  • Maharaja Serfoji Ii -The Famous Thanjavur Maratha King
    Vol. 3 No. 3 January 2016 ISSN: 2321 – 788X MAHARAJA SERFOJI II -THE FAMOUS THANJAVUR MARATHA KING Dr. S. Vanajakumari Associate Professor, Department of History, Sri Meenakshi Govt. College (W), Madurai- 625 002 Abstract The place of Thanjavur in Tamilnadu (South India) has a long past history, fertile region and capital of many kingdoms. Thanjavur was a part of the kingdom of the Sangam Cholas. Later Thanjavur was ruled by the Kalabhras, the Pallavas and the Imperial Cholas. Then it was for a short period under the rule of the Pandyas and Vijayanagar Kings who appointed Sevappa Nayak as a viceroy of Thanjavur. Keywords: Thanjavur, Sangam, Kalabhras, Pandyas, Vijayanagar, Pallavas, Marathas, Chattrapathy Shivaji Establishment of Marathas power in Thanjavur Sevappa Nayak (1532-1560) was the founder of Thanjavur Nayak dynasty.1 Vijayaraghava (1634-1674) the last king of this dynasty, lost his life in a battle with Chokkanatha Nayak of Madurai in the year 1662. The Madurai Nayak appointed Alagiri, as the Governor of Thanjavur. This was followed by a long civil war in the Thanjavur kingdom. Alagiri wanted to rule independently and it restrained the relationship between Alagiri and Chokkanatha Nayak. Sengamaladas was the infant son of Vijayaraghava. Venkanna the Rayasam of Vijayaragava desired to make Sengamaladas as the Nayak of Thanjavur and sought the help of Bijapur Sultan who send Ekoji alias Venkogi to capture Thanjavur. He defeated Alagiri and crowned Sengamaladas. But, Venkanna did not get any benefit from Sengamaladas. So he induced Ekoji to usurp the power and got victory. Thus, in 1676 Ekoji established Maratha rule in the Tamil country.

India’s Best-Kept Secret: The Sarasvati Mahal* IIC has a very special place in my heart because when I was a student in JNU in 1996-98, almost every Friday or Saturday I used to come here and listen to lectures or concerts. Those two years made me understand our heritage not just from an artistic point of view but also from a cross-disciplinary point of view, bringing my academic learning in JNU and my understanding of culture here together. Although I must confess that I had never thought when I sat here as a member of the audience that I would actually one day come up here and speak. I gave a very provocative title to this lecture about the Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji’s Sarasvati Mahal Library partly for raising your curiosity but as I list some of its treasures, you will understand how perfectly apt it is that I should call it India’s best-kept secret. In my hands is a classic example of the proverb that asks us not to judge a book by the covers.

  • TRADITION in a MOMENT of CHANGE Tha
    TRADITION IN A MOMENT OF CHANGE Tha Paintings of the Hamzanama Gulammohammed Sheikh Few '-iorks of art are as tantalisingly problematic as the paintin~s of 1 the Hamzanama. With little over one t~:tnth of the original fourteen hundred folios having survived, in various stages of dama ge and d is­ figuration, any attempt to study them is bound to be somewhat tentative, cast with a shadow of fruitlessness. Added to this is the non-availabil ity 2 of a complete narrative in reliable translation which makes it diffi cult to compare the pictorial with the literary form. The impact of the v'isuals is however so overwhelming that the venture is worth all the hazards. With the exception of murals like those of Ajanta, not many paintings match the epic scale and structural complexity o f the Hamza pictures. Fewer still rival their explos1ve energy and 'blustering 3 vigour'. In their stark and often ruthless portrayal of violence they have no parallel. The observations here are based on these compelling r e sponses. While the place of the Hamza folios is of cardinal importance to the study of Mughal art, some of the issues they raise are central to the whole tradition of Indian painting when faced with challenges of change. The task of formulating a v isual language commensurate with the vicissi·· tudes of historical and material transition of an age that the Hamzn project a~tempts, points to i m po~derable questions raised bv c ompara bl.e situations in other time s . Th ese rela t e to the polemics of 'histo r i~a.L consciousness' against a 'timeless' tradition and concepts of ma t e ria l ity against ideals of 'spiritualist' persuasions.

