BKPS College of Architecture, Pune 2. D Y Patil School of Architecture, Charholi, Pune, India ABSTRACT Modern project management techniques are essential for heritage preservation. Implementation of conservation proposals through management is more effective in terms of duration taken and on time completion. The paper deals with the study of forts in Maharashtra Region for the feasibility and potential to develop them as a tourist destination through conservation and preservation. The paper discusses the issues, constraints and potential of tourism in the study area for the future development. And suggest a methodology and guidelines for planning and development of forts considering Eco-Tourism to promote the Tourism activity. Affordability of people is increased due to Globalization and IT Sector, so there is demand for this kind of development. Since there are 350 odd forts in Maharashtra, standing as silent sentinels to history there is a very high Tourism Potential which could develop through the preservation and conservation of the same. Ideal management techniques for the same are to be identified and appropriate recommendations are to be suggested as an outcome of study. 1. INTRODUCTION Tourism in the form of activity influences the regions in which it is developed and received with economic, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions. In most of the development programmers and studies the focus is given only on economic and social dimensions where as environmental dimension is under estimated or ignored.

Join us for a private TBE guided tour that looks right into the country's soul. Of course, you wouldn't want to miss some of the more popular highlights of this remarkable country, either. So we begin in Delhi (Old and New) to see her top monuments, great and small, before heading down to Uttar Pradesh -- Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, where no photograph or description has quite measured up to the beauty of the place when experienced firsthand. Watch as the white marble facade is illuminated at sunrise (and sunset) and examine the Taj’s iconic Mughal architecture. But there’s more to Agra than just the Taj, like the Agra Fort and (for those who want to venture further afar) the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Dualah and the mysterious ghost town of Fatehpur Sikri.

  • Vijaydurg ( Location on Map )
    Vijaydurga The sleepy village boasts of a seemingly impregnable, pre Shivaji period fort that, maritime history says, was the scene of many a bloody battle. It has been attacked from the sea by the British to take it over from its Indian occupants. A dilapidated board at the entrance of the fort tells you its history. Some of the board is readable whilst the rest is guesswork since the paint has peeled off. Once upon a time the steamer from Bombay to Goa used to halt at the jetty near the entrance to the fort. Now the catamaran whizzes past oblivious of the fort, the town and the beach. Incidentally the one of the best views of the fort is from this jetty. The fort stretches out in to the sea and a walk inside its precincts is worthwhile. When I was there last, the organisers of the McDowell Bombay – Goa Regatta had established a staging post inside the fort and there was quite a bit of revelry. Otherwise no one really bothers to come here. The locals inform us that Mr Vijay Mallya, the liquor baron, boss of United Breweries that owns the McDowell Brand, has bought over a 100 acres of land in the area just north of here with a view to building a resort some time in the future. Gives you an indication of the potential of the place. Vijaydurg’s beach is quite hidden from view and is not obvious to the casual visitor. Ask for the small bus terminus just before you get to the fort and the road ends.

  • The Amalgamation of Indo-Islamic Architecture of the Deccan
    Islamic Heritage Architecture and Art II 255 THE AMALGAMATION OF INDO-ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE DECCAN SHARMILA DURAI Department of Architecture, School of Planning & Architecture, Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture & Fine Arts University, India ABSTRACT A fundamental proportion of this work is to introduce the Islamic Civilization, which was dominant from the seventh century in its influence over political, social, economic and cultural traits in the Indian subcontinent. This paper presents a discussion on the Sultanate period, the Monarchs and Mughal emperors who patronized many arts and skills such as textiles, carpet weaving, tent covering, regal costume design, metallic and decorative work, jewellery, ornamentation, painting, calligraphy, illustrated manuscripts and architecture with their excellence. It lays emphasis on the spread of Islamic Architecture across India, embracing an ever-increasing variety of climates for the better flow of air which is essential for comfort in the various climatic zones. The Indian subcontinent has produced some of the finest expressions of Islamic Art known to the intellectual and artistic vigour. The aim here lies in evaluating the numerous subtleties of forms, spaces, massing and architectural character which were developed during Muslim Civilization (with special reference to Hyderabad). Keywords: climatic zones, architectural character, forms and spaces, cultural traits, calligraphic designs. 1 INTRODUCTION India, a land enriched with its unique cultural traits, traditional values, religious beliefs and heritage has always surprised historians with an amalgamation of varying influences of new civilizations that have adapted foreign cultures. The advent of Islam in India was at the beginning of 11th century [1]. Islam, the third great monotheistic religion, sprung from the Semitic people and flourished in most parts of the world.

  • Udaipur Leaflet
    PAGE | 01 FBN 30TH GLOBAL SUMMIT | FBN and its Indian chapter are proud to present the 30th Anniversary Global Summit in Udaipur, India from 16-19 October! More than 500 of FBN’s global members will gather in Udaipur - India’s magical City of Lakes – to discuss how business families are mastering paradoxes to marry the competence of the corporation with the soul of the family.Where better to host this year’s peer-learning than India. Said Farhad Forbes, Chairman of FBN: “India is a land of paradox, and as Indians we live with paradox every day. We have modernity intertwined with heritage; tradition and renewal; best business practice coupled with professionalism and spiritualism; poverty with aspiration, determination and hope". Adds Ajay Shriram, Chairman of the Summit Host Committee: “India is a very diverse country – culturally, philosophically, attitudinally. There are 29 states in India and each state virtually has a different language, different food habits, different cultures. At the same time we are a united country.” Summit Venue The Summit will be hosted in the Oberoi Udaivilas and Trident hotel, adjacent properties in the same compound, within a few minutes walking distance of each other. Summit Theme Challenges in business families are often not so much problems to be solved as contradictions to be managed together: tradition and innovation; short-term profit and long-term legacy; preserving family privacy and building a public profile; reason and emotion; meritocracy and inclusion. Such dilemmas are arguably amplified in the Summit's host country: the economist Joan Robinson once said, “Whatever you can rightly say about India, the opposite is also true.” Instead of feeling frustration, business families must learn to draw strength from the paradox dynamic to become a more effective force for good as businesspeople and individually.

It was early 2009, and Shriji knew that his responsibilities as trustee of Mewar would ultimately pass to his son Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, with his daughters Bhargavi Kumari and Padmaja Kumari contributing their efforts to both the HRH Group of heritage hotels that the family owned and managed as well as numerous non-commercial activities under the umbrella of the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation, the trust that Shriji’s father, Bhagwat Singh, had established.
