Gurdwara Janam Asthan Guru Ram Das

The Janam Asthan Guru Ram Das (Punjabi, Urdu: گردوارہ جنم استھان گورو رام داس), also known as Gurdwara Janamasthan Patshahi Chauthi, is a gurdwara in Lahore, Pakistan. The gurdwara was built atop the site traditionally believed to be the location of the birthplace and childhood home of Guru Ram Das, the 4th Sikh guru. Location The gurdwara is located in the Chuna Mandi Bazaar in the Walled City of Lahore, near the Lahore Fort, and Begum Shahi Mosque.

History Guru Ram Das was born in the Chuna Mandi Bazaar of Lahore in 1534 CE. The guru was born at this site to parents Hari Das and Mata Daya. The childhood home existed until the era of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who purportedly was asked to build a new shrine at the site during the birth celebrations of Kharak Singh in 1801 by his wife, Maharani Datar Kaur. Ranjit Singh agreed to the request, and acquired plots surrounding the site in order to build a new gurdwara. 18 Sikhs were reportedly killed in the gurdwara premises during communal rioting that occurred during the Partition of British India. Before 1947, the gurdwara had eighteen shops associated with it. Architecture The shrine was built atop a white marble platform, which is built several steps above street-level. The shrine measures 122 feet 6 inches by 97 feet 6 inches. To the west of the shrine is an open courtyard, surrounded on two sides by a two-story building. An old well can be found at the site.

Muzeum Kalaša dur

Muzeum Kalaša dur či Bamborate Muzeum se nachází v okrese Čitrál, v provincii Chajbar Paštúnchwá, v Pákistánu. Stavební práce na muzeu Kalaša Dur začaly v roce 2001 a byly dokončeny v roce 2005. Je zde vystaveno asi 1 300 předmětů, které mají etnologický význam pro kalašskou tradici a tradici v širší oblasti Hindúkuše. Dějiny Muzeum v údolí Bumburet, známé také jako Kalaša dur (Dům lidí z Kalaše nebo Kulturní centrum pro Kalašu). Kalaša dur je místo, kde lze se vystavuje řada exponátů. Většinu těchto předmětů shromáždili členové nevládní organizace zvané „Řečtí dobrovolníci“ se sídlem v Řecku. Pracovali v údolí Kalaša dur od roku 1995. Etnologická sbírka Budova se skládá ze dvou podlaží; v přízemí je etnologická sbírka kalašské kultury a z širší oblasti Hindukúše a v druhém patře je škola kalašské kultury s knihovnou knih napsaných v údolí Kalaše a také hala pro profesionální školení místních řemesel. Členové „řeckých dobrovolníků“ byli zodpovědní za velkou část sbírky vystavené v muzeu. Dobrovolníci navštívili údolí Kalaše za účelem nákupu tradičních předmětů nebo jejich výměny za moderní předměty. Členové „řeckých dobrovolníků“ měli spoustu starostí a obav, když si všimli, že nová kalašská generace nikdy neuvidí tradiční předměty svých předků. Jejich pozorování zahájilo nákup předmětů, oděvů a dalších typických předmětů, aby neopustily údolí. Jejich prvním cílem bylo vystavit všechny tyto předměty v etnologickém muzeu, aby je budoucí generace mohly vidět a dozvědět se o životě svých předků. Později, když bylo postaveno muzeum Kalaša dur, se počet sebraných předmětů začal zvyšovat. Mnoho darů od obyvatel z Kalaše a obyvatel údolí Kalaše pro jejich muzeum zvýšilo počet položek v muzeu nad zakoupenými exponáty. Muzeum také zakoupilo tradiční nádobí a další předměty, které opustily osady v Hindúkuši, od obchodů se starožitnostmi v Péšávaru a Čitrálu, aby obohatily jejich sbírku.

