Abstract:
Historical monuments are the cultural heritage of any nation. They serve as points of
remembrance and can facilitate tourism. In this project, there is an attempt to
characterize mortar samples obtained from different historical monuments in the Indian
state of Maharashtra. Their chemical composition has been analyzed and tabulated.
This study can serve as a reference material for any future research in this field and the
data obtained could serve as a benchmark for any monument restoration work if it takes
place in these selected areas. This study also tried to determine if any particular pattern
or trend is observable in the chemical parameters calculated for these samples.
