Harvard and Cambridge are, ranks in this list having successfully showcased its truly global universities, as they are able to attract the capabilities in these areas. Similarly, in the present best of talent from across the world and successfully knowledge era, countries are vying each other to combine all these in a truly, multi-national and multi- position at least a few of their own in the list of Top cultural environment to attain global recognition and 100 Universities in Global Rankings. It is widely educational excellence. The building of a global believed that the number of universities appearing in brand, therefore, requires enormous efforts to global rankings is a reection of the intellectual address the concerns and perceptions inherent in a capabilities of the academic, talent pool in that given cultural and geographic setting and embracing country. By guring in the Ranking Lists these a vision that will prepare the institution to attain universities are in a strong position to differentiate global acceptance. themselves and compete in the open and transparent international education markets.

A The mantle of a global university should not be global University should be able to attract casually assumed. It imposes signicant international students coming from different responsibilities on all members of the university countries with diverse ethnic background and all community. Accepting the responsibilities requires students should be allowed to express themselves knowledge and understanding that implies an without bias or discrimination. educational task in itself. Cultural openness is a critical pre-requisite. Simply The realisation of the dream of producing a global being open to the presence of international faculty university, for any country, does not come easily and members and students does not make a university so also for India. It is not also sufcient that a country global. Indeed, if there is no real cross pollination of spends huge sums of money to push some of its students, coming from different nations, then the universities to global university status.

  • PROFILE of ANANTAPUR DISTRICT the Effective Functioning of Any Institution Largely Depends on The
    PROFILE OF ANANTAPUR DISTRICT The effective functioning of any institution largely depends on the socio-economic environment in which it is functioning. It is especially true in case of institutions which are functioning for the development of rural areas. Hence, an attempt is made here to present a socio­ economic profile of Anantapur district, which happens to be one of the areas of operation of DRDA under study. Profile of Anantapur District Anantapur offers some vivid glimpses of the pre-historic past. It is generally held that the place got its name from 'Anantasagaram', a big tank, which means ‘Endless Ocean’. The villages of Anantasagaram and Bukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chilkkavodeya, the Minister of Bukka-I, a Vijayanagar ruler. Some authorities assert that Anantasagaram was named after Bukka's queen, while some contend that it must have been known after Anantarasa Chikkavodeya himself, as Bukka had no queen by that name. Anantapur is familiarly known as ‘Hande Anantapuram’. 'Hande' means chief of the Vijayanagar period. Anantapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers to Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family. The place subsequently came under the Qutub Shahis, Mughals, and the Nawabs of Kadapa, although the Hande chiefs continued to rule as their subordinates. It was occupied by the Palegar of Bellary during the time of Ramappa but was eventually won back by 136 his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpade attacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought off the enemy for Rs.50, 000. Anantapur then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.

  • Balaji Srinivasan, Gandhi Balasubramanian, Uma V Chandru
    Comparison of Tamil Shaiva Visual Narratives in Lepakshi with Community Theatre Traditions of Thanjavur and Thiruvarur Balaji Srinivasan, Gandhi Balasubramanian, Uma V Chandru A draft version of this paper was previously presented on March 5, 2016 at the National Seminar on “Visual Art Forms of Medieval India,” K Mrutyunjaya Rao (Ed,) in the compendium of the National Seminar papers. Publisher: The Registrar, Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, 2016, pp.14 -20 Introduction The Lepakshi Veerabhadraswamy temple in Ananthapur District, Andhra Pradesh has one of the largest collections of medieval murals in South India and the best preserved examples of the 16th century Vijayanagara style paintings. The sculpture and continuous narrative reliefs on the pillars and walls of the mahamandapa, natyamandapa, and the unfinished kalyanamandapa are also significant both in quality and quantity. Some of the devotional narratives of paintings and reliefs in this temple are from the Thanjavur and Thiruvarur region of present day Tamil Nadu. The monkey-faced king Muchukunda in the ceiling of the cave area in Lepakshi is depicted worshipping Thyagarajaswamy in Thiruvarur. The Beda Kannappa or Kannappa Nayanar narrative painted on the ceiling of the mahamandapa and two other Tamil Shaiva devotional narratives of sacrifice - the Siriyala Charithram depicted in bas relief panels on the east and north walls of the mahamandapa and the Manuneethi Chola story depicted in a ceiling mural in the natyamandapa are described by the 12th century Tamil poet Sekkizhar in his Periyapuranam (great Purana). In this paper we compare the structure and aesthetics of the Manuneethi Chola painting and Siriyala Charithram narrative relief panels in Lepakshi with their © Balaji Srinivasan, Gandhi Balasubramanian, Uma V Chandru International Institute of Art, Culture and Democracy tangible and intangible heritage parallels in Thanjavur and Thiruvarur region of Tamil Nadu, where they are part of the Sthalapuranas.

