Vikramaditya

The famous iron Pillar located in the Qtub complex in front of the destroyed Jain/Hindu temple is 7metres tall, made of 98% pure wrought iron and has a diameter of 420mm at the ground level. This has withstood rusting for many centuries now, an indicator of the state of Metallurgy in ancient India.

This was first erected in Udayagiri (Madhya Pradesh) by Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya (AD 375-413) in honour of Lord Vishnu (as indicated by the Sanscrit and Brahmi scripts on the pillar which also highlights the valour and qualities of King Chandra, Identified as Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya). Udayagiri is located on the Tropic of Cancer and the pillar signifies important astronomical studies in the Gupta period. There are some archeologists who date the manufacture of the pillar to 912BCE

This pillar was brought from Udayagiri in Madhya Pradesh by the Thomar King Anangpal in 1052. Surprisingly the Muslim rulers who destroyed all the 27 temples spared this pillar.

The 1600 year old wrought iron pillar at the Qutub Minar complex in Delhi is a tribute to the metallurgical skills of ancient Indians. The pillar which is 98% wrought iron has resisted rusting for nearly two millenniums.

Pairon ki bediyan khwabon ko baandhe nahi re, kabhi nahi re
Mitti ki parton ko nanne se ankur bhi cheeray, dheere dheere
Iraade hare hare, jinke seeno mein ghar kare
Woh dil ki sune kare na darre, na darre

Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke choomenge
Aasman aasman aasman
Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke choomenge
Aasman aasman aasman

Aazaadiyan, aazaadiyan
Maagey na kabhi, mile mile mile
Aazaadiyan, aazaadiyan
Jo cheenay wahi, jee le jee le jee le

Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke choomenge
Aasman aasman aasman

Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)
Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)

Aane wala waqt dega panha hai
Ya phir se milenge do raahein
Khabar kya, kya pataa

Recently shot for a Kannada play by the theatre group Rangasiri. I thoroughly enjoyed the play and look forward to seeing their next performance. The play was blended Mythology and folk tales with a message in it told with doses of humour.

This scene has Vikram & Betal (brings back memories of Doordarshan's serial by the same name!)

Tech:
This was shot in low light at meagre shutter speed of 1/15 of a second at 85mm and f/4.8. The VR is amazing. Pushed the D80 to ISO 1000. Results, as you can see are pleasing :-)
