It studies the evolution of the Hindu temple from the Gupta period onwards, on the basis of the relics at Chittorgadh where a brick temple has been discovered. It includes study of Sculpture and Iconography which have been integrally associated with the Temple. The Samadhiswara Temple has been studied with the help of epigraphic data. The Jami Masjid of the Khalji period has been rediscovered and the style of the Muslim Monuments of Chittorgadh assessed.
