A THESIS APPROVED FOR THE CHRISTOPHER C. GIBBS COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE BY THE COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF Callahan, Marjorie P., Chair Warnken, Charles G. Fithian, Lee A. ©Copyright by RAMYA PALANI 2019 All Rights Reserved. iv Abstract The Cholas (848 CE – 1279 CE) established an imperial line and united a large portion of what is now South India under their rule. The Cholas, known worldwide for their bronze sculptures, world heritage temples and land reforms, were also able builders. They followed a traditional systematic approach called Vaastu Sastra in building their cities, towns, and villages. In an attempt to discover and reconstruct Gangaikonda Cholapuram, an administrative capital (metropolis) of the Chola Dynasty, evidence is collected from the fragments of living inscriptions, epigraphs, archaeological excavation, secondary sources, and other sources pertinent to Vaastu Sastra. The research combines archival research methodology, archaeological documentation and informal architectural survey. The consolidation, analysis, and manipulation of data helps to uncover the urban infrastructure of Gangaikonda Cholapuram city.

  • Economic and Cultural History of Tamilnadu from Sangam Age to 1800 C.E
    I - M.A. HISTORY Code No. 18KP1HO3 SOCIO – ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF TAMILNADU FROM SANGAM AGE TO 1800 C.E. UNIT – I Sources The Literay Sources Sangam Period The consisted, of Tolkappiyam a Tamil grammar work, eight Anthologies (Ettutogai), the ten poems (Padinen kell kanakku ) the twin epics, Silappadikaram and Manimekalai and other poems. The sangam works dealt with the aharm and puram life of the people. To collect various information regarding politics, society, religion and economy of the sangam period, these works are useful. The sangam works were secular in character. Kallabhra period The religious works such as Tamil Navalar Charital,Periyapuranam and Yapperumkalam were religious oriented, they served little purpose. Pallava Period Devaram, written by Apper, simdarar and Sambandar gave references tot eh socio economic and the religious activities of the Pallava age. The religious oriented Nalayira Tivya Prabandam also provided materials to know the relation of the Pallavas with the contemporary rulers of South India. The Nandikkalambakam of Nandivarman III and Bharatavenba of Perumdevanar give a clear account of the political activities of Nandivarman III. The early pandya period Limited Tamil sources are available for the study of the early Pandyas. The Pandikkovai, the Periyapuranam, the Divya Suri Carita and the Guruparamparai throw light on the study of the Pandyas. The Chola Period The chola empire under Vijayalaya and his successors witnessed one of the progressive periods of literary and religious revival in south India The works of South Indian Vishnavism arranged by Nambi Andar Nambi provide amble information about the domination of Hindu religion in south India.

  • Archaeologically Excavated Sites in Tiruchirapplli
    The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO: 0886-9367 M.SATHYA Roll No.25599/Ph.D2 Ph.D. Research Scholar Department of History Govt. Arts College for Women(A), Pudukkottai & Dr.S.Neelavathi M.A.,M.Phil.Ph.D Assistant Professor, Department of History Govt. Arts College for Women(A), Pudukkottai ARCHAEOLOGICALLY EXCAVATED SITES IN TIRUCHIRAPPLLI Tiruchirappalli is reputed for the antiquity of its civilization and situated on the riverbanks of Cauvery. It has been the centre of many empires and battlefields, besides being an important strategic place. It is also chiefly attractive for its remarkable Rock and the group of temples clustered on and around it. Tiruchirappalli was a part of Uraiyur till the close of the 14th century and had no separate identity. In the writings of early Greek travelers, Uraiyur is figured frequently. The Anthor of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea mentioned Argaru (Uraiyur) as the centre of trade1. It is also referred as Koliyur in the Sangam literature2. „It would appear that, up to Viswanatha‟s reign Uraiyur was the capital of the country, and that the he found Tiruthirappalli at all events, fortified and greatly enlarged it.‟3 Antiquity of Tiruthirappalli To analyse the antiquity of Tiruthirappalli, one has to study thoroughly the geological factors which shaped the destiny of Tiruthirappalli. The present Volume XI, Issue IX, September/2019 Page No:3603 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO: 0886-9367 geographical features, perhaps may give some scope to the study of per-history. Though hereditary and environmental factors to a large extent shaped the life of the people in the per-historic and historic periods, it was not so in the geological age.

  • [23 July, 2014] 553 the Temples Declared As Heritage Sites Like
    Special [23 July, 2014] Mentions 553 The temples declared as Heritage Sites like Darasuram, Gangaikonda, Cholapuram, Pazhayarai etc. are also easily accessible from Kumbakonam. Kumbakonam is noted for fine arts like music, dance, folk arts, sculpture, etc. The silk fabrics, brass, silver and bronzewares, jewellery, etc. manufactured here find their way to all places in India and abroad. The idols, statues, etc. made of brass, bronze or panchaloka conceived and shaped in this area are not only installed in our temples and worshipped but also exported to many foreign countries. This city has been attracting many Indian and foreign tourists. In view of the above factors, I request the Union Government to declare the holy city of Kumbakonam as a very important tourist centre and to do the needful in propa- gating and publicizing this message in all the communications and publications of the Tourism Department. This is important in view of the forthcoming Mahamaham Festival in February-March, 2016. Demand for widening of certain stretches of National Highway No. 67 in Tamil Nadu and reconstructing a steel bridge on Highway at Kallar SHRI A. K. SELVARAJ (Tamil Nadu): The widening four lane from km 360/6- 380/0 of NGM road (NH-67) was previously under the control of NHAI. Last year this road was handed over to NH due to cancellation of Kangeyampalayam -- Mettupalayam (54 km) four lane work. Existing Coimbatore to Narasimanaickenpalayam stretch was already four laned. Balance stretch from Narasimanaickenpalayam to Mettupalayam is only two lane. Hence, traffic congestion occurs at this stretch. Hence, four laning of this stretch is necessary.
