India - Rajasthan - Bikaner - Streetlife With Tiny Shops - 111 by Manfred Sommer

Bikaner is a city in the northwest of the state of Rajasthan in northern India. It is located 330 kilometres northwest of the state capital, Jaipur. Bikaner city is the administrative headquarters of Bikaner District and Bikaner division.

Formerly the capital of the princely state of Bikaner, the city was founded by Rao Bika in 1486 and from its small origins it has developed into the fifth largest city in Rajasthan. The Ganges Canal, completed in 1928, and the Indira Gandhi Canal, completed in 1987, facilitated its development.

HISTORY

Prior to the mid 15th century, the region that is now Bikaner was a barren wilderness called Jangladesh. In 1488 Rao Bika established the city of Bikaner. According to James Tod, the spot which Bika selected for his capital, was the birthright of a Nehra Jat, who would only concede it for this purpose on the condition that his name should be linked in perpetuity with its surrender. Naira, or Nera, was the name of the proprietor, which Bika added to his own, thus composing that of the future capital, Bikaner. Rao Bika was the first son of Maharaja Rao Jodha of the Rathor clan, the founder of Jodhpur and conquered the largely arid country in the north of Rajasthan. As the first son of Jodha he wanted to have his own kingdom not inheriting Jodhpur from his father or the title of Maharaja. He therefore decided to build his own kingdom in what is now the state of Bikaner in the area of Jungladesh. Though it was in the Thar Desert, Bikaner was considered an oasis on the trade route between Central Asia and the Gujarat coast as it had adequate spring water. Bika’s name was attached to the city he built and to the state of Bikaner ("the settlement of Bika") that he established. Bika built a fort in 1478, which is now in ruins, and a hundred years later a new fort was built about 1.5 km from the city centre, known as the Junagarh Fort.

Around a century after Rao Bika founded Bikaner, the state's fortunes flourished under the sixth Raja, Rai Singhji, who ruled from 1571 to 1611. During the Mughal Empire’s rule in the country, Raja Rai Singh accepted the suzerainty of the Mughals and held a high rank as an army general at the court of the Emperor Akbar and his son the Emperor Jahangir. Rai Singh's successful military exploits, which involved winning half of Mewar kingdom for the Empire, won him accolades and rewards from the Mughal emperors. He was given the jagirs (lands) of Gujarat and Burhanpur. With the large revenue earned from these jagirs, he built the Chintamani durg (Junagarh fort) on a plain which has an average elevation of 230 m. He was an expert in arts and architecture, and the knowledge he acquired during his visits abroad is amply reflected in the numerous monuments he built at the Junagarh fort.

Maharaja Karan Singh, who ruled from 1631 to 1639, under the suzerainty of the Mughals, built the Karan Mahal palace. Later rulers added more floors and decorations to this Mahal. Anup Singh ji, who ruled from 1669 to 1698, made substantial additions to the fort complex, with new palaces and the Zenana quarter, a royal dwelling for women and children. He refurbished the Karan Mahal with a Diwan-i-Am (public audience hall) and called it the Anup Mahal.Maharaja Gaj Singh, who ruled from 1746 to 1787 refurbished the Chandra Mahal (the Moon palace).

During the 18th century, there was internecine war between the rulers of Bikaner and Jodhpur and also amongst other thakurs, which was put down by British troops.

Following Maharaja Gaj Singh, Maharaja Surat Singh ruled from 1787 to 1828 and lavishly decorated the audience hall (see illustration) with glass and lively paintwork. Under a treaty of paramountcy signed in 1818, during Maharaja Surat Singh's reign, Bikaner came under the suzerainty of the British, after which the Maharajas of Bikaner invested heavily in refurbishing Junagarh fort.

Dungar Singh, who reigned from 1872 to 1887, built the Badal Mahal, the 'weather palace', so named in view of a painting of clouds and falling rain, a rare event in arid Bikaner.

