Mr. Mukherji himself undertook the task with the greatest possible enthusiasm. He had graduated with Sanskrit and ancient history and received training in the method and principle of Græco-Roman and modern architecture. As a part of his training, he had been taken under proper guidance round Nasik, Madura, and other places where he had to examine and sketch ancient Hindu and Muhammadan buildings. He came to know of the *Mānasāra* at the Agra branch of the Archaeological Department, wherefrom Mr. R. L. Bansal used to take books in connexion with the measured drawings he had been making to illustrate the preliminary chapters of the *Mānasāra*. Thus Mr. Mukherji eagerly undertook the task when Mr. Bansal could no longer continue with it.
