The project id done as a part of the curriculum of the VIII semester students under the subject Architectural Design. The objective of the study is to explore the methodology practicing and intervening in the historical sites and structures, which will develop an understanding of the significance of historical sites/structures and assessment of their related issues.

A group of five students, Akashdeep Singh, Akshit Jain, Hardeep Singh, Jasvinder Singh, Jeevan Lal of the batch 2015-2020, were allowed to choose the historical site that includes Jain temple, Dera baba Charan shah Deori and temple, haveli and Dabbi bazaar stretch, Hoshiarpur for architectural documentation. The site was chosen as of its great historical value and need to be preserved for the conservation of our heritage and the timelessness of the era in which they were built.

8. Dabbi Bazaar and famous Wood inlay work of Hoshiarpur

Wood inlay craft originated in Hoshiarpur about 300 years ago, and ivory was originally used until it was banned altogether in 1989.

Farmers in their off-season experimented with this art due to seasonal work of farming, and in due course of time, they became masters at it. Various products such as inlaid tables, chairs, screens, chest boxes, corners, chess boards, jewelry boxes, trays, elephants and trolleys and other items of use in everyday life are spotted in Dabbi Bazaar. The artists became so skillful that many of them were recognized

by

the

kings

and

have

been

subsequently awarded by the Government of India.

The wood of the shisham tree, which is of a very high quality, is normally used in this wood art of Hoshiarpur. Teak and rosewood are also used in

some products.

When you enter, your eyes will wander around the shop, amazed with the carvings and various paintings. The shopkeepers are friendly and will guide you to the workshops when they realize that you’re interested in learning more about the products and the craft.In simple words, inlay is a technique of inserting pieces of contrasting colors into hollowed out spaces to form a design.
