This innovative multidisciplinary study which draws on anthropology architecture and ethno archaeology focuses on the inhabitants and dwellings of a royal village in central Karnataka only a short distance away from the ruins of Vijayanagara. The volume presents a detailed survey of over fifty houses ranging from simple one roomed dwellings to elaborate mansions inhabited by the descendants of the ruling house of Anegondi. More than one hundred annotated drawings illustrate room arrangements showing how domestic space is used by the occupants as well as architectural details of building exteriors and interiors. The inhabitants believe that Anegondi is located within Kishkindha the monkey kingdom mentioned in the Ramayana. Many local sites are associated with those mentioned in this epic.
