Saurashtra and Kutch - HistoryOne of the greatest cluster of Jain monuments in

Gujarat can be seen at Palitana, near the east coast ofSaurashtra, where one of the most impressive templecomplexes in India is situated on a sacred mountainsummit, the Shatrunjaya hill.The temples are set in nineenclosures called Tuks, set on two ridges of thepinnacle, and some of the best works of Jain templearchitecture can be seen in the Khateshwar tuk. Theview of the temple cluster, with its massed domes andshikhars reaching out to the sky, against a backdrop ofhilly countryside and the river Shatrunnnjaya is one ofthe greatest sights you can hope to see during a tour ofIndia. The historic 863 temple complex has exquisitecarvings, jewelled idols and detailed architecture, andan awesome aura of devotion.

In the granite hillsnear Palitana, Sihorewas the capital of theGohil Rajputs in the 17thcentury, and being ther u l e r s o f a p r i m ecoastland often facedbattles and skirmishewith neighbouring rulers.

Sihore Darbargadh was built to defend Gohilwadfrom the Kathi darbars of the Kathiawad hinterlands.The main palace inside the fortifications has a carvedwooden facade and the rooms inside have wallpaintings depicting historic battles and other subjects.From the fort terraces can be seen the granite hills,which provided superb natural defences for SihoreDarbargadh, and hilltop watchtowers from wherewarnings could be flashed to the inhabitants of the town.The Gohils moved their capital to Bhavnagar andcommissioned European architects like Sir WilliamEmerson, whose other works include Calcutta's Victoriamemorial, to built their palaces and public buildings.

West of Palitana is Mt Girnar, which rises 3660 ftover MSL on the outskirts of Junagadh city. The 12thcentury temples on the summit are exquisitely carvedand superbly designed. Near the foot of Mt Girnar arerelics of another religion, Buddhism, which like Jainismpreached non-violence. The edicts of emperor Ashoka,the Mauryan ruler who helped spread Buddhismthroughout south and south eastern Asia in the 3rdcentury BC, have been inscribed on basalt rock enroutefrom Girnar to Junagadh. The hills around Junagadhhave Buddhist cave complexes dating from the rule ofthe Kshtrapas. One of these is in the Uparkot fort, whichrises from a hill over Junagadh city. The Uparkot wasbelieved to be a walled citadel upto the 5th century ADand again during Chudasama Rajput reign from the 9th

to the 15th centuries. The fort has a high wallstrengthened by bastions, with a huge moat inside thewalls, granaries large enough to withstand a long siege,a Rajput palace that the sultans partially converted to amosque after their conquest of Junagadh, Ottomancanons, and two imposing stepwells. The Mughalsconquered Gujarat from the sultans and theirsubhas(governors) of Sorath were based in Uparkotfort. After the decline of Mughal power, the subhasfounded their own dynasty, taking on Babi as their lastname, and became the Nawabs of Junagadh. Duringtheir reign, Junagadh saw the rise of numerousbuildings including palaces, the imposing Baha-ud-dincollege, the old maqbara and the fun-fairish 19thcentury mausoleum complex. A selection of theirhowdahs, palanquins, textiles and furnishings can beseen at the Durbarhall museum.

South of Junagadh is Somnath, well known for its

temples. The Somnath temple is believed to have been

built by Gods and their avtars(incarnations) but the

earliest recorded phase in the history of Somnath's

Shiva temple is the 10th century Solanki reign of

Gujarat. The temple was subjected to plunder and

destruction by invaders over the centuries, and each

time the resilient devotees restored it to its former glory.

The present temple building was renovated in 1950.AD under the leadership of Sardar Patel. Near the

temple is the Prabhas Patan museum which houses

architectural fragments and sculptures from the original

temple of Somnath. A Sun temple, lord Krishna

cenotaph and the Ahilya Holkar temple are other

devotional monuments of Somnath. Lord Shiva, while

stating he was omnipresent, mentioned that Somnath

was one of his 12 important abodes, the reason the

shore temple here is revered as a Jyotirlinga.Like Somnath, Dwarka is one of the important

Hindu shore temples, attracting millions of pilgrims.

