Echoes of the Past Bijapur
Director : R.Bharathadri
Duration : 52 mts 40 sec
Produced by IGNCA
The land of Bijapur is adorned with the grandiose architecture of Adil Shahis from the 16th-17th century. Adil Shah was lovingly called Jagad Guru Padshah, in recognition of the cultural synthesis he stood for. The film explores the secular, defence and religious architecture, created under him, and examines the collection in the Museum of Archeological Survey of India, established in 1892, specially, its great collection of Deccan paintings. It highlights the visual acoustics of Golgumbaz and the Whisper Gallery, and demonstrates how sound, refracted at 45 degree angle, creates echoes in ten layers.
