Well designed thesaurus reveals its results in the applications of browsing and information searching in the document. Thesaurus is an important tool, which is well suited to find more and/or better terms during writing and reading the documents. Such monolingual thesaurus for Hindi language has been presented in this paper.

Implementation of thesaurus includes various challenges the foremost being designing the database for synonyms and antonyms for efficient retrieval of results.
