A stunning landscape inhabited from the Stone Age onwards and some of the earliest examples of temple architecture in southern India make it spectacular. However, this region is also important that it might contain clues about the link between prehistoric cultures, their practices such as erection of megaliths and later monumental architecture. I am writing this book as a culmination of extensive field work in this area. The book will be written for general readers.(less)
