In true Lonely Planet style, Sacred India is not just another picture book, but examines the less savoury aspects of religious life, from sati to assassination. The major contributors come from within Lonely Planet's own ranks; Hindu, Sikh and Moslem, they are as diverse as their subject.
Sacred India is the perfect book for anyone who has ever travelled to India and wondered at the worship of holy cows or the discipline of Ramadan fasters. It is also perfect for those who may have never travelled anywhere, but who like to explore the different paths of the inner world. Above all, it is a book that will delight the eye and enrich the soul.
