It is a journey that brings them closer to their religion by enhancing their appreciation for its principles, beliefs and philosophies. Nepal is home to two of the most holy of places connected with Buddhism. These places are directly related with Lord Gautam Buddha. Lumbini, the first and most important of the two, is the birth place of Gautam Buddha while Kapilavastu is the place where he grew up, witnessed pain and sorrow of life and ultimately decided to give up everything in search of enlightenment. Hindu From ancient times, Nepal has been the place of origin for the Hindu religion and the holy place of Lord Pashupatinath. For centuries, mythology and mystique has swept the land and there are numerous temples, mosques and monasteries. Hindu pilgrimage tours or 'Tirtha Yatras' are considered an important way of attaining salvation. However, people of all faiths and religions have dreams of visiting these revered spots as a pilgrim to invoke the blessings of their Gods and obtain forgiveness for all their sins and escape the divine wrath. Hindu pilgrimage tour in Nepal Nepal is not only known for its natural beauty but also as a cultural melting pot where two of the oldest religions of the world co-exist in perfect harmony- Hinduism and Buddhism.

  • HISTORY ANCIENT PERIOD in the Epic Period, the Region Covered By
    HISTORY ANCIENT PERIOD In the epic period, the region covered by the present district of Gorakhpur, known as Karapatha, which formed part of the kingdom of Kosala, an important centre of Aryan culture and civilization. The renowned ascetic Gorakh Nath gave name and fame to this district by practicing austerities on the spot where the famous temple named after him stands. It appears that the earliest known monarch ruling over this region with his capital at Ayodhya, was Iksvaku, who founded the solar dynasty of Ksatriyas. It produced a number of illustrious kings till the accession of Ram, who was the greatest ruler of this dynasty. Ram had divided the kingdom, during his lifetime, into small principalities. He coronated his eldest son Kusa as the king of Kusavati present Kushinagar which lay in the Gorakhpur district till 1946. After Ram's renunciation of the world Kusa left Kusawati (Kushinagar) and repaired to Ayodhya. His cousin, Chandraketu, son of Lakshmana, even the epithet of malla (valiant) in the Ramayan, thereupon took possession of this region. The Mahabharata mentions that at the Rajasuya (imperial) sacrifice performed by Yudhisthira, a behest to conquer the east was given to Bhimasena who in turn subjugated the principality of Gopalak (identified with Gopalpur of Bansgaon tahsil). Close to Gopalpur at Bhimtola, Bhimasena is said to have reposed after his victory. The discovery of a series of enormous mounds at Gopalpur and around it suggests that the places has been old sites of extensive cities. A few development in the political history of the district during the post- Mahabharata period is the functioning of a number of republics under the sovereignty of the kingdom of Kosala.

  • The Tradition of Buddhist Narrative Illustration in the Swat Valley Muhammad Sher Ali Khan
    The Tradition of Buddhist Narrative Illustration in the Swat Valley Muhammad Sher Ali Khan Abstract: The Swat valley has an important role in the development of Buddhist art. The religious imageries and biographical scenes of the Buddha were carved in stone that embellished the sacred buildings and were replicated as a standard schema of architectural decoration. With its turbulent political and social history, the region was not only graced with several religious constructions all over the valley but also expanded biographical story of the Buddha almost to length of its completion by introducing fresh scenes during their respective turns of each ethnic and political group. The material excavated by archaeologists records the political, social and religious history. Based on these cultural material and extensive studies, this paper investigates the evolution and development of narrative art in the Swat valley. The results show that biographical narrative illustrations extended through the ages help in understanding Buddhist iconography in cultural preferences and innovative approaches of visual story-telling. Keywords: Narrative art in Swat, evolution of Buddhist narrative art, visual biography of the Buddha Besides originator of anthropomorphic needs of a cosmopolitan society. In a turbulent images, the Swat valley is also credited to have history of the region, the assimilative ability of been illustrated a more detailed biography of the Buddhism was remarkable that not only accepted Buddha. However, the inception and evolvement and integrated new elements with full satisfaction of Buddhist narrative illustrations in Swat took into its artistic vocabulary but also maintained very several years to epitomize the Buddha’s life story, confidently the originality and true nature of this depicted almost to the length of its completeness.

  • Chapter - Ii Patterns of Visual Expressions: Spatial and Temporal Dimensions
    CHAPTER - II PATTERNS OF VISUAL EXPRESSIONS: SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DIMENSIONS. A broad survey of the diverse visual evidences in the different media for the time span ranging from the pre-historic visual evidences in the form of rock-art down to the historical period i.e. circa 600-700 AD has unveiled, a plethora of therianthropic forms, both in the lithic, terracotta, ivory, as well as the metallic medium. Predominantly, in stone and terracotta, their representations in the other media are however sporadic. Majority of these depictions are carved relief slabs with instances of sculptures in the round too coming to light as also a handful of painted depictions. The terracotta depictions range from hand -modelled figurines to moulded plaques. The present chapter seeks to enumerate and elaborate upon the distribution of the diverse therianthropic figures in the visual language across space and time with a view to highlighting upon their specific chronological and regional provenance's for the period between circa 700 BC to AD 600-700, primarily from a pan-Indian perspective. Accordingly, this broad time span is split into the following Phases: - Phase I (c. 700 BC - 324 BC) Phase II (c.321 - 184 BC) Phase III (circa Second to First centuries BC) Phase IV (circa First to Third centuries AD) Phase V (circa Fourth to Sixth centuries AD) While the broad regional zones encompass: - Northern India (Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi...) Central India (Madhya Pradesh) Eastern India (Bihar, West Bengal and Orissa) The Deccan (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andra Pradesh) Western India (Gujarat, Rajasthan) North West Frontier Region/Gandhara (Afghanistan, Pakistan) The present rather descriptive account concerned with the enumeration of the spatial and temporal patterning of the therianthropic data is unavoidable as, the 15 various arguments pertaining to the explanation of the ‘raison d'etre’ of the therianthropic form, in the visual language, mainly from an historical perspective, cannot be discussed in an empirical vacuum.
