51 52 Umabhallav babu collected the following list of names in his note book. 53 54 55 Following are some pictures from the rally and kirtan. 56 57 After the event we circulated the following press release: Efforts by leaders of various socio-cultural organizations of Puri towards the establishment of a Central University in Puri Intellectuals and leaders of various socio-cultural organizations of Puri have joined together to pursue a Central University in Puri along the lines of BHU (Banaras Hindu University) and many of them hope that this university will be called Puri Hindu University. After a preliminary meeting in Bhubaneswar on December 27th, a larger stakeholders meeting was held in Puri on January 2nd at the book fair grounds near Sri Gundicha temple. Senior advocate of Odisha high court Shri Umaballav Mohapatra was unanimously chosen as the leader to co-ordinate this movement. This was followed by a rally with sankirtan from Singha Dwara to the District Magistrate’s office on January 3rd. A letter addressed to the Honorable prime minister was handed to the officer in charge. The letter was signed by President (or Secretary) of various organizations of Puri such as Puri Vikas Parisad, Odisha Juba chetana sanghathan, Bodhichakra Puri, Sri Jagannath Sanskruti Jagaran Parishad, Puri Bar association, Team Barefoot and Sri Jagannath chetana pratisthana. 58 Other signatories include the President of the Odisha Society of the Americas, Editor of Priyapatra (Puri), a spokesperson of Gobardhan Pitha, President and Secretary of Shrikshetra pustaka mela committee, and a Srimandira Purohit. The letter elaborated on the various special aspects of Puri, such as, it being one of the four dhams revered by people of the country, it being the abode of Lord Jagannath, and it being a place where many sages (such as Adi Shankaracharya, Narahari Tirtha, Nimbarka Acharya, Jayadeva, Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and Vishnuswami, Madhvacharya) visited and left their imprint. The letter quoted a 2007 PIB that mentioned Raja Jai Singh saying (about Puri in 1580), “The pious land of Lord Jagannath, Orissa is not a land to be conquered but to be worshipped because it is above the aspirations of human being it is the land of Gods”. The letter elaborated on how Lord Jagannath and his philosophy have left deep imprint on other cultures of the world, including Jagannath temples and ratha yatra being held across the world. It talked about Puri as a center of knowledge formation, agglomeration and dissemination from its ancient days and mentioned about the records of 752 mathas (monasteries), and many Kotas, Jagas, Akhadas and ashrams (hermitages) in Puri. The letter talked about Puri’s major contributions in the field of art (various forms: dance, music, painting, sculpture making etc.), architecture, literature, science (especially, astronomy), religion and tradition. In particular, it talked about Puri’s ties with the origin of Odissi music, Odissi dance, Kalinga sculpture forms, Kalinga architecture, contribution of Samanta Chandrasekhar to astronomy, the UNESCO world heritage site of Konark, composition of Gita Gobinda by Sri Jayadev, Pancha sakha and Satyabadi bana vidyalaya, maritime activities of Manikpatna, Jayee Rajaguru’s role in the freedom struggle and recent books on Vedic knowledge. The letter ended with the following prayer: “In conclusion, Puri has been and is a special and revered place in India with global recognition. It continues to be a knowledge center of classical art, culture, language (Sanskrit) and Vedic knowledge. Considering the importance of cross-pollination of these Indian knowledge forms with modern knowledge and its impact on `Brand India’ and `Make in India’, it is imperative that a Central University along the lines of BHU be urgently established in Puri. It is our humble prayer to the honorable Prime Minister that the upcoming central budget in February 2016 should initiate its establishment.” Various news papers published about this event. Following is a sample. 59 60 61 4.9 Rally on the eve of PM’s visit to Puri – 6th February 2016 After coming to know about the PM’s visit to Puri, on the eve of the visit, a rally was organized and led by hotelier Bibhu Tripathy.

In this event pledges were collected. 73 Following are some of the pledges that were signed in this event. 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 4.11 Meeting in Puri 7th July 2017 After an hiatus of several moths a discussion between noted author Dr. Rajendra Das, Chitta Baral, Rashmi Mohapatra and Prof. Kailash Chandra Tikayatray led to a meeting at the place of Prof. Tikayatray. Following is a summary of that meeting and some of the discussions that happened there. 89 90 This movement will continue until a BHU central university is established in Puri. 91 5. Frequently asked questions 5.1 Why? Why in Puri: Puri, the abode of Lord Jagannath, is a special place in India and has a history of being a center of knowledge. (See Section 3 for details.) As a center of knowledge, Puri has fallen behind Varanasi (which has BHU, a central university, an IIT and much more) and Tirupati (which has an IIT, an IISER and much more). No one can deny a genuine demand for a knowledge institution to be located at Puri, the abode of Lord Jagannath. (Our demand can be made part of a more national demand: BHU type central university in the 4 dhams of Hinduism.) Why BHU type Central University: BHU with a student body of 20,000 has a wide array of disciplines such as various languages, social sciences, philosophy, mathematics, sciences, law, medicine, engineering (IT-BHU became an IIT), education, commerce, visual arts, performing arts, Sanskrit, agriculture, and management. Such a university does not exist in Odisha. Relevance to the region and Odisha: Greater capital area of Odisha has all the other higher education components. Only missing component is a central university. 5.2 But Odisha has been given a central university in Koraput! Since 2009, when CUO Koraput was established, Bihar has been given six centrally funded universities in Gaya, Motihari, Nalanda, Kishanganj, Pusa and Vikramshila. 1. http://cusb.ac.in/ at Gaya 2. http://www.mgcub.ac.in/ at Motihari 3. http://www.nalandauniv.edu.in/ at Nalanda 4. https://www.amu.ac.in/kishanganj/ at Kishanganj 5. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1160115/jsp/bihar/story_63905.jsp#.V2P_CeYrJE5 at Vikramshila 6. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/parliament-passes-bill-to-upgrade-rau-into- central-varsity/1/665943.html at Pusa. 5.3 How do we go about it? A Key idea: For the establishment of BHU (established 101 years ago in 1916), Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya went around the country collecting funds. Lets approach everyone (the government, the media, the people), asking them for a monetary pledge (no cash) to contribute towards the funding of a central university in Puri. That way everyone will consider this demand to be a serious one. 92 Appendix 1 – Programs at BHU (Banaras Hindu University) 93 94 95 .

