PROBLEM STATEMENT -
“A loss of own identity”
• Most cities are in a transition , and are busy revitalizing and renewing these
economic bases order to move up the value chain and to become more
knowledge intensive places. The culture sphere, without denial is missing link
and solution to all these issues.
• there has been completed cultural negligence in the past few decade ,
with the growth of modern technology. With the influx of new modern
equipment and the craze with western culture adoption, indians are in the verge
loosing their own culture. The idea of adapting to the western culture is
considered prestigious and trendy among this generation as is advertise and
promoted by global icon. The lack in promoting and encouraging may not only
lead to culture extinction but also affect cultural tourism to a greater extent. The
main purpose of this thesis would be to increase the cultural context and to
strengthen the economical and tourism base to uplift local talent.
BANJARA CULTURE -
“origins in the Rajasthan region”
The nomadic tribe or the Banjara are believed to be the descendants of the
gypsies of Europe thousands of years ago who subsequently settled in the desert
areas of Rajasthan. They are considered to be among the most colourful tribes in
India owing to their colourful dresses and jewelry.
This nomadic group of Banjara practice the craft of Banjara tribal embroidery as
well as mirror work. Originated from the Northern part of India, the popular tribe
of Banjaras moved towards the Deccan Plateau in South India in 17th century
during the reign of Aurangzeb, a Mughal Emperor. They are now widely spread
over Deccan Plateau, and they live in small villages which are known locally as
“tandas”. Fine clothes and tribal jewellery ushers beauty for the Banjara women
who wear their cherished jewellery in all its finery. Banjara women wear colourful
ghaghras, cholis, and odnis with bold mirrors and appliqué work.
• The nomadic tribes or the Banjaras were wandering groups. They did not
limit themselves with the boundaries and binds of the urban life. This
spirit of roaming from places to places reflected a sense of liberty.
BANJARA CRAFT’S -

betterment of humanity. Here when we talk about deprived
indigenous people who have been facing detribalisation from many
years, it’s a question how one can help them .

• Culture allows us to assert our existence to ourselves to the extent that

we are not just now but are in essence forever and if this culture is
only thing on the verge of extinction that it becomes a challenges.
Through architecture we can revive and rejuvenate banjara culture
and enhance their imperative

The ECO Needs Foundation has in initiated the Concept of

“Smart Village”

“My idea of village Swaraj is that it is a complete republic.

Independent of its neighbors for its own vital wants. Thus,
every village’s first concern will be to grow its own food
crops and cotton for its cloth.it should have a reserve for
its cattle. recreation and playground for adult and children.
Then if there is more land available. It will grow useful
money crops. the village will maintain a village theatre,
school and public hall. If will have its own waterworks,
ensuring clean water supply. This can be done through
controlled wells or tanks. Education will be compulsory up
to the basic course. As far as possible every activity will be
conducted on the cooperative basis. there will be no
castes such as we have today with their graded
untouchability.
