This pioneering book is distinct in its kinds and coverage of the field of cultural astronomy. There is great depth to the sacred landscape, which is generated by many levels of meanings, many sources of energy, and many centres of attraction. Here, the Cosmic Order is illustrated with studies of Khajuraho, Gaya, Vindhyachal, Kashi, and Chitakut. The entry of the science of self organization into the discussion does not diminish the profound mystery and grandeur of the pilgrimage experiences as exemplified in this book.
