DISCLAIMER Much of Jharkhand’s history is shrouded in myths, folklore and hearsay. The research for the book was limited to much an extent owing to the dearth of academic study on architecture in Jharkhand. Heritage in the state has been long treated with indifference, with least efforts taken in conservation or in documentation of the same.

This book is a photographic essay of the architectural legacy in the state, and the text a commentary based on our observations and interpretations, and thus should not be used for academic referencing. Also, the timeline mentioned for the buildings are merely to give an approximate idea of their period. This too should not be taken for further referencing as they have been picked up from miscellaneous sources.

The documentation is only preliminary and the beginning of a longer project. This edition might have missed out a few significant buildings, which would hopefully be added further over later publications. Additional details of the featured sites and cross verification of all data shall also be taken up as a continuing process from here on. The authors have put together all their efforts to compile the information to the best of their knowledge, but still wish to apologise in advance if any unintentional erroneous information has been mentioned.

The readers are requested to contribute to the documentation if they have verifiable information that could be added to the book. Details can be mailed to bookiiajh@gmail.com.

On confirmation, it shall be definitely incorporated in the subsequent editions.

Introduction

J

harkhand, the 28th state of the country, was carved from Bihar’s bifurcation on the 15th of November, 2000.

Jharkhand, geographically the Chhotanagpur Plateau, is one of the most ancient geological formations in the country. A hilly undulating plateau characterized predominantly by tropical forests. The state has interesting physiography, as it consists of four series of plateaus of different heights.

All through history, the region remained untouched in their isolated mountain fastness, walled off from the outside world by chains of wooded hills. It is known to be the pride of the nation because of its mineral richness. As we go through the history of this region we also find remains of various eras. The story of this land has been marked in various books of history narrated by travelers kings and thinkers. Although as a state we still have no such books written to mark these various eras and no significant record of the architectural remains. There are forts and mosques

of the Mughals, palaces and temples of the kings, and various churches and institutions built in the British period. All of these have contributed to the heritage of present-day Jharkhand.

Even after 21 years of its formation, this state has had no proper documentation on the past architectural heritage or even the present-day architecture. There was a need to document these heritage structures so that they help us get an architectural vocabulary of the state. This could be developed as a unique interpretation in the modern-day face of Jharkhand.

The Jharkhand Chapter of the Indian Institute of Architects took up this project soon after its formation. After travelling across the lengths and breadths of the state and documenting buildings, and the unfortunate delay due to the pandemic, the book is finally here.

Sites documented

Abstract rock art found on the walls of Isko Caves

First in the Forest The Prehistoric Age The Chhotanagpur Plateau has been witness to the prehistoric man. The rock art found at various places across the state are testament to the above fact. Interestingly, there is another tangible proof of early settlement where we find large grounds of megaliths at various sites in this region. Whether these were burial grounds or had some astronomical or religious significance can be a matter of discussion, but these clearly are proof of historical tribal presence in the land and symbolise their title deeds. Even today, several tribes of Jharkhand erect huge monoliths to mark village entrances or significant events.

Isko Caves, Isko Hazaribagh

Type of Building

In the densely forested scenic village of Isko, 30 km off Hazaribagh, is the recently discovered rock art dating back to the Meso-Chalcolithic (7000-4000 BCE) age. Cave walls finished in ochres and locally accessible minerals represent domesticated beasts such as bison and buffalo, along with deer, frogs, and turtles.

The walls feature abstract geometric forms which need interpretation. Inhabitant ‘Ganju’ and ‘Kurmi’ tribes have taken up this rock painting tradition and painted their homes.

Apart from Isko, rock art has also been discovered at other places such as Raham, Satpahar and Thethangi.

First settlers of the land Our Indigenous Tribes

.

Jharkhand is home to 32 tribes, all having their own language and cultures. Tribes are known to have been settling in this region over the last four thousand years, probably even earlier.

The wooded hilly terrain of the state created a safe cocoon for tribes to peacefully grow and evolve without any external disturbances through a major period in history.

The architecture, planning and construction techniques although appearing primitive, are unique, when compared to rest of the surrounding regions.

Munda Settlement, Balo Murhu

Type of Building

Village settlement

The Mundas are among the original settlers of Chhotanagpur region. They constitute most of the tribal population in Jharkhand. The language spoken by them is Mundari, belonging to the Austro-Asiatic language family. The tribe has been nomadic hunters for most of history and has recently turned to settled cultivation in the last few centuries.

This indicates an impact on the primitive housing typology and spatial organization of Munda villages.

Houses are separate single-room mud cottages, with a circumbulatory space around the room.

The rooms are short of proper light and ventilation because of small-sized fenestrations and serve as storage spaces.

