-Hindawi Swarajya Stambha Design

TYPE- RESIDENCIAL LOCATION- RAIRESHWAR,BHOR. YEAR- 2023

BRIEF -

India is a mystical land with many ancient, beautiful temples spread across its landscape. Many temples carry with their legacy stories of courage and grit.

Raireshwar temple is also known for an interesting story related to Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his oath. Moreover, the mystical Raireshwar temple is a witness to India’s early struggle for independence or SWARAJ.

The main challenge of this project To design a stambha representing legacy and symbolises history of swarajya .

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT -

The initiation that began with the lightning inside the Havan kunda in the form of aahuti (sacrifice) symbolised the conquests won for Swaraj.

This aahuti continued to burn relentlessly until the last breath of Maharaj.

PLAN -

The stambha can be reached through two entrances from the ground level.

It also consists of a ramp that people can have a closer look towards the stambha so that the inscriptions.

The people who devoted their life as to keep the burning flame alive names of their gharanas would be carved/inscribed chronologically over the stambha .

Eight faces of stambha shows Asthapradhan Mandal of Swarajya which represents Maharajas transparency in his works.

And the rajmudra emblemed on the top face of the stambha as it symbolize as Kings final say.

MATERIALS-

Materials used would be stone masonry.

The kunda walls or parapet of the inner stage is to be built using the seven coloured soil found near Raireshwar

The element of a traditional hindu depastambha to h symbolize the historical events of paramount importance .
