TOMB OF SIKANDER LODHI | MAUSOLEUM OF SIKANDER LODImanoj chauhan
MAUSOLEUM OF SIKANDER LODI
The lodhi dynasty (or lodhi) was An afghan dynasty that ruled
The delhi sultanate from 1451 to 1526.
It was the last dynasty of The delhi sultanate and was founded by bahlul khan
Lodi when he replaced Dynasty.
Indo-Islamic architecture is the use of Hindu and Islamic elements in combination.
The trend begun when Hindu artisans were forced to create Islamic structures for the Delhi Sultans who having arrived in India on conquest and plunder lacked artisans and architects.
Under later dynasties, Islamic immigrants trickling into the realm (and in greater numbers during the Mongol invasion of the Middle East) added to the talent pool with newer ideas and authentic Middle Eastern styles.
The mix of styles and use of elements gradually evolved overtime reaching its pinnacle under the Mughals.
The mausoleum of Sikandar Lodi is taken to be the first of the garden mausoleums built in the sub continent.
Inspired in parts by Muhammad Shah’s Mausoleum situated a little distance away, its most visibly distinguishing feature is its octagonal plan and garden inside.
Out of the two types of tombs constructed during the period, the octagonal design appear to be associated with royalty than the more numerous square type.
The tomb was an innovation in mausoleum complexes built during the reign of the Delhi Sultanates.
Enclosed within a raised fortified complex, with two dome shaped Chattris (umbrella shaped domes) at the main entrance, the octagonal mausoleum sits in the middle of a large garden.
The housing space is ringed by a wide veranda with lightly carved pillars placed at measured intervals.
Crowning the head of the mausoleum is a single dome with a lotus finial at the top. The interior is ornamented with tiles beneath which is a single tomb.
The compound outside has an open air mosque built into the western wall with a paved platform for holy men to offer prayers for the soul of the sultan.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. LALBAGH KELLA
Lalbagh Fort (also Fort Aurangabad) is an incomplete 17th century Mughal fort complex
that stands before the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The construction was started in 1678 AD by Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah
who was son of Emperor Aurangzeb and later emperor himself. His successor, Shaista
Khan, did not continue the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688. Mughal prince
Muhammad Azam third son of Aurangzeb started the work of the fort in 1678 during his
vice-royalty in Bengal. He stayed in Bengal for 15 months. The fort remained incomplete
when he was called away by his father Aurangzeb. Shaista Khan was the new subahdar of
Dhaka in that time, and he did not complete the fort. In 1684, the daughter of Shaista
Khan named Iran Dukht Pari Bibi died there. After her death, he started to think the fort
as unlucky, and left the structure incomplete. Among the three major parts of Lalbagh
Fort, one is the tomb of Pari Bibi. After Shaista Khan left Dhaka, it lost its popularity. The
main cause was that the capital was moved from Dhaka to Murshidabad. After the end of
the royal Mughal period, the fort became abandoned. In 1844, the area acquired its
name as Lalbagh replacing Aurangabad, and the fort became Lalbagh Fort.
3. AHSAN MANZIL

been designated as a national museum. In Mughal era, there was a garden house of
Sheikh Enayet Ullah, the landlord of Jamalpur porgona (district), in this place. Sheikh
Enayet Ullah was a very charming person. He acquired a very big area in Kumortuli
(Kumartuli) and included it in his garden house. Here he built a beautiful palace and
named it "Rongmohol" (Rangmahal). He used to enjoy here keeping beautiful girls
collected from the country and abroad, dressing them with gorgeous dresses and
expensive ornaments. There is a saying that, the foujdar of Dhaka (representative of
mughal emperor) in that time was attracted to one of the beautiful girls among them. He
invited Sheikh Enayet Ullah in a party one night and killed him in a conspiracy when he
was returning home. That girl also committed suicide in anger and sorrow. There was a
grave of Sheikh Enayet Ullah in the north-east corner of the palace yard which was ruined
in the beginning of the 20th century.
