INDIAN LANDSCAPE
http://www.kamat.com/database/content/landscapes/index.htm

India has had a particular fascination for travelers from far off lands through the ages. They have been incongruous mixture of pilgrims, and missionaries, merchants and envoys, soldiers of fortune and adventurer of all types.

…………….many of them have left highly informative and vivid accounts of their travels. They have given us delightful descriptions of different facets of Indian life -- social customs and institutions, religious practices and beliefs, trade and commerce, government and administration.

Surprisingly, there is no evidence of any picture of India until almost the end of 18th century. ………………..

……………………………….Their sketches gave outside world - in fact even the Indians themselves - the first visual pictures of the wonderful monuments in different parts of the country.
