  • Vitthal- Rukmini Temple at Deur, Satara
    Vaishnavism in South‐Western Maharashtra: Vitthal‐ Rukmini Temple at Deur, Satara Ganesh D. Bhongale1 1. Department of A.I.H.C. and Archaeology, Deccan College Postgraduate and Research Institute, Pune – 411 006, Maharashtra, India (Email: ganeshbhongale333@ gmail.com) Received: 29 August 2018; Revised: 03 October 2018; Accepted: 12 November 2018 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 6 (2018): 720‐738 Abstract: The present paper highlights a temple which is not discussed in the realm of the Vaishnavite tradition of Early Medieval South‐Western Maharashtra. If we delve further in the nature of Brahmanism during this period, Shaivism was in its fully developed form in that region as compared to rare occurrence of Viṣṇu temples. The temple discussed here stands on high platform pertaining exterior and interior plain walls and decorative pillars with diverse iconography. This temple is perhaps a rare example where the iconographic combination of Hayagriva and Surya is depicted, hinting at the possibility of prevalence of joint worship of Hayagriva and Surya. The prominent nature of Vaishnavite iconography suggests that this temple is associated with Viṣṇu. It is rare to find independent Viṣnụ temple during this period, hence this temple is probably the only temple of Visṇ ̣u in South‐Western Maharashtra. Keywords: Vaishnavism, Vitthal‐Rukmini Temple, Satara, Maharashtra, Surya, Hayagriva, Krishna Introduction The region of south‐western Maharashtra forms an important geographical entity of western Deccan. This region has witnessed a political presence of all important Early Medieval dynasties. Their presence can be testified through their written records and monumental activities. The period onwards, 10th century CE observed to be the period of large‐scale building activity of the temples in this region and elsewhere in Maharashtra.

  • CERTIFICATE It Is Hereby Declared That This Work Has Not Been Submitted for a Higher Degree to Any Other University Or Instituti
    CERTIFICATE It is hereby declared that this work has not been submitted for a higher degree to any other University or Institution. L. Peter Kollar. / **/ ' (* KEN5INGTDN £ V °o V * Li 8RARV SUMMARY This is a study of symbolism in traditional Hindu architecture. It is based upon the Shri Minakshi Sundareswar, The Great Temple at Madura, South India, visited by the author in i960. The formal arrangement of this temple is the pivot around -which the examination of the principles of architectural symbolism revolves. The general principles as well as the particular symbolic expressions are elucidated by constant reference to the sacred texts of the Hindu tradition. The key to all this is the Hindu doctrine itself, but no attempt could be made to expose its integrality on these pages. However, the introduction and the footnotes contain sufficient references and brief explanations to enable one to follow the theme without undue difficulty even if the subject were unfamiliar. The study develops the meaning of the architectural layout by approaching the temple from the outside and gradually progressing towards its core. During this passage the nature of symbolism is discovered in successively higher degrees until it becomes clear that the temple - in its detail as well as in its entirety - is a meta­ physical symbol and its construction a metaphysical rite. It expresses by means of silent architectural forms the selfsame doctrine which is recorded verbally in the sacred texts.

  • Seva Management Information System for Crm Implementation in Ttd
    IRJC International Journal of Social Science & Interdisciplinary Research Vol.1 Issue 8, August 2012, ISSN 2277 3630 SEVA MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR CRM IMPLEMENTATION IN TTD PROF.K V S N JAWAHAR BABU* *Principal, KMM Colleges, Ramireddipalle, Tirupati. AP, India. ABSTRACT The temple of Sri Venkateswara has acquired unique sanctity in Indian religious lore. The Sastras, Puranas, Sthala Mahatyams and Alwar hymns unequivocally declare that, in the Kali Yuga, one can attain mukti (salvation) only by worshipping Venkata Nayaka or Sri Venkateswara. In this paper an attempt for CRM implementation in TTD through Seva Mangemement Information System. TTD provides a wide range of facilities to make pilgrimage a unique spiritual experience. The target groups for Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams to provide facilities are devotees and donors. Unless their views and perceptions are obtained and analysed it is not possible to draw inferences about the facilities provided to them. In this direction, on the basis of the data obtained through the survey the satisfaction levels on facilities are presented. Seventy eight percent of devotees were satisfied with Darshanam facilities (Queue System, packaged food, toilets, cloak rooms, medical aid and overall management) provided inside the Vaikuntam Queue Complex (VQC), while waiting for Darshan. In spite of TTD efforts in streamlining the queue system, 26 percent of respondents had to wait for more than 4 Hours inside the Queue Complex for getting Darshanam. It is suggested to make efforts to reduce darshanam time to save the save the time of the pilgrims, which could inturn solve accommodation and facilities problems to significant extent. ______________________________________________________________________________ I.

