dc.description.abstract This research considers the built environment primarily as material culture and situates it within the larger landscape of the Lonar tīrtha (literally, a point of crossing over, but commonly understood as a place of pilgrimage or a sacred centre). It is an archaeological study, considering the architectural forms as artefacts of the medieval period and employs art historical perspectives to the built environment for a nuanced study of its characteristics. A historical enquiry into a landscape like Lonar with architecture as the point of departure, can be effective in understanding the longue durée settlement of a site. Such a site study accentuates the continuum within the form and fabric of the architectural forms and highlights the development of a regional idiom in the built environment. en_US
