Ashokan Rock Edicts (Junagadh)

Location : Junagadh, Gujarat.
Built By : Ashoka.
Contains : 14 Edicts
Issued By : Ashoka.

Ashoka's edicts, issued after his switch to Buddhism, were designed to bring about large-scale recognition of Buddhism. In pillar edict 6, he had mentioned that he started issuing these edicts 12 years after his coronation. Fourteen such edicts have been found near the edge of the Sudarshan Lake, about half a mile to the east of Junagadh. The inscriptions on these edicts are in the Prakrit dialect. The script used for these edicts used to vary with the need of the region, but was largely Brahmi or Kharoshthi. The Junagadh rocks cover all the 14 edicts that Ashoka had issued. They are in a western dialect, with many Magadhi words resembling Pali.

EDICTS ORDERS

The edicts record the following orders:

• Human beings shall not be sacrificed. Futile festivities and gatherings to be banned.
• Setting up of medical facilities for humans and animals
• Instructing government servants to perform their duties.
• Elaboration of edict 3.
• Dharma Mahamantris to enforce edicts.
• Unlimited access to the king for all subjects.
• All religions to live in harmony.
• No hunting or pleasure tours; tours being only for Dharma.
• Superstitious rituals being dismissed as trivial and meaningless.
• Saying no to corruption.
• Listing of the 'dharmic' (religi0ous) acts that produce great results; what one should do for friends, relatives, well-wishers.
• All sects to be honoured.
• Dharma is the most important thing in life.
• An epilogue of the preceding 13 edicts, it surveys their compositional features. These edicts, preserved in the Girnar hills, bear testimony to the benevolent attitude and activities of the emperor.

It has a platform above it surrounded by a series of fountains operated by an elaborated system of pumps below a Venetian chandelier.

Historical Place Adalaj Vav Ahmedabad ( Guajrat )

Adalaj Vav Location : 18 Kms North of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Meaning : Step Well.
Built By : Ruda, Wife Of Vaghela Chief Virsinh.
Built In : 15/16th Century AD.

Adalaj is a village 18 kms to the north of Ahmedabad . The 'Vav' (step-well) at Adalaj derives its name from the lady patron, Ruda, wife of the Vaghela chief, Virsinh; who built it in the 15th or 16th century AD. The 'Vav', laid out in the north-south direction, the step well with the well in the north and the entrance in the south, has a total extent of 75.3 meters. It is the only major monument of its kind, having three entrance stairs leading to the stepped hall. These three entrances assemble in the first storey, underground, in a huge square platform. The platform has an octagonal opening on the top.

The Structure
The platform rests on 16 pillars, eight on the corners, and two in front of each main side. Four built-in shrines, with doors, windows and balconies, mark the four corners of the platform. The stepped corridor begins from this square platform. The corridor is entirely surrounded by a one-meter high ramparts wall with a rounded topping. It descends with four pavilion towers for five storeys. The walls of the 'Vav' are veritable showcases of sculptures and ornamentation. The sculptures range from a king sitting on a stool under a parasol, to erotic scenes; and from ladies churning buttermilk to dancing girls. The frames of the doors around the entrances of the twisting staircases to the octagonal shaft are surrounded by a 'parikrama', which is an enlarged version of the frames around the niches. Stringcourses running along the sidewalls embellish all parts of the structure, sometimes dividing the wall into horizontal sections. They also come into view on the walls of the octagonal shaft, depicting floral or leaf patterns, or rows of animals.

Wonders of the World (Hindi)

विश्व के सात नए अजूबे – New Seven Wonders of the World

2,200 साल पहले यूनानी विद्वानों द्वारा बनाई गई विश्व के सात अजूबों की सूची को 07 जुलाई, 2007 (07-07-07) को दुबारा संशोधित किया गया. चूंकि पुरानी इमारतों में से अधिकांश टूट-फूट चुकी हैं इसलिए इंटरनेट के माध्यम से 1999 से शुरु हुई एक प्रतियोगिता के जरिए इस नई सूची को बनाया गया. 2005 से इसके लिए मतदान शुरु हुए जिसमें  दुनियाभर के लोगों ने हिस्सा लिया.

