Abstract
This project is a study of VHE gamma ray astronomy using atmospheric Cherenkov technique. The project involved the study of processes of interaction of gamma rays, formation of extensive air showers, imaging of the Cherenkov radiation and data analysis of the observed data of Crab Nebula and MRK421 using TACTIC at Mt. Abu, India.
