HERITAGE WALK AND CRAFT CORNER

1.1. THE PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

As a part of our Social Connect & Responsibilities Course we, the members of the group,went

on a hike to the Shivagange hills. Social Connect & Responsibilities is an activity-based

course that will offer a set of activities, enables us to connect with fellow human beings, nature,

society, and the world at large.

Shivagange Hills, nestled in the serene landscape of Karnataka, India, stand as a symbol of

spiritual significance and natural beauty. Visiting this sacred site offered us a journey of

exploration, introspection, and connection with both nature and spirituality. The purpose and

objectives of visiting Shivagange Hills are manifold, reflecting the diverse facets of human

experience and aspiration.

First and foremost, Shivagange Hills serve as a center of spiritual pilgrimage and devotion for

countless individuals from various walks of life. The ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva,

perched atop the hills, draws devotees seeking solace, blessings, and spiritual enlightenment.

For many of us, the ascent to the temple was not merely a physical journey but a symbolic

passage

towards inner transformation and communion with the divine. The rituals, prayers, and sacred

ambiance of Shivagange Hills created an atmosphere conducive to introspection, meditation,

and spiritual rejuvenation.

OVERVIEW

The main objectives covered from this activity were:

Historical and Cultural Exploration: Along the trek, we encountered ancient structures, rock

formations, and inscriptions, providing insights into Karnataka's rich historical and cultural

heritage.
Tranquil Retreat: The serene environment of Shivagange Hills offered us a tranquil retreat

from the hustle and bustle of urban life, allowing us to reconnect with nature and find inner

peace.

Location: Shivagange is situated around 54 kilometers from Bangalore city and is

easily accessible by road. It's located near the town of Tumkur.

Religious Significance: The name "Shivagange" translates to "Shiva's Ganga" in Kannada.

The hill is shaped like a Shiva Linga and is believed to be a sacred spot where Lord Shiva

resided. There are several temples and shrines dedicated to Shiva and other deities on the hill.

Trekking: Shivagange offers excellent trekking opportunities for adventure enthusiasts. The

trek involves climbing a series of steps carved into the rocky hillside. The ascent can be

challenging at times, but the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape make it worth the

effort.

Temples and Structures: At the hilltop, there's a small temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, which

is a popular pilgrimage spot. Visitors can also explore other structures like the Nandi statue,

Patalagange (a spring believed to have medicinal properties), and various other temples and

caves.

Cultural Significance: Shivagange is not only a place of religious importance but also

has historical and cultural significance.

HISTORY
Shivagange is a mountain peak with a height of 1,368 metres (4,488 ft) and Hindu pilgrimage
centre located near Dobbaspet, in Bengaluru Rural district India. It is 25 km (16 mi) from the
town of Tumakuru and 54 km (34 mi) from Bengaluru.[1][2][3] The sacred mountain is shaped
as a shivalinga and a spring flow near locally called "Ganga", thereby giving the place its
name. It is also known as Dakshina Kashi (Kashi of the South) and has various temples such
as Gangadhareshwara temple, Sri Honnammadevi Temple, Olakal Teertha, Nandi Statue,
Patalagange Sharadambe temple and several Teertha’s such as Agasthya Teertha, Kanva
Teertha, Kapila Teertha, Pathala Gange.
 DESCRIPTION
Sri Honnammadevi Temple is inside the cave. Sri Gavi Gangadhare Temple is also inside the
cave. Gavi means Cave, Gangadhareshwara means Parameshwara having Gange on the top.
Every January, on the day of Sankranthi festival, the marriage function of Sri
Gangadhareshwara and Sri Honnammadevi (Parvathi) is conducted. At that time, it is claimed
[by whom?] Ganga holy water comes from the rock at the top of hill and that holy water is
used to solemnise the dhare ritual of the marriage function.
The area is a popular site for rock climbing in the Karnataka state.[5] The entire trail to the
peak is well marked and the presence of human-made steps (often carved into the rocky
landscape, but sometimes made from rocks) makes the trail suitable for beginners. There are
frequent rest opportunities with stalls serving food and drinks. The trekking path to reach
summit from foothills is of 6 km (3.7 mi) in a pre-defined path.

