About the Researcher
I am a historian and independent researcher working at the intersection of Ancient Indian history, archaeology, historical ecology, and astronomy. My interests include prehistory, temple architecture, trade networks, cultural landscapes, epigraphy, and ancient scripts, alongside the relationship between environment, knowledge systems, and civilisation in early societies.
My work engages with archaeological evidence, inscriptions, and classical literature to explore long-term cultural and intellectual processes across the ancient world. Through research and writing, I aim to present historically grounded narratives that combine scholarly rigour with accessible interpretation.
