Jaipur Column

The Jaipur Column is a monumental column in the middle of the courtyard in front of Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential residence in New Delhi, Delhi, India. In 1912 Madho Singh II, the Maharaja of Jaipur, offered to sponsor its construction to commemorate the 1911 Delhi Durbar and the transfer of the capital of India from Calcutta to New Delhi. The column was designed by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. In 1920, Lutyens submitted his design for the column to the Royal Academy of Arts in London, as his diploma work for his election as a fellow of the academy. The structure was completed in 1930, it was contracted by Sir Sobha Singh. The column is predominantly made of cream sandstone, with red sandstone used for the base. At the top there is an egg surmounted by a bronze lotus flower and a six-pointed glass star. These are supported by a steel shaft running through the column's entire length. Different sources give the height as 145 feet (44 m) or 148 feet (45 m). There are bas-reliefs around the base, designed by the British sculptor Charles Sargeant Jagger. Jagger also designed the elephants carved into the walls around the courtyard, as well as the statue of George V, Emperor of India which formerly stood under the canopy next to India Gate. On the base there is an inscription, with wording supplied by Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India: In thought faith In word wisdom In deed courage In life service So may India be great This was a modification of the wording originally proposed by Lutyens: Endow your thought with faith Your deed with courage Your life with sacrifice So all men may know The greatness of India Notes References Amery, Colin; Richardson, Margaret; Stamp, Gavin (1981).

Jodhpur (by)

For alternative betydninger, se Jodhpur. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Jodhpur) Jodhpur, også tidligere skrevet Djodpur, er den næststørste by i den indiske delstat Rajasthan beliggende midt i delstaten. Den var indtil 1947 hovedstad i fyrstestaten Jodhpur som nu er en del af Rajasthan. Byen kaldes også "The Blue City" (den blå by). Den gamle bydel er bygget rundt om fortet Mehrangarh og er omsluttet af en bymur med flere byporte. Byen har nu vokset meget udenfor bymuren. Jodhpur by blev grundlagt i 1459 af rajputhøvdingen Rao Jodha. Jodha erobrede det omkringliggende område og grundlagde kongedømmet som blev kendt som Marwar, og senere Jodhpur. Jodha stammede fra den nærliggende by Mandore som blev kongedømmets første hovedstad, men Jodhpur overtog rollen allerede i Jodhas levetid. Byen var strategisk placeret på vejen mellem Delhi og Gujarat. Det muliggjorde at profitere på en blomstrende handel med opium, kobber, silke, sandeltræ, dadler og andre varer. Referencer
Jodhpur

Jodhpur ( en hindi: जोधपुर) es la segunda ciudad más grande del estado de Rajastán, al noroeste de la India. Situada en el desierto de Thar. Destino turístico popular por sus numerosos palacios, fuertes y templos. Se la conoce como la ciudad azul por el color con el que se pintan las casas bajo la fortaleza de Mehrangarh. En un principio eran casas de brahmanes, aunque muy pronto el color fue adoptado por las otras castas porque se decía que ahuyentaba al calor y a los mosquitos. Actualmente las nuevas construcciones se siguen pintando de color azul por motivos turísticos. Clima El clima es en general caluroso y seco, pero con una estación de lluvias entre finales de junio y septiembre. Aunque la precipitación media anual son 360 mm, es muy variable. En el año de hambruna de 1899, solo cayeron en Jodhpur 24 mm, mientras en el año de inundaciones de 1917 recibió 1178 mm. La temperatura es muy elevada en el periodo entre marzo y octubre, excepto cuando las lluvias monzónicas cubren el cielo de nubes. Durante estos periodos, la humedad es sin embargo mucho más alta. Historia Jodhpur fue fundada por 1459 por Rao Jodha, un jefe Rajput del clan Rathore. Rao Jhoda conquistó el territorio vecino fundando así un estado conocido como Marwar. La ciudad estaba localizada en la estratégica carretera que unía Delhi con Guyarat, lo que le permitió beneficiarse del floreciente tráfico de opio, cobre, seda, dátiles y café. Jodhpur fue después un feudo del Imperio Mogol, manteniendo sin embargo cierta autonomía. Aurangzeb la conquistó brevemente en torno a 1679, aunque a su muerte volvió a sus anteriores gobernantes. Cuando el Imperio Mogol entró en su declive a partir de 1707, una serie de luchas internas en Marwar desembocó en la intervención de los marathas, que pasaron a ocupar el lugar de los mugales en la región. Tras 50 años de guerras, el estado formó una alianza con el imperio británico en 1818. Galería Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Jodhpur.

