Stone Architecture

By about the 6th century bc, stone architecture was being created on the subcontinent. Indian architects soon became highly skilled in the carving and construction of stone buildings. By the 7th century ad, the use of stone had become popular for important buildings of great size.

GRANITE Granite is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase. It forms from magma with a high content of silica and alkali metal oxides that slowly cools and solidifies underground. It is common in the continental crust of Earth, where it is found in igneous intrusions.

LATERITE

Laterite is both a soil and a rock type rich in iron and aluminium and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content.

GRANITE LATERITE BASALT BASALT Compared to granitic rocks exposed at the Earth’s surface, basalt outcrops weather relatively rapidly. This reflects their content of minerals that crystallized at higher temperatures and in an environment poorer in water vapor than granite.

These minerals are less stable in the colder, wetter environment at the Earth’s surface.

Aguada Fort served as one of the first bastions, where Portuguese rulers stood against the invasion of the enemies. During its long history, the fort has played many roles.

It once served as the residence for viceroys and other important dignitaries landing on the shores of Goa and also as a prison in as recent as 1993, after which it was abandoned.

Predating Fort Aguada by half a century, a second, smaller fort that crowns

the headland jutting into the narrowest stretch of the Mandovi, almost facing the capital city Panjim, is the Reis Magos Fort. This Fort, surrounded by sturdy laterite walls studded with typically Portuguese turrets, was erected in 1551 to protect the narrowest point at the mouth of the Mandovi estuary.

old goa Goan traditional architecture had a language of its own, intricate, beautiful and very artistic. The chief building materials involved in a typical Goan house were all very local and indigenous.

Laterite and stone were widely used along with wood, metal and tiles of different patterns and varied styles.

The traditional pre-Portuguese homes were inward-looking with small windows; this reflected the secluded role of women. The houses opened into

courtyards, and rarely opened onto streets. The Catholic houses built or refurbished between the middle of the 18th and the 20th centuries were more outward-looking and ornamental, with balcões (covered porches) and verandas facing the street. The large balcões had built-in seating, open to the street, where men and women could sit together and ‘see and be seen’, chat with their neighbours, or just enjoy the evening breeze.

Hampi is an old town in Karnataka where the famous Vijayanagar Empire was established. Now all are in ruins and are visited by many travellers and tourists.

i p m a h ruins

Hampi or Hampe, also referred to as the Group of Monuments at Hampi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Hampi town, Vijayanagara district, east-central Karnataka, India.

Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 14th century. It is a fortified city. Chronicles left by Persian and European travellers, particularly the Portuguese, say that Hampi was a prosperous, wealthy and grand city near the Tungabhadra River, with numerous temples, farms and trading markets. By 1500 CE, Hampi-Vijayanagara was the world’s secondlargest medieval-era city

after Beijing, and probably India’s richest at that time, attracting traders from Persia and Portugal.

Located in Karnataka near the modern-era city of Hosapete, Hampi’s ruins are spread over 4,100 hectares (16 sq mi) and it has been described

by UNESCO as an “austere, grandiose site” of more than 1,600 surviving remains of the last great Hindu kingdom in South India that includes “forts, riverside features, royal and sacred complexes, temples, shrines, pillared halls, mandapas, memorial structures, water structures and others”.

vitthala temple

The Vitthala temple and market complex is over 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) northeast of the Virupaksha temple near the banks of the Tungabhadra River. It is the most artistically sophisticated Hindu temple in Hampi, and is part of the sacred centre of Vijayanagara. It is unclear when the temple complex was built, and who built it; most scholars date it to a period of construction in the early-to-mid-16th century. Some of the books mention that its construction began during the time of Devaraya II and continued during the reign of Krishnadevaraya, Achuytaraya, and

probably Sadasivaraya and it stopped probably due to the destruction of the city in 1565.

The inscriptions include male and female names, suggesting that the complex was built by multiple sponsors. The temple was dedicated to Vitthala, a form of Krishna also called Vithoba. The temple opens to the east, has a square plan and features an entrance gopuram with two side gopurams. The main temple stands in the middle of a paved courtyard and several subsidiary shrines, all aligned to the east.