    CHAPTER-I ' HISTOBICAL BACKGROUND OF THE REGION A, TOPOGRAPHICAL ANTECEDENTS LepakshI is a moderate village (Lat.13® ^8* N, Long# 7 7 ^ 3 6 ' E)** situated at about 15 l*i. east of Hindupur (Fig, I) on'fthe Kodikpnda-Anantapur road in Hindupur taluq of Anantapur D istric t, Andhra Pradesh, The place is very much known for its monumental temple architecture of Vijayanagara period. Especially the extensive mural paintings executed on the temple ceilings are world famous for th e ir special style and theme, B, THE SIGNIFICANCE OF,THE NAME In the epigraphical records available on the temple walls, the place is variously spelt as Lepaksha^, Lepikshl^ and Lepakshipura!^’ Even in the inscriptions of Achyutaraya's period (1529-^2) available at Tirumala-Tirupati, the place is also referred as Lepakshi, a village in Roda Nadu sub­ division of Penugonda-rajya. It seems that the place was an insignificant one before the constriiction of the magnificent temple and came into prominence during Achyuta­ raya' s reign (1529-^2 A.D.) especially due to the munificent activities of Virupanna, a royal officer in the personal staff of Achyutaraya^ who hailed from Lepakshi, The li t e r a l meaning of the word is (Lepa + Akshi — Lepakshi) an embalmed eye or a painted eye. How the village derived its name is difficult to explain. However, some scholars trie d to co-relate the l i te r a l meaning of the word with the painted eyes of the figures drawn in the mural paintings. But the epigraphical evidences show that the place was already known by this name much earlier to the construction of the temple, because the father of Virupanna was called as LepakshI Lakkusetti in the epigraphs.

    An Intellectual Journey in History: Preserving Indian Cultural Heritage Anupama Mallik1, Santanu Chaudhury1, T.B. Dinesh2, and Chaluvaraju3 1 Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi {ansimal,chaluvaraju.hampi}@gmail.com, [email protected] 2 International Institute for Art, Culture and Democracy, Bengaluru, India [email protected] 3 Kannada University, Hampi, India Abstract. Heritage preservation requires preserving the tangibles (monuments, sculpture, coinage, etc) and the intangibles (history, tradi- tions, stories, dance, etc). Besides these artefacts, there is a huge amount of background knowledge that correlates all these resources and estab- lishes their context. In this work, we present a new paradigm for her- itage preservation – ‘an Intellectual Journey into the past’, which is more advanced than physical explorations of heritage sites and virtual explo- rations of monuments and museums. This paradigm proposes an experi- ential expedition into a historical era by using an ontology to inter-link the digital heritage artefacts with their background knowledge. A mul- timedia ontology encoded in the Multimedia Web Ontology Language (MOWL) is used to illustrate this paradigm by correlating the digital artefacts with their history as well their living context in today’s world. The user experience of this paradigm involves a virtual traversal of a her- itage site, with an ontology guided navigation through space and time and a dynamic display of different kinds of media. 1 Introduction Heritage is not just an accumulation of tangible artefacts and intangible knowl- edge, preserved by presenting these resources to people to view, explore and analyse. To understand heritage, one must take a journey down several paths in history and experience the various events in their historical and cultural context.

  • When Science Meets Heritage Vanita Srivastava Imagine Recreating the Splendour of a Heritage Site, Transporting Back to Medieval
    When science meets heritage Vanita Srivastava Imagine recreating the splendour of a heritage site, transporting back to medieval times, indulge in India’s rich architectural legacy and unfolding a visual reflection of the social life of a bygone era – through digital technologies. This is what the Indian Digital Heritage (IDH), an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology has strived to do when it started the IDH project in 2011. As the five-year-project that fleshed out the architectural glory of Hampi, a medieval grand capital of Vijayanagara Empire, located in the border town of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, comes to an end next month, it leaves behind an imprint and an ample scope for the researchers to broaden its ambit to other such sites. DST helps to recreate Hampi's glory Hampi, an ideal canvas The IDH is a unique initiative supporting collaborative projects between researchers in the areas of advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and humanities for the digital documentation of our heritage. It was conceived with the idea of drawing together a pool of social scientists and technologists to work towards the digital reconstruction, documentation and interpretation of heritage using synergy digital approaches. The World Heritage Site of Hampi in Karnataka, the capital of Vijayanagara Empire from the mid 14th to mid 16th century seemed to provide an ideal canvas as it contains palaces, forts, army bastians, temples and other monuments in a 20 sq km area. Hampi was an ideal location for this novel experiment because it is dotted with a rich, diverse and dazzling legacy of architectural ruins, temples, art and living traditions.
