Скала Ойстер

Скала Ойстер (англ. Oyster Rock) — остров в Индийском океане в гавани Мумбаи (Индия). Описание Климат острова соответствует экваториальному. Среднегодовая температура составляет 27 °С. Самый тёплый месяц — июнь (30 °С), самый холодный — январь (24 °С). Среднее количество осадков составляет 2412 мм в год. В июле выпадает в среднем 908 мм осадков, а в апреле всего 1 мм. Территория скалы Ойстер — плоская. Самый большой город — Мумбаи расположен в 19,8 км к северу от скалы. Остров сильно укреплен, фортифицирован и принадлежит индийскому флоту. В течение небольшого времени остров служил военно-морским музеем. Каждый раз, когда адмирал флота выходит вместе с военно-морским флотом в поход, на этом острове с моряками проводится торжественный залп из 21 орудия, которые расположены по всему периметру острова. В 2008 году Mumbai Port Trust предложил создать международный круизный терминал на скале Ойстер. Однако в 2009 году военно-морские силы Индии отказались предоставить разрешение, сославшись на аспекты безопасности после террористических актов в Мумбаи в 2008 году. Примечания

It houses The Asiatic Society of Mumbai, State Central Library and a museum, the head office of the Directorate of Libraries Maharashtra State, Maharashtra State Women's Council, the Additional Controller of Stamps Office and a post office. History In 1811, the plan for construction began. Initially, the construction of the town hall (colloquially Called "Tondal" in the 19th century) could not be completed because of the lack of funds; only the library and museum were built after raising an amount of Rs.10,000 through a lottery conducted by the 'Literary Society of Bombay' (Mumbai). Construction was eventually completed in 1833. Architecture The building was designed by Colonel Thomas Cowper of the Bombay Engineers. The architectural style of the building is Neoclassical architecture that came into existence in the 18th century. Structure The structure has a height of 30 m (98 ft) and a span of 61 m (200 ft). It was inspired by Greek and Roman styles of architecture. There is a flight of 30 steps leading to the entrance of the Town Hall. The entrance of the building is adorned with a Grecian portico and eight Doric styled pillars. The entire construction was made of stones brought from England and was designed in a Neo-classical fashion. Within the building are wooden floors, spiral staircases, and terraces adorned with wrought iron. The hall boasts of a collection of marble statues of Indian patrons of the 19th century. There is also a flagpole on the building on which the Indian National Flag is hoisted on 15 August and 26 January every year. Significance The Asiatic Society of Mumbai Town Hall is a classified heritage structure. Sir John Malcolm, Governor of Mumbai in 1930 said, "It is the most magnificent structure that taste and munificence combined have as yet erected in India". There are many ancient manuscripts in Persian, Prakrit, Urdu and Sanskrit along with other treasures preserved in the hall. Dante's first issue of Inferno is one of the treasures kept at the town hall. Gallery References
Padmadurg

Padmadurg, also known as Kasa fort, is one of five historical sea forts built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and located in Raigad District Maharashtra, India. It was built by Shivaji Maharaj to keep look over Janjira fort, as it was attempted many times by the Portuguese and other invaders from Janjira, which was controlled by the Siddis. It also served as a key shipbuilding yard during Shivaji's reign. Now partly in ruins, Padmadurg remains accessible via special permission and is protected under the Archaeological Survey of India, with ongoing efforts to conserve its unique maritime heritage. History Padmadurg was one of the sea forts built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1676 in order to control the naval activities in the Arabian sea. It is located in the northwest direction of the Janjira fort at a distance of about 4 km. Padmadurg, along with Underi fort, was re-captured by the Marathas (under Raghuji Angre) from the Siddis of Janjira in 1759. During cleanup activities in 2012, ASI authorities found around 250 cannonballs of historical value. The sea fort of Padmadurg is not as big as Janjira but still the fort can be visited and enjoyed. Visiting the fort requires taking permission from the Customs/Navy. The fort was not only a part of Sindhudurg's defenses but was also Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's main ship construction yard. This fort can also be viewed from Janjira. Architecture The Padmadurg Fort was built of sandstone and lime mortar atop a 20 ft deep rock island, the fort spans roughly 9 acres and comprises six rounded bastions. It is structured with three defensive zones: an outer retaining wall, a detached "padkot," and the inner citadel, each designed to withstand waves and enemy assault. Inside, the fort contains dry water tanks, ammunition storage, temple ruins (e.g., Kandeshwari), bunker-like barracks, and numerous cannon placements over 200 cannonballs and 46-47 rusted cannons were discovered during preliminary surveys and the number later went upto 250.

