Iconography of Narasimha as portrayed in literature and sculpture with special reference to Tamilnadu
Deputy Superintending Archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India
The topic chosen for the first award was not a usual one and I had to visit most of the places from where I had drawn reference. The fieldwork done for this award was a very exciting experience it helped me to look into many other aspects connected with t. The study has actually resulted in a source book for future reference and this is in my opinion the most satisfying part of the Study Grant.
