Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahme
Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahmedabad The birth of Krishna is in itself a transcendental phenomenon that generates awe among the Hindusand overwhelms one and all with its supra mundane happenings.Mother Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and rulers,appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu,who assured him that he would soon be born on earth to annihilate tyrannical forces.One such evil force was Kansa, the ruler of Mathura (in northern India)and his people were utterly terrified of him.On the day Kansa's sister Devaki was married off to Vasudeva,an akashvani orvoice from the sky was heard prophesying that Devaki's 8th sonwould be the destroyer of Kansa. The frightened Kansa immediately unsheathed his sword to kill his sister but Vasudeva intervened and implored Kansa to spare his bride, and promised to hand over every new born child to him.Kansa relented but imprisoned both Devaki and her husband Vasudeva.When Devaki gave birth to her first child, Kansa came to the prison cell and slaughtered the newborn.In this way, he killed the first six sons of Devaki. Even before her 8th child was born, Devaki and Vasudeva started lamenting its fate andtheirs. Then suddenly Lord Vishnu appeared before them and said he himself was coming to rescue them and the people of Mathura. He asked Vasudeva to carry him to the house of his friend, the cowherd chief Nanda in Gokula right after his birth, where Nanda's wife Yashoda had given birth to a daughter.He was to exchange his boy and bring Yashoda's baby daughter back to the prison.Vishnu assured them that "nothing shall bar your path".At midnight on ashtami, the divine baby was born in Kansa's prison.Remembering the divine instructions, Vasudeva clasped the child to his bosom and started for Gokula,but found that his legs were in chains. -
Making Attributes in the Streets of Indian Religious Cities
International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology (IJCIET) Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2018, pp. 1548–1557, Article ID: IJCIET_09_11_150 Available online at http://iaeme.com/Home/issue/IJCIET?Volume=9&Issue=11 ISSN Print: 0976-6308 and ISSN Online: 0976-6316 © IAEME PublicationScopus Indexed PLACE- MAKING ATTRIBUTES IN THE STREETS OF INDIAN RELIGIOUS CITIES Meeta Tandon Associate Professor Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Integral University, Lucknow, India Vandana Sehgal Professor, Faculty of Architecture, Dr.A.P.J.AbdulKalam Technical University, Lucknow, India ABSTRACT The research paper aims to analyse the perception of people about the components of sense of place in Indian streets leading to the temple complex in religious cities of Mathura and Vrindavan, both being important places for devotees of Lord Krishna. The traditional streets on which the temples are located have a distinct character and there seems to be a strong sense of attachment to the place amongst the pilgrims and the residents alike. A contemporary street may not have a similar character but might be more functional. The study of both the traditional (Mathura) and newer contemporary street (Vrindavan) can help us to arrive at strategies and learning from both to strengthen and enhance sense of place. To achieve at the objectives of research, a face to face structured questionnaire survey was conducted. The results indicate that the contemporary streets have scored high not only in the physical and functional components but also in socio-cultural and perceptual components as compared to traditional streets implying that the streets are more than just a transit to the temple. -
On the Saurashtra Coast, West Coast of India
Small Protohistoric Sites (Fishing Villages?) on the Saurashtra Coast, West Coast of India A.S. Gaur1 and Sundaresh1 1. CSIR‐National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 19 September 2013; Accepted: 29 September 2013; Revised: 15 October 2013 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 1 (2013): 104‐117 Abstract: During the maritime archaeological explorations a few sites of protohistoric in nature have been noticed along the Saurashtra coast. The trial excavations of a few sites namely Bet Dwarka and Bhokhira on the western Saurashtra coast yielded the remains of late Harappan phase and provide the insight into the settlement pattern of this period along the coast of Saurashtra. Majority of the sites are under cultivation thus original cultural deposition cannot be determined correctly, however, present deposit is between 20 and 75 cm. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dates from these sites provide a time bracket for the settlement between the 18th and the12th century BC. Other two sites namely Kanjetar and Kaj are situated on the mid‐Saurashtra coast were explored and the pottery assemblage is similar to those found at above mentioned site and also they have some close similarity with Pottery from Prabhasa Patana. Coastal exploration during the season of 2011‐12 near Madhopur yielded a small settlement with similar type pottery noticed at Antroli. Majority of the sites are situated very close to the coastal area and this provides us an opportunity to analyse the reason for settlements. Keywords: Protohistoric, Harappan, Pottery, Coastal Exploration, Excavation, Saurashtra Coast, Settlement Pattern Introduction Saurashtra coast on the western margin of India has been the favourable area for human settlement since the early stone‐age (Marathe 1981). -
