  • Arcot Is a Town and Urban Area of Ranipet District in the State of Tamil Nadu , India
    Arcot is a town and urban area of Ranipet district in the state of Tamil Nadu , India. Located on the southern banks of Palar River , the city straddles a trade route between Chennai and Bangalore or Salem , between the Mysore Ghat and the Javadi Hills (Javvadhu malai). As of 2011, the city had a population 55,955. The sweet makkan peda is a local speciality while Arcot biryani , a rice-based traditional food, is also served here. Arcot Mudaliars and Muslims are the dominant communities followed by Naidus and Vanniyars in Arcot town. Etymology Its name is commonly believed to have been derived from the Tamil words aaru (River) + kaadu (forest). However, arkaadu meant 'a forest of fig trees'. Jainism was flourishing in this part of Tamil Land who were otherwise known as Arugar most probably corrupted form of Arhants or the perfected souls. The word Arugar is found in many ancient literary works and places dominant with Arugars were related to them viz Arakonam, Arumbakkam, Aruvur, etc. Not far away from present day Arcot (Anglicized form of Aarkaadu) there is a place called Arungundram. Hence Arcot or Aarkaadu would have derived its name from Arugarkaadu. History The town's strategic location has led to it being repeatedly contested and prompted the construction of a formidable fortress. The Nawabdom of the Carnatic was established by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb , who in 1692 appointed Zulfiqar Ali Khan as the first Nawab of the Carnatic . In 1740, the Maratha forces came down upon Arcot. They attacked the Nawab, Dost Ali in the pass of Damalcherry.

  • A Case Study of Kumbakonam
    International Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology (IJIET) http://dx.doi.org/10.21172/ijiet.82.038 Analyzing the heritage potential of a temple town using GIS – A Case study of Kumbakonam G.Yogapriya Research Scholar , Department of Architecture Periyar Maniammai University, Thanjavur, Tamilnadu, India Dr.S.Senthamil Kumar Periyar Maniammai University, Thanjavur, Tamilnadu, India Abstract- Recent years, the role of GIS as a tool in decision making in macro level planning, tourism and sustainable development is active. As it works in layers with a stored database using cartographic points, it figures out the issues of a complex problem. Kumbakonam, known for its Mahamaham festival conducted once in 12 years is taken for analysis. The heritage potential of the town is examined through the data’s collected from site visits, case study and book reviews. Heritage town potentials can be classified as tangible and intangible characters. After identifying, the tangible aspects are marked in GIS as a point and polygon. The land use map is also generated using digitization method. The result shows the varied heritage potential in closer proximity and storing the same for analyzing will help in developing a sustainable strategy for the temple town. Keywords – GIS, Spatial Data, Digitization, Heritage, Temple Town I. INTRODUCTION UNESCO has acknowledged heritage as the one which could be inherited from the past and passed to future generation.
