This project was made possible by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities; The Inter Documentation Company, Leiden; The Ohio State University, College of the Arts; and The Ohio State University Office of Research. Deepest gratitude is expressed to each of these sources of support. My deepest thanks go to Janice Leoshko, who first served as Archivist for this project, and to Janice Glowski, who completed the work. Without the hard work and care shown by these individuals, this project would not have reached fruition. Thanks are also due to John C. Huntington, who compiled and drew the map that accompanies this Archive. Deep appreciation is also due to the major contributors of photographs in the archive, who are, in alphabetical order: Frederick M. Asher (A), John C. Huntington and Susan L. Huntington (H), and Janice Leoshko (L). Initials in parentheses indicate the designation for these individuals used in the identification of the photo source in the captions. Other individuals who contributed photographs include Pattaratorn Chirapravati, Parween Hasan, and Claudine Picron. Photographs contributed by these individuals were taken with the kind permission of the Archaeological Survey of India, the Archaeological Department of Bangladesh, Department of Ancient History of Patna University.

Museum or collection. Editor's Preface Material. Size. Fiche number. Record number. Source of photo. Negative number. Captions are printed in boldface type, although lines that contain italicized words are not in bold due to the limitations of the computer program.. Diacritics were not used in order to facilitate computer searches,. For the most part, information about the subjects of the photographs follows museum labels. Information about provenance has not been independently verified except in a few cases.. Incorrect iconographic identifications have been changed only in obvious cases. When objects could not be measured, estimates of sizes were sometimes provided by individual photographers.. Conversions for estimates given in inches suggest greater precision than intended by the original estimators. Photographs are organized in the following sequences: For India: By state, alphabetically; within states by districts alphabetically; within districts, by sites alphabetically,. For Bangladesh: By districts alphabetically; within districts by sites alphabetically.. In some cases, alphabetical order was abandoned to accommodate a more sensible arrangement of a particular group of materials.. For, architectural materials, site views occur first, followed by individual monuments. Photographs of buildings and multisided works are arranged in a clockwise pattern. The order for sculptures is as follows: stone, then metal, then other material.. Within each medium, Buddhist materials occur first, then Hindu, and then other materials,. Buddhist objects are arranged as follows: Buddha figures (standing, then seated, each by mudra); Buddhas, crowned (standing, then seated, each by mudra); Bodhisattvas (standing, followed by seated); Female figures (standing, followed by seated); miscellaneous materials. Hindu materials are arranged in the following order: Siva and Saivite, Visnu and Vaisnavite, Surya, other male deities, and female deities.. Jain works of art occur after Hindu objects, followed by miscellaneous materials. Susan L..

  • Cast and Baradri System and Voting Behavior in Pakistan (Elections 2018): a Case Study of Hafizabad District
    Cast and Baradri System and Voting Behavior in Pakistan (Elections 2018): A Case Study of Hafizabad District Karim Haider Muhammad Arshad Ali This study scrutinizes the impact of caste and Baradri system on voting behavior evolving from Pakistan’s general elections of 2018. Traditionally, the caste and Baradari system have been playing a substantial role in the elections of Pakistan since its birth especially in the region of Punjab. After the partition the evolution and modernization of electoral system and introduction of democratic institution in Pakistan never fully changed the customary value-system of the society of Punjab which is largely based on caste and Baradari system. With specific reference to caste and Baradari system in Punjab, an analytical research has been made to understand profound origins of Caste and Baradari System and its impact on the voting behavior of four selected constituencies, one of National Assembly and three of Provincial Assembly of Punjab in one of the districts of province of Punjab in general elections of 2018. Further, this study explains that the Punjab is based on social divergence with national political culture; therefore, the people of Punjab always look standing with the authoritarian rule which begins from family system and ends at national politics of Pakistan. Having majority seats in National Assembly the role of Punjab is very important and study about the voting behavior of the people of Punjab has special reference to national politics. Introduction Baradari defined as “brotherhood” initiated by the Persian language word Baradar meaning “brother”. Muslims of south Asian region especially in India and Pakistan, a large number of socialclasses are separated on the origin of Biradaris.