दुनिया के नए अजूबे अपने निर्माण और लोगों में लोकप्रियता की वजह से इस मुकाम तक पहुंचे हैं. दुनिया के सात नए अजूबे कुछ इस प्रकार से हैं :

1.  क्राइस्ट द रिडीमर (Christ the Redeemer): ब्राजील के रियो डि जनेरियो (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) में पहाड़ी के ऊपर स्थित 130 फुट ऊंची ‘क्राइस्ट द रिडीमर’ (Christ the Redeemer) अर्थात ‘उद्धार करने वाले ईसा मसीह’ की मूर्ति दुनिया की दूसरी सबसे बड़ी मूर्ति है. यह मूर्ति कंक्रीट और पत्थर से बनाई गई है. यह ईसा मसीह की इस संसार में सबसे बड़ी मूर्ति है. इसका निर्माण 1922 से 1931 के बीच हुआ. यह बहुत ही नवीन है. रात के समय इसका नजारा अद्वितीय होता है.

2. चीन की दीवार (Great Wall of China): चीन ने अपनी सुस्रक्षा के लिए अपनी सभी सीमाओं को एक दीवार से घेर दिया था जिसे चीन की दीवार कहते हैं. यह दीवार 5वीं सदी ईसा पूर्व में बननी चालू हुई थी और 16 वीं सदी तक बनती रही. यह चीन की उत्तरी सीमा पर बनाई गयी थी ताकि मंगोल आक्रमणकारियों को चीन के अंदर आने से रोका जा सके. यह संसार की सबसे लम्बी मानव निर्मित रचना है जो लगभग 4000 मील (6,400 किलोमीटर) तक फैली है. इसकी सबसे ज्यादा ऊंचाई 35 फुट है जो इसे सुरक्षा देती है. यह दीवार इतनी चौड़ी है कि इस पर 5 घुड़सवार या 10 पैदल सैनिक गश्त लगा सकते हैं.

3. जार्डन का ‘पेट्रा’ (Petra): ऐतिहासिक शहर पेट्रा अपनी विचित्र वास्तुकला के लिए दुनिया के सात अजूबों में शामिल है. यहां तरह तरह की इमारतें है जो लाल बलुआ पत्थर से बनी हैं और सब पर बेहतरीन नक्काशी की गई है. इसमें 138 फुट ऊंचा मंदिर, नहरें, पानी के तालाब तथा खुला स्टेडियम है. ‘पेट्रा’ जॉर्डन के लिए विशेष महत्व रखता है क्यूंकि यह उसकी कमाई का जरिया है. ‘पेट्रा’ पर्यटन के लिहाज से जॉर्डन के लिए सोने के अंडे देने वाली मुर्गी है.

4. ताजमहल (Tajmahal): दुनिया में प्यार से प्यारा और खूबसूरत एहसास कुछ नहीं होता. प्यार की इसी खूबसूरती को इमारत की शक्ल दी भारत के मुगल बादशाह शाहजहां ने. शाहजहां ने अपनी बेगम मुमताज महल की याद में ताजमहल बनवाया था. यह 1632 में बना और 15 साल में पूरा हुआ. उसने अपने जीवन के अंतिम दिन कैद में से ताजमहल को देखते हुए बिताए थे. यह खूबसूरत गुंबदों वाला महल चारों तरफ बगीचों से घिरा है. क्षितिज पर इसके ताज के आकार के अलावा कुछ नजर नहीं आता और मुगल शिल्पकला का यह सबसे बढ़िया उदाहरण माना जाता है.

5.  रोम का कॉलोसियम (Colosseum of Rome) : यह एक विशाल खेल स्टेडियम है. जिसे लगभग 70 सदी में सम्राट वेस्पेसियन (Vespasian) ने बनाना चालू किया था. इसमें 50,000 तक लोग इकट्‌ठे होकर जंगली जानवरों और गुलामों की खूनी लड़ाइयों के खेल देखते थे. इस स्टेडियम में सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम भी होते थे. इस स्टेडियम की नकल करना आज तक नामुमकिन है. इंजीनियरों के लिए अब तक यह एक पहेली बना हुआ है.

6.  माचू पिच्चू (Machu Picchu): 15वीं शताब्दी में सतह से 2430 मीटर ऊपर यानि एक पहाड़ी के ऊपर बने एक शहर में रहना और उस शहर को बनाना अपने आप में अजूबा ही है. दक्षिण अमरीका में एंडीज पर्वतों के बीच बसा ‘माचू पिच्चू शहर’ पुरानी इंका सभ्यता का सबसे बड़ा उदाहरण है. माना जाता है कि कभी यह नगरी संपन्न थी पर स्पेन के आक्रमणकारी अपने साथ चेचक जैसी बीमारी यहां ले आए जिससे यह शहर पूरी तरह तबाह हो गया.

