  • History Jahangir Receives Prince Khurram at Ajmer on His Return From
    AJMER One of the major cities in the Indian state of Rajasthan and the centre of the eponymous Ajmer District. According to the 2011 census, Ajmer had a population of 542,321 in the city, 551,101 including its suburbs.[2] The city was established as "Ajayameru" by a Shakambhari Chahamana (Chauhan) ruler, either Ajayaraja I or Ajayaraja II, and served as the Chahamana capital until the 12th century CE.[3][4] Ajmer is surrounded by the Aravalli Mountains. It is the base for visiting Pushkar (11 km), an ancient Hindu pilgrimage city, famous for the temple of Lord Brahma, and also a pilgrimage centre for the shrine of the Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. Ajmer has been selected as one of the heritage cities for the HRIDAY - Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana scheme of Government of India. History Jahangir receives Prince Khurram at Ajmer on his return from the Mewar campaign Ajmer was originally known as Ajayameru.] The 12th century text Prithviraja Vijaya states that the Shakambhari Chahamana (Chauhan) king Ajayaraja II (ruled c. 1110 – 1135 CE) established the city of Ajayameru.[4] Historian Dasharatha Sharma notes that the earliest mention of the city's name occurs in Palha's Pattavali, which was copied in 1113 CE (1170 VS) at Dhara. This suggests that Ajmer was founded sometime before 1113 CE.[7] A prashasti (eulogistic inscription), issued by Vigraharaja IV and found at Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, states Ajayadeva (that is, Ajayaraja II) moved his residence to Ajmer.[3] The later text Prabandha-Kosha states that it was the 8th century king Ajayaraja I who commissioned the Ajayameru fort, which later came to be known as the Taragarh fort of Ajmer.[4] According to historian R.

  • Secondary Indian Culture and Heritage

In sum it means cultivating and refining Ta thing to such an extent that its end product evokes our admiration and respect. This is practically the same as ‘Sanskriti’ of the Sanskrit language. The term ‘Sanskriti’ has been derived from the root ‘Kri (to do) of Sanskrit language. Three words came from this root ‘Kri; prakriti’ (basic matter or condition), ‘Sanskriti’ (refined matter or condition) and ‘vikriti’ (modified or decayed matter or condition) when ‘prakriti’ or a raw material is refined it becomes ‘Sanskriti’ and when broken or damaged it becomes ‘vikriti’.

  • Spatial Data Modeling in Gis for Historical Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Heritage of Seven Cities of Delhi
    SPATIAL DATA MODELING IN GIS FOR HISTORICAL RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE OF SEVEN CITIES OF DELHI Madan Mohan Department of Geography, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University) New Delhi, INDIA [email protected], [email protected], Commission V, WG V/4 KEY WORDS: History, Human Settlement, Change, Structure, Cultural Heritage, GIS, Integration, Reconstruction ABSTRACT Delhi is one of the ancient historical and greatest cultural cities of the World. Delhi’s two monuments the Qutb Minar and Humayun’s Tomb have been declared the World Cultural Heritage sites. Delhi was built and rebuilt seven times on different sites through out the history within a triangular area of about 142.20 sq. kms. lying between the last ridge of the Aravalli Range and the River Yamuna. The remains of the seven cities of Delhi can still be seen across the landscape from the Tomar city of Lal-Kot to Siri, Tughluqabad, Jahanpanah and Firuzabad of the Sultans and then Purana-Qila and Shahjahanabad of the Mughals. Moreover, the New Delhi is historically the ‘eighth city’ built by the Britishers. The present Delhi is a complex agglomeration of built fabric which exists as evidence in the form of layers of various historic time periods. It is noteworthy to mention that the vertical and horizontal expansions have adversely been affected the historical areas as well as several cultural heritage sites particularly during the post- independence period in Delhi. Therefore, the widened role is not only to meet the challenges of development, but also to preserve and protect the different facets of the Delhi’s personality.

The history of India is also the one which has been created by the common man of India and which is enshrined in the folk stories of India and which has been carried forward by generations. Today, when India is heralding the 75th year of its independence, there can be no greater opportunity than remembering such great men and saluting them respectfully and getting inspiration from them for their contributions, sacrifices, struggles, heroism and martyrdom. Unfortunately, many heroes who devoted their lives for the protection of India and Indianness were not given due recognition. The new India is rectifying the injustice done to those who created history by those who manipulated in the name of writing history, is doing the right thing and freeing the country from misinterpretations. (Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India- 16th February, 2021) Dhillika Puri name has appeared in several

  • History of Agriculture
    CHAPTER -I HISTORY OF AGRICULTURE Introduction Though, Haryana State emerged on the political map of India on 1st November, 1966, the region has been well known in history since the ancient times, as being the cradle of Indian culture and agriculture. The fate of Indian history has also been decided time and again on its soil. Since the Aryans inhabited this area in the second millennium B.C., the mainstay of its economy has always been agriculture and animal husbandry through the ages. Rigveda, the earliest recorded literature of the Aryans, was composed here. The Saraswati river, regarded as the life and the soul of the early Aryans, flowed through this region. Since the earliest times, the region has been playing a vital role in the economic growth of India and has contributed significantly in the agricultural development of this country. Though, archaeological evidences reveal that agriculture was being practised in this region earlier than the Harappan culture, the earliest literary reference is found in the Vaman-Purana. Geographically, Haryana is bounded by the Shiwalik Hills in the North, the Aravali Hills in the South, Yamuna river in the East and the Thar-desert in the West. The modern state of Haryana, covering an area of 44,222 square kilometer is situated in the Northern region of India, adjoining Delhi between 27o3/ to 31o9/ North latitude and 70o5/ to 77o6/ East longitude. The plains cover almost the entire state. The land slope is from North to South. The average height of topography ranges from 700 to 950 feet above sea-level.
