Color is the thread that binds the vast country together, defining every aspect of life from religion and politics to food and dress. Organized by the five dominant colors royal blue, sandstone, marigold, ivory, and rose, this book explores how deeply color and pattern exist in a symbiotic relationship and are woven into every part of the culture. For instance, the fuchsia found in the draping fabric of a sari is matched by the vibrant chains of roses offered at temple, and the burnt orange spices in the marketplaces are reflected in the henna tattoos given to brides and wedding guests. While every color is imbued with meaning, it is often within the details of patterns that the full story comes to light. Photographer and writer Christine Chitnis spent over a decade traveling through, getting to know, and falling in love with the intricate patterns of everyday Rajasthani life. With history and culture-based essays woven throughout the more than 200 stunning photographs of architecture, markets, cuisine, art, textiles, and everyday goings-on, Patterns of India captures the beauty and essence of this unique part of the world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 7.32 x 1.14 x 9.84 inches | | Isbn 10 | 0525577092 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0525577096 | | Item Weight | 2.14 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 288 pages | | Publication Date | March 3, 2020 | | Publisher | Clarkson Potter | ## Images ![Patterns of India: A Journey Through Colors, Textiles, and the Vibrancy of Rajasthan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91FWM739bSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Informational and Inspiring Visual Journey Through Rajasthan *by on Reviewed in the United States March 6, 2020* If you love culture, photography, art, and writing, you will love this intimate and vivid journey through Rajasthan.
