It is a loose translation of a similar two-volume work in Marathi by the same authors and editors. The work is about architecture in Maharashtra, and how it should be seen and understood in its historic context. From the pre-historic period to contemporary times, architecture is the focus.[1] The work was commissioned by the Maharashtra State Board of Literature and Culture.
