This book represents the first serious consideration of
Ismaili-Shia esotericism in material and architectural terms, as
well as of pre-modern conceptions of religious plurality in rituals
and astrology. Sufism has long been reckoned to have connections to
Shi'ism, but without any concrete proof. The book shows this
connection in light of current scholarly work on the subject,
historical sources, and most importantly, metaphysics and
archaeological evidence. The monuments of the Suhrawardi Order,
which are derived from the basic lodges set up by Pir Shams in the
region, constitute a unique building archetype. The book's greatest
strength lies in its archaeological evidence and in showing the
metaphysical commonalities between Shi'ism/Isma'ilism and the
Suhrawardi Sufi Order, both of which complement each other. In
addition, working on premise and supposition, certain reanalysed
historical periods and events in Indian Muslim history serve as
added proof for the author's argument.
