<br/><br/> The book "Temples of Koh-e-Jud & Thar" is a publication by the Anjuman Mimaran (Architects' Association), which serves as a detailed documentation of the Hindu temple architecture in two distinct regions of Pakistan: the Salt Range (Koh-e-Jud) in Punjab and the Thar Desert in Sindh. The book is not authored by a single person but is a collaborative effort by the association, with the goal of highlighting and preserving the often-overlooked architectural heritage of Hindu communities in Pakistan.<br/><br/>The publication's central theme is the exploration of these temples as significant historical and architectural landmarks. The first section focuses on the temples of the Salt Range, such as the Katas Raj Temples, which exhibit a unique blend of Hindu and regional architectural styles. The second part delves into the temples of the Thar Desert, known for their distinctive designs adapted to the desert climate, often featuring intricate carvings and vibrant colors. The book is a valuable resource for its rich collection of photographs, architectural plans, and historical narratives, which document the unique building traditions and the cultural landscape of these regions. It stands as a vital effort to preserve the memory of a heritage that is rapidly fading.
