'Architecture, the mother of all Arts, has been most assiduously cultivated in India through the centuries. The beginnings are found in the excavations of sites going back to a period contemporaneous with ancient Chaldea and Egypt: the ruins at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa take back the Indian Architectural tradition to 3000 B.C.'
