After warm receiving and greeting by our representative transfer to hotel for check-in. Delhi a bustling metropolis, and the capital city of India, successfully combines in its folds the ancient times with modern times. In fact, more mythological cities are believed to be here, like the city of Indraprastha from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, founded around 5000 BC. Numerous monuments were built over several centuries by different rulers like Qutub-ud- din Aibek, Alauddin Khilji, Tughlaks, Humayun & Shah Jahan, who built the Walled City Shah Jahanabad. Later in first half of 20th century much of New Delhi was planned by Sir Edwin Lutyens, who laid out a grandiose central administrative area as a testament to British rule in India. The division in walled city & New Delhi also marks the division in life styles. Rest of the day at leisure or walk around the city by your own. Over Night stay at hotel. Day 02: Delhi After Breakfast, we will visit the city. Visit “Old Delhi” with its narrow dirt roads, its myriad people and inexpensive and colorful bazaars that keep alive the traditional workmanship for which Delhi has always been famous. The first stop is Raj Ghat, the cremation ground of Mahatma Gandhi), The “Father of the nation”. Drive past the Red Fort, the red sandstone walled fort made in Mughal era by Emperor Shah Jahan.

  • Third International Workshop on Sustainable Land Use Planning 2000
    Landscape Research Record No. 6 GHATS ON THE GANGA IN VARANASI, INDIA: A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO HERITAGE CONSERVATION SINHA, AMITA University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT At Varanasi in India, where the Ganga reverses its flow, the 84 ghats (steps and landings) in a 6.8 km stretch are an iconic image of the city. Their built fabric evolved over 800 years from self- organized systems of worship and pilgrimage. The cultural landscape is complex in its layering and detail, and was resilient in its recovery from natural disasters as well as cultural upheavals. This can be interpreted as constituted by situated events, natural--flooding, silting, and changing flow of the Ganga--and cultural--ritual activities and performances in diurnal and seasonal rhythms tied to the Ganga. The riverfront is a complex ecosystem evolving from spatial practices responding to natural phenomena and its cycles that reflect the Hindu understanding of cosmic order. The ecosystem is stressed by over use and unprecedented levels of pollution in the Ganga, posing a challenge to the idea of the river as an archetypal symbol of purity and to the continuity of spatial practices. For sustainable conservation of the ghats, design and management strategies that will ensure a healthy and resilient cultural landscape should be based upon a systems approach. Patrick Geddes’ town planning reports in early twentieth century India are a useful precedent in connecting traditional cultural practices with ecological planning. In the proposed framework, the symbolic meanings of nature in traditional beliefs and practices are augmented with utilitarian functions in local energy cycles linking sun, flora, and fauna that will address air and water pollution and increase the capacity of the landscape to recover from flood events.

  • Walking the Faithscapes of Varanasi, India Pilgrimage of the Panchkroshi Yatra
    WALKING THE FAITHSCAPES OF VARANASI, INDIA PILGRIMAGE OF THE PANCHKROSHI YATRA BY SALONI CHAWLA THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Advisers: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Dr. Aneesha Dharwadker Assistant Professor Jessica Birkenholtz ABSTRACT Sacred landscapes in India play a pivotal role in the celebration of religious traditions and the mythological stories associated with them. A pilgrimage is an act of journeying to the sacred landscapes primarily for religious reasons and spiritual benefits but is not limited to them. Pilgrimages have various types of paths like circular, linear, spiral, converging at a central point, etc. Circular pilgrimage like the Panchkroshi in Varanasi, India, ends at the same point it started, thus forming an endless loop. The Panchkroshi Pilgrimage is about circumambulating around the holy territory, along a 25-mile long route, protected by 108 shrines of Hindu gods and goddesses. There are a number of goals identified for performing a pilgrimage, with the most important being the attainment of divine salvation. The act of achieving these goals is to walk through the sacred landscapes of the pilgrimage. However, with rapid urbanization and lack of preservation, these heritage landscapes have suffered degradation. The pilgrimage path has become fragmented, breaking the continuity and flow of movement. The pilgrimage route has become a palimpsest of urban residential, commercial zones, state and national highways with no designated pathway for pilgrims to walk on. My master’s in landscape architecture has contributed immensely towards the sensitivity I feel for the environment.
