While the Kalamulasastra programme forms research and publication of primary texts, the Kalasamalocana programme relates to publications on interpretation and analysis of secondary material. These are considered to be classics of art criticism. The series is made up of volumes of critical texts and editions of works of eminent scholars who have dwelt upon the fundamental concepts, identified perennial sources and created bridges of communication by juxtaposing diverse traditions. Their work is of contemporary relevance and validity as they are engaged in search for roots and for a comprehensive perception. These significant works of scholarship are often unaccessible as they are either out of print or do not have translations in English.
Another emphasis in the Kalasamalocana programme is on the publishing of Selected Letters of illustrious scholars who have made a pioneering contribution to different fields of study. While their works reflect their scholarship, their personal notings help in determining the thought-process behind it. They reveal the inner being of the scholars, their influences, their theories and ideologies. The letters published so far are those of Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, Romain Rolland and Hazari Prasad Dwivedi (in Hindi).
