Description:
This book, enriched with five maps and 66 colour plates, seeks to examine the various aspects of fort and fortification technology before the use of gun powder, with special reference to the Tahangarh Fort, one of the main forts of Rajput Kingdom of Jadons at Bayana. It studies the fort and fortification of Tahangarh, along with the structures existing inside systematically and scientifically with the help of archaeological tools. It delineates the development in the field of architecture and building technology. The book adds a new chapter in the field of the study of Indian sculptures as it furnishes the detailed description of the rare sculptures discovered in the fort. Moreover, the book can be considered as a rare contribution in the field of epigraphy as it contains the editing and translation of a number of newly discovered inscriptions in the fort and their use as primary source in reconstructing the history of the Tahangarh Fort.
