Abstract

The Precambrian Delhi Group of rocks, which extend along a northeast-southwest belt in Rajasthan, disclose the presence of superimposed folds. A limited area around Kushalgarh in north eastern Rajasthan has been structurally studied in detail to establish the relative influence of the successive generations of folds which control the distribution of different units of the Delhi Group.

At Kushalgarh area a special interest is the study of superimposition of a late generation of fold on an earlier one. The structural pattern of the Delhi Group of rocks is shown to be dependent on the manner of such superimposition.