7.  चिचेन इत्जा (Chichen Itza): मेक्सिको में बसी चिचेन इत्जा नामक यह इमारत दुनिया में माया सभ्यता के गौरवपूर्ण काल की गाथा गाती है. उस समय के कुशल कारीगरों की मेहनत को यह इमारत अपने आप में संजोयी हुई है. शहर के बीचोबीच कुकुलकन का मंदिर है जो 79 फीट की ऊंचाई तक बना है. इसकी चार दिशाओं में 91 सीढ़ियां हैं. प्रत्येक सीढ़ी साल के एक दिन का प्रतीक है और 365 वां दिन ऊपर बना चबूतरा है.

यह दुनिया बहुत सुन्दर है. प्रकृति ने अपने रंग से इस दुनियां को बहुत ही रंगीन बनाया है. समुद्र, पहाड़ और जमीन के मिलन से प्रकृति ने कुछ ऐसा नजारा हमारे लिए तैयार किया है जिसकी कल्पना करना इंसान के लिए कभी-कभी सपने जैसा हो जाता है. दुनियां में प्रकृति ने इतना रंग घोला है कि इंसान में भी इसे और सुन्दर बनाने की ललक पैदा हो गई. कभी अपनी याद के लिए तो कभी कला को समर्पण करने के लिए तो कभी किसी अन्य वजह से इंसान ने ऐसी कई रचनाएं की हैं जिनसे यह दुनिया और भी खूबसूरत बन गई है.



संसार में यूं तो इंसान द्वारा बनाई गई हजारों ऐसी कृतियां हैं जिन्हें देख आप अंचभे में पड़ जाएंगे लेकिन दुनियां के सात अजूबों की बात ही अलग है. अपनी शिल्प कला, वास्तु कला और भवन निर्माण कला के लिए दुनियां के सात अजूबे हमेशा चर्चा का विषय बने रहते हैं.



दुनियां के नए सात अजूबों को हाल ही में जोड़ा गया है किंतु क्या आप जानते हैं कि दुनियां के सात प्राचीन अजूबे कौन से थे? साथ ही दुनियां के सात नए अजूबे कौन से हैं? नहीं….? तो आपके इसी सवाल का जवाब लिए यह ब्लॉग हाजिर है.



दुनियां के सात अजूबे अपनी वास्तु कला, इतिहास और भवन निर्माण की कला में अद्भुत होने की वजह से अजूबों की सूची में शामिल होते हैं. दुनियां में सबसे प्राचीन सात अजूबों में से अभी सिर्फ एक ही इमारत शेष है और वह है गीज़ा का विशाल पिरामिड जो मिस्त्र में है.



प्राचीन दुनियां के सात अजूबों की सूची कुछ इस प्रकार है :





Great Pyramid of Gizam – गीज़ा का विशाल पिरामिड (मिस्त्र): मिस्त्र में बने इन पिरामडों की रचना एक पहेली है. फाराओह खुफु(Pharaoh Khufu) की याद में बने इस पिरामिड की खासियत यह है कि इसे पत्थरों को पानी में काट कर, एक से ऊपर एक पत्थर को रख कर बनाया गया है. पत्थरों को कुछ इस तरह से रखा गया है कि इसमें एक बाल घुसने की भी जगह नहीं है. यह अब तक समय की मार झेलता हुआ खड़ा है. गणित का इस्तेमाल कर शिल्पकारो ने इस रचना को आकार दिया था.



Hanging Gardens of Babylon- बेबीलोन के झूलते बागीचे (इराक): जैसा की नाम से लगता है यह इमारत कितनी विचित्र होगी. यह प्राचीन विश्व के सात अजूबों में से एक था. यह प्राचीन बेबीलोन में बना था जो आज इराक में अल-हिल्लह नामक स्थान के पास है. यह उद्यान यहां के राजा नबूचड्नेजार (Nebuchadnezzar II) ने 600 ईसा पूर्व बनाई थी. यह उद्यान उसने अपनी पत्नी को खुश करने के लिए बनवाया था पर समय की मार ने इस विचित्र अजूबे को दफन कर दिया. भूकंप में यह उद्यान नष्ट हो गया था.



Lighthouse of Alexandria – सिकन्दरिया का प्रकाश स्तम्भ (मिस्र): मिस्त्र में दुनियां का एक और अजूबा पाया जाता था और वह था सिकन्दरिया का प्रकाश स्तम्भ. माना जाता है समुद्री नाविकों को राह दिखाने के लिए इस प्रकाश स्तंभ की रचना की गई थी. हजारों साल पहले बनी इस इमारत की ऊंचाई 450 फीट तक बताई जाती है. मिस्त्र के देवता फराओ (Pharos) की याद में बना यह प्रकाश स्तंभ अब एक इतिहास बन कर रह गया है.



