On 3 August 2009, this school celebrated its golden jubilee. History In 1952–53, the Mudaliar Commission's report on Reform in the System of Secondary Education in India suggested a vast set of reforms for the education system. At that time, the educationists-cum-policy makers for Odisha, e.g., Professor B. C. Das, DPI; Shree H. Mishra, DDPI; Dr. S. Sahu, and senior officials of the BSE conceived an idea to establish three model schools at Cuttack, Sambalpur and Berhampur, respectively. Under this initiative, construction of a school, named Secondary Board High School, began at Cuttack in 1958. The school opened on 3 August 1959 with 148 students (including 31 girls), under the guidance of Shree Chakradhar Mohanty, deputed by the BSE as special officer, and nine teachers. It was initially planned to have only three classes, i.e., VI, VII and VIII, and accordingly, admission process began on 9 June 1959 starting with Class-VI. On demand by local guardians, classes IX and X were introduced later. The first batch passed the HSC Examination in 1962 with three years of study in the school, the fully trained first batch passed out in 1965 with all six years of study in the school. Gradually the strength of students grew up to 1,100 by 1984. Campus and buildings The school shares the same campus as the BCE and the two buildings stand facing each other. Although the campus has a gate at the entrance on Bajrakabati Road, there is no clear demarcation or boundary walls for the entire campus.

Hram sunca u Konarku

Hram sunca u Konarku (hindski jezik:कोणार्क सूर्य मंदिर) je hinduistički indijski hram koji je dao izgraditi kralj iz dinastije Ganga, Narasimhadeva I. (1238. – 1250.) u mjestu Konarku, 65 km od grada Bhubaneswara u indijskoj državi Odisha. Poznat i kao Crna pagoda, jer je izgrađen od oksidiranog starog pješčenjaka koji na izlezećem suncu postane sjajan, posvećen je bogu sunca, Surji, zbog čega ima oblik njegove kočije za šest konja. Kao jedan od najpoznatijih hramova u Indiji, upisan je na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Aziji i Oceaniji 1984. godine. Hrama Sunca je bio zamišljen kao divovska kočija Boga Sunca, Surja, s dvanaest pari izvrsno ukrašenih kotača. Veličanstveno zamišljen, ovaj hram je zapravo jedan od najuzvišenijih spomenika u Indiji, poznat koliko po svojim dimenzijama i besprijekornim proporcijama, tako i po skladnoj integraciji arhitektonske veličanstvenosti s plastičnim ukrasima. Njegov fini čipkasti ukrasi i izvijeni oblici, kao i lijepo i prirodno isklesani životinjski i ljudski likovi, čine ga sjajnijim od ostalih hramova u Odishi. Hram ima promjer 261 x 160 m i poravnan je po putanji sunca preko neba, u smjeru istok-zapad. Nalazi se u prirodnom okruženju koje obiluje plantažama drveća koje rastu na pjeskovitim tlu. Okoliš je uvelike netaknut, a blaga valovita topografija oko Hrama Sunca se donekle ponavlja u njegovom obliku. Hram pripada Kalinga školi indijske arhitekture hramova s karakterističnim krivuljnim tornjevima koji uokviruju kupolu središnjeg svetišta s četiri strane. U obliku, hram ne odstupa od drugih sikhara hramova u Odishi. Glavno svetište (Mantapa), visoko oko 60 metara, s raskošnim vanjskim ukrasima je izgrađeno kad i Velika dvorana (visoka 30 m) koja je sačuvana u cijelosti. Vrh glavnog svetišta u kojemu se nalazilo skulptura glavnog božanstva je otpalo, a Dvorana za ples (Nata Mandir) i blagovaonica (Bhogu-Mandap) su oštećeni hirovima vremena. Kamenje na Hramu sunca u Konarku nisu spojeni vapnencom ili cementom, već su ih toliko uravnali da su spojeni samo kapima prirodne gume. Hram sunca u Konarku je također i mjesto anualnog festivala plesa, koji se održava svakog prosinca, a koji je posvećen klasičnim oblicima indijskog plesa, uključujući i tradicionalni ples Odissi. U Odishi se nalazi i drugi Hram sunca, Biranchi Narayan, u Bugudi (pokrajina Ganjam). Izvori I. B.

