Sharing glimpses of the richness of Hadoti:

“Hadoti is a rare repository of many artistic old temples dating from Gupta period to the sixteenth century… About 50 kms south-west from Kota, near Rawatbbhata at ‘Badoli’ stands a group of 9 temples out of which the largest and the most exquisite is the Ghateshwar Mahadev temple. This temple is the finest example of the temple art and architecture in whole of Rajasthan. The idol of “Sheshshai Vishnu” from the group if Badoli temples, is also now being exhibited in the Government Museum at Kota”
[Taken from Dr. Jagat Narayan's ‘The eternal heritage of Hadoti’. p. 10: 2019]

HUMANS OF HADOTI HERITAGE
Beauty lies in what we can do. This is the story of the new campaign that is being initiated by INTACH Kota Chapter. It is through ‘Humans of Hadoti Heritage’ that we wish to appreciate and recognise the efforts of individuals towards maintaining, preserving and enhancing the tangible and intangible heritage of this region. This is a humble beginning but would definitely be a source of inspiration for many out there. Do your own bit to maintain the area’s heritage. Towards the end of every month one member shall be recognised by INTACH Kota Chapter through the online platform of Facebook as well as Certificate of Recognition. Are you ready to see yourself up here! If you can do it, all can do it. Please find the attached document for more details.

Preserved in a special helium-filled case in the library of the Parliament lies the original Constitution of India. The document is a testament to artistic skills of Shantiniketan. Under the guidance of Nandalal Bose, and hand-calligraphed by Prem Bihari Narain Raizada, the document epitomises rich Indian tradition. Nibs of around 256 calligraphers were involved in completion of this work. This stylised manuscript includes twenty two illustrations, borders in typical Shantiniketan style. Different periods of Indian history are depicted here ranging from Indus valley civilisation era to Vedic period. The Guptas, Mauryas, Mughals are also represented. The miniature style is heavily drawn from Ajanta and Bagh murals.

It was on this day, 26th January 1950, that the Constitution of India came into effect for its people.

Rivers are testament to history, story and magnificence. Kota’s Chambal River is no different and so is the breath-taking Garadia Mahadev. Located on the banks of Chambal River, the beauty around this temple renders one speechless. The magical charm of this site gets enhanced by a few notches when dark clouds fill up the firmament and pour their cooling waters. The Shiva temple rests a few steps from the main viewpoint.
