  • India As Revealed in the Inscriptions It Is Necessary to First Deal with the Geographical and Geological Features of the Re
    CHAPTER I Buddhist Centres of western India Before we make a description of the Buddhist centres of w. India as revealed in the inscriptions it is necessary to first deal with the geographical and geological features of the re­ gion as they are the prime factors for the very existence of the Buddhist rock-cut caves* Other contributing factors such as the passes, trade-routes and climatic condition should also be seen as the flourish and prosperity of the Buddhist establishments depended upon them. A. Geographical Features The centres of rock-cut architecture with inscriptions under study are located in the western and southwestern parts of the present State of Maharashtra, between 16 to 21 N and 73 to 76 E. This region consists of two major relief divisions, the plateau and the coastal strip. The two are intervened by the Sahyadrian chain of mountains, and crossed by several parallel hilly ranges emitting almost perpendicularly on either side of that chain.* The coastal strip in Maharashtra comprises of the districts of Ratnagiri in the south, Raigad in the middle and Thana in the north. These districts are flanked by the Arabian sea in the west and the Sahyadrian wall in the east. Konkan is an undulating land characterized by low level plateaus of laterite, estuarine plains of rivers, transverse ridges having medium to low heights and some isolated hills. The characteristics of the coastal areas are the alternating bays and headlands providing a number of natural har­ bours. The north konkan has a flat surface of loam and alluvial soils which prompt easy exploitation by man.

E XECUT IV E S UMMARY Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is based on the principle that the impacts of disasters can be reduced through appropriate preparedness, planning and management actions. The range of measures utilized in DRM policies, strategies and actions are ultimately meant to contribute to the safety and well-being of communities, at the same time protecting assets and development gains and improving services to population. The Disaster Risk Management Master Plan (DRMMP) is an analytical model based on international standards which is being prepared for Mumbai that will guide Mumbai in efficiently mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at the local level through a coherent set of policies, strategies and actions. The collaborative and participatory planning process adopted in the development of the DRMMP ensures consensus and ownership among the stakeholders and enables long term institutional sustainability. By adopting the DRMMP as a management tool for disaster risk management, Mumbai will be able to mobilize institutional and community resources and provide a coherent and efficient approach of actions prior, during and after a disaster.

  • Rock Cut Architecture During Harappan Civilization
    Rock Cut Architecture During Harappan Civilization Dholavira is an archaeological site in Kutch District, in the state of Gujarat in western India, which has taken its name from a modern-day village 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of it. This village is 165 km (103 mi) from Radhanpur. Also known locally as Kotada timba, the site contains ruins of an ancient Indus Valley Civilization/Harappan city. It is one of the five largest Harappan sites and most prominent archaeological sites in India belonging to the Indus Valley Civilization. It is also considered as having been the grandest of cities of its time. It is located on Khadir bet island in the Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary in the Great Rann of Kutch. The quadrangular city lay between two seasonal streams, the Mansar in the north and Manhar in the south. The site was occupied from c.2650 BCE, declining slowly after about 2100 BCE. It was briefly abandoned then reoccupied until c.1450 BCE. The site was discovered in 1967-68 by J. P. Joshi, of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and is the fifth largest of eight major Harappan sites. It has been under excavation since 1990 by the ASI, which opinedd that Dholavira has indeed added new dimensions to personality of Indus Valley Civilisation. The other major Harappan sites discovered so far are Harappa, Mohenjo- daro, Ganeriwala, Rakhigarhi, Kalibangan, Rupnagar and Lothal. Reservoirs: R S Bisht, who retired as the Joint Director-General of the ASI, said, "The kind of efficient system of Harappans of Dholavira, developed for conservation, harvesting and storage of water speaks eloquently about their advanced hydraulic engineering, given the state of technology in the third millennium BCE." One of the unique features of Dholavira is the sophisticated water conservation system of channels and reservoirs, the earliest found anywhere in the world, built completely of stone.

  • Late Hinayana Buddhism and the Transition Figures at Kanheri
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Late Hinayana Buddhism and the Transition to Mahayana: A Study of the Early Buddhist Samgha and the Buddha Figures at Kanheri SURAJ A. PANDIT HE Kanheri caves, the more than one hundred caves situated in the vicinity Tof Mumbai, are one of the major monastic cave sites in western India. The site—with its architectural grace, epigraphical glory, and sculptural master­ pieces—tells the history of the Buddhism as existed there for more than a mil­ lennium. The history of Kanheri begins in the first century B.C.E. and is divided into three different phases based on the dynastic control there, as drawn from the epigraphical data from the site: Phase I: First century B.C.E. to fourth century C.E. Phase II: Fifth century to sixth century. Phase III: Seventh century to ninth century. During Phase One, the area was under the control of the Satavahana dynasty. Phase Two can be labeled the Traikutaka-Maurya period.1 During Phase 1 Owing to the discovery of a copperplate mentioning the Traikutaka rule, this phase can be labeled as the Traikutaka period; however, there is some debate about the era in which the copperplate was produced. This is the period (i.e., the late fifth century C.E. [after the decline of the Vakatakas in Vidarbha] and early sixth century C.E.) allotted to the Konkan Mauryas by some scholars. In light of this, the author has chosen to label this phase as the Traikutaka- Maurya to avoid any controversy.
