“Exploring the Rich Heritage of Indian🇮🇳 Temple Architecture🛕”

- Indian temple architecture is a reflection of the country's rich heritage, steeped in centuries of history and culture. From the ancient Harappan civilisation to the present day, temple architecture has evolved into a diverse range of styles, each with its unique artistic and regional traditions.

- Dravidian architecture is one of the most striking styles of temple architecture, characterised by its pyramid-shaped towers, intricate carvings, and colourful sculptures. It is predominantly found in South India and has been a symbol of regional identity and pride for centuries.

- Other styles of temple architecture in India include Nagara, Vesara, and many more, each with their unique features and symbolism. The Nagara style, for instance, is characterized by its towering shikhara, while the Vesara style is a fusion of the Nagara and Dravidian styles.

- Exploring India's temples is not just about discovering its spiritual side, but also about admiring the stunning beauty of its architectural marvels that have stood the test of time. The intricate carvings, sculptures, and symbolism in these temples offer a glimpse into India's rich artistic and cultural traditions.

- To preserve India's cultural heritage, it is essential to support the conservation and restoration of ancient temples. Many organisations and initiatives are working towards this goal, and supporting them is a great way to contribute to the preservation of India's cultural legacy.

- India's temples are not just places of worship but also a testament to its rich artistic and architectural heritage. They are a source of pride for the country and offer a glimpse into its diverse cultural landscape.

- Whether you're planning to visit different parts of India or are simply interested in learning more about its cultural heritage, exploring its diverse range of temple architecture is a must. It is an enriching and rewarding experience that offers a deeper understanding of India's rich and diverse cultural traditions.

The tomb of the noble Isa Khan Niazi was constructed in the Lodhi architectural style. Its octagonal shape, the hallmark of the Lodhi era, stands on a low plinth. Verandahs surround the central chamber. Each side of the chamber consists of three arches with one chajja (roof) present over each. The mausoleum's architectural style is similar to those of Mubarak Shah, Muhammad Shah, Khan-i-Jahan Tilangani and Sikander Lodi.

The mausoleum houses the tomb of Isa Khan Niazi, who was a noble at the courts of Sher Shah Suri and Islam Shah Suri. It is situated south of the Bu Halima's garden in the Humayun's Tomb complex. It also says the tomb is an "asylum of paradise" built during the reign of Sher Shah.

The tomb chamber consists of six tombs, two large and four smaller. Sandstone slabs are used to pave the floor. The cenotaph of Isa Khan Niazi is made of red sandstone and marble.

LOCATION: The tomb is located in a historic settlement, Chirag Delhi, located within the fort walls of the Jahapanah city (Built by The Tughlaqs) The walls of the city are a technological marvel as they were constructed to regulate the flow of the Barapulah water stream. This important river saw the historic cities and many settlements evolve along its course, Chirag Delhi being one.

HISTORY: The tomb of Bahlol Lodi, located in the historic settlement of Chirag Delhi, is one of the finest examples which demonstrate the evolution of Lodi architecture. This tomb is the dedicated to Bahlol Lodi, the founder of Lodi dynasty (Reign 1451 to 1488AD), built by his son Sikandar Lodi.

EVOLUTION: The settlement of Chirag Delhi is named after Sheikh Naseerudin Mahmud, better known as Roshan Chirag- e- Delhi (light of Delhi), the last of the great Sufi saints of Northern India; who resided on the banks of the Barapullah stream. Following his death is 1356 AD, Feroz Shah Tughlaq, his ardent follower built a tomb in his memory. With the passage of time many religious structures were added in the dargah complex and became one of the important small towns in the medieval times. In 1720 AD, Emperor Muhammad Shah Rangila built an enclosure wall with four gateways around a huge untenanted area around the Dargah complex. In 1947 AD, following the independence and partition, there was an influx of refugees from Pakistan. All existing buildings that were uninhabited were occupied and vacant land slowly encroached upon. Chirag Delhi was incorporated as an urban village during 1951-61 AD and came under the control of Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION: The tomb is constructed in rubble masonry. The roof is crowned by five domes, the central one being fluted. The central columns springs from four monolithic stone columns, a unique architectural feature of that period. Each of its four facades is broken by three archways supported on red sandstone columns and their spandrels are ornamented with medallions. The arches are also decorated with inscriptions incised in plaster.

CONSERVATION: This tomb is under the protection of ASI and was repaired and restored in 2005. According to the survey report, the site was under a layer of earth which had to be excavated. With reference to the archival images, the tomb was conserved and the missing portions were reconstructed. As the original site was encroached and boundaries altered, a new wall and entrance to the tomb was constructed and the site was got under the protection of the ASI.

PROJECT: This tomb was a part of a studio exercise at the School of Planning and Architecture , New Delhi (Dept. of Conservation), to rediscover the lost river Barapullah and re-establish its significance.

CURRENT STATE: Due to the pressure of the growing population and increased demand of housing, the site is encroached to the levels that the historic fabric is being lost and built upon. The historic settlement is growing beyond the original historic walls; the gateways are in a deteriorated state, demonstrating neglected heritage and ignorance. The settlement is growing and has high housing demands, where the individual houses are being extended rampantly, affecting the historic fabric.

Lack of awareness about heritage has resulted in a lot of encroachments and the place is hub for anti-social elements.

Yesterday a heritage walk: 'An Evening Exploration at Qutub Minar' was organised. During the walk the whole Qutub Complex was covered. Not only the historical facts but also various myths and stories were discussed. The unexplored mysteries of Qutub Minar, Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, Iron pillar, Tomb of Iltutmish, Tomb of Imam Zamin, Ala-ud-din Khilji's tomb and madrasa, the Iron Pillar, Alai Minar of Khalji, Alai Darwaza and other monuments at the complex were discussed. The group exploration with the crowd was a wonderful experience. I will definitely continue with more events in future.
Very special thanks to our partner for the walk 'Classy Holidays'. I would also like to thank our photographer Nadeem Khan and walk organizers Galib Hussian Khan and Narottam Kushwaha.
