Arrive Bijapur & check in to hotel.Post lunch time for some rest. Evening explore surroundings. The foundation of this historic city was laid during the reign of the Chalukaya Dynasty of Kalyani between 10th and 11th Centuries. They called it 'Vijayapura' or the city of Victory from where comes its present name Bijapur. Evening arrival and check in to Hotel.Overnight at Bijapur(B,L,D) Day 02: Badami After Breakfast visit the famous Badami caves. These temples, over thirteen centuries old, have been carved out of the hills of red sandstone surrounding Badami. Two temples are devoted to Vishnu, one to Shiva, and other two to Jainism and Buddhism. Apart from these, the town also is the home to several other temples and a beautiful tank. Lord Shiva is worshipped in the Bhootnath Temple as the God of Souls. The Agastyatirtha Tank, a beautiful water body, is considered as holy by the pilgrims. The Archaeological Museum in Badami showcases a good collection of artifacts from Badami Aihole and Pattadakal. Jambulinga Temple, one of the oldest in Badami, is devoted to the Trinity of Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Mahesh (Shiva, the destroyer). Finally, the Badami Fort offers a good view of the entire Badami ruins. Overnight at Bijapur(B,L,D) Day 03:Bijapur – Hospet: After Breakfast check out the hotel & visit Gol Gumbaz - The tomb of Mohammed Adil Shah, boasts of the second-largest tomb in the world. 44 m in diameter, the interior of the dome is mysteriously unsupported and has a whispering gallery under it, whose acoustics are superb. Located in the northeastern part of Karnataka, Bijapur used to be the home of the Bahamani Sultans. Adil Shah began the task of building his own tomb, quite earnestly and went on with this work for over 20 years. The dome is the second largest in the world, 124 feet in diameter. The architecture of this building is unique with the four minarets being the four staircases leading to the top dome. The acoustics of the enclosed space make it a whispering gallery, where even the smallest sound is heard across the other side of the Gumbuz. At the periphery of the dome is a circular balcony where visitors can witness its greatest marvel, "ECHO". Any whisper, clap or sound gets echoed 9 times (11 times with fading) and creates an ideal stereophonic stage even for the weak-lunged singers. Even the smallest whisper amplifies and is clearly heard at the diagonally opposite side of the dome. Post Lunch transfer to Hospet. Arrive & check in to hotel. Evening at leisure.Overnight at Hospet.(B,L,D) Day 04:Hospet – Hampi Morning proceed to explore Hampi - Hampi is both a historic & religious place in India. This was the capital of the Hindu empire, Vijayanagara, who ruled the south India during 14th to 16th century AD. The ruins of Hampi, as it is known today, are a vast open museum of history, architecture and religion. Spread over an area more than 25 square kilometers , Hampi ruins is packed with giant temples, palaces, market streets, aquatic structures, fortifications and an abundance of other ancient monuments. A large number of places can only be toured by walking and to some level of trekking. Sometimes it’s fun to walk to a site; sometimes it’s necessary as access paths are not motorable. A few of these walking trails are sort of semi trekking. The others are sort of climbing the rock to see a place at the top of a few hills. Vitthal temple - From the eastern end of Hampi Bazaar, a track, best covered on foot, leads left to the Vittala Temple, about 2 km away. The undisputed highlight of the Hampi ruins, the 16th-century temple is in a good state of preservation, though purists may gasp at the cement-block columns erected to keep the main structure from collapsing. Hemakuta Hill Temples - To the south, overlooking Virupaksha Temple, Hemakuta Hill has a scattering of early ruins, including Jain temples and a monolithic sculpture of Narasimha (Vishnu in his man-lion incarnation). It's worth the short walk up for the view over the bazaar. Hanuman temple - The whitewashed Hanuman Temple is perched on top of the prominent Anjanadri Hill. Fittingly, lots of cheeky monkeys roam about; so don't walk up wearing bananas. Nandi Statue - At the east end of Hampi Bazaar is a monolithic Nandi Statue and shrine. Overnight at Hospet.(B,L,D) Day 05:Hampi Today visit Elephant Stable - The Elephant Stables is a grand building with domed chambers where the state elephants once resided. Your entry ticket to the Zenana Enclosure and the stables is also valid for same-day admission to the Vittala Temple. Royal center - This area of Hampi is quite different from the area around Hampi Bazaar, since most of the rounded boulders that once littered the site have been used to create beautiful stone walls. It's a 2km walk on a track from the Achyutaraya Temple, but most people get to it from the Hampi Bazaar- Kamalapuram road. Within various enclosures here are the rest of Hampi's major attractions, including the Zenana Enclosure and the Elephant Stables. Evening enjoy Get together & Campfire program.Overnight at Hospet.(B,L,D) Day 06:Hospet – Pune Morning after breakfast transfer to Pune by Road. Lunch and dinner will be enroute. Reach Pune late evening.(B,L,D) ** This is an indicative Itinerary and is subject to change at the time of booking. .