Abbasi Mosque

The Abbasi Mosque, or Derawar Mosque, and locally known as Jamia Masjid‑e‑Abbasi, is a mosque located close to Derawar Fort in Yazman Tehsil, in the Cholistan Desert in Bahawalpur District, in the Punjab, province of Pakistan. The mosque can accommodate 10,000 worshippers. History Abbasi Mosque was built by Nawab Bahawal Khan in 1849. It was built like the Shah Jahani Masjid in Delhi, using the same construction materials. Architecture Abbasi Mosque features a 4.9-metre-wide (16 ft), 39-metre-long (128 ft) prayer hall and is crowned by three bulbous marble domes that dominate the surrounding dunes. Two octagonal minarets flank a tri‑arched façade carved in low‑relief Qurʼanic calligraphy, while marble jharoka balconies evoke a late‑Mughal aesthetic. Constructed entirely of polished marble, the building moderates desert heat and bathes its interior in diffused light that enters through pierced screens set high above the mihrab. The paved courtyard and prayer hall together can accommodate about ten thousand worshippers, a capacity that once enabled the Bahawalpur nawabs to conduct state ceremonies beneath its domes. Historically, the main entrance housed servants' quarters and the lower portion comprised a hostel and a library.

Мечеть Абассі

Мече́ть Абба́сі (або Мечеть Деравар, місцева назва Джамія Масджид-е-Аббасі) — це мечеть, розташована неподалік від форту Деравар у техсілі Язман, в пустелі Холістан у районі Бахавалпур, провінція Пенджаб, Пакистан. Мечеть може вмістити 10 000 вірян. Історія Мечеть Аббасі була побудована Навабом Бахавалом Ханом у 1849 році. Вона була зведена подібно до Шах-Джаханської мечеті в Делі, з використанням таких самих будівельних матеріалів. Архітектура Мечеть Аббасі має молитовний зал завширшки 4,9 метра та завдовжки 39 метрів і увінчана трьома цибулинними мармуровими куполами, що височіють над навколишніми дюнами. Два восьмикутні мінарети фланкують триарковий фасад, прикрашений барельєфною коранічною каліграфією, тоді як мармурові балкони джарока нагадують пізньомогольську естетику. Побудована повністю з полірованого мармуру, будівля пом'якшує пустельну спеку та наповнює інтер'єр розсіяним світлом, що проникає через ажурні решітки, розташовані високо над міхрабом. Брукований двір та молитовний зал разом можуть вмістити близько десяти тисяч вірян — така місткість колись дозволяла навабам Бахавалпура проводити державні церемонії під її куполами. Історично головний вхід містив приміщення для слуг, а в нижній частині розташовувалися гуртожиток та бібліотека. Примітки Вікісховище має мультимедійні дані за темою: Мечеть Абассі

