(edit 9-16-2014: Yikes! This review was accidentally posted to Lonely Planet Discover India, which was reviewed at the same time.)
Can one guidebook cover all of India? It sounds unrealistic, but DK Eyewitness Travel does a good job. If you haven’t decided on what to visit, this will help. Or, it may overwhelm you with so many choices. The coverage is encyclopedic, and the photos and illustrations are beautiful. Once you narrow down your areas of interest, consider some of the regional or city guides.
I only had 2 complaints. First, at 2.3 pounds, it’s a bit heavy. Secondly, the type is small. Most of the text is 6 point type, which is readable in average light, but the index and glossary are 4 point, which I found hard to read.
After the trip, when I can’t remember the name of that temple I photographed, I just check DK eyewitness. When shopping for travel guides, I always look for DK first.
If you are going to India, what do you need in addition to this guide? Read A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry.

I added this book to my now-huge collection of Eyewitness Travel Guides not so much for its practical uses in planning a trip to south India as for inspiration.

ঘরে বসে ইন্ডিয়া দেখার জন্য অসাধারণ বই। লোনলি প্ল্যানেটের ট্রাভেল গাইডের চাইতেও ভালো এইটা :)
