    Treasures and Traditions of South India February 18- March 1, 2008 DETAILED ITINERARY (subject to amendment) Monday, February 18, 2008 The group departs New York on a flight to Chennai. (Meals aloft) Tuesday, February 19, 2008 Late this evening, we arrive at Chennai Airport. Upon arrival, we check-in at the Taj Connemara Hotel. Taj Connemara (meals aloft) Wednesday, February 20, 2008 The morning is at leisure. This afternoon, we enjoy a city tour by motorcoach, including a visit to the renowned Government Museum of Chennai. The Government Museum displays the largest and most spectacular collection of bronzes in India. Of particular note are the various Nataraja, or Dancing Shiva, created centuries apart and displaying the artistic styles of each period. This evening, we are treated to a welcome dinner under the stars featuring live music and dancers and fine South Indian cuisine. Taj Connemara (B, D) Thursday, February 21, 2008 At Mahabalipuram, a 7th century Pallava trading port and UNESCO World Heritage Site, we examine the sublime rock-cut temples of Mahabalipuram and the spectacular shore temple, a spectacular two-spired shrine, unique in that it houses both Vishnu and Shiva in its sanctum. We enjoy a delightful al fresco lunch on the Bay of Bengal, serenaded by the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. Next, we learn about the architecture and crafts tradition of the four states of South India at Dakshinachitra. Using actual buildings transported and reconstructed from each state, Dakshinachitra gives visitors rare insight into how each state’s architecture varies based on environmental and economic factors, as well as how crafts are produced for the home.

  • Geopolitical Tamil Nadu
    Geopolitical Tamil Nadu Courtesy : Sree Chidambaram.I Introduction Tamil Nadu, the southern‐most State of India, nestles in the Indian peninsula between the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Indian Ocean in the south and the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea on the west. In the north and west, the State adjoins Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Tamil Nadu shows rich variety and diversity in its geography and climate with coastal plains co‐existing with tropical rain forests, river valleys and hill stations. The main river is the 760 km long Cauvery, which flows along the entire breadth of Tamil Nadu. Other major rivers are the Palar, Pennar, Vaigai and Tamiraparani. History Tamil Nadu has a very ancient history which goes back some 6000 years. The State represents Dravidian culture in India which preceded Aryan culture in the country by almost a thousand years. Historians have held that the architects of the Indus Valley Civilization of the fourth century BC were Dravidians and that at a time, anterior to the Aryans, they were spread all over India. With the coming of the Aryans into North India, the Dravidians appear to have been pushed into the south, where they remained confined to Tamil Nadu, with the other southern States such as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala forming repositories of Dravidian culture. The Tamil country was not subjugated by any external power over any long period of time or over large areas, and was not subjected to the hegemony of Hindu or Muslim kingdoms of North India. The rise of Muslim power in India in the 14thcentury AD had its impact on the South, however, by and large the region remained unaffected by the political upheavals in North and Central India.

  • Trading on Culture: Planning the 21St Century City
    Trading on Culture: Planning the 21st Century City Industrial Relocation Leads to Artistic Appreciation When the future is in doubt, look to your heritage. A new UN-HABITAT publication, The State of the World’s Cities Report, 2004, illustrates the growing trend of refurbishing and re-branding cities as cultural havens - a creative attempt by many local governments to revitalize economies in need of urban renewal mechanisms. As more and more cities seek to sustain themselves in the wake of the industrial flight that often accompanies globalization, many are being recreated as “cities of culture.” Whether or not a city has a cultural heritage to draw upon, or merely a survivalist’s need to succeed, banking on the financial draws of culture – be it artistic, historic, athletic or religious - has proved to be a blessing for many urban officials and planners. However, as with the many endeavours that globalization engenders, this new exercise in artistic appreciation has forced many of the urban poor and middle-class into an exodus out of the cities that no longer seem to appreciate them. Current trends in many parts of the world suggest that culture will play an increasingly important role in the future of cities. The culturally driven redevelopment of inner-city areas has included the preservation of historic buildings as well as revival of traditional crafts for enhancing the global tourism potential of cities; and gentrification of inner-city residential areas. Gentrification has transformed the older sections of many cities into some of the most sought-after real estate. These restored buildings may now glisten in all their historical splendor, but they are no longer home to the people who, historically, used to live in them.
