In a diverse country like India, it is worthwhile assessing the extent of tourism within each state through the compilation of State Tourism Satellite Account (TSA). The scope of State TSAs goes beyond that of a national TSA as it provides the direct and indirect contribution of tourism to the state GDP and employment using state-specific demand and supply-side data.

Mount Abu, Dilwara Temples: Vimala Vasahi
Mount Abu, Dilwara Temples: Vimala Vasahi Photographs from the American Institute of Indian Studies Produced by the Shraman Foundation About this book / virtual exhibition The group of Jain temples at Dilwara on Mount Abu, in southwestern Rajasthan, is celebrated for the astoundingly detailed marble sculpture that covers nearly every inch of the temples’ interiors. Using photographs in the collection of the American Institute of Indian Studies, this book [/ virtual exhibition] explores the oldest of these temples, the Vimala Vasahi. By tradition the temple was founded between 1031 and 1032 C.E., though most of the building we see today was constructed in the mid- twelfth century and repaired in the early fourteenth. Text by Katherine Kasdorf. Additional research by Andrew More. Photographs copyright of the American Institute of Indian Studies. © 2014 Shraman South Asian Museum and Learning Center Foundation Mount Abu, Dilwara Temple Complex, Vimala Vasahi Temple AIIS 030209 © American Institute of Indian Studies The subdued exterior of the Vimala Vasahi on Mount Abu starkly contrasts with the temple’s opulent interior. Here, tucked into the close space of the Dilwara temple compound, we catch a glimpse of the walls that surround the oldest temple of the group, built largely in the mid-twelfth century. Beneath the shallow domes seen in the middle of the photograph are the temple’s famous sculptural ceilings; each pinnacle seen along the peripheral wall marks the sacred space of a Jina enshrined within the courtyard’s subsidiary shrines. The stepped pyramidal towers of the temple’s enclosed hall and sanctum rise above the surrounding structures, marking the importance of the spaces below in the ritual hierarchy of the temple.

Jainism in Medieval India (1300-1800) Prologue
JAINISM IN MEDIEVAL INDIA (1300-1800) PROLOGUE - English Translation by S.M. Pahedia It is essential to weigh the contemporary social and political background while considering the conditions and thriving of Jainism in mediaeval India. During this period, Indian society was traditionally divided into Hindu and Jain religion. Buddhism had well-nigh disappeared from Indian scenario. The Indian socio-cultural infrastructure faced sufficient change owing to the influence of Islam that infiltrated into India through the medium of the Arab, the Turk, the Mughal and the Afghan attacks. Though the new entrants too were by and large divided into Sunni, Shiya and Sufi sects, they were all bound firmly to Islam. Ofcourse, Islam brought in new life-values and life-styles in Indian life owing to which the inevitability for reconsidering the shape of social structure and traditional-philosophico facets was felt, perhaps very badly. And this very condition caused rise of some new sects like Bhakti, Saint and Sikh invigorated primarily by the Vedantist, Ramanuja, Madhav, Nimbark, Ramanand Chaitanya, Vallabha etc. With this cultural background, centuries old Digambara and Shavetambara amnay (tradition) was telling its own separate tale. Fore more than one reason, these branches were further divided into sects, sub-sects, ganas , gachchas , anvayas , sanghas & C. as time rolled by. Same way, Bhattaraka, Chaityavasi, Taranpanth, Sthanakvasi practices came into view introducing their own religious formalities, life-fashions, code of conduct, and to some extent the philosophical views. Such being the condition, Jainism of medioeval India witnessed its wide extension. At the same time, it met with certain difficulty also.

Indian Archaeology 1987-88 a Review
INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1987-88 —A REVIEW EDITED BY M.C.JOSHI Director General Archaeological Survey of India PUBLISHED BY THE DIRECTOR GENERAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1993 Cover : TisseruStupa,Leh,Ladakh Cover layout & design: Raj Nath Kaw 1992 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Price :Rs. 250.00 PRINTED AT BENGAL OFFSET WORKS, 335, KHAJOOR ROAD, KAROL BAGH, NEW DELHI-1 10005. PHONE: 524200,7510455 PREFACE I am happy to place before the scholars the Indian Archaeology 1987-88—A Review not very long after the publication of the previous issue. We are making efforts to bring the publication of the Review up to date; this, however, would depend on timely submission of material by contributors. It has been our experience that, in many cases, several reminders have to be given for sending material to us for inclusion in the Review which results in delay of its publication. I am sure, with the cooperation of different institutions and the State Departments of Archaeology and Museums and my own colleagues in different Branches and Circles of the Survey it would be possible for us to maintain regularity of its publication. The present issue of the Review is more voluminous than the previous ones and thus reflects also increased activities in different fields of archaeology. Out of several excavations reported in this issue, I may mention the work at Banawali, Thanesar, Sanghol, Hampi, Sannathi, Daulatabad, Lalitagiri, Udaigiri, Fatehpur Sikri, Sravasti, Balikeshwar, Chandel, Harsud, etc. by the Survey, at Kuntasi jointly by the Deccan College, Pune, and the Gujarat State Department of Archaeology, at Mangalkot by the University of Calcutta, at Kotasur by the Visvabharati, Maihar by the Allahabad University, Ganeshwar by the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Rajasthan State and at Shikarpur by the Department of Archaeology, Government of Gujarat.