    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 2 | Issue 10 | March 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Temples of Odisha- the Geometry of Plan Form Rinku Parashar Dr Abir Bandyopadhyay Assistant Professor Professor & Head Department of Architecture Engineering Department of Architecture Engineering NIT, Raipur, 492010, India NIT, Raipur, 492010, India Abstract The Indian temple architecture depicts clearly their evolution, following the original ancient models, which were derived from religious consideration and this practice is further being followed, since many centuries. These temples are actually, the place of transcendence where man crosses over from world of illusion, to the world of truth. The main style of Hindu temple architecture in India had its modest beginning precisely from the Mauryan rule i.e 3rd century BC. The Indian Silpasastras recognize mainly three categories of the temple style, the Nagara, Dravida and Vesara, but there was also another style very prominent, known as the Kalinga style, which is very distinguished all over the world for their unique characteristics, that existed between 6th century A.D to 16th century A.D in Odisha. The aim of the paper is to describe the Kalinga style of architecture and the basic characteristics of the temples of this style, eventually concluding with interpretation of the plan forms of the temples, to be following a scientific and methodical path of evolution. Keywords: Evolution of Temple, Hindu temple, Kalinga architecture, Odishan style, plan from _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION The temple forms the focal point for all aspects of life in the Hindu community - religious, cultural, educational and social (Batchelor, 1997).

    Konark Temple

    Konark Temple drishtiias.com/printpdf/konark-temple Why in News The 13th century Sun Temple at Konark (Odisha), the world heritage monument, has entered into controversy over allegations that the stone carvings on the outer surface are being replaced with plain blocks of stones causing irreplaceable loss to the uniqueness of the temple. It is alleged that the stones used in restoration do not match the quality of the original stone blocks, which are still available nearby. ASI has denied the allegations of replacement of artistic stone works at the world heritage monument. This issue highlights the need for preservation of cultural heritage. Konark Sun Temple, located in the East Odisha near the sacred city of Puri. Built in 13th century by King Narasimhadeva I (AD 1238-1264). Its scale, refinement and conception represent the strength and stability of the Ganga Empire as well as the value systems of the historic milieu. The temple is designed in the shape of a colossal chariot. It is dedicated to the sun 1/4 God. In this sense, it is directly and materially linked to Brahmanism and tantric belief systems. The Konark temple is widely known not only for its architectural grandeur but also for the intricacy and profusion of sculptural work. It marks the highest point of achievement of Kalinga architecture depicting the grace, the joy and the rhythm of life all its wondrous variety. It was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1984. There are two rows of 12 wheels on each side of the Konark sun temple. Some say the wheels represent the 24 hours in a day and others say the 12 months.

    Orrisa Temple Architecture (Lingraja & Konark)

    Orrisa Temple Architecture (Lingraja & Konark) Dr. Dilip Kumar Assistant Professor (Guest) Dept. of Ancient Indian History & Archaeology, Patna University, Patna Paper – III, B.A 2nd Year Bhubaneswar is also called the 'City of Temples'. It boasted of more than 7000 temples located around Bindusagar tank in the old city. Only 500 of those temples survive today some of which are really magnificent. Orissa formed a part of the Kalinga Kingdom. In 260 BC, Emperor Ashoka defeated the King of Kalinga. But soon the bloody battle filled Ashoka with remorse and he renounced war and violence forever. He embraced Buddhism and followed the path of peace, pity, compassion and non-violence. Soon after Ashoks's death Buddhism in Orissa declined and Jainism had the sway under the mighty arm of Kharvela until Buddhism again became a popular faith in 2nd century B. C. Under Kharvela Orissa attained new heights in art, culture trade and commerce. The coming of the Kesari and Ganga Kings marks the culmination of Orissa art and culture. These kings were very powerful and ambitious builders. They were followers of Shaiva and Vaishnava faith. The temples of Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark were constructed during their reign (712-1200 AD). In 1568 AD, the last Hindus ruler of Orissa was over-thrown by a Muslim general and finally Orissa was annexed by Akbar in 1592 AD. The bigoted Muslim invaders destroyed hundreds of Hindu and Jain temples. The location for the capital was selected because of its central location, high altitude, good communication, vast plateau like high uplands sloping to the sides, eco-friendly climate and above all deep-rooted historical significance with left out landmarks of architectures and sculptures.
