It aims at presenting the information in an analytic manner and also in chronological order. Beginning from the Vedic yuga, the book presents an in-depth study of Devasura yuga, Satya yuga, Dwapar yuga and Kaliyuga.

All the information, both conventional and recent, provided in the book are authentic as they are taken from the authoritative sources. The book is unique in its presentation as it richly provides maps of ancient states, photographs and figures, which not only give a glimpse of the related age or Yuga but also facilitate easy understanding of information.
