We live in the world of manifest phenomena. Yet, since the beginning of time, man has intuitively sensed the existence of another world: a non-manifest world whose presence underlies-and makes endurable-the one he experiences every day. The principal vehicles through which we explore and communicate our notions of this non-manifest world are religion, philosophy and the arts. Like these, architecture is generated by mythic beliefs, expressing the presence of a reality more profound than the manifest world in which it exists.
In India, these beliefs are all-pervading, They surface everywhere since they are not confined to formal art and philosophy but thrive in popular incarnations as well.
