The book deals mainly on archaeological evidences of temples that came to light from excavation conducted by Archaeological Survey of India under orders from Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court.
The evidence and conclusively proved that there were successive temples below the disputed structure. Even the court agreed that the disputed site is the birth place of Lord Rama, and a very big temple marked the haloed birth place and the same was pulled down in 1528 C A.D. under the orders of Muslim invader Babar. The disputed structure was built against the tenets of Islam and thus had no full characters of mosque.

The book in simple terms brings all these facts for the scholars and common man, so that truth could be brought before all.