Świątynia Słońca w Konarku

Świątynia Słońca (hindi: सूर्य मंदिर, orija: ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ମନ୍ଦିର, ang. Sun Temple) – świątynia boga słońca Surji w miejscowości Konark w indyjskim stanie Orisa na wybrzeżu Zatoki Bengalskiej, zbudowana w 1278 przez króla Narasimha-Dewę I z dynastii Gangów. Świątynia została ufundowana na pamiątkę zwycięstw króla nad muzułmanami władającymi Bengalem. Wedle tradycji mitologicznej wzniósł ją Samba, syn Kryszny w podzięce Surji za uleczenie z trądu. Jest znana, choć z architektonicznego punktu widzenia, niesłusznie, jako „Czarna Pagoda”. Obecnie wieża świątyni znajduje się w ruinie, ale przed zniszczeniem sięgała 72 m. i była jedną z najwyższych w całych Indiach. Do czasów obecnych zachowała się przednia część świątyni, dostępna dla wiernych – dźagamohan. Świątynia ta jest największą z typu ratha, tj. rydwanu. Na jej bocznych ścianach znajdują się koła z piaskowca o trzymetrowej średnicy. Cała świątynia jest otoczona dekoracją rzeźbiarską i płaskorzeźbiarską. Jest ona wykonana w przeważającej części z piaskowca, a niektóre elementy z chlorytu, które nadają świątyni barwę rudą z zielonymi elementami. W masie rzeźb liczne są przedstawienia tancerek, par miłosnych, apsar i nagów. Elementy erotyczne są związane z funkcjonowaniem w owym czasie na tym terenie kultów tantrycznych. Wzdłuż dolnej części ścian biegnie fryz złożony z płaskorzeźbionych słoniątek, przedstawionych w bardzo licznych ujęciach. Świątynia w Konarak została wpisana w 1984 roku na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Przypisy
Храм Солнца (Конарак)

Храм бога солнца Сурьи (англ. Konark Sun Temple, хинди कोणार्क सूर्य मंदिर, ория ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ମନ୍ଦିର, କୋଣାର୍କ), известный также как «Чёрная Пагода» — памятник XIII века в городе Конараке индийского штата Орисса, недалеко от побережья Бенгальского залива. Храм был воздвигнут правителем Ориссы раджой Нарасимхадевой I в XIII веке, на берегу Бенгальского залива. За семь веков море отступило и храм оказался примерно в трёх километрах от побережья. В 1984 году храм включён в список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО за номером 246. Здание до разрушения основной части имело высоту 75 м. Ансамбль храма состоит из трёх частей — танцевального павильона, где храмовые танцовщицы некогда исполняли ритуальные танцы, зала для молящихся — джагамохана и святилища — деула, которое ныне разрушено. Перед храмом находятся каменные фигуры — семь коней и колесница с двенадцатью колёсами. В храме находится множество изображений и скульптур, в основном — на любовную и эротическую тематику. Многие конструкции храма частично разрушены либо законсервированы. Несмотря на то, что храм Сурьи некоторое время был заброшен, к нему продолжали и продолжают совершать паломничества. Толпы людей стекаются сюда, чтобы встретить восход седьмого дня светлой половины месяца магх (соответствует концу января — началу февраля). В этот день по древней традиции отмечался праздник Парамасура — праздник Высшего Сурьи. Примечания Ссылки «Желание-основа Вселенной…».

Храм Сунца у Конарку

Храм Сунца у Конарку (хиндски језик:कोणार्क सूर्य मंदिर) је хиндуистички индијски храм који је изградио краљ из династије Ганга, Нарасимхадева I (1238—1250.) у месту Конарку, 65 км од града Бубанесвара у индијској држави Ориса. Познат и као Црна пагода, јер је изграђен од оксидираног старог пешчара који на излезећем сунцу постане сјајан, посвећен је богу сунца, Сурји, због чега има облик његове кочије за шест коња. Као један од најпознатијих храмова у Индији, уписан је на УНЕСКО-в Списак места Светске баштине у Азији и Аустралазији 1984. године. Храма Сунца је био замишљен као дивовска кочија Бога Сунца, Сурја, с дванаест пари изврсно украшених точкова. Величанствено замишљен, овај храм је заправо један од најузвишенијих споменика у Индији, познат колико по својим димензијама и беспрекорним пропорцијама, тако и по складној интеграцији архитектонске величанствености с пластичним украсима. Његов фини чипкасти украси и извијени облици, као и лепо и природно исклесани животињски и људски ликови, чине га сјајнијим од осталих храмова у Ориси. Храм има размер 261 x 160 м и поравњан је по путањи сунца преко неба, у смеру исток-запад. Налази се у природном окружењу које обилује плантажама дрвећа које расту на песковитим тлу. Околина је увелико нетакнута, а блага таласаста топографија око Храма Сунца се донекле понавља у његовом облику. Храм припада Калинга школи индијске архитектуре храмова с карактеристичним кривим торњевима који уоквирују куполу средишњег светишта с четири стране. У облику, храм не одступа од других сикхара храмова у Ориси. Главно светиште (Мантапа), високо око 60 метара, с раскошним спољашњим украсима је изграђено кад и Велика дворана (висока 30 м) која је сачувана у целости. Врх главног светишта у којему се налазило скулптура главног божанства је отпало, а Дворана за плес (Ната Мандир) и дворана за обед (Богу-Мандап) су оштећени хировима времена. Камење на Храму Сунца у Конарку нису спојени опеком или цементом, већ су их толико уравњали да су спојени само капима природне гуме. Храм сунца у Конарку је такође и место ануалног фестивала плеса, који се одржава сваког децембра, а који је посвећен класичним облицима индијског плеса, укључујући и традиционални плес Ориси. У Ориси се налази и други Храм сунца, Биранчи Нараyан, у Бугуди (покрајина Гањам). Референце Литература I. B. Horner. (1975).
