| Understanding the subsurface structural features in the Indian peninsular shield is a major geological challenge. The Remote sensing IRSP6 - LISS IV satellite image data and geographic information system (GIS) were used to comprehend the faults, folds, lineaments and other structural features in the region. The structural features like faults and dykes are mapped along with their interceptive zones in the study area. These features will act as potential loci for mineral resources in any geological terrain. The region is part of peninsular shield characterized by undulating topography with erosional and denudational landforms like inselbergs and inselberg complexes and ridges are found amidst vast areas of dissected pediments and pediplains. Remote sensing satellite images are proved to be more authentic in characterizing the structural features and are indirectly supports in mineral exploration strategies.
