Abstract

Eastern Ghats Granulite Belt skirts the eastern fringe of the Indian Subcontinent lying astride the belts of Dharwar, Baster, and Singhbhum Protocontinents. Traditionally, the belt is regarded as a homogeneous geological entity. However, the recent studies on lithology, age, metamorphic history, and polyphased deformation history provide evidence of strong tectonometamorphic heterogeneity of this accreted terrane. This is also evident in the reconnaissance structural and tectonic studies that provide a clear indication that the Eastern Ghats Granulite Belt truly represents a collage of juxtaposed terrane. The new concept is likely to provide motivation for future studies in regional and smaller domains in finding out true picture that would help in understanding of the tectonometamorphic character of the heterogeneously deformed belt.