Daybul

Daybul (també Dehal i Dewal) fou una antiga vila del Sind, que portava el seu nom perquè tenia un temple (dewal, sànscrite devalaya) d'idols (budd). Era a una badia (khwar) a l'oest de Mihran. Al segle viii estava poblada per la tribu Med. Els àrabs la van atacar dues vegades per mar sense èxit, sota la direcció de Ubayd Allah ibn Nabhan i Budayi ibn Tahia al-Badjali. Però fou la primera ciutat del Sind a ser conquerida pels àrabs dirigits per Muhammad ibn al-Kasim al-Thakafi (gendre del califa, de menys de 20 anys) que el 710/711 dirigí per terra una expedició de càstig contra el radja Dahir, rei del Sind, al que feia responsable d'ajudar a uns pirates que s'havien apoderat a Daybul d'uns vaixells carregats de musulmans que anaven a la Meca. Ubayd Allah va utilitzar la mandjanik per primer cop a l'Índia; la ciutat estava dominada per una torre de 37 metres d'altura on hi havia hissada una gran bandera vermella considerada el símbol de la inexpugnabilitat de la ciutat, i una stupa budista, que probablement era el "dewal" que li donà nom. La mandjanik va llençar grans blocs de pedres una de les quals va abatre la torre i la bandera. El vencedor va oferir condicions generoses de pau als vençuts, als que va assegurar protecció com a dhimmis. Va construir allí la primera mesquita de l'Índia i hi va establir 4000 famílies àrabs a un barri de nova construcció. L'stupa fou demolida i anys després convertida en presó per Anbasa ibn Ishak al-Dabbi, governador del Sind amb seu a Daybul vers el 846. La ciutat fou en gran part destruïda per un terratrèmol el 893; van morir milers d'habitants. Vers el segle x, ja reconstruïda, fou potser la seu de Bhambo Raja, i va agafar el nom de Bhambor o Bhambore d'aquest sobirà. El 1221 el xa de Coràsmia Djalal al-Din Manguberti, va arribar al Sind, i va atacar la ciutat que va ocupar i va construir una djami masdjid al lloc d'un temple d'idols el que voldria dir que al segle xiii aquestes pràctiques, segurament budistes, no havien desaparegut i eren practicades encara per part de la població. Fou visitada el 1239 per Radi al-Din Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Saghani, que es refereix a l'hàbit dels rics locals de dedicar-se a la pirateria. La ciutat desaparegué posteriorment en una data desconeguda a l'entorn del 1250 i per causes no determinades, i no s'ha localitzat el seu emplaçament. El departament d'arqueologia del Pakistan va iniciar excavacions a Bhambore o Bhanbore el 1958 però els resultats no han pogut determinar amb seguretat si es tracta de Daybul. Bibliografia N. B.

Banbhore

Banbhore ist eine Ruinenstadt in der pakistanischen Provinz Sindh und liegt ca. 60 km südöstlich von Karatschi. Es handelt sich um die Überreste der bedeutenden mittelalterlichen Hafenstadt Daibul. Bei Ausgrabungen konnten drei Kulturschichten unterschieden werden, die vom ersten bis zum 13. Jahrhundert reichen: Es gibt eine parthische, eine hinduistische und eine frühislamische Phase. Die Stadt wird mit dem aus schriftlichen Quellen bekannten Daibul an der Indusmündung identifiziert. Daibul ist die erste von Muhammad ibn al-Qasim eroberte Stadt Indiens, hier wurde die erste Moschee auf dem indischen Subkontinent errichtet. Das wichtige Handelszentrum mit seinem wertvollen Hochseehafen wurde unter den Umayyaden durch eine mächtige Stadtmauer mit drei Stadttoren befestigt. Die Moschee innerhalb der Stadtmauern hatte einen mit 34 × 35 Metern nahezu quadratischen Grundriss, ihre Säulenreihen waren umlaufend um einen zentralen Hof gebaut. Sie kann anhand einer Inschrift in das Jahr 727 datiert werden. Die großen Häuser der Stadt waren aus Stein gebaut, die kleineren aus Lehmziegeln. Die Stadt wird wohl als Barbarikon im Periplus Maris Erythraei genannt und war für den Indienhandel von Bedeutung. Sie erscheint als Ort des Seidenhandels mit dem Namen Arbi im Parzival von Wolfram von Eschenbach, war also während des Mittelalters schon im Abendland bekannt. Im Jahr 2004 wurde vorgeschlagen, dass die Stadt zum Weltkulturerbe erhoben werden soll. Weblinks Dictionary of Islamic Architecture (engl.) Weltkulturerbe

Порт Банбхор

Раскопки Банбхора расположены на северном берегу реки Гаро Скрип, в 65 километрах восточнее Карачи. С I века до н. э. до XIII века нашей эры развивался город-порт Банбхор. Часть его находится под водой, те же части которые находятся на поверхности по-прежнему хорошо сохранились и представляют собой вид ранних исламских городов и портов в Южной Азии. Порт состоит из пяти основных зон, наиболее впечатляющей из которых является 10 метровая в высоту насыпь, находящаяся на берегу ручья.
