Abstract
This article concerns research issues in historic conservation exemplified through a case study of a sacred site in India. It discusses the environmental qualities of Indian sacred spaces characterised by a multiplicity of religions and diffusing into the realm of the secular. An historical survey of religious architecture, myths and legends and participant observations of the many user groups are recommended as research methodologies to be followed when formulating a conservation policy framework.
