Thotlakonda

Thotlakonda ist eine teilrestaurierte buddhistische Ruinenstätte bei der Millionenstadt Visakhapatnam an der Küste des Golfs von Bengalen im südindischen Bundesstaat Andhra Pradesh. Lage Thotlakonda liegt in einer Höhe von ca. 130 m unweit des beliebten Strandes Thotlakonda Beach; die Großstadt Visakhapatnam ist etwa 25 km in südwestlicher Richtung entfernt. Die ca. 3 km entfernte archäologische Stätte von Bavikonda ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Geschichte Die Geschichte der namentlich nicht bekannten Stätte reicht bis ins 3. oder 2. vorchristliche Jahrhundert zurück. Sie gehörte zeitweise zum Kalinga-Reich, welches um 260 v. Chr. vom Maurya-Herrscher Ashoka erobert wurde, der sich daraufhin zum Buddhismus bekannte und den Glauben förderte. Nach dem Ende der Maurya-Herrschaft übernahmen die Satavahana die Region; unter ihnen erlebte sie bis ins zweite nachchristliche Jahrhundert eine Blütezeit. Später geriet sie jedoch später in Vergessenheit. Erst im Jahr 1976 wurde der Platz aus der Luft neu entdeckt und in den Jahren von 1988 bis 1993 durch das Andhra Pradesh State Archaeology Department teilweise restauriert. Bauten Wichtigster Bau innerhalb des religiösen Bezirks ist der auf einer gut 2 m hohen Plattform (jagati) ruhende ca. 15 m hohe große Stupa. Er ist umgeben von nachträglich hinzugefügten Kulthallen (chaityas), einer im Grundriss quadratischen Versammlungshalle und Wohnräumen (viharas); darüber hinaus finden sich zahlreiche Votivstupas und aus dem Fels herausgehauene, nach oben offene Zisternen, in denen der Monsunregen gespeichert wurde. Sonstiges In Thotlakonda wurden römische Münzen aus der Kaiserzeit gefunden, was auf Handelsbeziehungen von in der Region ansässigen Händlern mit dem Mittelmeerraum hinweist.

Being a cave temple, Buddhist and Jain monks used the site to meditate alongside the Hindu monks. It is a protected monument under the Department of Archaeology, Govt of Kerala since 1966. The temple and its premises are now owned by Paliyam Trust which is managed by Kshetra Samrakshana Samiti (Temple Protection Committee). The main deity of this temple is Lord Shiva a.k.a. Mahadeva, as the name suggests. It is believed that the huge Shivalinga here was consecrated by Lord Agni. Thus, it is believed that Lord Agni always worships Lord Shiva, and he accompanies him. Due to this belief, the idol is not carried outside for processions on rainy days. The temple is located on the top of the hillock inside a 30 feet long and 12 feet broad natural cave. The huge Shiva Linga is at the southern end of the cave, just above this there is a waterhole that never dries even in the hottest days during summers.

There is an evergreen pond on the top of the rock. Since 1966, the temple is a protected monument under the Department of Archaeology. Architecture The Sanctum of the temple is located inside the cave which is 12 feet long and 8 feet wide. In front of the sanctum, there is a Mugha mandapa, entirely carved in the rock with beautiful artistry. Although the deity looks east during Darshan, the devotees can only see the right side of the Lingam. (“Parshwa Darshan”.) The goddess Parvathi also resides there, perpetually to Lord Shiva, personifying knowledge. Lord Ganapathi's image is carved on the wall of the cave towards the west side of the sanctuary. The rock-laden soil and the Namasakara Mandapa, built from 16 pillars made of rock, present a large number of beautiful sculptures.

Zapora Tungabhadra

Zapora Tungabhadra – zapora i elektrownia wodna na rzece Tungabhadra (zlewisko rzeki Kryszna) w stanie Karnataka (okolice miasta Hospet) w Indiach. Celem powstania ukończonej w 1953 zapory była ochrona przeciwpowodziowa, irygacja okolicznych obszarów oraz produkcja energii. Budowa zapory stanowiła wspólny projekt indyjskich stanów Karnataka i Andhra Pradesh. Powstanie zapory doprowadziło do utworzenia największego sztucznego zbiornika na rzece Tungabhadra. Całkowita długość obiektu wynosi 740 metrów, a jego wysokość 49,5 metra. Z zaporą połączone są dwa kanały służące irygacji rozległych obszarów stanu Karnataka oraz regionu Rayalaseema znajdującego się w stanie Andhra Pradesh. Całkowita moc funkcjonującej w ramach zapory elektrowni wodnej wynosi 72MW. Konsekwencją powstania zapory stało się wysiedlenie z zalanych później obszarów 53 tysięcy osób. Przypisy

У межах великого іригаційного проєкту у 1953 році річку перекрили комбінованою бетонною/земляною греблею висотою 49 метрів та довжиною 2443 метри, яка потребувала 1164 тис. м3 матеріалу та утримує водосховище з об'ємом 3763 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 3702 млн м3). На виході зі сховища правобережного іригаційного каналу облаштували машинний зал ГЕС Тунґабгадра, яка належить штату Андхра-Прадеш. Тут встановлено чотири турбіни типу Каплан потужністю по 9 МВт, що при напорі від 29,7 до 49,4 метра (номінальний напір 41,9 метра) забезпечують виробництво 130 млн кВт·год електроенергії на рік. На виході зі сховища лівобережного іригаційного каналу знаходиться машинний зал ГЕС Мунірабад, яка належить штату Карнатака. Тут встановлено три турбіни типу Каплан, дві потужністю по 9 МВт та одна з показником 10 МВт, що при напорі від 13,1 до 23,5 метра (номінальний напір 19,8 метра) забезпечують виробництво 96 млн кВт·год електроенергії на рік.