General Maharaja Ganga Singh, who ruled from 1887 to 1943, was the best-known of the Rajasthan princes and was a favourite of the British Viceroys of India. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India, served as a member of the Imperial War Cabinet, represented India at the Imperial Conferences during the First World War and the British Empire at the Versailles Peace Conference. His contribution to the building activity in Junagarh involved separate halls for public and private audiences in the Ganga Mahal and a durbar hall for formal functions. He also built the Ganga Niwas Palace, which has towers at the entrance patio. This palace was designed by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, the third of the new palaces built in Bikaner. He named the building Lalgarh Palace in honour of his father and moved his main residence there from Junagarh Fort in 1902. The hall where he held his Golden Jubilee (in 1938) as Bikaner's ruler is now a museum.

Ganga Singh's son, Lieutenant-General Sir Sadul Singh, the Yuvaraja of Bikaner, succeeded his father as Maharaja in 1943, but acceded his state to the Union of India in 1949. Maharaja Sadul Singh died in 1950, being succeeded in the title by his son, Karni Singh (1924-1988).[6] The Royal Family still lives in a suite in Lalgarh Palace, which they have converted into a heritage hotel.

TRANSPORT

The internal transport system in Bikaner consists of autorickshaws and city buses. Bikaner railway station is on the Jodhpur-Bathinda line. Bikaner is connected to some of major Indian cities via broad gauge railway. The city has direct rail connections to Sri Ganganagar, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Alwar, Bhubaneswar, Sambalpur, Bilaspur, Kanpur, Agra, Jalandhar, Baroda, Hyderabad, Guwahati, Jaipur, Surat, Gurgaon, Jalandhar, Puri, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram, Chandigarh, Kota, Kollam, Jammu, Jodhpur and Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Vijayawada. However, there is no rail connectivity for other major Indian cities like Silchar, Indore,[clarification needed] Jhansi, Ranchi, Bhopal, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Kurukshetra, Faridabad.

Bikaner is well served with roads and is linked directly to Delhi, Jaipur , Agra , Alwar, Ludhiana, Sri Ganganagar , Bhatinda, Ambala, Ahmedabad, Haridwar, Jodhpur, and many other cities. National highways 11, 15, and 89 meet at Bikaner.

CLIMATE

Bikaner is situated in the middle of the Thar desert and has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) with very little rainfall and extreme temperatures. In summer temperatures can exceed 45 °C, and during the winter they may dip below freezing.

The climate in Bikaner is characterised by significant variations in temperature. In the summer season it is very hot when the temperatures lie in the range of 28–48.5 °C.

Court of Justice - Chandigarh India – Le Corbusier 1956

Designed by Le Corbusier the High Court of Punjab and Haryana in Chandigarh has got a beautiful building. Apart from the Court rooms, it houses the Offices of many Administrative Branches such as Registrar's Office, Establishment Branch, Gazette Branch and Copying Branch etc. The Offices of Advocate-Generals, Punjab and Haryana also adjoin the main building. The High Court is a linear block with the main facade toward the piazza. It has a rhythmic arcade created by a parasol-like roof, which shades the entire building. Keeping in view the special dignity of the judges, Le Corbusier created a special entrance for them through a high portico resting on three giant pylons painted in bright colours. Very much in the tradition of the Buland Darwaza of Fatehpur-Sikri, this grand entrance with its awesome scale, is intended to manifest the Majesty of the Law to all who enter. Juxtaposed between the main courtroom of the Chief Justice and eight smaller courts, is a great entrance hall. Its scale--especially the height -- is experienced most intensely while walking up the ramp. The symbolism of providing an "umbrella of shelter" of law to the ordinary citizen is most vividly manifested here. The continuity of the concrete piazza running into this space establishes a unique site and structural unity of the structure with the ground plane. The massive concrete pylons representing again the "Majesty of Law" are painted in bright primary colours and visually punctuate the otherwise rhythmic facade of the High Court. The rear side of this ceremonial entrance for the judges is a working entrance and a large car park at a sunken level. The massive piers and the blank end walls have interesting cut-outs and niches, to establish a playful connection with the human scale.

