  • Why the Portuguese Told the British That Brazil Was Just a Hop, Skip and Jump Away from Bombay
    URMI CHANDA-VAZ K Indologist cultureexpress.in Why the Portuguese told the British that Brazil was just a hop, skip and jump away from Bombay An exhibition of woodcuts and lithographs tells the city's history in 46 prints Mumbai is a fast-paced city in more ways than one. With the daily movement of its millions, its cultural and geographical landscape are quickly morphed. One place to witness the story of its rapidly changing colours is the Prints Gallery at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya or CSMVS, at Fort, Mumbai. The exhibition therein is titled Bombay to Mumbai: Door of the East with its Face to the West. While the gallery opened in 2015, its catalogue was released only in March, by Dr Anne Buddle, the Collections Advisor of National Galleries of Scotland. The collection in this gallery is curated by Pauline Rohatgi and Dr Pheroza Godrej, both well known for their work in art and local history. Together, they have put together a sizable collection of prints, which are veritable historical treasures. After years of curating, exhibiting and publishing them, Rohatgi and Godrej decided to give the prints on a long term lease, so they could be seen by a wider audience and maintained by the Gallery. “The idea came about in 2007 or 2008, when the CSMVS had its first International exhibition based on the Indian life and landscape,” said Dr Godrej. The collection was put together in association with Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the director general of CSMVS, who promised to make permanent space in the museum for the collection.

  • Chandore’ in India’S Western Ghats Ancient Asia – Using Ethno-Historic Study and Sculptural Details As Complementary Factors to Spatial Techniques
    Gokhale, P and Dalal, K F 2018 Spatial Study of ‘Chandore’ in India’s Western Ghats Ancient Asia – Using Ethno-historic Study and Sculptural Details as Complementary Factors to Spatial Techniques. Ancient Asia, 9: 2, pp. 1–7, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/aa.150 RESEARCH PAPER Spatial Study of ‘Chandore’ in India’s Western Ghats – Using Ethno-historic Study and Sculptural Details as Complementary Factors to Spatial Techniques Pallavee Gokhale* and Kurush F. Dalal† The ancient temple complex site at Chandhore in the Western Ghats of India was discovered in 2011. Subsequent excavations at the site revealed successive occupation from the Shilahara Period (1100 CE), to the Bahmani, Adilshahi, and Maratha Periods (1500 CE – 1800 CE). A stela like element bearing a motif of a cow suckling a calf were discovered at various locations at the site and its environs. Some of these showed an exceedingly fine level of craftsmanship whilst others were crude and devoid of inscriptions. These stelae/pillars are referred to as Gaay-vaasru (Cow-Calf) pillars. These stelae were found at random locations such as the backyard of a house, abandoned hillslopes, roadside pavements, etc. Understanding the significance of the erection of such pillars at these locations was the main objective of this project. Spatial techniques complemented by textual references, iconographic interpretations, etc. were used to achieve this objective. Keywords: Cow; Calf; Landgrant; Copper-plate; Shilahara; Konkan; Historical Archaeology; Early Medieval Introduction techniques. It became evident that the changes in landuse Archaeology in the Indian context is tightly knit with his- and landcover pattern over many centuries had changed torical as well as present local cultures of the areas.
