Description

Gujarat played a significant role in the first war of independence in 1857. The Sabhamandapa of the Shri Swaminarayan temple, Ahmedabad, built over a span of fifteen years (1856-71) stands as an important testimony to this historic movement.

The wooden carved symbolism gives the impressions of the events of the First War of Indian Independence of 1857. The book is thus a first authentic account of the attempt of the artists who dared to record their own version of the event.
