PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
It gives me great pleasure to publish Dr. Kantilal F. Sompura's thesis entitled "The Structural Temples of Gujarat" which is a historical survey of the structural temples built in Gujarat upto 1600 A.D. with special reference to architectural canons discerned in their extinct remains. This thesis also reveals valuable information about most of the important temples in Gujarat and Saurashtra and a rare mastery in unravelling the tangled problems of their evolution.
I am grateful to Dr. K. F. Sompura for agreeing to the publication of this research work which was accepted by my University for the Ph.D. Degree. I also wish to express our grateful appreciation of the financial assistance given by the University Grants Commission.
I have no doubt that students and teachers and others interested in this subjects will find this reading a rewarding experience.
