520 8 |a It is perhaps for the first time that a book on the Indian indigenous architecture is attempted. Written in a lucid diction, it deals with the architectural traditions of Indian adivasi communities, highlighting the vital architectural peculiarities of indigenous domestic architecture, which have so far remained completely ignored. The dwellings of adivasi people living in the secluded pockets are the true 'homes' in letter and spirit which offer warm, affectionate and protective acceptance like mother's bosom, because each person of the family puts in his heart, soul and sweat to make these from the locally available raw materials. The walls painted with the enchanting devices and figures form an integral part of these 'homes'. Thus, if the structure is a 'physical component' of a 'home', the wall paintings form its 'spiritual component'. Therefore, none of these 'homes' is a cold structure, but the vibrant embodiment of grih-devata.0The architecture of these dwellings is a class by itself for its nostalgic charm and quintessential qualities. It never transgresses the natural ambiance of the locality, but complements it by imparting 'humane' touch. Thus, each of the traditional homesteads forms an organic part of the local environment
