History of Indian architecture and design begins with Indus Valley Civilization. Indian architecture boasts of a wide variety of historical and traditional structures. The diversity of Indian culture is represented in the form of architecture. Indian architecture has glimpses of varied native traditions, blended with building types, forms and technology from Central Asia and Europe.