  • Hamza Press Release
    Brooklyn Museum of Art News Release Dispersed Hamzanama Paintings Reunited after 250 Years in Public Information The Adventures of Hamza at the Brooklyn Museum of Art Department November 1, 2002, through January 26, 2003 July 2002 The Adventures of Hamza, on view November 1, 2002, through January 26, 2003, at the Brooklyn Museum of Art will reunite 58 of the finest surviving Hamzanama paintings from international public and private collections. Only 200 of the paintings from this extraordinary set are believed to exist today. The exhibition is the first time that the paintings have been seen together since the 18th century. Between 1557 and 1572, a group of Persian and Hindu artists fulfilled an extraor- dinary commission from the Mughal emperor, Akbar, who ruled much of what is now northern India from 1556 to 1605. Still a teenager, Akbar commanded them to create the Hamzanama—an epic organized into 14 enormous volumes, illus- trated with approximately 1,400 boldly conceived paintings. Together these formed the world’s most accomplished illustration of a beloved Persian story: the larger-than-life exploits of Amir Hamza, a hero akin to Robin Hood and Indiana Jones. Hamza’s much embellished legend features encounters with giants, demons, and dragons, as well as abductions and hair-raising chases. The Adventures of Hamza far surpasses in size all previous exhibitions of Hamzanama paintings, including the installation at the British Museum in 1976, and the four shown at the BMA in 1994. The MAK-Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art, Vienna, the principal lender to the exhibition, with the world’s largest holding of Hamzanama paintings, has lent a core group of 28 paintings; their holdings have never been seen outside Austria.

  • Chapter VI Painters, Artists and Musicians 231
    Chapter VI Painters, Artists and Musicians 231 [VI] Painters, Artists and Musicians Much impetus was provided to the perfonning arts imder the Mughals. It was during the reign of Akbar that two important fields - painting and music - were given a new meaning and import. It is important to note that although there were a number of master craftsmen and professionals in the Mughal karkhanas, it is only the painters, musicians and calligraphers who are mentioned by name. The painters not only signed their work but would also include their self-portraits in some of their compositions. These professions thus appear to have enjoyed a high status in the Mughal society. Although nothing is known about the presence or absence of painters under Babur, it was during the reign of Humayun that attention started being paid to recruiting accomplished painters to the Mughal Court."*'* From the accoxmt of Jauhar Aftabchi it is evident that the imperial ateUer existed even during the reign of Humayun when he was wandering in the wilderness: Soon after the Rana had retired, the king [Himiayun] undressed and ordered his clothes to be washed, and in the meanwhile he wore his dressing gown; while thus sitting, a beautiful bird flew into the tent, the doors of which were inmiediately closed, and the bird caught; his Majesty then took a pair of scissors and cut some of the feathers of the animal, he then sent for a painter, and had taken a picture of the bird, and afterwards ordered it to be released."*^ For his reign we get the names of six painters.

Probably an organized search for old manuscripts in the libraries of religious institutions, monasteries and private persons would yield rich results. That, and the critical examination of these manuscripts and, where considered desirable, their publication and translation, are among the many things we have to do in India when we succeed in breaking through our shackles and can function for ourselves. Such a study is bound to throw light on many phases of Indian history and especially on the social background behind historic events and changing ideas.” Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, The Discovery of India Editor: Neha Paliwal Design: Alpana Khare Graphic Design fgUnh laiknd % izHkkr dqekj nkl Cover image: Folios from Narayaneeyam by Narayana Bhatta, preserved at Assistant Editor : Mrinmoy Chakraborty Oriental Research Institute and Manuscripts Library, Kariavattom, Publisher’s details: Mission Director Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala National Mission for Manuscripts No. 5, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road Print: Azure Press Services New Delhi 110 001 Tel: +91 11 23383894 National Mission for Manuscripts is an Email: [email protected] undertaking of the Ministry of Culture, Website: www.namami.nic.in Government of India. final newsletter feb 2006.qxd 18/3/06 2:08 PM Page 1 From the Editor Contents On 7th February 2006, the National Mission for 1.

  • The Reception of Western Music in South India Around 1800
    2-3 _________________________________________________________ The Reception of Western Music in South India around 1800 Takako Inoue Introduction Generally speaking, Indian traditional or classical music is said to have been preserved well and the Western impact on the traditional music is less perceptible than in other Asian countries. It may be partially true due to the guru-sisya (from a master to a disciple) method of transmitting traditional music has been well preserved. Then the education system of Indian music in academic institutions was well established during the Nationalist movement under the British Raj and as a result Indian traditional music is well appreciated today by the mass including young generations. This perception seems to have been more or less shared by scholars. Focused on the academic studies on music, Indian music appreciated by Westerners at the early stage of the British invasion such as Hindustani air, that is Indian melodies collected by Europeans to be arranged for the accompaniment by Western musical instruments, sometimes with English lyrics, has attracted the scholars’ attention so far (Farrell 1997: 28-44, Woodfiled 2000: 149-154). On the other hand, Western music appreciated by Indians at that time has been rarely studied.1 In my paper, I will take up the Western music appreciated by Indians in South India around 1800 when Hindustani air was flourishing in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in the early colonial period. I will particularly focus on the contribution of Serfoji II Figure 1 Serfoji in procession along with the Tanjore Band, (reign: 1798-1832), then Tanjore, c.1820 (Archer 1970: Plate 5) Maratha King of Thanjavur, who is said to have been the first Indian composer appropriating Western styles.
