About the Topic: Lalitagiri, Ratnagiri and
Udayagiri, about two and a half hours away from Bhubaneswar, were major centers
of Buddhism. The remains at Lalitagiri have been dated as early as 3rd C CE;
Ratnagiri and Udayagiri developed subsequently. They were great centers of
Vajrayana buddhism between the 7th and 11th centuries. Archaeological
excavations from 1958 and more recently in 1997-2000 have unearthed the ruins
of a grand monastic complex with magnificent shrines. The sites have numerous
sculptures of the Mahayana and Vajrayana pantheon as well as hundreds of votive
stupas. The talk will include a quick overview of the three sites as well as an
introduction to the basics of Buddhist iconography in Odisha.
About the speaker: Shyam Raman is a graduate in
Mechanical Engineering and a post graduate in Management. He is currently
employed with a large conglomerate based in Chennai. In the past few
years, he has been an active participant in the events of the Tamil Heritage
Trust.

About
the Topic: In a land with no perennial rivers, it is the system Eris
and canals that have been the backbone of Tamil culture since the most
ancient of times. In short, they have transformed the landscape to make
agriculture possible. They were built by both kings and commoners, and
engineered with precision. In these times of unpredictable floods and
droughts, groundwater depletion and land use changes, the significance
of these structures is magnified. We will try to examine their history
and their technology, and explore their relevance for today.
About
the speaker: Shashwath is an electronics engineer by profession, but an
environmentalist and heritage enthusiast by interest. He has been
involved in environmental and water issues in Chennai city since
childhood, and has most recently been a part of the Cooum Cultural
Mapping project. As a heritage enthusiast, he has contributed to Poetry
in Stone, and has documented several heritage sites both in Tamil Nadu
and outside.
