The history is presented through: (1) the architecture, including the Palace of Winds, the Amber Fort, the Taj Mahal, and the Agra Fort; (2) the cities, including New Delhi, Calcutta, and Bombay; and (3) the geographic features, including the Himalayas, the Thar Desert, the Ajanta Caves, and the Great Penance. "India's Great Religions" are the focus of part two. The predominant religion, Hinduism, the religious beliefs, ceremonies, and temples are discussed. Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism are presented in relation to Hinduism. The other religions covered are Islam and Baha'i. Part 1 contains a glossary of general terms, while part 2 provides individual glossaries of religious terms for Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Islam.
