In M¿ndh¿tr¿durga ¿ A Preliminary Catalogue of the Historic Monuments at O¿k¿re¿var¿M¿ndh¿t¿ Jürgen Neuß offers for the first time a comprehensive survey of the extant historic monuments at O¿k¿re¿var-M¿ndh¿t¿, the most important place of pilgrimage in the Narmad¿ 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, M¿ndh¿tr¿durga, which represents the only preserved fortified city of the Param¿ras of Dh¿ra in the Narmad¿ valley presently known to us.
