  • Water Symbols and Architecture in Champaner-Pavagadh, Gujarat, India
    Water Symbols and Architecture in Champaner-Pavagadh, Gujarat, India Amita Sinha Professor of Landscape Architecture University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Summary The paper describes displacements of historic communities, abandonment of forts, and reclamation of sacred sites in the case study of the cultural landscape of Champaner-Pavagadh in Gujarat, India. The place dereliction resulted in a loss of traditional knowledge of water management, crucial to the survival of communities. Water symbols and architecture of its Hindu and Islamic building periods are interpreted to rediscover the lost ‘water-intelligence’. The paper argues that water is the unifying element in reading the bifurcated site—Hindu pilgrim site on Pavagadh Hill and Islamic Champaner city at its foot--and advocates conservation of historic waterworks so that they can be a frame for sensory experience of visitors. Case Study Champaner-Pavagadh, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gujarat, is an interesting and unusual case study in how religion, culture, terrain, and climate interact in creating water systems that sustained large communities for 800 years between the 8th and 16th centuries. Champaner was the capital of Gujarat and as such its rich architectural legacy forms an important chapter in the architectural and urban history of India. As the last of settlements at the site, with the previous ones on Pavagadh Hill, its extant fortifications and water management systems are a marvel of engineering of the medieval era. The first Hindu settlement on the hill dates back to 8th c. and by 1484 CE it had been captured by the Muslim Sultan Mehmud Beghada who built his new city Champaner at its foot.

    Rise and Glory History of Halari Visa Oshwals by Rati Dodhia Rise and Glory History of Halari Visa Oshwals By Rati Dodhia Halari Visa Oshwals of America © All the copyrights reserved by Rati Dodhia Published by Rati Dodhia, 2005 A.D. In memory of my parents and my wife Indu’s parents: Late Shri Lalji Khimji Shah and Shrimati Amratben Lalji Shah Late Shri Fulchand Karamshi Shah and Shrimati Deviben Fulchand Shah Who were part of the group of early pioneers who sacrificed so much for their families and the community. iv FOREWORD This book, “ History of Halari Visa Oshwals “ in English by Dr. Ratilal Dodhia, provides information about our origin, hardships our ancestors faced and how they overcame them, migration to various places, entrepreneurship and traditions. Many people have written about our origin, settlement in Halar and migration to East Africa, United Kingdom, United States of America and Canada, but this is the first comprehensive document in English. It is divided in four parts: Part I deals with the origin of Oshwals in Rajasthan, India; Part II deals with the migration of Oshwals in Cutchh; Part III deals with the migration of Oshwals from Cutchh to Halar region of Jamnagar District of State of Gujarat, India, and Part IV deals with rise and glory of Halari Oshwals since the beginning of 20th century. The Oshwal community was founded 70 years after Lord Mahavir’s nirvana (i.e. Vikram Savant 400 or 457 BC) in the city of Osiya (the name ‘Oshwal’ is derived from the name of the city), which is located about 32 miles from Jodhpur in State of Rajasthan, when some people from a warrior caste (Kashtriya) were converted to Jainism.

The city is remarkably well-preserved, with Hindu and Jain temples a thousand years old, mosques from the time of the Gujarat Sultanate, and the whole workings of a well-planned capital city still in evidence, from granaries and fortications to step wells and cemeteries. Pavagadh and the city of Champaner were captured by the Chauhan Rajputs around 1300 AD, and they ruled the area for almost the next two hundred years. Hindu pilgrims also still continue to climb Pavagadh hill to pray at the temple Mahakali. The principal township at the base of the hill included the Hissar-i- Khas (the royal palace) as well as the Jami Masjid. LAXMI VILLAS PALACE Things to do – Palace, Stepwell Palace built in 1890 as the residence of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III, is indeed one of the grandest structures in India. Constructed in Indo-Saracenic style, it is an outstanding amalgam of elements from Hindu, Mughal and Gothic architectural structure with domes, minarets and arches.
