The person and personality of Prof. Om Prakash is very clearly reflected through the articles of the first Felicitation part that is full of blessings, appreciation, respect and honour on a personal level from the teachers, friends, colleagues and students in their reminiscences. Then comes the academic part of the volume consisting of seven different sections, viz., 'Historiography, Polity and Vedic Studies'; 'Social and Economic History and Numismatics and Epigraphical Studies'; 'Archaeology'; 'Art and Literature'; 'Religion and Philosophy'; 'World Culture and Civilization'; and lastly the 'Medieval India'. The articles in these section bring into light some important facts of Indian culture and society and initiate scholarly discussions on some untouched points of the same. The thematic pluarity in the vivid singularity of the volume corresponds in a befitting manner the multidimensional personality of Prof. Om Prakash who combines a number of qualities.
