Book Description

Preface

In this monograph an attempt has been made to trace the history of Panchala and its capital Ahichchhatra through ancient Indian literature supplemented by the evidence of the itineraries of the Chinese pilgrims and relevant numismatic data. As regards the archaeological remains at Ahichchhatra I should like to draw the readers' attention to Cunningham's Archaeological Survey of India Reports, Vol. I, pp. 255 foll. For the convenience of the readers, a map of Panchala has been given at the end.
