THE ARCHITECTURAL ANTIQUITIES OF NORTHERN GUJARAT

About the Book:-The present volume of the Archaeological Survey of Western India is devoted to the description of the antiquarian remains in Northern Gujarat, principally within the dominions of His Highness the Gaikwad of Baroda. The antiquities of Dabhoi in the west of the same territory were illustrated and described in a separate work published in 1888 by order of His Highness, and subsequently translated and republished in Gujarati.
