"In the book, Havell describes the city's history, culture, architecture, and religious practices. He also provides an account of the city's social and economic conditions, including the lives of its residents and the various communities that lived there. He also describes the city's many temples, shrines, and other religious sites, and provides an account of the city's festivals and rituals.The book is notable for its detailed descriptions and illustrations of the city's architectural and artistic heritage, which Havell believed was at risk of being lost due to modernization and neglect. He also describes the influence of Buddhism and Jainism in the city and its surrounding areas which were prevalent during ancient times."
