| Title: | Architecture and Painting: Mansions and Monasteries of Paithan Shivaji and Facets of Maratha Culture, edited by Saryu Doshi, | | Author: | Morwanchikar, R.S. | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 34-2, p. 113-122 | | Abstract: | Paithan, the ancient city of Pratishthan on the banks of the Godavari, was a flourishing centre of trade and commerce. The Paithan sahukars (merchants) brought living styles with them, resulting in evolved styles of secular architecture which contained elements from Hindu buildings of Gujarat and Rajasthan, and Muslim structures of the Mughals and Deccani Sultans. The article describes the characteristic architectural features of the wadas of the sahukars, and the mathas (Hindu temple monasteries) at Paithan.
