state known as Surapura Samsthana founded by the Bedars and ruled between 1650 and 1858 AD. in Sagara-nadu or Shorapur Doab (Gulbarga Dist. Karnataka). The Samsthana was an off-shoot of the Vijayanagara empire and the Adil Shahis of Bijapur, and it main tained its suzerainty in the Shorapur Doab along with the Nizam and the Marathas. For the first time, by using archaeological and textual evidences, a complete reconstruction of the political and cultural history of the Samsthana has been presented here. One of the main objectives of the present work is brought out a comprehensive study of the art and architecture of the Surapura Sams thana including a comparative analysis in relation of the art and architecture of the con temporary powers in the Deccan. Systematic documentations of forts, capitals, small settlements, palaces, temples, monasteries and other archaeological sites of the Sams thana are presented here. The book also offers analytical and comparative studies of the monuments of the Samsthana with the other contemporary political powers of South India and Deccan in order to understand the importance of the Samsthana's art.
