'Glimpses of Architecture in Kerala' (currently out of print) intends to explore, through a visual commentary, the extraordinary buildings of Kerala in India. The images allow a glimpse of the exciting treasures this part of India provides. The book does not try to explain styles or history of the buildings but concentrates on conveying the way in which an architect perceives these buildings and art. Sri Aurobindo writes that 'Indian Architecture should be seen in loneliness, in the solitude of one's self, in moments when one is capable of long and deep meditation and as little weighted as possible with the conventions of material life.'
