Historian Pradeep Chakravarthy Presents The Heritage vertical of Embassy Travel and Tours Along with Historian Pradeep Chakravarthy presents Srirangam; Thiru Vellarai; Malayadipatti; Kodumbalur; Rock fort; Thiruverumbur; Uraiyur Tanjore Art and weaving February 15th -16th 2018 Registration until – 31st December 2018 Online Brochure - http://mysticalpalmyra.com Or contact us at [email protected] / 9282119040 Facebook Brochure: https://www.facebook.com/mysticalpalmyra/ Our Philosophy We seek to instill a tangible pride of our glorious past and build a responsible and culturally sensitive community through heritage travel Tiruchirappalli and Srirangam As the perennial river Cauvery the town of Tiru-Chirra-Palli or Trichy was and is perennial. Situated in the heart of Tamilnadu this city boasts of a glorious past and ultra modern future ”Smart City”. It’s name gives us a clue of the ancient traditions it has as a part of its location on the Kaveri river bank. The name denotes an ancient Jain vow of fasting to death. Mystical Palmyra along with Historian Pradeep Chakravarthy wafts you on a two day trip to explore the region’s rich history and of course the jewel in the crown, the Bhooloka Vaikuntam – Srirangam Ranganathar Temple For many this is heaven on earth. The temple town can seldom be fully explored. Our orientation will acquaint you with the rich history of the temple in terms of food, poetry, art and architecture. Those of you who know Tamil, be prepared to learn an ancient love poem on the temple! Thiruvellarai Thiruvellarai is a giant canvas. Its grand scale, though devoid of intricate sculptures, is reason enough to “wow” you. Witness the written record of the anger of a king muted by his passion for the tamil language. Nearby is a temple pond the likes of which you can never see anywhere else…. A prize if you guess what is unique about it! Kodumbalur The clan of Kodumbalur were once the decisive factor in determining the fame and fortune of the great Chola Kings. Today we only witness a pale shadow of a glorious past. Obscured amidst the rural settings, and one in complete ruins, these temples were the inspiration for the later Chola rulers’ architectural adventures. Malayadipatti A fine example of early cave temples rich with stone carvings. Additional charm to these monuments is added by painted stucco covering some of these sculptures. Although these temples have been made more than 1000 years ago, these are not the oldest monuments of history here. Granite cliffs contain three caves which served for Jain hermits in the 3rd – 4th century AD, these caves contain also capsules made by people 3 – 5 thousand years ago. Both rock-cut Hindu temples have been made in one granite monolith Rock Fort The iconic symbol of Trichy. We will not go up all the way but will stop midway to savour a little poetry in stone and the most imposing of all cave temples – and one king who became immortal because he did a little bit of boasting! Thiruverumbur Built by Aditya Chola (871-907 CE) along the banks of the Cauvery to commemorate his victory in the Tirupurambiyam Battle, Thiruverumbur has several inscriptions from the Chola empire dating back to the 10th century. Home to a very unique Shiva Linga. Uraiyur After admiring many architectural masterpieces in their natural settings, it is time to look at craft. Thanjavur paintings have a distinct Uraiyur style. Let us watch an artist bring this divine and uniquely Tamilian art form to life. We will also be visitng the fading craft Uraiyur style of weaving. A smoking connection between Uraiyur and a British parliamentarian will unfold as well… Day 1 – 14th February Day 3 – 16th February When - 2245 – Meet at Madras - 0730 – Breakfast and Egmore station - 0830 – Leave for Rock fort - 2330 – Leave for Trichy by - 1000 - Thiruvellarai Where Rock fort Express - 1300 – Lunch - 1500 – Leave for Malayadipatti th Day 2 – 15 February - 1730 – Brief stop at Thiruverumbur - 1900 – Back to hotel and refresh - 0525– Arrive at Trichy Station - 2000 – Dinner - 0530 – Check into Breeze.

These paintings are done on wooden board on which Layering of clay will get three dimensional embossed effect. 22 CARAT GOLD LEAF is pasted on the top, which gives a rich look to the painting. The drawing of the figures is monumental and robust and eyes are almond shaped. The portrayal of the figures in the paintings is breathtakingly brilliant. THANJAVUR PAINTINGS, the most typical paintings flourished with the patronage of the MARATHA Kings in the 18th century. These paintings are in the gilded and gemset technique (famous for ornamental relief work) and are sacred icons of the Hindu deities. The paintings are the scenes from the ancient scriptures of Hindu religion and the most famous style of South India. They are unique and rich in harmony of colors, designs, and traditional techniques blended with meticulous attention to details. The composition is characteristically static and consists generally of one main figure, the diety, centrally placed. The diety is formally housed within an enclosure of a palace or temple pavilion. Even when there is no architectural background, an enclosure is created by means of an arch, curtains, or formal surrounding borders.

  • PRELIMS ART & CULTURE.Indd
    CHAPTER 2.2 INDIAN PAINTINGS Introduction The origin of Indian painting goes back to 8000 years and an account of its development is inextricably meshed with the development of Indian civilization. Hunters and gatherers who made primitive tools and lived in the rock shelters of central India, made exaggerated linear fi gures of wild animals, such as the bison, the elephant and the stag in red and yellow ochre on the rock surfaces of cave walls. In the prehistoric paintings Rocks were scratched using stone & then natural colors are applied for painting. The natural colours used were ochre red, yellow earth color, soot black, green, white. Theme of painting: Hunting theme (group Hunting scenes); Figures of animals & birds; Battle Scenes; Dancing Scenes. Example; Bhimbetka Caves (MP). Prehistoric paintings belong to 3 periods: ! Upper Paleolithic: Use of white, dark red & green color to depict huge animals (bison, rhino, elephant, rhino etc.). ! Mesolithic: Use of red color, smaller paintings, common theme was group hunting scenes, gracing scenes, dawn scenes. ! Chalcolithic: Use of green & yellow color, common them was battle scenes with men riding horses & elephant with sharp weapons in the hands, group Dancing scenes. Indian Paintings can be broadly classifi ed as the Murals & Miniatures. Murals are huge works executed on the walls of solid structures. Classic examples are the paintings in Ajantha & Kailasantaha temple. Miniature paintings are those executed on a very small scale on perishable material such as paper, cloth, etc., though this style had been perfected by artisans under the various rules, not many remain today. Prime examples are the Rajasthani & Mughal miniatures.

Iniyan Asst. Prof., of Archaeology, School of History and Tourism Studies, Tamil Nadu Open University, Saidapet, Chennai, Tamilnadu Abstract Cultural/heritage tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry and hence there is a trend towards an increased specialization among tourists. The attraction over the adventure, culture, history and archaeological monuments etc. marks the increase of tourist in any region. Especially the interest of tourist from international destination and from India too, in traveling to cultural/ heritage destinations has increased recently and is expected to continue. For example, cultural/heritage sites are among the mostly preferred tourist attraction in Tamilnadu. The study on the Cultural/Heritage tourism leads to the result on the relationship between the cultural/heritage destination and the overall satisfaction of tourists. The difference in relation to tourist demographic characteristics like gender, age, education level, total income, travel behavior of tourists such as past experience, time taken to choose a destination, length of stay, distance of travel also should be considered in this aspect. The main objective of promoting tourism was to enhance economic activities, employment generation and community development.
