Kotraiah Archaeologist while he was in the service of that august organization The Archaeological Survey of India and even after retirement in the year 1985. All of them are based on his thorough and thoughtful investigations into the archaeological remains spread in that vast but rich site of Hampi Vijayanagara. All of them were got published by him from time to time in different journals periodicals books felicitation volumes etc. And they are reproduced here in one volume thereby making them easily accessible to the interested scholars. Particularly the articles pertaining to sculptures are unique one since they are explained authentically quoting from the contemporary Kannada literary works which otherwise are not manageable to the non Kannada scholars. Further much talked of the glorious achievements of the Vijayanagara empire was mainly due to economic prosperity which in turn depended on agricultural prosperity supported by intensive and extensive irrigation systems adopted and practiced during the period. And the same is dealt in nine papers but authentically as usual. Another one is the conjectural picture of a museum patronized by the royal house specially. 398 pp.
