________________ Role of Remote Sensing in Archaeology with Special Reference... 223 (vii) Location - The geographical site and location of the object often provide clue for identifying objects and understanding their genesis e. g. : Salt affected land-inland river/ desert plains. (viii) Association - It refers to situation of the object with respect to other surface and neighboring features e.g. canals with agricultural fields. (ix) Resolution - Resolution depends upon the remote sensing system and processing of the acquired data. Identification of any object or feature depends on the resolution. If the objects · are smaller than the resolution of the image, it is difficult to identify them. Objects of larger size can be easily identified and interpreted. Jainology Jainology deals with the story of Jainism with special reference to architecture, sculptures and temples. The Jaina iconography has a grammar of its own and prescribes that the images of “Tirthankaras", are called as "Jina" (Nagarajaiah, 2007). The images of "Jina" are normally shown stack naked with no garment. Jaina monuments are present around the "Gwalior Fort". Two very important and famous Jaina sites are located at Urwahi Gate and Gopachal (Ek Patther Ki Bawri) in and around the fort hill. Urwahi Gate and Gopachal Jain Colossi are located in North-West and South-East direction from the strike of fort hill and called as Urwahi Group and Gopachal group respectively. Geologically, both Jaina sites are developed in Sandstone of Kaimur formation (Upper Vindhyan Group). Gwalior fort rests on Kaimur formation. Jain colossi are made within the sandstone of Kaimur formation.
