Historical Place Uperkot Fort Junagarh ( Guajrat )

Gujarat Patel Group  

Historical Place Uperkot Fort Junagarh ( Guajrat ) 

Uperkot Fort (Junagarh)

Uperkot Fort is believed to have been constructed by the Yadavas (the clan to which Krishna belonged) when they came to settle in Dwarka. Famous in bygone times for its virtual inaccessibility, the Uperkot or upper fort is girdled by a wall that is, in some places, over 20m. high. An ornate entrance gateway leads to the ruins.

Although extensively renovated and extended many times during the course of its long chequered past, its antiquarian outlook remains intact to this day.

Attractions

Cannons
The fort has many interesting exhibits like the two cannons placed on the western wall and believed to have been cast in Egypt. The bigger one is the colossal 5 m long cannon called 'Nilam Tope'. It was cast in Egypt in 1531 AD and left behind by a Turkish admiral who was assisting the Sultan of Gujarat against the Portuguese at Diu in 1538 AD. The other cannon is known as 'Kadanal'.

Step Wells: There are also two interesting large step wells ('vavs') here. The 11th century Navghan Kuva has a circular stairway that descends over 50m down into the well. The Adi Chandi Vav descends down 170 steps.

Buddhist Caves
The fort has many exciting exhibits like the two guns placed on the western wall and believed to have been cast in Egypt. The bigger one is called the Nilamtope and the other one is known as Kadanal. In and around the fort one can find numerous Buddhist caves belonging to the 200 B.C. to 200 A.D era.

In the Uperkot is a two storied cave said to belong to the initial century which is believed to be a Buddhist Chaitya cave. There are also Buddhist caves at Bava Pyara Math found below the Southern walls of Uperkot arranged in three rows. Scholars believe that they are Buddhist caves perhaps belonging to the period between 200 B.C to 200 A.D.

Historical Place The Toran of Vadnagar ( Guajrat )

Gujarat Patel Group  

Historical Place The Toran of Vadnagar ( Guajrat ) 

The Toran of Vadnagar

Location : Vad Nagar, Gujarat. Also Called As : Kirti Stambha. Height : 40 Feet. Initially : Part Of A Temple.

The 'Toran', called the 'Kirti Stambha' (Temple Arch) in other regions, is a semi-religious or civic form that flourished under the Solanki rule in Gujarat. Two of the finest examples are at Vadnagar. At one time, both must have been connected with a temple, not a outline of which now remains.

Of the two, the one that stood at what was the edifice of Rewah, is a accurately imposing structure. Almost complete and a classic example of its kind, it rises to a total height of 40 feet. It consists of two huge and elaborate columns, supporting a wide cornice, above which rises a vaulted pediment, containing figures.
The Design of The Pillars
The pillars are designed with an upper storey or attic, between which is thrown an attractive cusped arch, making the effect of an archway more apparent. All the parts forming the 'toran' are devised on the same principles as those employed in the temple design.

Gujarat Patel Group  

Historical Place Sharad Baug Palace ( Guajrat ) 

Sharad Baug Palace
Location : Gujarat. Built In : 1867 AD. Important Feature : Part of It Has Been Converted Into A Museum. Orchard Retreat of : Maharao Madan Sinh.

The Sharad Baug Palace situated to the east of Hamirsar Lake was the orchard retreat of Maharao Madan Sinh, who signed the treaty of succession and commissioned the Kandla port. It is an Italian style mansion.

Set in spacious and marvelously tended gardens, the palace itself, built in 1867, is of very modest proportions, with just a drawing room downstairs and bedroom upstairs.

The Interiors
Some of the rooms are now a museum with old furniture, colonial trappings, portraits, stuffed tigers, elephants tusks, silver caskets, old utensils and trophies won by Madan Sinh in tennis and other sports.

The dining room is in a separate building and on display here are a number of the Maharao's personal possessions. Also on display is his coffin, in which his body was brought back from the U.K. for cremation! The Maharao of Kachchh Shri Madansinhji Jadeja - the last Maharao died in the United Kingdom in 1991.

The Lush Gardens
The great gardens of Sharad Baug Palace have nurseries for various plants, and grass courts to which leading tennis players were regularly invited. One can saunter down leafy paths overhung with hibiscus and waving palms: migrant birds call from their hideaways, relaxing after their long flight across the deserted Rann of Kachchh. Sharad Baug Palace, unlock to guests who can buy plants from its nursery, is the most relaxing and verdant of the royal palaces in Bhuj; as else where the city palace complex is completely surrounded by other buildings.

Timings
Sharad Baug Palace is open from 9 am-12 pm and 3 pm-6 pm daily, except on Fridays.