Statue of Zeus at Olympia- ओलम्पिया में जियस की मूर्ति (यूनान): ओलम्पिया में जियस की मू्र्ति प्राचीन विश्व का सात आश्चर्यो में से एक है. इस मूर्ति का निर्माण यूनानी मूर्तिकार फ़िडी्यास ने ईसा से 432 साल पहले किया था. इस मूर्ति को यूनान के ओलम्पिया में स्थित जियस के मंदिर (Temple of Zeus, Olympia, Greece) मे स्थापित किया गया था. इस मूर्ति में जियस को बैठी हुई अवस्था में दिखाया गया था. मूर्ति की उंचाई 12 मीटर थी. आग की वजह से इस इमारत को भी अब सिर्फ इतिहास के पन्नों में ही देख सकते हैं.



Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus – हैलिकारनेसस का मकबरा (तुर्की): हैलिकारनेसस में बनी यह इमारत 150 फीट ऊंची है और एक मकबरे की आकृति में है. 623 ईसा पूर्व इस इमारत की रचना की गई थी.
मौसोलस (Mausolus) नामक शासक के द्वारा बनवाई गई इस इमारत को उसके याद के रुप में जाना जाता है.



Temple of Artemis at Ephesus – आर्तिमिस का मंदिर (तुर्की): गीक्र देवता अर्तिमिस (Greek goddess Artemis) को समर्पित इस मंदिर को बनने में 120 साल लगे थे. कई हमलों की वजह से मूल मंदिर तो तबाह हो गया था.
दुबारा एलेक्जेंडर द ग्रेट (Alexander the Great) ने इसे बनवाया पर फिर एक हमलावर ने इसे नष्ट कर दिया.



रोड्‌स के कोलोसस की मूर्ति (यूनान): यूनान की एक और वास्तु कला को विश्व के सात अजूबो में गिना जाता था. रोड्‌स के कोलोसस की मूर्ति करीब 300 ईसा पूर्व निर्मित हुई थी. यह राजा रोड्‌स की साइप्रस के राजा पर मिली जीत की खुशी में बनाई गई थी. नष्ट होने से पहले इस मूर्ति की ऊंचाई लगभग 30 मीटर थी जो इसे विश्व की सबसे बड़ी इमारत बनाती थी. भूकंप की वजह से यह इमारत भी इतिहास में दफन हो गया.

The Roman Colosseum (70 – 82 A.D.) Rome, Italy

The Roman Colosseum was built about 2000 years ago and was used for Roman sports at the time, namely gladiator games in which men fought each other and animals to the death.  Because of tourists taking away pieces of it, the Pope had to forbid the removal of stone from it.  The Colosseum itself is built from blocks of travertine stone, which were taken form the quarries near Tivoli and brought to Rome on roads built just for that purpose.  The Colosseum had 45,000 sitting places and 5,000 standing places.  Under the arena was a large network of tunnels that were used for the gladiators, animals, and slaves.

The Great Wall of China (220 B.C and 1368 – 1644 A.D.) China

The Great Wall of China is the world’s longest man-made structure, reaching over 6400 km.  When it was in the height of its use during the Ming Dynasty, over one million guards manned the wall.  Because of the difficulty in transporting building material, as much local material as possible was used.  Also, workers that died in the construction were buried in the wall.  The wall is actually a joining of many smaller walls that were built up over many years.  The original wall was built using earth, stone, and wood, but during the Ming Dynasty, brick was the main building material because it was easier to work with.

Machu Picchu (1460-1470), Peru

Machu Picchu is a result of the Inca Empire.  It’s made of cut stone fitted so closely together without mortar that a knife blade can’t penetrate its cracks.  It is situated on a high ridge and is bordered by a river on three sides.  It is located in Peru.  The walls of Machu Picchu were built with details that protect it from collapsing during earthquakes, such as the doors and windows being trapezoidal and tilt inward from bottom to top.  Many people travel on foot to Machu Picchu every year to marvel at the beauty and architectural ingenuity.

Lothal: History dates back to Indus Valley Civilization which leave behind the ruins of Lothal, the first Indian Port between 1800-2400 BC. It also shows a very high degree of town planning, like other sites in the Indus valley. The discovery of seals at Lothal suggests that the former civilization from this part of the Indian subcontinent traded frequently with the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Persia. An unusual discovery was made here of two bodies found in a single grave. At least three such instances show that double burial was a common feature among the people who lived in Lothal. More than 4000-year-old seals of the Indus Valley and Sumerian civilizations, terracotta artefacts, ancient beads and necklaces made from colourful semi-precious stones, resembling modern day junk jewellery, among others is being brought alive in the minds of the people by the Archeology survey of India. Thus, Lothal is an emerging Tourist attraction in Gujarat.
