Keywords:Archean Singhbhum Craton, Craton-margin multiple orogenic belts, Rengali Province-Eastern Ghats Province, Zircon and monazite geochronological data

Here we present the new zircon and monazite age data from the Rengali Province and the northern-northwestern parts of the Eastern Ghats (including Phulbani Domain) revealing the tectonic evolution of the Rengali Province and its eventual juxtaposition to the Eastern Ghats Province. This provides important clues to the long yet punctuated evolution of the Eastern Indian terrane.