Historical Place Sarkhej Minarets Ahmedabad ( Guajrat )

Gujarat Patel Group  

Historical Place Sarkhej Minarets Ahmedabad ( Guajrat ) 

Shaking Minarets

Location : Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Part of : Sidi Bashir Mosque.
Unique Feature : On Shaking One Minaret, Other Also Shakes.

The Shaking Minarets are two minarets located at the Sidi Bashir mosque, near the Sarangpur Gate and about 1.5 kilometers south of railway station of Ahmedabad city, in the state of Gujarat. They are uniquely designed in a way that when one minaret is shaken the other one shakes too.

Unique Feature
If one of the minaret is shaken the other vibrates too, as if following the principal of resonance. In a trial, a small ball was hung to one of the minarets and when the other minaret was shaken, the hanging ball on the other exhibited swinging effect.

The famous shaking minarets aroused so much curiosity in British rulers that one of the minaret was dismantled by them, in vain, to fathom the secret of its construction and the mystery behind the swinging effect.

The Architecture
This is a unique historical architectural marvel in the state of Gujarat. Each minaret is three storeyed with delicately carved balanced stone balconies, which girdle the minarets of each storey. These minarets are about 21.34 meters high.

Mystery About its Original Builder
Though popularly named after Sidi Bashir, a favourite slave of Sultan Ahmad Shah I, it is perhaps likely, the designer was Malik Sarang, a noble of Sultan Mahmud Shah Begada's court in whose name the adjoining locality of Sarangpur was built. Malik Sarang was a Rajput Hindu converted to Islam under the influence of Sultan and soon after became the Governor of Ahmedabad , in 1521 AD, during the reign of Muzaffar Shah II (1511-1526 AD). Popularly these are called as Siddi Bashir Minars.

Historical Place Sarkhej Monuments Ahmedabad ( Guajrat ) 

Sarkhej Monuments (Ahmedabad)

Location : Patan, Gujarat.
On The Bank of : River Saraswati.
Built By : Siddharaja Jaisinh.
Area : 17 Hectares.

The Pious Dargah
The well-known saint, Makhdum Shaikh Ahmed Khattu, a believer of Baba Ishq Maghribi of Khattu, established and died at Sarkhej, about 10 km south-west of Ahmedabad . Construction on a 'dargah' and mosque were begun in 1446, under Mohammad Shah II, and completed in the reign of Sultan Qutub-Ud-Din Ahmed Shah.

The 'dargah', the largest of its kind in Gujarat, has a plinth area of 31.70 m, and is roofed by a large dome. It also has surrounding rows of 13 pillars on each side. The walls are broken up into two storeys, and perforated stonework of great variety fills up the spaces above and below the dividing stones. The inner central square is partitioned by screen walls, perforated in steel and metal, with a door in similar workmanship.

The Architecture
A covered entrance leads from the 'dargah' into the mosque, which is to the west. The mosque has a roof of uniform height. Five big domes in a row, and 40 smaller ones, symmetrically disposed, correspond to the pillared squares within.

The roof is supported by 120 pillars of the same pattern. The mosque has an elegant simplicity; the columnar style adopted here appears to be on purpose, and compares favourably with the arched façade of other mosques in and around Ahmedabad . The ablution tank is situated in an enclosed alley, at half the height of the roof. Access to the roof is through a porch, in the thickness of the wall.

The tomb of Sultan Mohmud Begada is also part of the Sarkhej Complex. Stonework covers the pillars on three sides of the tomb, except for the east. A balcony window projects into the tank.

The Dome
The tomb has a dome of 6.4 m diameter, carried on 12 inner pillars and containing tombs on raised platforms. This is successively surrounded by a second and third square of 20 and 28 pillars, respectively. The root has, besides the major dome, 16 outer, smaller domes.

Sarkhej has an artificial lake, too.
HOW TO GET THERE

Road : Sarkhej, which lies on the outskirts of Ahmedabad , is easily reachable by road. City bus services are available, as well.

Historical Place Rudra Mahal Sidhpur ( Guajrat )

Gujarat Patel Group  

Historical Place Rudra Mahal Sidhpur ( Guajrat ) 

Rudra Mahal (Sidhpur)
Location : Sidhpur, Gujarat.
Dedicated To : Lord Shiva.
Built By : Mulraj.

The Rudra Mahal at Sidhpur was conceived and constructed as a honor to Mahadev, by the first Solanki king of Gujarat, Mulraj. Construction of the Rudra Mahal started probably in 983 AD and took 175 years to complete. Twenty years after ascending to the throne, Mulraj had put his kingdom into order, and was in a position to turn to more unworldly things. Mulraj decided that the bank of the river Saraswati was a fitting site for the temple. The 150 yard long and 135 yard wide temple also had 11 smaller temples, and three 40-feet high gates. Approximately ten years after the work on the temple had started, Mulraj breathed his last. The succeeding four generations did nothing to further the work. The fifth generation, Siddharaja Jaisinh, restarted the work on the structure. After 14 years of incessant work, the temple was finally completed.

