De Souza Ph. D Student, Department of History, Goa University ABSTRACT The craftsmen played an important role for the rulers and elites. They were involved in the minting of coins as well as during the time of making donations. They also produced items which were utilised by the elites as well as the common people. Besides this, they were also involved in various temple celebrations and activities. They also made various grants for the upkeep of the temples. This article attempts to study the contributions of the craftsmen in the political and religious domain. Keywords: Craftsmen, artisans, goldsmiths, inscriptions INTRODUCTION The craftsmen played an important role for the state and the elites. They were required at the time of donations and giving of gifts. They were also involved in donations to temples. V. R. Mitragotri has briefly mentioned about the craftsmen and their role in the society of Goa. G. M. Moraes has touched upon some aspects of guild activity. V. V. Mirashi, R. N. Gurav and S. L. Shantakumari have provided important details as well as inscriptions wherein the craftsmen and artisans have been mentioned. These inscriptions help gain an insight into the actions of the rulers and elites as well as the temples and how the craftsmen interacted to play a role in the political and religious sphere. Some of the inscriptions which show the role that the craftsmen played in the political and religious landscape will be seen.

Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Hyderabad your hotel by private car. Day 2 The city of Hyderabad was constructed in 1591 by King Hyderabad Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled this region of the Deccan plateau from 1507 to 1687. During this time, the Sultanate faced numerous incursions by the Mughals and the Hindu Marathas. In 1724, the Mughal governor of the Deccan arrived to govern the city. His official title was the Nizam- ul-Muluk, or Administrator of the Realm. After the death of Emperor Aurangzeb, he declared his independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were known for their tremendous wealth, which came from precious gems mined in nearby Golconda (see Day 3), the area's natural resources, a vibrant pearl trade, agricultural taxes and friendly cooperation with the British. Much of the architecture still existing in Hyderabad thus dates from the reigns of the Qutb Shahi Sultans or the Nizams. European influences were introduced by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the center of old Hyderabad sits the Charminar, or "four towers," which dates to 1591 and is surrounded by a lively bazaar and numerous mosques and palaces. This morning we will enjoy a leisurely walk through the area. We will stop to admire the colorful tile mosaics found inside the Badshahi Ashurkhana. This Royal House of Mourning was built in 1595 as a congregation hall for Shia Muslims during Muharram.

    Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India

    ® Fruit, Vegetable and Cereal Science and Biotechnology ©2010 Global Science Books Pomegranate Culture in Deccan Plateau of India Ram Chandra* • Deodas Tarachand Meshram National Research Centre on Pomegranate, NH-9 By-pass Road, Shelgi, Solapur 413 006, Maharashtra, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in India, making up the majority of the southern part of the country, ranging in elevation from 100 m in the north to 1000 m in the south. The main pomegranate producing areas are distributed between 300 and 950 m above mean sea level in hot arid and semi-arid regions having tropical and subtropical climate. Interestingly, the major production of pomegranate in India is from Deccan Plateau, especially from Maharashtra followed by Karnataka. The agro-climatic condition of Deccan Plateau is congenial for staggering of pomegranate production throughout the year. Maharashtra contributes about 84% in area and 75% in production of pomegranate in Deccan Plateau. Mainly three flowering seasons viz. winter (January-February flowering), rainy season (June-July flowering) and autumn season (September-October flowering) are promoted for fruit production in this plateau. In the present paper, information pertaining to Deccan Plateau and its climatic and soil conditions and existing cultivation practices of pomegranate has been envisaged. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: climatic conditions of Deccan

  • Soil Properties Pattern in Saline Belt of Vidarbha Region in Maharashtra

    Soil Properties Pattern in Saline Belt of Vidarbha Region in Maharashtra

    SOIL PROPERTIES PATTERN IN SALINE BELT OF VIDARBHA REGION IN MAHARASHTRA 1A.K.GAIKWAD, 2V.R.GHANE, 3D.D.PARKHE, 4S.D.BHAGAT, 5 RAJENDRA PAWAR 1,2,3,4,5 MAHARASHTRA ENGINEERING RESEARCH INSTITUTE, NASHIK, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Soil Mechanics Division of Maharashtra Engineering Research Institute, Nashik, has been carrying out tests on soil samples from all over Maharashtra since 1959. Various tests are carried out on soil samples viz. Grain size / Mechanical Analysis, Liquid Limit & Plastic Limit, Shrinkage Limit, Specific Gravity, Compaction test, Shear test, Consolidation test, Swelling Pressure, Permeability test. These tests are carried out mainly to identify Density, Permeability, Compressibility and Shear strength of Soil, which are useful in design of earthen dams, Canal embankments, and lining etc. Huge data of these test results are generated in the process. The purpose of the study is to prepare long term integrated plan for Soil parameter and derive Soil properties pattern for Saline belt (Akola, Amravati, Buldhana and Washim district) in Vidarbha region in the Maharashtra State. Though soil being heterogeneous in nature and no two samples even from same location are same, it is felt that data presented will definitely provide preliminary guide for soil property values for users. Keywords - Soil Mechanics, Soil Properties, Classification of Soil, Type of Soil, Saline Belt of Vidarbha Region Soil Pattern, Soil Properties Pattern. I. INTRODUCTION Geographical Jurisdiction based on river basin boundaries and are mainly responsible for planning The Maharashtra Engineering Research Institute and development of new surface water schemes for (MERI) is established in the year 1959.

Schutz Edition Open Access Development Team Lindy Divarci, Samuel Gfrörer, Klaus Thoden, Malte Vogl The Edition Open Access (EOA) platform was founded to bring together publication ini­ tiatives seeking to disseminate the results of scholarly work in a format that combines tra­ ditional publications with the digital medium. It currently hosts the open­access publica­ tions of the “Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge” (MPRL) and “Edition Open Sources” (EOS). EOA is open to host other open access initia­ tives similar in conception and spirit, in accordance with the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the sciences and humanities, which was launched by the Max Planck Society in 2003. By combining the advantages of traditional publications and the digital medium, the platform offers a new way of publishing research and of studying historical topics or current issues in relation to primary materials that are otherwise not easily available. The volumes are available both as printed books and as online open access publications. They are directed at scholars and students of various disciplines, and at a broader public interested in how science shapes our world.
