Summary
"Sacred and symbolic offers a captivating and richly illustrated glimpse into the history of India, four millenia of cultural assimilation through conquest and commerce, enduring traditions, religious diversity and incredible prosperity - but with a difference. The story of diamonds, from their spiritual symbolism to an icon status and their trade, is interwoven into the full tenure of India's past."--Book jacket
