This paper principally deals with the review of Conventional Construction/Architecture Practices i.e. global Mainstream oriented happening in India. The scope of the paper is the city of Jammu-A small Hill city in Northern India. The very fact that conventional Construction practices are becoming same in the country irrespective of the location. The trend is making the Architecture of places worldwide monotonous and is more visible and alarming where strong contextual value exists. Most of the regions in India possess significant contextual forces e.g. Culture, Customs, Heritage intelligence, Local materials, craftsmanship, climatic diversity, socioeconomic pattern and beliefs. All these factors have influenced the appreciable Architecture and construction practices of the past with unparalleled success but conventional contemporary practices are deviating from it enormously. This paper highlights the legible approaches in which conventional construction practices should be approached and implemented in local milieu. Also, the context of Jammu and the problems under the scope of this research are highlighted. Advisory for the future for conventional Architecture of Jammu with related inspirations and guidelines also form an important part of the paper.
This paper aims to document and investigate the remnants of Sikh Samadhis in Rawalakot,
Poonch, located in Pakistan administered Jammu and Kashmir. This paper will focus on two
significant sites, namely, the Gulshan-e-Shauda Gurdwara and the Gurdwara Sahib Draid.
Contemporary archaeological surveys in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir classify
these structures as Gurdwaras, but the researcher contends that their architectural characteristics
and intended use merit reclassification as Samadhis. It will explore the cultural myths and
stories associated with these buildings, as these narratives often provide a deeper understanding
of tangible heritage and help unravel the mysteries of time. Furthermore, this study will
document the construction style, layout, and overall structure of these Samadhis. It is important
to note that a significant portion of the Sikh population was compelled to abandon their homes
and religious sites in the areas of present-day Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir
during the violence in 1947. Consequently, they migrated to Indian-administered Jammu and
Kashmir, leaving behind these religious sites. This paper will illustrate the connections
established by the Sikh community with these sites from the other side of the Line of Control
(LOC). The data were collected through primary and secondary methods. They included archive
reviews, old texts, interviews, focus groups, and site visits
