  Very High Energy (VHE) gamma -ray Astronomy observations are planned to be
carried out at Pachmarhi in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh using
the well known atmospheric Cerenkov technique. An array of 25 Cerenkov
telescopes is currently under construction. Using this array it is proposed to
sample the Cerenkov light pool at various distances from the shower core in
order to estimate the lateral distribution parameters of the shower. In this
paper we discuss the scientific motivation of this concept of enriching the
gamma -ray signal as compared to the standard imaging technique. The current
status of the detector development and the expected results will be presented.