Cuevas de Nasik

Las cuevas de Nasik​ (estado de Maharashtra, India), Trirashmi Leni o Pandavleni son un grupo de 23 cuevas budistas en roca entre el siglo I a. C. y el siglo III d. C., aunque se añadieron esculturas hasta aproximadamente el siglo VI, reflejando los cambios en las prácticas devocionales budistas.​​ Las esculturas budistas son un importante grupo de ejemplos tempranos de arquitectura india tallada en roca que representan inicialmente la tradición de las primeras escuelas budistas. Trirashmi es el nombre de las colinas en las que se encuentran las cuevas, y Leni es una palabra marati para ‘cuevas’. El nombre de Pandavleni que a veces se da a las cuevas de Nasik no tiene nada que ver con los pandavas, personajes de la epopeya Mahabharata. La mayoría de las cuevas son viharas, excepto la cueva 18, que es una chaitya del siglo I a. C. de la dinastía Sunga.​ El estilo de algunos de los elaborados pilares o columnas, por ejemplo en las cuevas 3 y 10, es un ejemplo importante del desarrollo formal.​ Las cuevas están ubicadas en un lugar sagrado budista, que se encuentra a unos 8 km al sur del centro de Nasik.

Panju Island

Panju Island is an estuarine island in the Vasai Creek just north of Mumbai, India. The island is used by the Western Railway to connect the island of Salsette with the mainland at Vasai. It is located at 19.333°N 72.85°E﻿ / 19.333; 72.85 with a maximum elevation of 1 m (3 ft) . Early relations with railway The Suburban line trains move over the island while passing through the Vasai Creek between Bhayandar and Naigaon. The creek is traversed by two railway bridges in two sections, Northern and Southern. One can also see another bridge, now unused, on the western side of the left bridge. This Bassein bridge was built between 1923 and 1926/1927 as a replacement to an existing bridge from 1864, which had become old and weak by then. The original Bassein bridges were opened in 1864, the same year the first train service began from Grant Rd to Ahmedabad. They served for a while, after which they were found weak for the increasing loads. Hence between 1896 and 1902, it was deemed necessary to replace the bridges. The girders were strengthened, but still were unable to cope with the increasing traffic. Speed restrictions were imposed,15 mph for locals, and 8 mph for through trains. Finally, preliminary construction works were started in the beginning of 1920, and the preparatory works were started in 1923 for a new bridge, 120 ft east of the old bridges. The design of the original 1864 bridge was kept. The work, though with delays, was completed soon after 1926. This is the old bridge seen today. Panju Island was an important base of operations for the construction of that bridge, housing utilities like a stacking yard, power house, stores, etc. Further, it allowed the division of the construction into two segments, north and south from the island. A 1924 BB&CI Magazine, about various bridges along the company line. See from pg. 3, for a description of the old Bassein bridges - [1] Panju was also listed as one of the stations on the first Suburban service of BB&CI, that commenced on 12 April 1867. A station of the island's name can also be seen in a train graph printed in a 1923 BB&CI Magazine. According to this, the station was in operation at least into the mid-1920s, and might have been demolished later. It is likely to be just a stopover with a cabin, rather than a full fledged station.

Pataleshvara-Tempel (Pune)

Der Pataleshvara-Tempel (auch Panchaleshwar-Tempel oder nach seinem Standort Bamburde-Tempel genannt) von Pune im indischen Bundesstaat Maharashtra ist der älteste (erhaltene) Tempel der Stadt. Er reiht sich ein in die zahlreichen aus dem basaltischen Felsgestein (Dekkan-Trapp) herausgehauenen Höhlenheiligtümer auf dem Dekkan-Plateau (Ajanta, Ellora, Karli, Bhaja, Bedsa u. a.). Lage Ehemals lag der Tempel außerhalb des Stadtgebietes; heute befindet er sich nahe beim Zentrum von Pune an der Jangli Maharaj Road, einer der wichtigsten Straßen der Stadt. Geschichte Obwohl keinerlei Bauinschriften oder sonstige schriftlichen Quellen existieren, geht man heute davon aus, dass der Tempel auf die Mitte des 8. Jahrhunderts und die Rashtrakutas zurückgeht, die auch den Kailasa-Tempel von Ellora aus dem Fels heraushauen und vielleicht auch die Flanken des Festungsbergs von Daulatabad in ihre heutige Form bringen ließen. Möglicherweise wegen eines Risses im Gestein des Sanktums (garbhagriha) wurden die Baumaßnahmen nach wenigen Jahren eingestellt. Tempel Weihe Pataleshvara ist einer der vielen Beinamen des Hindu-Gottes Shiva; er bedeutet so viel wie „Herr der Unterwelt“. Architektur Der vollständig aus dem anstehenden Basaltgestein herausgehauene Tempel hat eine ungewöhnliche architektonische Gestaltung: Er besteht aus einem rechteckig ummantelten Hof mit einem zentralen runden Schrein für Nandi, das Reittier (vahana) des Hindu-Gottes Shiva. Der Schrein ruht auf 12 mächtigen und vollkommen dekorlosen Stützen mit einem quadratischen Querschnitt, die oben mit Kämpferplatten abschließen. Der Umgang im Innern des Schreins ist gegenüber dem Bodenniveau leicht abgesenkt. Skulptur In der Mitte des von vier Pfeilern gebildeten quadratischen Zentralbereichs ruht ein steinerner Nandi-Bulle auf einem profilierten Podest; sein Kopf ist auf den Lingam hin ausgerichtet und sein Hals ist mit Glockenketten bekränzt. Ein weiterer Nandi kniet auf einem Podest im Eingangsbereich in der Ostseite des Innenhofes unmittelbar vor dem Lingam. Der glattpolierte und von einer – in späterer Zeit hinzugefügten – Königskobra aus Messing umwundene schwarze Lingam des Gottes erhebt sich in einer schmucklosen Cella (garbhagriha). Sonstiges Der Tempel wird täglich von Gläubigen aufgesucht, die hier im Beisein von Brahmanen ihre puja-Zeremonien abhalten, bei denen der Lingam mit Wasser oder Milch übergossen und mit Blütenblättern geschmückt wird.

