The book extends beyond the recording of archaeological findings at Shooltankeshwar and Avimukta-kshetra (Kashi-Vishwanath area). Having a special place in the Shaiva mythology of Varanasi, the material findings of these sites add much to the socio-religious history of the place when scrutinized along with folk-religious traditions. This volume also demonstrates the utility of conjoining the results of scientific analyses of tangible and intangible facets of a multi-layered cultural centre like Varanasi.
