Bhutan's Buddhist Architecture

Bhutan is a small Himalayan country with a rich Buddhist heritage and a striking architectural style. Bhutan's Buddhist Architecture provides an introduction and travel guide to the country's beautiful temples, monasteries and dzongs--the fortresses built while Bhutan was being unified as a Buddhist state. Illustrated with maps, plans, and more than a hundred photographs the book includes brief historical and architectural overviews, a dozen examples of the country's best-known buildings, and a pictorial glossary of forty Buddhist symbols commonly used in building decoration.
