Description
Product Details
Vidisha is one of the richest regions of Central India yielding vast archaeological wealth. Renowned in ancient literature as the capital of Akara and Dasarna and as a centre of cultural activities, with trade routes passing through it, the place has naturally attracted attention of archaeologists, from time to time. Explorations and excavations conducted here proved unhampered cultural growth of the region from the protohistoric times to the period of the Paramaras of Malwa. The ancient literary evidences and available protohistoric, epigraphic, numismatic, art and architectural source material have undoubtedly proved that Vidisha region represented one of the chief centres in the country where religious and cultural integration was fructified. The present volume, incorporating the landmark studies by specialists in respective fields, makes an attempt to interlink textual, literary and archaeological sources. The book is an attempt to present detailed and critical account of the rich cultural heritage of Vidisha region. It is hoped that this study will open avenues for further studies and will be valuable for researchers, scholars, students, general interest readers and tourists alike.
