The narrative technique which the writer appropriated from the tradition of Harikatha is the key success of the novel. Raja rao collects the materials for his novel from the history, culture and political movements of pre-independent India. The writer pictures an ideal Indian village, Kanthapura, where the story takes place. Kanthapura is one of the gems of Indian narrative literature.
