  • Shiva's Waterfront Temples
    Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Subhashini Kaligotla All rights reserved ABSTRACT Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla This dissertation examines Deccan India’s earliest surviving stone constructions, which were founded during the 6th through the 8th centuries and are known for their unparalleled formal eclecticism. Whereas past scholarship explains their heterogeneous formal character as an organic outcome of the Deccan’s “borderland” location between north India and south India, my study challenges the very conceptualization of the Deccan temple within a binary taxonomy that recognizes only northern and southern temple types. Rejecting the passivity implied by the borderland metaphor, I emphasize the role of human agents—particularly architects and makers—in establishing a dialectic between the north Indian and the south Indian architectural systems in the Deccan’s built worlds and built spaces. Secondly, by adopting the Deccan temple cluster as an analytical category in its own right, the present work contributes to the still developing field of landscape studies of the premodern Deccan. I read traditional art-historical evidence—the built environment, sculpture, and stone and copperplate inscriptions—alongside discursive treatments of landscape cultures and phenomenological and experiential perspectives. As a result, I am able to present hitherto unexamined aspects of the cluster’s spatial arrangement: the interrelationships between structures and the ways those relationships influence ritual and processional movements, as well as the symbolic, locative, and organizing role played by water bodies.

  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.

LEPAKSHI The Lord Veerabhadra Temple at Lepakshi, located 112 km from Anantapur is renowned as one of the 108 Shiva temples of India. It reflects classical Vijayanagara architecture. The dance hall or the Natya Mandapa is supported by 100 pillars, with finely sculpted figurines of dancing gods. From the middle of the hall emerges a dome, reminiscent of a giant lotus reaching out to heaven. VIZIANAGARAM FORT The Vizianagaram Fort is a spacious and sprawling campus with a cluster of stone buildings. The fort is a generous contribution of the surviving Rajus and many of the buildings within it have been converted into educational institutions. Inside is the Rani’s Mahal, a structure shaped like a hemisphere, with windows high enough to touch the ceiling. CHANDRAGIRI Chandragiri, situated on the banks of the Swarnamukhi River in Chittoor District, was the last capital of the Vijayanagar Empire. Situated atop a huge rock that rises 56 m tall, the fort is 12 km from the temple town of Tirupati. AP Tourism has a sound & light show at Chandragiri that captures the bygone glory of the Vijayanagar Empire. Gandikota Fort is situated on the banks of the Pennar River, located 77 km from GANDIKOTA Kadapa and 15 km from Jammalamadugu.

  • Amaravati- Restoring Glory in a Smart Way
    [ VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 2 I APRIL – JUNE 2018] E ISSN 2348 –1269, PRINT ISSN 2349-5138 Amaravati- Restoring Glory in a Smart Way P. Manasa Research Scholar, Centre for Indo-Pacific Studies, JNU, New Delhi, 110067. Received: April 07, 2018 Accepted: May 09, 2018 ABSTRACT Amaravati is the new capital of Andhra Pradesh state and is the fifth planned capital city in India. The need for a new capital came after the combined state got spilt into two Andhra Pradesh (smaller with 13 districts) and Telangana (10 districts) due to the three decade struggle by the people of Telangana in 2014. Though the existing capital Hyderabad will serve as capital for both states, chief minister Chandrababu Naidu took a decision to build a capital of their own. Thus the idea was conceived. This article focuses on the smart features Amaravati had adopted to create its mark as a city reborn to restore its old grandeur. The conclusion is even it’s a city from scratch by using the expertise of top countries like Singapore, Japan it started its journey to be a world class smart city. Keywords: Bifurcation,Amaravati, Site Selection Criteria, Smart city. Introduction: The Andhra Pradesh reorganisation act of 2014 divided the state into Telangana and residuary Andhra Pradesh and declared that Hyderabad would serve as common capital for a stipulated period of not more than ten years76. The act clearly spelled out the method of apportionment of assets and liabilities; former would depend on the geographic location and later on population ratio (58.32 per cent Andhra Pradesh and 41.68 per cent Telangana).
