The book deals with some of the most important excavations carried out and researches done by the author during his long academic career. These include excavations at Kalibangan in the Saravati basin, Sringaverapura in U.P. and Sisupalgarh in Odisha. But more important than the foregoing excavations and discoveries is the finding of solutions to certain highly debated issues, such as the historicity of the two Indian epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. After exploring and excavating sites associated Professor Lal has found very compelling evidence which demonstrates that the epics have a basis in history.