From the architectural viewpoint, an interesting temple

is the Rukmani mandir, dated to the 12th and 13th

centuries. Marine excavations indicate the presence of

an ancient city, submerged by the sea.Among the oldest temples extant in India are

Ghumli, Gope and Bileshwar in the hills of Barda,

between the coastal cities of Porbandar and Jamnagar.

These temples date from the 7th to the 12th centuries

and have interesting detailing. The Vikia vav at Ghumli is

among Saurashtra's most impressive step wells.Kutch is another region that has impressive

Hindu temples at Kera, Kotay and Bhuvad , Jain temples

at Badreshwar and Naliya, and shore temples atKoteshwar, most of them dated to the

LETTER TO THE EDITORThe Editor should edit theArticle before it goes for

printing. In August 2019 issue the Article “The UnwrittenHistory of the Sourashtrians of South India” byT.A. Ramesh contains factual errors.

It states that “Nobody knows the SaurashtraScript and also none reads or writes in that language” Itonly depicts the gross ignorance of the author aboutSourashtra language and script.

The Editor also failed to remove the abovesentence which is a prejudiced one.

Sourashtra script is available from 1876.Dr.H.N. Randle, Librarian, India Office Library London,has gone through the the book ‘First Catechism ofSourashtra Grammar’ in Sourashtra script byT.M. Ramarai in 1905. He has written article in BSOASin 1943-46 and in Journal of Royal Asiatic Society,London in October 1944 issue about SourshtraLanguage and script.

The script under the name Saurashtra (SAZ) isincluded in Unicode. Fonts are available and softwareAzhagi + has included Sourashtra language and nowText can be easily composed in Sourashtra Script.Messages in Sourashtra script can be sent throughMobile phones.

Many people are writing in Sourashtra script inFace Book and in Websites. Sonna Kodum readers arenot to be misguided byAuthors like T.A. Ramesh.

Kindly publish this in your SONNA KODUM nextissue and oblige.

In 1998, There are 170,000 employees in Kodak,who sell 85% of the world's photo paper.

In a few years, digital photography took them outof the market. Kodak went bankrupt, and all his staffwent on the road.HMT (watch) Bajaj (scooter)Dinora (TV) Murphy (Radio)Nokia (Mobile) Rajdoot (bike)Ambassador Dinesh (Cloth)

There is no dearth of quality in all of this, but theywere out of the market !!

They have not changed over time. !! You knowthat in the next 10 years, the world will changecompletely, and 70 to 90% of the businesses thatoperate today will be shut down.

Welcome to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.Uber is just a piece of software. Although he does notown a car, he is the largest taxi company in the world.

Airbnb is the largest hotel company in the world,even if they don't own a hotel. There are manyexamples, such as paytm, ola cabs, oyo rooms.

Young lawyers in the US now have no job,because IBM Watson Software provides excellent legaladvice in a moment.

Over the next 10 years, 90% of American lawyerswill become unemployed. 10% will be saved and theywill be super specialists.

Watson's software makes cancer detection 4times more accurate than humans. By 2030, computerswill be smarter than humans.

Reason ???

GET READY TO FACE THE NEXT CHANGE ...

Over the next 10years, 90% of cars willdisappear from the roadsaround the wor ld…Survivors will be electriccars or hybrids…

The roads are empty. Petroleum consumption willbe reduced by 90% and all Arab countries will gobankrupt. You get a car from software like Uber, and in afew minutes the driverless car will be at your door ...

If you share it with someone, the ride will becheaper than your bike. 99% of accidents stop due todriverless cars. This will stop the business called carinsurance.

No job like Driver is left on earth. When 90% ofcars disappear from cities and roads, problems such astraffic and parking will automatically disappear,because a car today is equal to 20 cars, 5 or 10 yearsago,

There was no such place where there was noPCO. Then when the mobile phone came in everyone'spocket, the PCO started to shut down

Then all those PCO people started selling therecharge of the phone. Now the recharge has evenstarted online