  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • A Critical Analysis of Narrative Art on Baranagar Temple Facades
    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935) Indexed by Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, ERIHPLUS Special Conference Issue (Vol. 12, No. 5, 2020. 1-18) from 1st Rupkatha International Open Conference on Recent Advances in Interdisciplinary Humanities (rioc.rupkatha.com) Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V12/n5/rioc1s16n2.pdf DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v12n5.rioc1s16n2 Unraveling the Social Position of Women in Late-Medieval Bengal: A Critical Analysis of Narrative Art on Baranagar Temple Facades Bikas Karmakar1 & Ila Gupta2 1Assistant Professor, Government College of Art & Craft Calcutta [email protected] 2Former Professor, Department of Architecture & Planning, IIT Roorkee [email protected] Abstract The genesis of the present study can be traced to an aspiration to work on the narratives of religious architecture. The Terracotta Temples of Baranagar in Murshidabad, West Bengal offer a very insightful vantage point in this regard. The elaborate works of terracotta on the facades of these temples patronized by Rani Bhabani during the mid-eighteenth century possess immense narrative potential to reconstruct the history of the area in the given time period. The portrayals on various facets of society, environment, culture, religion, mythology, and space and communication systems make these temples exemplary representatives for studying narrative art. While a significant portion of the temple facades depicts gods, goddesses, and mythological stories, the on-spot study also found a substantial number of plaques observed mainly on the base friezes representing the engagement of women in various mundane activities. This study explores the narrative intentions of such portrayals. The depictions incorporated are validated with various types of archival evidence facilitating cross-corroboration of the sources.

  • Seismic Vulnerability of Some Historical Masonry Mosques in Bangladesh
    4th Annual Paper Meet and 1st Civil Engineering Congress, December 22-24, 2011, Dhaka, Bangladesh ISBN: 978-984-33-4363-5 Noor, Amin, Bhuiyan, Chowdhury and Kakoli (eds) www.iebconferences.info Seismic vulnerability of some historical masonry mosques in Bangladesh M.A. Noor Department of Civil Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh M. Kamruzzaman Department of Civil Technology, Chittagong Polytechnic Institute, Chittgong, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Ancient masonry structures are particularly vulnerable to dynamic actions, especially seismic actions. Although no major earthquakes occur in this country in the last few decades, during the past large earthquakes the masonry structures of this country behaved poorly. This paper presents a contribution to the safety assessment of historical masonry mosques located in different districts of Bangladesh. The approach used here aims at a simple, fast, and low cost procedure suggested by Lourenco and Oliveira based on a sim- plified geometric approach for immediate screening of the large number of mosques at risk. The proposed geometrical indices of monuments are compared with the respective seismic hazard, expressed by the PGA. The objective is to evaluate the possibility of adopting simple indexes related to geometrical data as a first (and very fast) screening technique to define priority for further studies. 1 INTRODUCTION In 1897, an earthquake of magnitude 8.7 caused serious damages to buildings in the northeastern part of India (including Bangladesh) and 1542 people were killed. The epicenter was at 230 kms from Dhaka City. During this earthquake almost all existing masonry structures of Bangladesh were either partially or fully destroyed. Figure 1 presents an isoseismal map showing the area under which the masonry structures were affected (An- sary & Noor 2005).

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.

Bhattacharya Learning to Serve Administrative Training Institute Page 2 of 2 Government of West Bengal Page 3 of 3 ATI Monograph 13/2006 For restricted circulation A Probationer’s Training Diary TITLE PAGE P. Bhattacharya Learning to Serve Administrative Training Institute Government of West Bengal Page 4 of 4 Block FC, Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) Kolkata-700106 Page 5 of 5 PREFACE New entrants to the Indian Administrative Service and the West Bengal Civil Service (Executive) have to maintain a Training Diary as part of their district training. While supervising their work in the districts, the ATI faculty has found that in the majority of cases the probationers do not maintain their diaries properly, although these are intended to be records of the details of the training they undergo so that superior officers can check whether they have assimilated the proper lessons from the exposure in the field. During interactions with their Counsellors in the ATI, the trainees have complained that they are handicapped by not having an example to follow. A similar handicap has been reported regarding writing reports of enquiries assigned to probationers in the district. In view of this feedback, the ATI is publishing the diary I maintained in detail as probationer in Malda in 1972, trusting that it will provide civil service probationers with an example of how a training diary can be maintained. We were supposed to send the National Academy of Administration an official training diary and also maintain a personal one.