Jodhpur

Jodhpur je drugi po veličini grad u indijskoj državi Rajastan, s više od 1,000.000 stanovnika. Nekad je to bio glavni grad kraljevine Marvar. Jodhpur je popularno turističko odredište koje turistima nudi brojne palače, tvrđave i hramove, a smješteno je u prekrasnom, premda surovom krajoliku na istočnom rubu pustinje Thar. Iznad grada nalazi se tvrđava Mehrangarh, jedna od najvećih u Indiji. Grad se često naziva "solarnim gradom" zbog sunčanog vremena koje, s nekoliko izuzetaka na tom području, vlada tijekom cijele godine. Ponekad ga nazivaju i "plavim gradom", zbog plave boje većine kuća u starom gradu. Jodhpur se nalazi u blizini geografskog središta Rajastana, što ga čini prikladnom bazom za putovanja u tom području. Zahvaljujući svom strateškom položaju, također je domaćin snažnoj zračnoj bazi indijske vojske i drugim vojnim jedinicama. Ovo područje bilo je dio carstva Gurjar - Pratihar otprilike od 6. do 12. stoljeća. Sam Jodhpur osnovao je 1459. godine Rao (kralj) Jodha, vođa Rajput klana Rathor. Rao Jodha osvojio je okolna područja i osnovao državu po imenu Marvara. Izvorni glavni grad njegova imanja bio je susjedni Mandor, ali čak je i za života Rao Jodhe, Jodhpur preuzeo tu ulogu. U to je vrijeme grad već imao strateški važan položaj na cesti koja je povezivala Delhi i Gudžerat. Grad je imao koristi od ovog prikladnog mjesta, uglavnom zahvaljujući uspješnoj trgovini opijumom, bakrom i svilom, ali i sandalama, datuljama i kavom. Kasnije je zemlja postala vazalna država Mogula, ali je zadržala određeni stupanj autonomije. Nekoliko kraljeva Jodhpura proslavilo se u mogulskoj vojsci kao generali, poput maharadže Jasvanta Singha. Ljudi iz Jodhpura imali su koristi od kontakta s Mogulima, uglavnom zahvaljujući Mogulima koji su dobivali vijesti iz vanjskog svijeta, novim umjetničkim ili arhitektonskim stilovima, a nove su prilike iskoristili lokalni trgovci koji su počeli otpremati svoju robu širom sjeverne Indije. Godine 1679. došlo je do velike svađe i borbe za nadzor nad gradom i državom, a zemljom je izravno upravljao novi mogulski car Aurangzeb. Nakon njegove smrti 1707. godine, zakoniti se vladar vratio na prijestolje, ali sud u Jodhpuru toliko je oslabio spletkama tako da, umjesto da je okolnosti iskoristio u korist države, u zemlju službeno pozvao trupe susjednih Marathija. Vođa njihove vojske ušao je u Jodhpur 1755. godine, ali ubrzo nakon dolaska postao je žrtva atentata. Paradoksalno, ovo je Jodhpuru nakratko dalo neovisnost, ali ubrzo su Mughale povratile vlast nad cijelim područjem. Nakon njihovog slabljenja, država je dobrovoljno stupila u savez s Britancima i postala dio Britanske Indije. Ovo je razdoblje donijelo Jodhpurovu dugo očekivanu stabilnost, teritorij tadašnje države Jodhpur rastao je, a Jodhpur je postao najveće i najbogatije središte u regiji. Izvori

Jodhpur

Jodhpur è una suddivisione dell'India, classificata come municipal corporation, di 846 408 abitanti, capoluogo del distretto di Jodhpur e della divisione di Jodhpur, nello stato federato del Rajasthan. In base al numero di abitanti la città rientra nella classe I (da 100 000 persone in su). Seconda città del Rajasthan e già capitale della regione storica del Marwar, è un'importante meta turistica per l'abbondanza di templi e palazzi di interesse storico e artistico, oltre che per l'imponente e maestoso forte di Mehrangarh, che da sei secoli domina la città da un massiccio di 130 metri. Soprannominata anche Sun city per la costante presenza del sole e di tempo sereno (siamo nell'area del Deserto di Thar), ma anche Blue city per il gran numero di abitazioni dipinte con tinta blu. Geografia fisica La città è situata a 26° 17' 12 N e 73° 1' 48 E e ha un'altitudine di 231 m s.l.m. Società Evoluzione demografica Al censimento del 2001 la popolazione di Jodhpur assommava a 846 408 persone, delle quali 450 816 maschi e 395 592 femmine. I bambini di età inferiore o uguale ai sei anni assommavano a 119 377, dei quali 62 710 maschi e 56 667 femmine. Infine, coloro che erano in grado di saper almeno leggere e scrivere erano 565 476, dei quali 335 873 maschi e 229 603 femmine. Problemi Le falle sotto il suo bacino idrico sono vecchie e molteplici tanto che il livello sotterraneo delle acque si è innalzato enormemente e la città, nel siccitoso Rajasthan, potrebbe essere inabissata da un momento all'altro. Le perdite provengono dal fondo del bacino di Kayalana-Takht Sagar, dove sono confluite altre riserve di acqua quando nel 1997, per far fronte ad una siccità, è stato deviato un canale. Di giorno in giorno le fondamenta dei palazzi si stanno trasformando in mollica, così molti cittadini sono stati costretti ad abbandonare le proprie case. Anche l'Alta Corte e il mercato principale sono stati fatti evacuare dopo che l'acqua si è fatta strada nei sotterranei. Per colpa di questo paradosso, Jodhpur rischia di diventare l'Atlantide dell'India.
