 This book, Agni, offers a groundbreaking exploration of the origins and evolution of the vedic fire god, Agni. This is the first comprehensive study that identifies the presence of fire within the religious art, symbols, and  script of the Indus valley Civilization. By Carefully analysis Indus seals and comparing them with vedic descriptions, this work reveals compelling new perspectives on fire symbolism and its historical development.

The book establishes that the religious art of the Indus Valley contains depictions of the fire god, making a significant breakthrough in understanding  early symbolic traditions. it further argues that fire symbolism, as seen in the art and evolving script of the civilization, played a central role in shipping religious practices Finally, this study challenges prevailing theories by proposing that vedic religion, rather than emerging later evolved within the cultural and spiritual landscape of the Indus Valley Itself.