  • Shiva's Waterfront Temples
    Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Subhashini Kaligotla All rights reserved ABSTRACT Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla This dissertation examines Deccan India’s earliest surviving stone constructions, which were founded during the 6th through the 8th centuries and are known for their unparalleled formal eclecticism. Whereas past scholarship explains their heterogeneous formal character as an organic outcome of the Deccan’s “borderland” location between north India and south India, my study challenges the very conceptualization of the Deccan temple within a binary taxonomy that recognizes only northern and southern temple types. Rejecting the passivity implied by the borderland metaphor, I emphasize the role of human agents—particularly architects and makers—in establishing a dialectic between the north Indian and the south Indian architectural systems in the Deccan’s built worlds and built spaces. Secondly, by adopting the Deccan temple cluster as an analytical category in its own right, the present work contributes to the still developing field of landscape studies of the premodern Deccan. I read traditional art-historical evidence—the built environment, sculpture, and stone and copperplate inscriptions—alongside discursive treatments of landscape cultures and phenomenological and experiential perspectives. As a result, I am able to present hitherto unexamined aspects of the cluster’s spatial arrangement: the interrelationships between structures and the ways those relationships influence ritual and processional movements, as well as the symbolic, locative, and organizing role played by water bodies.

  • Decoding the Cultural Landscape of Badami
    Decoding the cultural landscape of Badami - Towards sustainability Pragya Shankar Assistant Professor School of Enviornment and Design Navrachana University, Vadodara [email protected] There exist a great variety of Landscapes that are representative of the different regions of the world. Combined works of nature and humankind, they express a long and intimate relationship between peoples and their natural environment. Cultural landscapes testify to the creative genius, social development and the imaginative and spiritual vitality of humanity. They are part of our collective identity. (UNESCO) Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape the result (Sauer, 1925). Cultural landscapes are as much the expression of culture as the disciplines of arts and architecture. These are reflection of the common existential ideas and represent the relationship of people with the environment. This world view is a people's more or less systematic attempt to make sense of environment. To be livable, nature and society must show order and display a harmonious relationship (Tuan, 1977). The environment has been considered detrimental in shaping of cultures by environmental determinists, whereas according to the ideas of cultural determinism, it is culture which influences the relationship of man with environment. None the less, it is an accepted premise that both, the environment and culture are very closely inter-related and have multifaceted relationship with each other, the original landscape forms the part of transcendental idea and the world view and there are landscapes removed from the original place, but represent elements in similar relationships. Cultural landscape of India Landscape in India offer the possibility of transcendental experiences, their cultural meaning going beyond views or the visual composition of forms.

  • A Case Study of Cultural History of Harapanahalli in the Kannada Inscriptions of the Taluk”
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 2 April 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 “A case study of cultural history of Harapanahalli in the Kannada inscriptions of the taluk” Prof. M.Vijaykumar Asst Professor Government First Grade College – Harapanahalli Abstarct: Harapanahalli region played an important role keeping intact Kananda language and culture. It was center of various empires imporatnat ones being Western Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas,Vijayanagara. The present paper seeks to unravel these aspects through study of cultural history of Harapanahalli in the Kannada inscriptions of the taluk.The Western Chalukyas played an important role in art and cultrure development in the region.The Western Chalukyas developed an architectural style known today as a transitional style, an architectural link between the style of the early Chalukya dynasty and that of the later Hoysala empire. Most of its monuments are in the districts bordering the Tungabhadra River in central Karnataka. Well known examples are the theMallikarjuna Temple at Kuruvatti, the Kallesvara Temple at Bagali and the Mahadeva Temple at Itagi. This was an important period in the development of fine arts in Southern India, especially in literature as the Western Chalukya kings encouraged writers in the native language Kannada, and Sanskrit.Knowledge of Western Chalukya history has come through examination of the numerous Kannada language inscriptions left by the kings (scholars Sheldon Pollock and Jan Houben have claimed 90 percent of the Chalukyan royal inscriptions are in Kannada), and from the study of important contemporary literary documents in Western Chalukya literature such as GadaYuddha (982) in Kannada by Ranna and VikramankadevaCharitam (1120) in Sanskrit by Bilhana.
