Susunia has attracted the attention of scholars, antiquarians and pilgrims for its rich archaeological, epigraphical heritage, natural beauty and sacred springs.

This paper undertakes a multidisciplinary exploration method of the site to focus on its archaeological findings and the renowned inscription of king Chandravarman. Through a detailed analysis of palaeolithic tools, fossils, early historic evidence and the inscription of Chandravarman (4th c.
