  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • Restoration of the Traditional Small Water Bodies in Braj
    South Asian Journal of Tourism and Heritage (2010), Vol. 3, No. 2 Restoration of the Traditional Small Water Bodies in Braj A. SAHA*, M.L. KANSAL**, G.C. MISHRA*** and R.P. GUPTA**** * A. Saha, Research Scholar, W.R.D.&M., Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee -India ** M.L. Kansal, Professor, W.R.D.&M., Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee -India *** G.C. Mishra, Professor, W.R.D.&M., Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee -India *** R.P. Gupta, Professor, Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Roorkee - India ABSTRACT The Braj in India has a very old heritage of forests, hills and small water bodies. The water bodies known as kunds were important sources of fresh water in the area and used for various purposes but due to prolonged negligence and lack of maintenance, most of them have now become silted up. The kunds have been classified into three categories according to their present water level, siltation status, structures, etc. Poor category kunds should be taken immediate attention. The present study aims at understanding the reasons for deterioration of the kunds and making some technical suggestions for revival of these kunds. KEYWORDS : Braj, Kunds, Water bodies, Restoration Techniques. INTRODUCTION The Braj is a culturally vibrant region in India lying in close vicinity of Taj Mahal, Agra. It has no clearly defined political boundary but it is well known for its rich culture, festivity and an ancient heritage of forests, hills and man-made small water bodies. It is said that Lord Krishna (God in Hindu mythology) has spent his childhood and adolescence in Braj and therefore, it is an important place of Hindu pilgrimage.

  • Krishna Saves Vrindavan
    Krishna saves Vrindavan Krishna lifted Govardhan hill for seven days and seven nights, this is very very pleasing pastime to the residents of Vrindavan because this is one time, that they had opportunity to be with Krishna day and night, for seven days and seven nights. This is very rare. Normally, only for few hours, you get to be with Krishna and Krishna gets up and He is with his parents, Nanda, Yashoda and Rohini, only for few hours. He gets up, bathing, dressing and breakfast and He goes and then He is with the cowherd boys and the cows for few hours, then He kind of takes off. He goes to Radhakund to be with the Gopis. Is Radhakund here? Probably you noticed. No, Radhakund can’t be in the middle, that’s not Radhakund, there should be Mansi Ganga in the middle. Radhakund and Shyamkund are like eyes of the peacock, Govardhan hill is in the shape of a peacock and this Shyamkund and Radhakund are eyes of the peacock and there is also tongue, Goswamis (continuous sounds of peacocks in the background, Maharaj says ok, bas-bas). (laughter) Too many peacocks. They did not want to use, the Goswamis residing on the banks of Radhakund, Shyamkund they didn’t want to use the water of these kunds for washing their bodies or specially they had to go, they would go to take care of their bodies in the morning, so they didn’t want to carry that, so they had idea of digging well near Shyamkund and Radhakund and as they started digging, there was bleeding and then they realized that was the tongue of Giriraj, so the tongue and then eyes and as we start parikrama from Radhakund, Shyamkund, you begin to wonder where is Giriraj, you didn’t se him because the neck of the peacock, you know how it is goes than comes up again, it goes down and comes up again, so for miles you don’t see Giriraj, so he is underneath.
