A THESIS APPROVED FOR THE CHRISTOPHER C. GIBBS COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE BY THE COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF Callahan, Marjorie P., Chair Warnken, Charles G. Fithian, Lee A. ©Copyright by RAMYA PALANI 2019 All Rights Reserved. iv Abstract The Cholas (848 CE – 1279 CE) established an imperial line and united a large portion of what is now South India under their rule. The Cholas, known worldwide for their bronze sculptures, world heritage temples and land reforms, were also able builders. They followed a traditional systematic approach called Vaastu Sastra in building their cities, towns, and villages. In an attempt to discover and reconstruct Gangaikonda Cholapuram, an administrative capital (metropolis) of the Chola Dynasty, evidence is collected from the fragments of living inscriptions, epigraphs, archaeological excavation, secondary sources, and other sources pertinent to Vaastu Sastra. The research combines archival research methodology, archaeological documentation and informal architectural survey. The consolidation, analysis, and manipulation of data helps to uncover the urban infrastructure of Gangaikonda Cholapuram city.

  • Temples of Odisha- the Geometry of Plan Form
    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).

    The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO: 0886-9367 M.SATHYA Roll No.25599/Ph.D2 Ph.D. Research Scholar Department of History Govt. Arts College for Women(A), Pudukkottai & Dr.S.Neelavathi M.A.,M.Phil.Ph.D Assistant Professor, Department of History Govt. Arts College for Women(A), Pudukkottai ARCHAEOLOGICALLY EXCAVATED SITES IN TIRUCHIRAPPLLI Tiruchirappalli is reputed for the antiquity of its civilization and situated on the riverbanks of Cauvery. It has been the centre of many empires and battlefields, besides being an important strategic place. It is also chiefly attractive for its remarkable Rock and the group of temples clustered on and around it. Tiruchirappalli was a part of Uraiyur till the close of the 14th century and had no separate identity. In the writings of early Greek travelers, Uraiyur is figured frequently. The Anthor of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea mentioned Argaru (Uraiyur) as the centre of trade1. It is also referred as Koliyur in the Sangam literature2. „It would appear that, up to Viswanatha‟s reign Uraiyur was the capital of the country, and that the he found Tiruthirappalli at all events, fortified and greatly enlarged it.‟3 Antiquity of Tiruthirappalli To analyse the antiquity of Tiruthirappalli, one has to study thoroughly the geological factors which shaped the destiny of Tiruthirappalli. The present Volume XI, Issue IX, September/2019 Page No:3603 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO: 0886-9367 geographical features, perhaps may give some scope to the study of per-history. Though hereditary and environmental factors to a large extent shaped the life of the people in the per-historic and historic periods, it was not so in the geological age.

  • [23 July, 2014] 553 the Temples Declared As Heritage Sites Like
    Special [23 July, 2014] Mentions 553 The temples declared as Heritage Sites like Darasuram, Gangaikonda, Cholapuram, Pazhayarai etc. are also easily accessible from Kumbakonam. Kumbakonam is noted for fine arts like music, dance, folk arts, sculpture, etc. The silk fabrics, brass, silver and bronzewares, jewellery, etc. manufactured here find their way to all places in India and abroad. The idols, statues, etc. made of brass, bronze or panchaloka conceived and shaped in this area are not only installed in our temples and worshipped but also exported to many foreign countries. This city has been attracting many Indian and foreign tourists. In view of the above factors, I request the Union Government to declare the holy city of Kumbakonam as a very important tourist centre and to do the needful in propa- gating and publicizing this message in all the communications and publications of the Tourism Department. This is important in view of the forthcoming Mahamaham Festival in February-March, 2016. Demand for widening of certain stretches of National Highway No. 67 in Tamil Nadu and reconstructing a steel bridge on Highway at Kallar SHRI A. K. SELVARAJ (Tamil Nadu): The widening four lane from km 360/6- 380/0 of NGM road (NH-67) was previously under the control of NHAI. Last year this road was handed over to NH due to cancellation of Kangeyampalayam -- Mettupalayam (54 km) four lane work. Existing Coimbatore to Narasimanaickenpalayam stretch was already four laned. Balance stretch from Narasimanaickenpalayam to Mettupalayam is only two lane. Hence, traffic congestion occurs at this stretch. Hence, four laning of this stretch is necessary.
