Description

Explore the material history of the Suhrawardi Sufi Order between 1200 and 1500 AD. This scholarly work from Cambridge University Press offers a detailed examination of Ismaili-Shia esotericism through the lens of architecture and material culture. It provides a fresh perspective on religious plurality by looking at ancient rituals and astrology. While connections between Sufism and Shi'ism have long been theorized, this book provides evidence using historical sources, metaphysics, and archaeological findings. The text examines how the monuments of the Suhrawardi Order developed from the original lodges established by Pir Shams in the region. This study is essential for readers interested in the history of South Asia and the physical evolution of religious structures on the Indus.
