The traditions that define Indian life have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Emphasizing the nine centuries of the "golden age," this introduction to India's noble culture reconstructs a time when political and religious enlightenment flourished, and artistic creation reached its height. It evokes the complexities of India's ancient epoch, caste system, endless ritual, and ceremonial nature of human relations.
