National Film Archive of India

Das National Film Archive of India (NFAI) ist das nationale Filmarchiv Indiens in Pune. Es wurde im Jahre 1964 zunächst als Nebeneinrichtung des Film and Television Institute of India gegründet und untersteht dem Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Außenstellen des NFAI finden sich in Bangalore, Kolkata und Thiruvananthapuram. Das NFAI hat den Auftrag: Das Filmerbe des indischen Films zu dokumentieren und für kommende Generationen zu bewahren Eine repräsentative Sammlung des internationalen Filmguts zusammenzustellen Filmspezifische Daten – sei es auf Zelluloid, auf VHS-Video, auf Tonträgern oder in Form von Fotos und Postern – zu bewahren und aufzuarbeiten Forschung zum Thema Film zu fördern und selbst entsprechende Forschung zu betreiben Indische Filmkunst weltweit bekannt zu machen und umgekehrt einem indischen Publikum das internationale Filmgeschehen in der Form von Festivals und Präsentationen nahe zu bringen Die Filmkunst zu verbreiten Die Initiative zur Gründung ging von dem filminteressierten Bibliotheksangestellten P. K. Nair aus, der von 1982 bis zu seiner Pensionierung 1991 erster Direktor des Filmarchivs war. Das Archiv enthält über 130.000 Fotos, mehr als 16.000 Filmplakate, fast 12.000 Liedtexte sowie Presseausschnitte und Schallplatten. Die Bibliothek umfasst eine Sammlung von etwa 25.000 Büchern zum Thema Film und Kino, wie sie weltweit erschienen sind. Das NFAI kommt seinem Auftrag nach und präsentiert in seinem modern ausgestatteten, klimatisierten Kinosaal, der Platz für ca. 600 Besucher bietet, fast täglich Filme und Filmreihen und arbeitet dabei eng mit nationalen und internationalen Institutionen – darunter auch der EU, dem Max Müller Bhavan und der Alliance française – zusammen, um die Filmkunst zu fördern und zu pflegen. Vorführungen, Workshops, Seminare und andere Veranstaltungen finden landesweit statt. Eine aufwändige Aufgabe, der sich das NFAI derzeit trotz durchaus limitierter Mittel unter einigen Mühen stellt, ist die Bewahrung und Sicherung seines umfangreichen Bestandes an Filmkopien, auch durch Digitalisierung. Gegenwärtiger Leiter des NFAI ist Prakash Magdum. Das NFAI befindet sich in Pune in zentraler Lage im Stadtteil Kothrud und ist auf einem parkähnlichen Grundstück angesiedelt.

The National Film Archive of India (NFAI) was established as a media unit of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in February 1964. It was a member of the International Federation of Film Archives. In March 2022, it was merged with the National Film Development Corporation. Objectives Its three principal objectives are: to trace, acquire and preserve for posterity the heritage of Indian cinema; to classify, document data and undertake research relating to films; to act as a centre for the dissemination of film culture. Organization With headquarters at Pune, Maharashtra, NFAI had three regional offices at Bangalore, Calcutta and Thiruvananthapuram. Developed from scratch by P. K. Nair, NFAI's activities related to the dissemination of film culture were manifold. Its distribution library consists of about 25 active members throughout the country and it also organizes joint screening programmes on a weekly, fortnightly and monthly basis in six important centres. The archive contains over 10,000 films, over 10,000 books, over 10,000 film scripts, and over 50,000 photographs. Another important programme conducted by the archive is the film teaching scheme comprising long and short-term film appreciation courses conducted in collaboration with the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) and other educational and cultural institutions. At the international level, NFAI has supplied several Indian classics for major screening programmes. The NFAI's archive keeps a stock of films, video cassettes, DVDs, books, posters, stills, press clippings, slides, audio CDs, and disc records of Indian cinema dating back to the 1910s. State of preservation On 8 January 2003, a large fire caused a massive destruction in the vault of NFAI housed in the Prabhat Studio complex of FTII in Pune, in which unduplicated irreplaceable films with a nitrate base were destroyed. Ravi Shankar Prasad the then Minister of State, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India announced in the Rajya Sabha that 607 films in 5,097 reels were lost in the fire. Among the greatest loss were films by Dadasaheb Phalke including: Raja Harishchandra (1913), Lanka Dahan (1917) and Kaliya Mardan (1919). Important films produced by Prabhat Film Company, Wadia Movietone, Bombay Talkies and New Theatres, were also gutted, namely: Bhakta Prahlada (1932), Amar Jyoti (1936), Manoos (1939), Aage Badho (1947) and others.