  • Tirupati City with Many Slums ; an Ill Health Environment to the Piligirim Centre” in Martin J
    Krishnaiah, Dr. K. “Tirupati City With Many Slums ; An Ill Health Environment To The Piligirim Centre” in Martin J. Bunch, V. Madha Suresh and T. Vasantha Kumaran, eds., Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Environment and Health, Chennai, India, 15-17 December, 2003. Chennai: Department of Geography, University of Madras and Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University. Pages 226 – 232. TIRUPATI CITY WITH MANY SLUMS ; AN ILL HEALTH ENVIRONMENT TO THE PILIGIRIM CENTRE Dr. K. Krishnaiah Associate Professor, Department of Geography, S.V.University, Tirupati- 517 502 Abstract Industrialisation results in increasing urbanization. The accumulation of wealth and availability of more economic and job opportunities in the urban centres have resulted in the concentration of the population in the congested metropolitan areas and thus the formation and growth of big slum areas. These slum centres, when combined with industrial sectors, become more hazardous from the stand point of environmental degradation and pollution. If these slum centres are many, it is hazardous and causes ill health to the city like Tirupati, an important piligrim centre in the country. In the present study the emphasis was on the ratio of the total number of slums. 42 were identified in the small area 0.715 sq. km as per 2001 census in Tirupati. The author makes a caution that the higher the density of slums in the pilgrim centre, the more will be the ill health environment in terms of spread of diseases. Introduction The phenomenon of rapid urbanization in conjunction with industrialization has resulted in the growth of slums. The sprouting of slums occur due to many factors, such as the shortage of developed land for housing, the high prices of land beyond the reach of urban poor, and a large influx of rural migrants to the cities in search of jobs etc.

    Srirangam – Heaven on Earth A Guide to Heaven – The past and present of Srirangam Pradeep Chakravarthy 3/1/2010 For the Tag Heritage Lecture Series 1 ARCHIVAL PICTURES IN THE PRESENTATION © COLLEGE OF ARTS, OTHER IMAGES © THE AUTHOR 2 Narada! How can I speak of the greatness of Srirangam? Fourteen divine years are not enough for me to say and for you to listen Yama’s predicament is worse than mine! He has no kingdom to rule over! All mortals go to Srirangam and have their sins expiated And the devas? They too go to Srirangam to be born as mortals! Shiva to Narada in the Sriranga Mahatmaya Introduction Great civilizations have been created and sustained around river systems across the world. India is no exception and in the Tamil country amongst the most famous rivers, Kaveri (among the seven sacred rivers of India) has been the source of wealth for several dynasties that rose and fell along her banks. Affectionately called Ponni, alluding to Pon being gold, the Kaveri river flows in Tamil Nadu for approx. 445 Kilometers out of its 765 Kilometers. Ancient poets have extolled her beauty and compared her to a woman who wears many fine jewels. If these jewels are the prosperous settlements on her banks, the island of Srirangam 500 acres and 13 kilometers long and 7 kilometers at its widest must be her crest jewel. Everything about Srirangam is massive – it is at 156 acres (perimeter of 10,710 feet) the largest Hindu temple complex in worship after Angkor which is now a Buddhist temple.
