  • Raja Harishchandra Is a Most Thrilling Story from Indian Mythology. Harishchandra Was a Great King of India, Who Flourished Several Centuries Before the Christian Era
    Notes The Times of India gave pre-screening publicity as follows: 'Raja Harishchandra is a most thrilling story from Indian mythology. Harishchandra was a great king of India, who flourished several centuries before the Christian era. He (sic) and his wife's names were household words in every Indian home for their truthfulness and chastity respectively. Their son Rohidas was a marvellous type of noble manhood. What Job was in Christian (sic) Bible, so Harischandra was in the Indian mythology. The patience of this king was tried so much that he was reduced to utter poverty and he had to pass his days in jungles in the company of cruel beasts. The same fate overcame his faithful wife and the dutiful son. But truth tri- umphed at last and they came out successfully through the ordeal. Several Indian scenes as depicted in this film are sim- ply marvellous. It is really a pleasure to see this piece of Indian workmanship'. The Bombay Chronicle, while reviewing Raja Harishchandra in its issue of Monday, 5th May 1913 said, 'An interesting de- parture is made this week by the management of Coronation Cinematographer. The first great Indian dramatic film on the lines of the great epics of the western world ... it is curious that the first experiment in this direction was so long in com- ing (sic) ... all the stories of Indian mythology era will long make their appearance ... followed by representations of modern dramas and comedies, another field which opens up vast possibilities ... it is to Mr Phalke that Bombay owes this ..

Author: Jha, Murari Kumar Title: The political economy of the Ganga River : highway of state formation in Mughal India, c.1600-1800 Issue Date: 2013-06-04 Chapter 1 Ganga-myth: The River in the Making of an Imagined Community Gange cha Yamune chaiva Godavari Sarasvati Narmade Sindhu Kaveri jale asmin sannidhim kuru.1 When a Hindu takes Ganges water and Toolsee in his hand he will sacrifice his life.2 Introduction The Ganga is one of the most celebrated rivers in the world. It is not only a river; it is an emblem of “civilization.” In terms of its capacity to nurture material well-being of society over thousands of years, it is equal to or even surpasses the Nile, Euphrates, Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. Many civilizations have taken root along the banks of these great rivers, which continue to sustain them.3 Few would argue that these rivers bring us very close to the source of the historical processes that have given rise to and nurtured civilizations. Indeed, these rivers are visible relics of the past no less than ancient monuments or ageless trade routes. Study of these rivers helps us gauge some of the structural continuities of the economy, society and geo-politics over the longue durée. Yet as they change their course across the landscape, these rivers influence the trajectory of history too. Thus the Ganga embodies characteristics of both continuity and change. Generally it is assumed that from time immemorial the Ganga has displayed an extraordinary capacity to sustain human life, define social organization and facilitate state formation.

  • Evolving Cultural Values and Its Manifestation in Visual Arts
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 Evolving Cultural Values And Its Manifestation In Visual Arts Dr. Manavpreet Kaur Arora* School of Humanities, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, India, [email protected] Dr. Pavitar Parkash Singh, Professor, Mittal School of Business, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara Dr. Manish Gupta, Additional registrar, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara Abstract: The potpourri of Indian culture is deciphered by identifying certain popular visual elements that are a part of our everyday experiences. These elements define our perception and comprehension of that which is ubiquitously Indian. There is an assortment of factors that influences their evolution whilst preserving their indigenous essence. Changing visual technology is one such prominent factor that has defined and redefined cultural value systems in India. This paper essentially deals with how certain cultural ideas in India have been visually transformed through influence of global interventions, while retaining their core essence with change in technology. Phenomenological analysis based on the Gestalt theory of perception has been adopted to decipher the meaning of visuals. Random sampling of popular contemporary visuals which exuberate cultural values or practices have been compared with images from past that are engraved in the collective memory of people. This paper is an attempt to introduce a methodology on how the chosen historical segregations of visuals can be compared to contemporary visual art forms; and interpretations can be done for further investigation of meanings in art, culture and society for future generations of artists, academicians &practitioners. Keywords: Visual culture, Visual technology, Meditation, Heritage, Religion Introduction The formation of visual memory happens through regular visual encounters, which leads to our comprehension of culture.