A group of independent units is organized around an open court where most of the daytime activities take place.

These courtyards are linked to other yards which organically develop as newer houses are built over generations. The interconnected courts act as the pathway in this settlement.

The spatial arrangement of the village is organic.

An understanding of order is established with a connection from the ‘Sarna Sthal’, the sacred grove, to the ‘Akhara’, the ceremonial ground.

The passage is the major procession route for festivals and serves as the main road for the village. Megaliths often mark the entrance of the village.

The construction technology differs region to region depending on the available materials.

Walls are constructed in layered rubble masonry,

with roofs of bamboo rafters and purlins, covered with the thatch or baked terracotta tiles.

The windows and doors have wooden shutters, frames, and lintels.

Cob walls can be seen in areas with unavailability of stone. A mud platform along the plinth, of the houses, is used as seating. The floors and the walls are hand plastered with mud mixed with available oxides to add colour.

The forests of Jharkhand have been witness to pilgrims and travellers through history, who would travel from Puri in Odisha and Tampralipti in Bengal to Gaya and Varanasi, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu being among the most notable. Buddhism and Jainism also saw their initial growth in this region. One would randomly find ancient ruins and statuaries dotted across the length and breadth of the state.

Although here exists a culture where every few decades, additions are made to old temples, which makes it very difficult to trace their actual history.

Temple shrine atop the hill

Khekhparta Temple, Lohardaga

Type of Building Religious

A flight of stone steps leads to a lone humble shrine atop the hill in the Khekparta village, devoted to Lord Shiva. The structure is built in the ‘Rekha deul’ style of the Kalinga school of temple architecture. Constructed of the local boulders, apparently derived from the hill itself, the place of worship has been built without any additional foundation. There is a narrow 1 m high doorway that leads into the inner sanctum or the ‘garbhagriha’. The temple is planned in ‘triratha’, i.e., three facets are noticeable from each cardinal direction. An ‘amlaka’ crowns the ‘shikhara’, taking the structure’s peak to about 4 meters. The details on the elevation appear similar to the temples of the late Gupta period. It is one of the rare examples of pre-Islamic Hindu buildings in the Chhotanagpur plateau.

MUGHALS & THE NATIVE PROVINCES The Mughals had an influence across all geographies in the country. “Jharkhand”, as the region was first named in their records, could not remain untouched for long.

Apart from some initial construction activity in the north eastern part of the state, there were no direct architectural commissions. Although a major impact was after the imprisonment of the local Nagvanshi king by Emperor Jahangir.

Having spent twelve years in prison in Gwalior, the Nagvanshi Raja Durjan Sal returned home with aspirations to build monumental palaces and temples and collect taxes and maintain an army. The Nagvanshi dynasty known to be 2000 years old is central to Jharkhand’s history.

Meanwhile the Ramgarh Raj family also grew to prominence. In the north west the Chero dynasty had its influence. Towards recent history, princely states and zamindari states gained importance, such as Saraikela and Kharsawan.

Teliagarh Fort, Sahibgunj Year Unknown

Placed on the cliff overlooking the Ganges was this noble fort, now in ruins. It was known as the Gateway of Bengal, claiming that Teli Zamindar was the one who built this fort which is named after him. It remains to indicate that there were magnificent arches. The fort was built of stone and brick. There only remains the external wall of the fort where the black colour stone was used.

Fort

During the early 20th Century, a stone pillar with figures of the Buddha, covered on its four sides, was discovered at the southwestern corner of the fort. It is now worshipped by the local tribes.

This fort was raised at such a place that for anyone to enter the Chotanagpur region, they had to cross this pass, and hence was used as a position to secure the area for the then ruler.

The arrival of the British and Missionaries marked the next major milestone on Jharkhand’s history.

Missions from different churches arrived from all over Europe, and worked for the emancipation of the tribes, imparting modern education and spreading the religion.

The British brought with them government and administrative institutions. The newly developing towns or ‘hill stations’ of Jharkhand began to attract outsiders for their pleasant weather.

Another major development during this period was the discovery of iron and coal. The inaccessible forest land which lay undisturbed for years, suddenly began to undergo major urbanization, with the coming of highways and railways. Not to forget, this period began to see the first uprising revolts from the tribal, most famously of Bhagwaan Birsa Munda.

On 18th November 1851, the foundation stone of the Gothic building, popularly recognized as the Gossner Evangelical Lutheran church on the then Ranchi Chaibasa Road, was laid. Pastor Herzog oversaw the construction of the church, which took four years to finish.

This church, consecrated at Christmas 1855, was called Christ Church. This was the first Christian church built in Chhotanagpur, which has a capacity of 500 people.

