India with its glorious past has inherited a remarkable variety of rich cultural heritage right from the prehistoric times. Since the cultural properties are the living witnesses of our age-old traditions, it is the common responsibility of all mankind to safeguard them for posterity.
The present work is a comprehensive account of management and conservation works carried out in various types of monuments and sites in India, such as the prehistoric sites and excavated remains, the rock-cut caves, monoliths and the structural heritage. It is an authentic and formal presentation of the conservation and management efforts in the monuments and sites based on the first-hand information accrued by the author. Further, the author has made a sincere attempt to collect all the relevant information from various published and unpublished reports, inspection notes, scientific investigations from various sources and archives and has tried to incorporate the details at appropriate places in this work. The book also provides in detail the international and national initiatives for management and conservation of cultural heritage, conservation principles, causes of deterioration of cultural heritage, conservation methods, structural components and ancient building materials, heritage management, various rules and regulations, charters and conventions on heritage management and other relevant topics. Photo illustrations and drawings are provided wherever required for easy understanding. The notable charters, conventions and rules and regulations on the cultural heritage and dimension of ancient bricks are given in the appendices for ready reference.
It is hoped that this book would attract the attention of not only the scholars, intellectuals, researches and students engaged in the study of heritage management and conservation, archaeology, architecture and civil engineering, but also all those who are concerned with our cultural heritage.
