	About the Book : Architectural Heritage of a Sikh State : Faridkot The Faridkot state was one of the Sikh States created in Malwa region of the Punjab during the later half of the eighteenth century. The rulers and aristocracy built a vast variety of buildings which included forts, palaces, havelis, adminstrative buildings, bazaars, gurudwaras, mosques, temples, etc. Collectively, these buildings represent the style of architecture that flourished during the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century in the Sikh states of Punjab, which has not been studied so far. The book comprises eight chapters. The first chapter delineates the geographical and historical background of the region comprising the erstwhile Faridkot state. An analysis of the silent architectural features of the monuments is contained in the second chapter. The remaining six chapters documents the monuments of the State on typological basis. The text is illustrated with 9 maps, 131 drawings, 35 colour and 196 monochrome plates.
