  • State of Conservation of World Heritage Properties
    STATE OF CONSERVATION OF WORLD HERITAGE PROPERTIES Name of World Heritage property: Hill Forts of Rajasthan State Party: India Identification number: 247rev Date of Inscription: 2013 Criteria: (ii) (iii) Introduction Within the State of Rajasthan, six extensive and majestic forts together reflect the elaborate, fortified seats of power of Rajput princely states that flourished between the 8th and 18th centuries. The extensive fortifications, up to 20 kilometres in circumference, optimized various kinds of terrain, hilly at Chittuargarh, Kumbhalgarh and Amer, riverside at Gagron, the dense forests at Ranthambore, and the desert at Jaisalmer, exhibit an important phase in the development of an architectural typology based on established “traditional Indian principles of fortifications”. The vocabulary of architectural forms shares much common ground with other greater styles, such as Sultanate and Mughal forts. Rajput style was not ‘unique’, but the particular manner in which Rajput architecture was eclectic (drawing inspiration from antecedents and neighbours) together with its degree of influence over later regional styles (such as Maratha architecture) do make it distinctive. As a former capital of the Sisodia clan and the target of three famous historical sieges, Chittorgarh is strongly associated with Rajput history and folklore. Furthermore the sheer number and variety of architectural remains dating from the 8th to the 16th centuries, mark it as an exceptional fort in its scale and monumentality comparable to very few other Indian forts. Kumbhalgarh was constructed in a single process and (apart from the palace of Fateh Singh, added later) retains its architectural coherence. Its design is attributed to an architect known by name –Mandan – who was also an author and theorist at the court of Rana Kumbha in Chittorgarh.

  • Rajputana Heritage
    EXPLORE Masterpieces of Rajputana heritage The majestic hill forts of Rajasthan stand high in all their grandeur text | Supriya Aggarwal INDIA PERSPECTIVES n 60 n SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2015 he land of kings, the state of Rajasthan, was earlier known as Rajputana. It was divided into various regions, each ruled Tby a different clan. Over the years, these clans built historical monuments, especially forts on hills which shaped the rich cultural heritage of the state. Constructed between the 5th and 18th centuries, these hill forts are longstanding masterpieces of Rajputana heritage. At the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Cambodia, six forts of Rajasthan were declared UNESCO World Heritage sites under the group, Hill Forts of Rajasthan. Chittorgarh Fort, Chittorgarh Built by the Mauryan rulers in the 7th century, it has been named after the Mauryan ruler, Chitrangada Mori and was later ruled by the Sisodia clan. The courtyard’s history is studded with a series of palaces, gates, temples and two commemoration towers. Apart from these two, the sprawling fort has four palace complexes, 19 temples, four memorials and 20 water bodies. Constructed in two phases, the first hill fort with one main entrance was established in the 5th century and successively fortified until the 12th century. Its remains are mostly visible on the western edges of the plateau. The second structure was constructed in the 15th century during the reign of the Sisodia clan when the royal entrance was relocated and fortified with seven gates. The Kumbha Shyam Temple, Mira Bai Temple, Adi Varah Temple, Shringar Chauri Temple and Vijay Stambh were constructed in this phase that illustrate pure Rajputana style of architecture.

  • An Overview of Yellow Limestone Deposits of the Jaisalmer Basin, Rajasthan, India
    VOLUMINA JURASSICA, 2015, XIII (1): 107–112 An overview of Yellow Limestone deposits of the Jaisalmer Basin, Rajasthan, India Neeraj SRIVASTAVE 1, Tribhuvan Singh RANAWAT 2 GEOLOGY OF AREA The Mesozoic rocks are well exposed in the Jaisalmer Basin of Rajasthan. Of these deposits, the Lathi, Jaisalmer, Bai- sakhi, Bhadasar formations belong to the Jurassic age. The “Yellow Limestone” is mainly confined to the Jaisalmer Forma- tion. The Yellow Limestone occurring around the city of Jaisalmer, and around the towns of Bada Bag, Moolsagar, Kanod, Amarsagar, Chundi, Bhagata, Manria, etc. is widespread, occurring over an area of more than 5.4 million sq. meters. It con- tains 42 to 51% calcium oxide and has a maximum thickness of about 3 m. The strike of beds in general is N15°E and with a dip at an angle of 4 to 5° to the northwest and at some places it shows a quaquaversal dip. The total estimated resource of Yellow Limestone is about 8.2 million tons. The Yellow Limestone is massive and partly crystalline and traversed by pink coloured bands in some places. Fossiliferous bands are also very common. Under the microscope it shows the presence of subrounded quartz grains in the calcareous groundmass (Dashora, Bhargava, 1971; Agarwal et al., 1988). The mining of the Yellow Limestone has continued for the last several decades. It is quarried in blocks of 50 to 60 cm in length, 30 to 40 cm in width and about 30 cm in thickness. It is sawn into tiles and used as yellow marble after polishing.
