  • Khuldabad-Daulatabad
    ELLORA- KHULDABAD-DAULATABAD Water and Sacred Spaces Yaaminey Mubayi he settlements of Ellora, Daulatabad and Khuldabad, laid out within a territorial radius of T10 kilometres, constitute a micro-region characterized by a convergence of geographical/geological, political and socio-economic factors that contributed to their pattern of historical evolution. This essay focuses on the waterscape in these settlements and its role in consolidating the region as a centre of religion and trade over millennia.1 Exploring the Landscape and the Role of Water Situated in the rain-shadow of the Western Ghats in the Marathwada region of the Deccan Plateau, the three historic sites along with associated settlements, including Verul, Kagazipura and Sulibhanjan villages and the pastoralist hamlets of Talawadi and Shardulwadi, occupy a micro-watershed of the Upper Godavari river basin. Numerous seasonal streams and gullies cut across the surface of the table-topped hills, and natural reservoirs are usually formed at the base of the slopes where runoff is collected. The location of the micro-region along the Dakshinapatha, an ancient north–south trade and pilgrimage route, further contributed to the evolution of human settlements in the area which began in the mid-1st millennium ce, if not earlier. The system of water conservation and management that supported historic settlements in the micro-region is evidenced by the presence of wells, tanks, reservoirs and channels, indicating the existence of technical knowledge to gain access to precious water in a resource-scarce environment. The caves themselves have cisterns attached to them, with channels etched into the rock for collecting rainwater run-off.

Abstract: Evaluation of Heritage and its conservation should be based on the values that are perceived by various stakeholders. This makes the process of conservation, complex and sometimes difficult. Visitors at heritage sites, have different motivations of visit. They have expectations from heritage sites, different from those of the local communities. Hence their preferences for development at these sites may differ with the local communities, thereby posing challenges in conservation and development of the heritage sites.
