Mont Saint-Thomas

Le mont Saint-Thomas (en tamoul : புனித தோமையார் மலை (Punitha Thomaiyaar malai), plus communément பரங்கி மலை (Paranki Malai), c'est-à-dire le « mont des Francs » ; en anglais : St. Thomas Mount) ou autrefois le Grand Mont (du portugais Monte Grande), est une colline rocheuse de 91 mètres de haut se trouvant dans le taluk de Pallavaram situé dans la banlieue sud-ouest de la ville de Madras en Inde. Étant le lieu présumé du martyre et de la mort de l’apôtre saint Thomas elle est devenue un lieu de pèlerinage assidument fréquenté par les chrétiens de l’Inde. Une petite église construite au XVIe siècle abrite une croix de Saint-Thomas, sculptée dans la pierre noire, qui date du VIe ou VIIe siècle. Histoire et patrimoine Un sanctuaire dédié à Notre-Dame-d’Espérance fut construit au sommet de la colline en 1523. L’église est de style colonial portugais mais des pierres tombales aux inscriptions en caractères arméniens qui s’y trouvent suggèrent une présence chrétienne arménienne plus ancienne. La tradition veut que l’autel de cette église ait été érigé à l’endroit même où l’apôtre saint Thomas aurait subi le martyre vers l’an 72. Au-dessus de l’autel se trouve la plus ancienne croix de Saint-Thomas que l’on connaisse. Sculptée dans la pierre noire et entourée d’une inscription en palhevi, elle date du VIe ou VIIe siècle. Sur un côté de la colline une étroite route monte et se termine en cul-de-sac à proximité de l’esplanade supérieure et du sanctuaire. Sur le versant nord, un portail en arc romain, portant la date de 1547, donne accès à un chemin, montant en 160 gradins de la base de la colline jusqu'à son sommet, le long duquel a été aménagé pour les pèlerins un chemin de croix de quatorze stations. Lors de sa visite pastorale à Madras, le 5 février 1986, le pape Jean-Paul II est monté au sommet du mont Saint-Thomas et a prié dans son église. Communications Le mont Saint Thomas se trouve près de l’aéroport international de Madras. Tout le quartier au pied de la colline (également dénommé St. Thomas Mount) est desservi par une gare de chemin de fer du même nom : St. Thomas Mount. Il est également à proximité des stations Alandur et Nanganallur Road du métro de Madras. Notes et références Portail de la montagne Portail de Madras

Falaknumapaleis

Het Falaknumapaleis (Telugu: ఫలక్నుమ పాలసు) is een paleis in de Indiase stad Haiderabad (Telangana). Het staat op een heuvel en is in een mengeling van neoclassicisme en Tudorstijl gebouwd. Falaknuma betekent in het Urdu spiegel van de lucht. Geschiedenis De bouw startte in 1884 in opdracht van de toenmalige Nawab Viqar ul-Umara en duurde tot 1893. De bouw bleek echter te duur te zijn en de eigenaar besloot het paleis in 1897 cadeau te doen aan de nizam Fath Jang Mahbub Ali Khan Asif Jah VI. Deze betaalde echter wel de volledige bouwkosten aan de Nawab. In de jaren vijftig raakte het gebouw in onbruik. In 2000 begon hotelketen Taj Hotels aan een grote renovatie en in 2012 werd het gebouw als hotel geopend. Het heeft zestig hotelkamers. Het gebouw Het gebouw bestaat uit een hoofdgebouw met de staatsievertrekken. Dit zijn onder andere de Jadekamer, een balzaal, een eetzaal waaraan 101 mensen kunnen dineren aan dezelfde tafel, een monumentaal trappenhuis en een bibliotheek met een gesneden walnoothouten plafond dat een replica is van een plafond in Windsor Castle. Achter het hoofdgebouw is een binnenplaats waar de meeste hotelkamers te vinden zijn. Dit waren vroeger de haremvertrekken. Achteraan zijn de restaurants te vinden.
