Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This volume presents a comprehensive account of the Vijayanagara Empire and Hampi-Vijayanagara site through a study of archaeology, photography, painting, sculptures, inscriptions, coinage, conservation and heritage, and existing scholarship.
MoreLong description:
This volume brings together thirty years of research on both the Hampi-Vijayanagara site and the Vijayanagara Empire. It is divided into two equal parts. The first concentrating on Hampi-Vijayanagara, investigates Vijayanagara scholarship, archaeological work, issues related to the conservation and heritage, photography, sculptures, and sacred topography. The second links the city with the wider regions of the empire. The themes explored include Ramayana and
Vijayanagara paintings, development of regional architecture, temple inscriptions, Shaivite ascetic sculptures, portrait-sculpture, and Vijayanagara coinage.
This book will interest scholars and students of medieval Indian history, archaeology, architecture, and religion, particularly those concerned with Vijayanagara Empire and south India.
