‘Living Heritage of Mewar: Architecture of the City Palace, Udaipur’ is a presentation of a decade of painstaking efforts in continuity and conservation of this unique repository of the culture of Mewar, Rajasthan, India.

Dr Shikha Jain, the author who also led the teams of conservators in Udaipur, said that the City Palace is an exemplary living cultural heritage that has survived in an unbroken line of custodianship from medieval kingship to modern democracy. Our publication traces the cultural lineage of the palace through its art and architecture to arrive at a conservation model to preserve this magnificent structure for the future.

Dr Shikha Jain said that we have traced the evolution of the palace, its sequence of inner and outer chambers and the subsequent expansions, which added Mughal and British influences to its Mewar Rajput architecture. Our objective was to outline a conservation plan that combines modern and traditional methods within the context of the history, condition and conservation needs of the City Palace of Udaipur.

Dr Deborah Marrow, Director at the Getty Foundation mentions in her foreword that to preserve this jewel for the future as well as manage the normal wear and tear of the site’s many visitors, its stewards recognized the need for a complete conservation plan to guide maintenance of the site’s historic features. The project developed by the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation aligned with the Getty Foundation’s dedication to advancing the practice of conservation through careful research and planning. Now a decade later, we are tremendously pleased with the outcome of the project, and it is rewarding to see the fruit of many years of hard work captured in this handsomely designed publication.

This book illustrated with 165 photographs and 58 drawings is an important resource for scholars, researchers, museum lovers and travel-buffs involved in studying or visiting Udaipur and other areas of erstwhile Mewar.

Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar, Chairman and Managing Trustee of the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation said that he wish to congratulate Dr Shikha Jain for her work and the Getty Foundation for collaborating with us to accomplish this for The City Palace, Udaipur. He further said that the publication marks yet another milestone in our history as we collectively work to present our 'living heritage' to engage global and Indian audiences.

Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar added that since 1984, he has been building on the platforms created by his father, Maharana Bhagwat Singh Ji. Our Foundation is spearheading the revitalization of the City Palace Museum with significant partners like The Getty Foundation, USA and the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. He said that our plans to make the Museum into a world-class institution are bearing fruit. We have indeed come a long way in our trajectory of growth through very tumultuous years.

By Tricitynews Reporter

Kharar/Mohali 02^nd February:- The Sehajdhari Sikh Party is supporting the Congress Party and today the party with its workers and supporters under the leadership of their National President Dr.PS Ranu campaigned door to door meeting shopkeepers and people in favor of Jagmohan Singh Kang and Balbir Singh Sidhu candidates from Kharar and Mohali to vote for Captain Amrinder Singh’s Govt. The Party feels that for a stable Governance only Captain Amrinder is the best choice for Punjab as the AAP who got four MP’s couldn’t stay united then how come it be believed that 117 shall remain under the command of Arvind kejriwal.

Dr. P S Ranu said that the Minorities in Punjab are feeling unsafe under the regime of SAD-BJP where sacrileges of religious Holly Granths went boiling the State for the last two years with a disturbed law and order situations promoting jail breaks by gangsters and cross border terrorist activities which has strengthened the drug and land mafia. Police atrocities on  peaceful agitators fighting for their rights  and humiliation of females and senior citizens is a self speaking picture of the Human Rights violations by the State Govt. SSP has been supporting the INC unconditionally since 2002 continuously and now in 2017 legislative assembly elections in Punjab the party considers it appropriate to again extend its unconditional support to INC in the larger interest of Punjab to save the State from the clutches of fascist forces and to make it a fearless, drug free state.

Dr. P S Ranu stated that it has been observed that the SAD-BJP combine is harping on divide and rule politics by propagating AAP and now to stop them to come in power in the interest of Punjab and Punjabiyat it has been decided to extend support to a largest political party which is a secular force where the interests of minorities are safe and that is the INC only in Punjab under the dynamic leadership of captain Amarinder Singh. Henceforth the support is purely unconditional to the INC by the SSP for saving the Punjab from fascist forces.
