A travel book with a difference, Hidden Faces of India takes readers to one of the world's most popular destinations, showing them facets of the country which visitors very rarely encounter. Combining black-and-white and full-color photography, each chapter tells a fascinating story of a fast-disappearing culture or way of life. "The Last of the Polyandrists" introduces us to a small village in the Himalayan foothills where women take up to five husbands, while "The Hilltop Temple" tells of pilgrims flocking to shave off their hair as an offering to the gods. Hidden Faces of India's exceptional photographs and captivating stories make this book a perfect souvenir for anyone with a personal or anthropological interest in this vibrant and diverse land.