Each courtroom was provided with an independent entrance from the piazza-and the gracefully curving overarching profile of the brise-soleil screen was intended to provide the symbolic protection. However, this "metaphor" of protection proved highly non-functional against intense summer heat and the monsoon rains - thus requiring a single-storeyed continuous verandah running in front of them as a later addition. Space for archives and library also proved insufficient, even after the open terraces of the library had been taken over, so Le Corbusier agreed to design an unobtrusive, expandable annex to the north. The judges declined to share the car entrance with the public so now the esplanade, where the pedestrian was to reign, is a motorway enabling the judges to drive right into the entrance hall. Colourful tapestries, one to each courtroom, cover the entire rear wall -- 12 metres square in the main courtroom and 8 metres square for the smaller courtrooms. A number of symbols that encapsulated Le Corbusier's view of man, earth, nature, the emblems of India and the scales of justice were depicted in abstract, geometric patches. They were also required for acoustical reasons.

Chandigarh by felipe magalhães

Chandigarh é a capital do estado de Punjab, que teve sua antiga capital Lahore incluída em territórios paquistaneses na partição da Índia em 1947. O projeto inicial foi coordenado pelo arquiteto americano Albert Mayer, e entregue a Le Corbusier em 1950.

Notas acerca do urbanismo de Le Corbusier:

 Paris como um contexto sobre o qual ele trabalha suas idéias, uma cidade em “eterna luta entre as forças da vida cotidiana exuberante, caótica e por vezes miserável, e as forças da ordem despótica e centralizada” (HALL, 2002)

 Para Le Corbuiser, Paris só poderia ser salva com a intervenção de “grandes senhores, homens sem remorso: Louis XIV, Napoleão, Haussmann”, cujas intervenções foram para ele exemplos de criação, daquele espírito capaz de dominar e controlar as massas.

 Para Le Corbusier, o desenho das cidades era importante demais para ser feito pelos cidadãos, e deste modo ele justificava a rejeição aos seus planos de demolição de boa parte de Paris para a construção de seu Plan Voisin (18 torres uniformes de 200 metros no centro histórico ao norte do Sena).

 “Devemos descongestionar o centro de nossas cidades aumentando sua densidade, melhorando a circulação e aumentando a quantidade de espaços vazios”, paradoxo que seria resolvido com a verticalização e a liberação de áreas verdes e para vias de trânsito rápido (mesmo que isso demandasse a demolição dos centros existentes).

 Le Corbusier, em função do impacto da crise de 1929 e da Grande Depressão dos anos 30, perde a fé no capitalismo baseado no livre mercado e na iniciativa privada, e se torna um defensor do planejamento estatal centralizado, que “cuidaria não somente da construção de cidades mas de todos os aspectos da vida” (HALL, 2002)

 Com a exceção de Chandigarh, Le Corbusier não consegue executar nenhum de seus grandes planos urbanísticos, apesar de ter viajado por toda a Europa promovendo suas idéias. Entretanto, no pós-guerra os governos dos países desenvolvidos assumem uma responsabilidade pelo bem-estar social inexistente nos anos 30. Na Europa associa-se a este fato a idéia de que as cidades precisam ser reconstruídas das ruínas deixadas pela guerra e que as áreas sem infra-estrutura adequada precisavam ser completamente removidas (de fato, diversas cidades da Grã-Bretanha ainda em meados do século XX eram repletas de bolsões de urbanização precária, e este teria sido um argumento a favor da adoção do grande conjunto habitacional modernista como uma solução ao problema do déficit habitacional e da persistência da urbanização favelizada).

 A partir do início dos anos 50 as políticas habitacionais se concentram na construção do maior número possível de unidades, para lidar com o déficit existente, e isto coincide com uma ampla aceitação das propostas de Le Corbusier no meio arquitetônico. Do início dos anos 50 a meados dos 70, espalham-se grandes conjuntos habitacionais modernistas verticalizados nas periferias dos grandes centros, nos EUA e na Europa (ocidental, no contexto do Estado do bem-estar social, e na Europa Oriental no contexto socialista, que adere completamente aos princípios do urbanismo modernista).
