LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

7. PRAMBANAN TEMPLE
This is the most famous and also the most magnificent of Central Java's temples or more precisely
complex of temples. Situated about 15 kilometers from Yogyakarta, the top of the main shrine is visible
from a great distance and rises high above the scattered ruins of the former temples. Prambanan is the
masterpiece of Hindu culture of the tenth century. The slim building soaring up to 47 meters makes its
beautiful architecture incomparable. Seventeen kilometers east of Yogyakarta, King Balitung Maha
Sambu built the Prambanan temple in the middle of the ninth century. Its parapets are adorned with
bas-reliefs depicting the famous Ramayana story. This magnificent Shivaite temple derives it name from
the village where it is located.
There are 240 temples at the complex of Candi Siwa either big or small. But the majority of them have
deteriorated, what is the left are only scattered stones. This complex of the sactuaries can be divided
into 3 groups. Apparenly each temple is built to form the corresponding building.
CANDI SIWA: The central temple at the complex of Prambanan is Candi Siwa, or widely known as the
temple Rara Jonggrang. It is called Candi Siwa becouse in that temple we find a statue of Siwa which is
big and has essential meaning, which signifies that Siwa is a God greatly glorified in the believed of
(Trimurti’s faith ). Trimurti is the worship of a Trinity of Gods : Siwa, Brahma and Wisnu. The most
important of Siwa’s statue is found in the biggest room of the central temple. In other smaller rooms we
see the statue of Siwa as the Mahaguru (Supreme Master) the statue of Ganesha, a god with a
elephant head symbolizing happiness, and the spouse of Siwa as the ruler of universe.
CANDI BRAHMA: It is smaller then Candi Siwa, since Candi Siwa is the main temple. Candi Brahma
has only one entrance as well as one chamber containing the statue of god, Brahma. This Brahma’s
statue is described with four heads. It is beautiful but unfortunatly that it has been damaged.
8. CANDI WISNU : The other temple nearby Candi Siwa is the temple of Wisnu. It has same size as Candi
Brahma. The only chamber found in this temple contains the statue of the god Wisnu. Wisnu is
described as having four hands, with a club, an oyster and a cakra whic is specfically attributed to
Wisnu.
LEGEND OF TEMPLE : Entering one of the room the main temple ( Candi Siwa) we will find a statue of
a very beautiful princess, Rara Jonggrang. According to the legend, Rara Jonggrang was the daugther
of KING Boko, which was cursed into a statue. The legend also says that a young powerful man named
Bandung Bondowoso wanted to marry her Rara Jonggrang. Since she didn’t love him, She tried to
avoid the marriege by asking Bandung Bondowoso a present. She would only marry him if he were
really powerful man. To prove the power, Bandung Bondowoso was asked to build a thousand temples
in one night. Having supernatural power, he had almost sussessfully finishe his task, but Rara
Jonggrang prevents this excellent achievement. Rara Jonggrang asked the maidens of the east village
of the temples to burn the hay and pond the rice in order to cause the situation like dawn time for
sunrise. So when the begins to crow, all the supernatural beings flee away becouse they thought it was
already dawn. Being unable to control his anger, Bandung Bondowoso cursed Rara Jonggrang into a
statue that now complete the temple.
9. KOTA GEDE
Kota Gede, which is often called Sargede is located about five kilometers southeast of Yogyakarta,
Kotagede is a neat little town, which was once the seat of the mighty Mataram Empire. Since the 1930s,
Kotagede has become famous for being the center of the Yogya silverwork industry. There are a number
of workshops where visitors are welcome to watch silver being transformed into beautiful works of art
known as "Yogya Silver". Kotagede is easily reached by "andong", the four-wheeled horse-drawn cart,
by taxi, bus, or car.
In that cemetery complex one can still visit the cemetery of the Mataram kings like Sutowijoyo or Ngabei
Loring Pasar, the founder of Mataram Kingdom, who was then called Panembahan Senopati. There is
also the unique tomb of Ki Ageng Mangir. He was Panembahan Senopati son in law and also
Panembahan Senopati enemy. His dead body was buried half inside of the special area for kings and
Panembahan Senopati families, and a half of his body was buried outside of the complex. There is a
stone called " Watu Gilang ", a stone on which Panembahan Senopati smashed the Ki Ageng Mangir
head to dead.

temples of Gods. Sewu Temple complex is located in Prambanan Temple Park area, about 800 meters
to the north of Rara Jongrang Temples. The fact that this temple was built near Prambanan Temple,
which is a Hindu temple, indicated that the Hindus and Buddhists lived in harmony.

door serves as main door to the main room. That way, the main temple faces to the east. The structure
has 9 'roofs'; each of them forms a stupa on the top. It is believed to be a royal temple and was one of
the religious activity centers in the past. Based on the inscription dated back to 792 AD, which was
found in 1960, the name of the temple complex was probably "Manjus'rigrha" (The House of Manjusri).
Manjusri is one of Bodhisattva in Buddhist teaching. Sewu Temple was probably built in the 8th century
at the end of Rakai Panangkaran administration. Rakai Panangkaran (746 AD - 784 AD) was a popular
king from the old Mataram kingdom. HC Cornelius studied the temple firstly in 1807. NJ Krom did the
