The Islamic Heritage of Bengal
Unesco
"The Islamic Heritage of Bengal" by George Michell is a volume that aims to introduce the principal monuments of Islamic Bengal, shedding light on their distinctive features and architectural traditions. The book highlights the unique coherence of these monuments, which share regional characteristics in their forms, materials, techniques, and ornamentation. It emphasizes the importance of preserving these brick buildings, many of which are at risk of deterioration due to the tropical climate and lack of proper maintenance, while also drawing attention to the often overlooked heritage of Bengal's Islamic sites divided between India and Bangladesh.
