ABSTRACT
For a historic structure or space, importance is given to its connect to tradition, culture and art. How all of these weave together to create a journey of its own, follows next. This thesis study aims to highlight the importance of the 5th and 6th century rock-cut caves, the intangible heritage of Bagh printing in the area, and the regions traditional culture via remnants of the historic Bagh Fort. All of these cultural resources have for long been neglected and no longer attracts visitors . The planned design intervention aims to create a connection between the Bagh Caves and Bagh Printing in the area, in the Fort structure, to make it a more meaningful place- for understanding how culture, art and lifestyle can be bound together.

KUKSHI (19km from bagh)
The absolute most momentous old work of art of Madhya Pradesh is found in caves. The Bagh caves, close to the western town of Mhow, are enhanced with artistic creations on Buddhist points that date generally to the fifth century CE. Originating from about a similar period are the Udayagiri caves (Brahmanical and Jaina religious communities), near Vidisha, which show fine art and rock-cut engineering like those of the notable Udayagiri caves in the neighboring province of Orissa.
Kukshi is a town in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh state, India. Kukshi has population of around 37,482 and as it is a tehsil place. Kukshi is famous for the business of cotton, mirchi, gold and silver, and ready made garments. This city was known in ancient times as Tarapur, Taranpur, Tungiapattan etc., on one of the idols in this temple, there is an inscription in which it is stated that the idol was ceremonially installed at the instance of Shahchandra on Chaitra Sukla 5 in Vikram year 612 at the hands of Acharya Sri Jagachandrasurishvarji.

1.2 About Bagh Village BAGH CAVES
Bagh of Caves are 9 in number located 150 feet above Bagh River and is remarkable as being only out crop of sandstone. The caves extend at total frintage of 750 yards. From the Sculptures and architecture it can be stated it belongs to A.D. 450 to 500. The caves has no image of Buddha carved upon it, as is done in much later caves in ajanta and ellora and this memorial dome apparently was the center of workship. Cave 1, 8 and 9 have collapsedand their interiors are choked,. though cave no. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are standing intact after the rennovations done by Archeological Survey Of India(ASI). The caves hold hestorical importance reflecting through the Paintings and Motifs, Talking about how people used to live in those dark spaces managing the ventilation and light.

BAGH PRINTING Bagh Hand Block Print was once on the stage of disappearing bevause before the decade of 1980 the cloth prepared by Bagh Print was designed according to the traditional dresses of the tribal people and there were limited resources of Bagh print and the person to do it were also limited because young geneation wasn’t intrested to do it. Bagh Printing is a very technical process. Firstly the selection of cloth, as inthis craft the cloth is boiled for dyeing, so it is cumpulsory the clothbeing used in printings made of Natural Fibers. In this process of printing firstly the cloth is cut to extract startch.Many techniques are used in this process it is determined how nicely the cloth is dyed. The print is majorly done in BLACk and RED color.

BAGH FORT In 1982, a hoard of 27 inscriptions issued by the Maharajas of Valkha was discovered at Risawala near Bagh. The inscriptions were issued from a place known as Valkha, which has led to suggestions that the name “Bagh” is derived from “Valkha”. The inscriptions are dated to the years 38-134 of an unspecified calendar era. Historians D. C. Sircar and R. C. Majumdar theorized that the Maharajas of Valkha were subordinates to the Guptas, and the calendar era used in their inscription is the Gupta era starting from 319 CE.[2] Thus, the Maharajas of Valkha can be dated to 4th and 5th centuries CE.[3]

The Cave and Fort has their heritage importance for the town. Both telling about how people used to live back then, and also how spaces used to dwell. Though the Caves were of buddhist monks telling about the history of religion hence acting as INSPIRATION. where as Fort tell aboutthe dynasty and rulers also about people of region the BUILt

Distance btw fort and caves - 7.1km, Distance btw fort and print - 1.9km The town also has history of art that is the Bagh Prints,which is now being revived after years having inspiration from motifs of Bagh Caves. The major people earn there brea from this proffession. which marks as an important PRODUCE for village.

Talking of culture leads to various landscape factors in India. The place has BAGHINI River worshiped by artisans. It’s copper content was high and that would account for all the beautiful deep colors in the fabrics that would be offered from the region. Also, the flowing water would contribute essentially to the dyeing process.

Bagh Printing is an aged old handicraft tradition in India. The craft involves printing through wooden blocks with natural dyes. though for some time people stopped continuing the handicraft because of more using of Synthetic Fabric, some people continued doing it and has now given the craft a different platform where people from different regions of the world come to learn about the same Fig.2.4 Tadi local alcoholic drink
The food they eat is usually maize with garlic and onions, and they also eat chicken and eggs. They make their local alcoholic drink-through fruit of mauwa, and Jamun is known as Mauwa and Tadi, respectively. they believe this drink keeps them energetic the whole day so they can do fieldwork more efficiently

The mystery of a Place lies in the Ruins and the stories associated with it. Bagh Fort also has such stories for its existence. The people nearby the fort believe it to be a fort of seven floors, in which the queen used to go at the topmost floor, to have darshan of Narmada river. Whereas the Panchayat of the village believe that the bagh village was the last village of Gwalior emperor’s kingdom and the Fort marks the entrance to the Kingdom

3.1 Preservation
It keeps the old structure or form of the building intact by repurposing, reserving, and enhancing the place by revitalizing our communities. Preservation is a way by which people can relate to the history and learn more about the culture, systems, structures, lifestyles, and many such things. Basically, it makes a connection with our past in a significant manner.
Fig.3.1Before and after image of an adaptive reuse project
Adaptive reuse is Recycling and Conversion of an existing building, reusing an existing building, with its cultural as well as heritage importance. This is merely done for the preservation and conservation of cities with rich culture and heritage. When applied to the built environment, adaptive reuse takes derelict structures and breathes new life into them. For instance, an old building’s architectural features can be preserved when converting it into another structure. At the same time, an abandoned stretch of road could be repurposed into a place that sparks social change. It is the fusion of past and present, by identifying needs for the future. It is a journey of the function of space converted wholesomely in some other function, according to the need identified like an old bunker turned into a cafe. It is relating old to new, new forms, new functions. Adaptive Reuse Architecture or design is a more sustainable method as it enables the use of the existing structure with less new material, conserving natural resources. This process usually happens in four ways that are, Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, and Reconstruction.
3.2 Rehabilitation The process of adding functionality to the old structure by repairing or alterations is rehabilitation. It gives new use to space, yet structure talks about the history and culture of it. Associating individuals with space and past to the present.
3.3 Restoration
It is creating the replica of the place by depicting the form, feature, and character of the space. To give the same experience as it was in the past centuries. Through which people could relate to the history and culture of the place. It also aims at removing the material added in the different time periods to what it originally was in the past.
3.4 Reconstruction
Reconstruction is recreating vanished portions of the building according to the needs of the current situations. Recreation is characterized as the demonstration or procedure of portraying, by methods for new construction, the form, feature, and detailing of a non-enduring site, landscape, building, structure to duplicate its appearance at a particular timeframe and in its historic loction.
16
17
3.5 Methodology Of Adaptive Reuse a) Existing site potential to add new elements to the structure b) Observing the heritage elements on site c) learning about the landscape at which site stands d) Understanding the culture and heritage e) Availability of resources f) Recognizing the need for people living there g) maintaining the cultural and heritage importance of the place