The Christ Church is one of the most prominent landmark buildings in Ranchi. The foundation stone was laid in the year 1851 by the German Missionaries. Built during the 19th Century, the church stood in great magnificence with a simple geometrical form. The walls are supported by buttresses, with a front porch having two lancet windows in the neo-gothic style of architecture.

At the entrance is the church bell housed in a tower. A stair goes to the first floor of the bell tower, where the pipe organ for the church service is placed on a balcony.

The structure has a modest rectangular-shaped plan, with a semi-circular altar and lancet windows.

The church has unique combined columns of an octagon and circular shape. The roof rests on the wooden truss in the form of pointed arches.

The interior is simple but elegant.

During the Indian rebellion of 1857, the missionaries had to flee their stations. Meanwhile, Ranchi was plundered by sepoys who sought to destroy

The Town of Jamshedpur Planners

Julian Kennedy and Axel Sahlin Col. Frederick Charles Temple Major P.G.W. Stoke Otto Keonigsberger

Type of Settlement Colonial

The story of the architectural heritage of Jharkhand is incomplete without acknowledging the contribution of Jamshedji Tata and the succeeding generations of the Tata family.

Apart from the significant contribution to the region’s economy, something equally noteworthy is the creation of the town of Jamshedpura model town that is the perfect case of sustainable industrial development. Tata had a clear idea that along with a steel factory, a great planned township should also come up with all modern facilities from playfields, social clubs to places of worship. An American named Julian Kennedy got the job of town planning, followed by Otto Koenigsberger, the reputed German architect for landscape design.

With the commencement of steel production in 1912, the city promptly attracted people from all across India and the world.

The city’s most iconic building is Regal Mansion, or Bharucha Mansion, built in 1935, which used to be the first home of Parsis, who came to Jamshedpur for work. In 1940, the first organised hotel named Boulevard Hotel was set up by John D’costa. Tata Main Hospital, the oldest hospital of

.

the city, had come up in 1908, five years before its first production of steel. The architectural style of the buildings of Jamshedpur in its initial years resonated strongly with the prevalent neo-gothic and neo-baroque style in Bombay, reflective of the patronage from the Parsi community.

Gradually, a cosmopolitan culture developed here with social clubs, hotels, cafés, sports grounds, churches and libraries. Some of the iconic clubs like United Club, Beldih Club, Golmuri Club etc. are still active with their colonial club houses aptly decorated with their vintage furniture.

Churches also came up for the growing Christian population, the oldest one being St George Church, was built in 1916. The Beldih Church (1923) and the St. Mary’s Church (1926) are also architecturally notable.

The town has been consistently keeping up the

global trends in architecture. The latest in this line is the Centre for Excellence, an art gallery and the archival museum of Tata history.

India saw the light to freedom and began to take her first steps towards development and modernization. The Chhotanagpur plateau, the then region of south Bihar was an important resource to be tapped into. Industries, dams, mining and power projects began. It also started to develop as a knowledge centre with several schools and colleges of national importance getting built. The new government buildings departed from the heavy colonial architectural style to the new international modern style.

Experiments began with concrete, and architects started to look towards cost effectiveness and regional inspirations. It was an era of self-discovering an identity, not just for the state but for the country as a whole. .

Netarhat School, Netarhat 1954 AD

Built by

Netarhat was a British camp at first, which soon became a summer retreat during that time and is still known as the ‘Queen of Chotanagpur’.

This Residential School was opened on 15th November, 1954 at Netarhat. Mr. Frederick Gordon Pearce, the founder of the Indian Public School Movement, played an important role in establishing Netarhat school. With his help, the Bihar Government planned to set up a public residential school in the state. Mr. Frederick Gordon Pearce worked on the detailed plan of

the Netarhat School along with Jagadish Chandra Mather and Sachidanand Sinha.

This school building was a revivalist attempt into the gurukul school of thought post-independence.

The building complex is arranged with a circular garden, similar to an 'aangan'. The main block is the focal point from the gate and various department blocks. Verandahs with wooden columns & sloping roofs with terracotta tiles give a very local appearance which goes very well with the pine trees.

After years of demand for a separate state, Jharkhand finally bifurcated from Bihar on 15th November 2000 on the birth anniversary of the revolutionary Bhagwaan Birsa Munda and Ranchi became the state capital.

All of the large towns saw development in the government institutions and thus mass influx of people and rapid urbanization. The building byelaws got updated and the real estate sector was hence encouraged to build denser and higher. People were now more exposed to national and international trends, and the aspiration started to reflect on the architectural style as well. Architects from all over began to get invited to design contemporary landmarks in the cities. New cladding materials became more and more common, driven by market demand. An impatient rush of capital has been changing the city skylines faster than ever before.