Portuguese Church, Mumbai

The Church of Our Lady of Salvation, popularly referred to as Portuguese Church, is one of the oldest churches in Mumbai, India. It is located on S. K. Bole Road in Dadar. The church was originally built by the Portuguese Franciscans who called it Nossa Senhora da Salvação (Our Lady of Salvation). The present structure, designed by famous Indian architect Charles Correa, was constructed between 1974 and 1977. History The church of Our Lady of Salvation is believed by historians to be the city's oldest church, having existed as early as 1512. It was built by the Portuguese Franciscan Missionaries. It was later rebuilt as a larger church in 1651. In 1974, Charles Correa, was commissioned to design the new building. Working with him on the project were engineer P G Nair and builder Abbas Jasdenwalla. Correa's design consisted of a series of interlinked spaces, some covered and others open to the sky, functionally differentiated in an analogue of Christ's life. The old church's steeples, the choir loft, the ascending roof and ornate facade were replaced by conical domes connecting the sanctuary (altar), the nave (central aisle), the baptistery (baptismal font), and the oratory (shrine). The structure featured an exposed concrete exterior, minus the plastering. Correa also invited noted Indian artists M. F. Husain and Anjolie Ela Menon to contribute to church. M. F. Husain executed a painting on glass for the central roof. Husain divided the glass into several segments for a stained-glass effect and painted the Biblical story of the five loaves and two fish, and the death and resurrection of Christ. Anjolie Ela Menon got a painting done depicting Christ on the Cross for a side chapel of the church devoted to prayer. It depicts Mother Mary and St. John on the either side of the crucified Christ. She also painted Eve and Adam on both side of Chapel Altar. The Church building houses a medical centre, a fitness centre, an Alcoholics Anonymous facility and a separate help group for the spouses of alcoholics. References
Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Salvação (Bombaim)

A Igreja de Nosssa Senhora da Salvação (em inglês: Our Lady of Salvation Church), popularmente conhecida como Portuguese Church (Igreja Portuguesa), é um templo católico situado em Dadar, uma área a norte do centro de Bombaim, Índia. A igreja atual, cuja construção terminou em 1977 e foi desenhada pelo arquiteto indiano Charles Correa, é a sucessora de uma antiga igreja portuguesa construída nos últimos anos do século XVI por franciscanos. História No século XVI, a região de Bombaim era uma possessão portuguesa. Dadar era conhecida como Maim de Baixo e fazia parte da ilha de Maim. Segundo algumas fontes, a igreja original foi construída em 1596, enquanto que outras fontes são mais vagas e referemn apenas "antes de 1600". A primeira igreja foi reconstruída em 1651 e foi modificada em várias outra ocasiões. Há menções históricas à igreja e a um convento franciscano no local datadas de 1675 e 1710. A menção de 1710 refere que o convento era "espaçoso", mas estava um pouco arruinado. Os franciscanos foram vigários da igreja até 1720, quando foram forçados que abandonar Maim e Bombaim. Em 1902, a igreja foi extensamente reparada, à semelhança do que aconteceu com a maior parte das igrejas e capelas da Diocese de Damão, a que pertencia então. Em 1914 foi reconstruída. Em 1935 foi construído um salão paroquial e iniciadas obras para adicionar um grande alpendre e terraço. Mais tarde, o recinto da igreja foi dividido em duas metades para permitir a construção da Gokhale Road. A seguir, as matas de wadis e coqueiros da área deram lugar a casas, aumentando substancialmente a população da paróquia. Entre os novos habitantes, muitos eram católicos, pelo que a igreja se tornou pequena para tantos fiéis. A igreja esteve sob a jurisdição do Padroado português até 1794, quando surgiu a chamada jurisdição dupla, que colocou várias paróquias sob a jurisdição partilhada entre o Padroado português e a Propaganda Fide, a igreja ficou sob a alçada da Arquidiocese de Goa. Em 1851 ou 1863, os paroquianos apelaram à administração britânica para passarem para a jurisdição da Propaganda, mas passado pouco tempo voltou a ser do Padroado, sendo integrada na Diocese de Damão. Com o fim da jurisdição dupla em 1928, a paróquia foi integrada na Arquidiocese de Bombaim. No século XX, a paróquia da Salvação foi dividida em outras: Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) em Parel de Baixo (Lower Parel) em 1904; Nossa Senhora das Dores (Our Lady of Dolours) em Vadala em 1941; São Paulo (St. Paul) em Dadar Oriental (Dadar East) em 1941; Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Our Lady of Fatima) em Sewri em 1959; e Sagrado Coração (Sacred Heart) em Worli em 1961.