Navlakha-Tempel

Der dem Sonnengott Surya geweihte Navlakha-Tempel (Gujarati નવલખા મંદિર Navalakhā mandira) beim Dorf Ghumli auf der Halbinsel Kathiawar/Saurashtra im Bundesstaat Gujarat ist einer der bedeutendsten klassischen Hindutempel (mandir) im Nordwesten Indiens. Lage Der Navlakha-Tempel liegt knapp 1 km südwestlich des ca. 80 m hoch am Fuße der Barda-Hills gelegenen Dorfes Ghumli im Bhanvad-Taluk des Distrikts Devbhumi Dwarka. Der Ort befindet sich ungefähr 42 km (Fahrtstrecke) nordöstlich der Küstenstadt Porbandar. Geschichte Der Tempel wurde im 12. oder frühen 13. Jahrhundert von der damals regierenden hinduistischen Jethwa-Dynastie im Solanki-Stil erbaut, doch bereits zu Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts vom rivalisierenden Jadeja-Clan zerstört. Erst im letzten Viertel des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde er unter der Leitung des Archaeological Survey of India umfassend restauriert. Architektur und Dekor Der Tempel erhebt sich auf einer etwa 2 m hohen und maximal ca. 45,70 × 30,50 m messenden Umgangsplattform (jagati). Die erneut um knapp 2 m erhöhte, allseitig offene Vorhalle (mandapa) ist zweigeschossig und von drei Seiten aus über Treppen zugänglich; die vierte Seite wird von der durch einen Umgang (pradakshinapatha) ummantelten, lichtlosen Cella (garbhagriha) eingenommen, in welcher das Kultbild verehrt wird. Darüber erhebt ein reich gegliederter und insgesamt ca. 18 m hoher Shikhara-Turm mit Balkonerkern (jharokhas) im unteren Teil. Die teilweise noch erhaltenen Steine der Sockelzone der Vorhalle sind mit Figuren, öfters jedoch mit ornamentalen Motiven geschmückt. Umgebung Nicht weit entfernt befinden sich ein Ganesha-Tempel mit konvex gewölbter Shikhara und die Überreste zweier Stufenbrunnen (Vikia Vav und Jeta Vav). Auch die frühmittelalterlichen Sonkansari-Tempel sind nur etwa 1,5 km entfernt.

Trident Hotel, Nariman Point

The Trident Nariman Point is a luxury hotel on Marine Drive in Nariman Point, Mumbai, India. It is owned and operated by the Trident Hotels division of The Oberoi Group. It has 35 floors, on completion in 1973, it was the tallest building in South Asia, surpassing the 105 metres (344 ft) Express Towers, located next door. It stayed the tallest building in South Asia until 1980, when Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers were completed in downtown Mumbai . History The hotel opened on 7 April 1973 as the Oberoi-Sheraton Hotel. It was built by Mohan Singh Oberoi, at a cost of 180 million rupees, as a joint venture between his Oberoi Hotels and US-based Sheraton Hotels, which had an equity interest of $500,000. Oberoi paid Sheraton a fee of $150 per room per year to manage the hotel, but this gave him access to an international reservations and marketing system, and also allowed him to qualify for a 43.5 million rupee loan from the United States Agency for International Development. The loan was contingent on Oberoi accepting four American directors on his board. As the Americans could not be present at meetings, they were represented by local stand-ins. The hotel showed a profit of 450,000 rupees in 1974, and by 1978 annual profits were 29.4 million rupees. In 1978, Sheraton signed a marketing agreement with ITC to represent the properties of their WelcomHotels division, located across India. Oberoi angrily called it a "breach of an agreement both in letter and in spirit". In addition, Sheraton demanded that the annual fee Oberoi paid be doubled to $300 per room per year, and that the new 200-room wing of the hotel that was then under construction (today known as The Oberoi Mumbai) be covered at the same higher rate. Oberoi severed the joint venture with Sheraton and the hotel was renamed The Oberoi Towers on 5 March 1979. The hotel was renamed Hilton Towers Mumbai on 5 April 2004, as part of a marketing alliance between Oberoi and Hilton Hotels. It was renamed Trident Nariman Point on 1 April 2008, when the alliance with Hilton ended. It was also iconic for being a victim of the 2008 Mumbai attacks in November of 2008.

Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Immaculée-Conception de Panaji

L’église Notre-Dame-de-l'Immaculée-Conception est un édifice religieux catholique sis à Panjim, capitale de l’état de Goa, en Inde. Construite en 1609 pour remplacer une chapelle plus ancienne l’église est devenue, du fait de sa situation en hauteur et somptueusement illuminée durant la nuit, image emblématique de la ville de Panaji. L’église est lieu de culte de la plus importante paroisse de la ville. Localisation L’église se trouve au cœur de Panjim : au flanc d’une colline et dominant le jardin municipal de la ville. Une double volée d’escaliers, en zigzag, aboutit à son parvis. Le site était le premier point de débarquement des navires venant d’Europe. Les marins débarquaient avant de remonter le fleuve Mandovi pour arriver à Ela — aujourd’hui Vieux-Goa — qui était la capitale de l'estado da India’ portugais jusqu’au milieu du XIXe siècle. Histoire Une première chapelle est construite en 1541 pour répondre aux besoins pastoraux des marins portugais qui touchent terre après des mois de navigation. L’endroit est un village de pêcheurs à l’embouchure du Mandovi. Le village devient paroisse en 1600 et une nouvelle église est mise en chantier. En 1609 l’église de l’Immaculée-Conception remplace l’ancienne chapelle. Elle est de style colonial baroque portugais. Au XVIIIe siècle une impressionnante double volée d’escaliers en zigzags symétriques est construite pour en faciliter l’accès à partir du jardin municipal. Elle acquiert de plus en plus d’importance alors que le village est devenu ville et que le vice-roi de Goa fait de cette ville de Panjim sa résidence habituelle (1759). Panjim devient la capitale de l’Inde portugaise en 1843 et est rebaptisée « Nova Goa ». En 1871 une cloche provenant de l’ancien monastère des Augustins de Vieux-Goa (aujourd’hui en ruines) est installée au sommet d’un beffroi au centre de la façade de l’église. Description À l’extérieur, la façade entièrement peinte en blanc révèle un style baroque colonial portugais caractéristique. La partie centrale est un beffroi dont on peut voir au sommet la cloche provenant du monastère augustinien. L’intérieur de l’église est haut en couleur. Le maître autel est dédié à la Vierge Marie. Il est flanqué à gauche et à droite de deux autels mineurs aux décorations dorées. L’un est dédié à Jésus-en-Croix et l’autre à Notre-Dame du Rosaire. Ces autels sont encadrés de statues des apôtres saints Pierre et Paul. Dans le transept sud (côté droit du maître autel) une chapelle est dédiée à saint François-Xavier. Services religieux Étant le principal lieu de culte catholique de la ville de Panaji l’église offre des services religieux en anglais, konkani et portugais tous les dimanches. Elle est particulièrement fréquentée durant les jours précédant la fête de l’Immaculée Conception (8 décembre) fête patronale de la paroisse. Des festivités particulières accompagnent les célébrations religieuses. Notes et références Portail du baroque Portail de l’architecture chrétienne Portail du catholicisme Portail de l’Inde
Oval Maidan

Oval Maidan is a large Grade I recreational ground situated in South Mumbai, India. It is so named because of its oval shape and is situated just south of Churchgate. It is a popular recreation ground, with the most popular sports played there being cricket and football. The ground measures 22 acres (8.9 ha) in area. Political rallies and religious functions are banned in the maidan. History Until the early 20th century the vast expanses of the Oval Maidan, Azad Maidan, Cooperage Ground and Cross Maidan formed the area known as Esplanade. Until the late 20th century the ground was owned and run by the state government and was very poorly maintained. It was frequented by beggars, prostitutes and drug peddlers. Finally, in 1997 the Oval-Cooperage Residents Association (OCRA) was formed as a public charitable trust set up by the residents of the area. OCRA petitioned the Maharashtra government to maintain the Oval maidan. The Maharashtra government did not respond to the petition, leading the group to take it to the Mumbai High Court. The Court ruled in their favour, forcing the government to either maintain the maidan or hand it over to OCRA which it subsequently did. The OCRA then went about fencing the ground and building a jogging course around the periphery. A lane which cut through the diameter of the ground was metalled to facilitate a smoother thoroughfare. For a few years the former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar operated the Elf cricket academy to the north of the ground. Gallery See also Cross Maidan Azad Maidan References
Oyster Rock

Oyster Rock is an island in the Mumbai Harbour, Mumbai, India. It is heavily fortified, and owned by the Indian Navy. For a short while, the islet was used as a naval museum. Every time when the Admiral of The Fleet sails out or in with the Naval fleet, a guard of honour is conducted with a 21 gun salute with sailors standing on the entire perimeter of the island. In 2008, the Mumbai Port Trust proposed to set up an International Cruise Terminal at Oyster Rock. However, in 2009, the Indian Navy refused to grant permission citing security concerns in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. References
