In Mandhatr¿durga - A Preliminary Catalogue of the Historic Monuments at
O¿karesvar-Mandhata Jürgen Neuß offers for the first time a comprehensive survey of
the extant historic monuments at O¿karesvar-Mandhata, the most important place of
pilgrimage in the Narmada valley. Although the place is known as an archaeological
site since the middle of the 19th century, it has till date been overlooked that the
remains are much more extensive and coherent than the rarely published
archaeological notes, that deal with only a few monuments, suggest. This book
provides a long overdue survey of the whole area which in essence represents a
conglom¬eration of three historic settlements. At the center lies a thoroughly
structured fortification, Mandhatr¿durga, which represents the only preserved
fortified city of the Paramaras of Dhara in the Narmada valley presently known to
us.
