Whether it be the examination of the temple, megalithic structures or anything else, Dr. Sankalia’s  emphasis is always on a systematic search and study. And it is his concern for methodology that lends a distinct character to Dr. Sankalia’s writings.

These thirtythree papers, selected from the vast body of Prof. Sankalia’s systematic researches, bear on numerous disciplines viz., history, historical geography, archaeology, iconography, religion, literature, culture, and museology.