The Architecture
The main temple in the complex was 150 ft x 100 ft, the largest temple, then, Somnath, was by comparison much smaller; a mere 130 feet x 75 feet the main temple had a three-storey high foyer. It is said that the entire structure rested on 1600 pillars.

Historical Place Rani Ni Vav Patan ( Guajrat )

Gujarat Patel Group  

Historical Place Rani Ni Vav Patan ( Guajrat ) 

Rani Ni Vav
Location : Patan, Gujarat. Built By : Rani Udaymati.
Built In Memory of : Bhimdeva. Significance : Most Elaborately Adorned Step Well In India.
The ornate Stepwell
Step-wells, subterranean structures with steps leading down to the water level, are found in large numbers in the arid regions of Gujarat and Rajasthan . They started as simple structures, and in course of time, evolved to become complex, aesthetically pleasing works of art. The Rani-Ni-Vav at Patan, is one such monument.

The 'Vav' was built during the reign of Rani Udaymati of the Solanki Dynasty, probably as a memorial for her husband Bhimdeva I (1022-1063 AD), it is about 134 kms northwest of Ahmedabad , and about 57 kms from Mehsana.

No other 'Vav' or step well in India is so profusely adorned as the Rani-Ni-Vav. More than 800 sculptures form a remarkable backdrop to what was purely a functional structure.
The Architectural Delight
The Rani-Ni-Vav forms the link between a 'kunda' and the now classical step-well. This is due to the fact that in addition to the straight staircase, it also has lateral staircases, along with very broad, stepped corridors.

The 'Vav' is laid out in an east-west direction, with the entrance in the east and the well in the west. Though it is in a dilapidated condition, the entrance, the side-walls of the stepped corridor, some of the 'mandapas' and the back wall of the well are still intact. Five lateral, staggered staircases attached to be side-walls connect various storeys.
Sculptures of Deities
The 'Vav' is very rich in sculptures. Each level is profusely adorned with carved friezes and deities. Sculptures of deities in recessed and projecting niches cover all sides of the well. The lower most level has 37 niches with rudimentary images of Lord Ganesh in the centre. The images of Sheshashayi Vishnu in the central niches, on the upper levels, are more elaborate.

Also, on the upper levels, are impressive images of Laxmi-Narayana, Uma-Mahesh, Brahma-Brahmi, and Kuber and Ganesh, with their respective consorts. On the lower levels, are the images of Vishnu's incarnations and 24 forms. Interestingly, however, despite the fact that the 'Vav' is a water structure, the 'Kurma' and the 'Matsya' incarnations do not find a place.

Gujarat Patel Group  

Historical Place Madanbsihji Museum ( Guajrat ) 

Madanbsihji Museum

Location : Bhuj, Gujarat. Housed In : Aina Mahal. Established in : 1977 AD.

The heritage of Kachchh art and culture is displayed in the Madansihji Museum (Aina Mahal) Bhuj. The last ruler of Kachchh Maharao Madansinhji established the Maharao of Kachchh Aina Mahal Trust on 1st January, 1977. Aina Mahal means a 'mirror palace'. It was created by the artists Ramsinh & Gaidhar Devshi in the period of Maharao Lakhpatji (1752-61).

In 1757, visited the emperor Alamgir in Delhi. He was graced with the title of 'Mahi Maratib'. He welcomed foreigners in his court. Fortune brought him a man named Ramsingh Malam who specialized in Kachchhi architecture, enamel work, jewellery, tile work and interior decoration.
Aina Mahal
The speciality of Ramsingh is the Hall of Mirrors in the Aina Mahal. The walls are white marble covered with mirror which are separated by gilded ornaments. The hall is lit by elaborate pendant candelabra with shades of Venetian glass. The hall of mirrors is on the second floor of the Aina Mahal but Ramsingh devised ingenious pumps and siphons to raise water to fill the pleasure pool and to operate fountains, which cast spray in an intricate variety of patterns charming the eye and cooling the air.
Artifacts
The small state residence, carpeted with exquisite Kachchhi silk embroidery, its walls paneled high with the same priceless fabrics still contains Maharao Lakhpatji's bed. The hall is filled with a miscellaneous collection of objects; a Dutch Clock, English and French celestial globes, some antique pictures, mechanical toys, glass and china. On the walls of the corridor are a variety of pictures, some European and many Indian. The Aina Mahal alone cost eight million kories and was only one of the many enterprises which the Maharao and Ramsingh undertook together.
