The temple of Sri Ranganathaswami at Srirangam boasts an historic past of great kingdom and a civilization thousands of years old. The reign of the Pallavas was marked by the creation of a solid religious foundation, for example the encouragement given by the dynasty appears to have contributed to the growth of Aryan institutions in Southern India more particularly in the Carnatic. Cholas reigned for about three hundred years over the Coromandel Coast and the greater part of Eastern Deccan, where they helped an advanced Hindu Culture to flourish.
The Cholas and their allies the Hoysalas of Dwarasamudra in Kannada country were defeated in the thirteen century by the Pandyas of Madurai. Hoysalas, who had Kannanur Kuppam on the outskirts of Tiruchirapalli as their southern capital, had taken particular interest in the building of the Temple of Srirangam, leaving behind both the inscriptions and buildings. The Hoysalas were then driven away by the Pandyas between 1255-1260 AD and once again lost to the Pandyas under Kulasekhara Pandyan in the early part of fourteenth Century. Later, the Mohammedans began frequently raiding the Deccan facing strong resistance from the Hindu Kingdom, which was established in Vijayanagar in 1336. The Kingdom maintained its independence until 1565.
During this time, the Europeans had appeared in the south of India. In the sixteenth century a number of foreign travelers and traders passed through but taking least interest in the hinterland except for the routes it provided for their trade with the Kingdom of Vijayanagar. In 1600, the English East India Company was formed, and 1664 the French company.
In 1680, King Aurangazeb (1658–1707), launched a campaign in western Deccan. After long sieges and a great loss of life, the fortress cities of Bijapur and Golconda fell to him, and the campaign lasted until his death.
In Europe, however, the war of Austrian succession set the English and the French at each other’s throats. Duplex captured Madras (1746), which was given back to the English two years later. The French were forced to surrender in 1752 and Duplex was disavowed and recalled in 1754.
In 1760, a further French attempt, led by Lally-Tollendal, was unsuccessful and the French trading post was dismantled in 1763. From then on, the English Company gradually annexed the whole of the territory of India. Though the French came near to victory, later on they were defeated in 1798 by the English led by Wellessley and who invaded Mysore and in 1799 captured the fortress of Srirangapatnam. Thereafter all of the Southern India came under the supremacy of England. The Carnatic was included in the direct administration of the Madras Presidency where it remained.

The Community Bridge mural project transformed a plain concrete bridge in Frederick, Maryland, near Washington DC, into the stunning illusion of an old stone bridge. Artist William Cochran and his assistants painted the entire structure by hand, using advanced trompe L'oeil ("deceive the eye") techniques. Many people walk by it and never realize they have been fooled. Once they grasp that the bridge is actually an artwork, visitors discover that there are mysterious carvings in the stones, images too numerous to count. They represent symbols and stories contributed by thousands of people from all over the community, across the country, and around the world. These co-creators have made Community Bridge an inspiring symbol of common ground.
In early 1993, artist William Cochran proposed the bridge project because of the structures strategic location at the urban center of the long-planned Carroll Creek Park, Frederick's key economic development project. This linear park site is positioned along the symbolic racial and economic dividing line in the city. The park plan was stalled by controversy and disagreement until the bridge project engaged the participation of the community to build a symbol of common ground. It became a catalyst for revitalization and a symbol of connection and the spirit of community.
At first, however, Community Bridge itself became swept into the controversy. Many letters to the local newspaper expressed outrage at such a novel idea, "painting a bridge on a bridge," as talk radio host David Brenner put it. Yet Cochran had asked the town before to trust his vision, to let him paint small detailed murals on buildings in Frederick City's treasured historic district. Those murals with their dreamlike imagery were also controversial when first proposed, but upon completion they had become quiet landmarks. That history gave the public confidence in the bridge project proposal.
Once the proposal was approved, the artist decided to invite 173,000 people, the residents of the area, to collaborate on this ambitious artwork. Shared Vision spearheaded the massive public outreach called Bridge Builders that asked individuals to contribute ideas to the bridge artwork, to become co-creators with the artist. Countless ideas were collected, and they shaped every part of the bridge mural.
