Indian civilization has a remarkable history attached to its core. The inheritance of heritage has imprinted Indian soil in diverse ways as a result of its deep foundation in its history, culture, and religion. This has undoubtedly given rise to fascinating architecture, Indian architecture that has evolved through centuries depending upon socio-economic, geographical, and ruling conditions. Every nook and corner of the country has a piece of heritage architecture that tells tales of historical stories within their soul. However, the architectural legacy of monuments ranging from the Hindu temples, Indo-Islamic history to the British colonial period has left profound architectural heritage wealth to cherish and learn for a lifetime. In the material form of buildings, architectural works are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art.

This started off with planning for better living quarters in the Indus Valley Civilization and went on to form the basis of planning and architecture in the country. As is evident from history itself, Indians have always pioneered in architecture and planning. From the intricate designing in the caves of Bhimbetka to the high rise skyscrapers that adorn the skyline of our cities.