The trail becomes steep and narrow near the summit of the mountain - safety rails are provided
in such areas. Monkeys are the main fauna inhabiting the hill.

PEOPLE OF SHIVAGANGE
The people of Shivagange are predominantly Hindus who actively participate in religious
rituals, ceremonies, and festivals.

The region is home to priests, temple caretakers, and local residents who cater to the needs of
pilgrims visiting the hill.

Many devotees and spiritual seekers from different parts of India and abroad visit Shivagange
to seek blessings and experience the spiritual ambiance of the place.

Local artisans and vendors also play a crucial role, offering religious items, souvenirs, and
refreshments to visitors.

The combination of its historical significance, natural beauty, and religious fervor makes
Shivagange a notable destination for pilgrims and tourists alike.

The precaution while trekking to be taken is to hold a stick as monkeys will be starving they
try to attack so to panic them, the small sticks should be carried out.

EXPERIENCE
The experience while climbing was most adventurous as it is steep and even some steps were

half broken and no water till some stalls come while walking no nearest restroom facility or
even medical facility available in some urgency, while climbing we must be pre-hydrated to

avoid such medical issues and the funny thing experienced was while climbing monkeys had

blocked the way to climb as we didn’t even hold a stick to defend ourselves the best part is

that we were having 2 packs of biscuits and there were 2 monkeys, we gave one monkey one

pack of biscuit and started climbing though we met monkeys again they didn’t try to trouble

us.

Climbing the hill was a good experience. It was the first time all the classmates went together

with Sneha ma’am, Gawtham sir. We explored all the temples while climbing the hills which

gave us spiritual peace of mind. The trekking path to reach the top of the hill is of 6km. There

was a small stream of water it is believed that only some lucky people get the Water, as the

water stream is beneath the temple, the most emotional thing we felt was most of the

monkeys were starving for water atleast some of the forest department must care about them

they must collect all monkeys and leave near some water bodies which is fit to drink even we

had tried to give water to them but the cost of water was too high as the shopkeepers bring the

products to the top of the hill, so we are also helpless to monkeys present there.

It really became adventurous as we go up by climbing its like clearing levels of the game as it

is easy to difficult though it made our day with our friends, and even one more incident took

place while climbing, a guy was talking in his mobile suddenly monkeys rushed over him and

took his phone and thrown it away he was literally had a face of crying we tried but we also

did not able to help as we also didn’t carry any stick as a precaution as it was our first time to

explore the hill but the experience made our day we thought it as impossible to

ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

ORGANIC FARMING
Organic farming is a method of agriculture that relies on natural processes and techniques to

cultivate crops and raise livestock. It aims to produce food while minimizing harm to the

environment, avoiding synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically

modified organisms (GMOs). Instead, organic farmers utilize practices such as crop rotation,

composting, biological pest control, and the use of organic fertilizers to maintain soil fertility

and promote healthy ecosystems.

Key principles of organic farming include:

• Soil health: Organic farmers prioritize building and maintaining soil health through
practices like crop rotation, cover cropping, composting, and the use of organic matter.
• Biodiversity: Organic farming encourages biodiversity on farms, which can help
improve ecosystem resilience and reduce the risk of pest outbreaks and crop failures.
• Avoidance of synthetic inputs: Organic farming prohibits the use of synthetic
pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, and GMOs, instead relying on natural and organic
alternatives.
• Animal welfare: In organic livestock farming, animals are raised in conditions that
prioritize their welfare, including access to outdoor areas, space to move around, and a
diet that meets their natural needs.
• Sustainability: Organic farming aims to create sustainable agricultural systems that
minimize environmental impact, conserve natural resources, and support the longterm
health of the land.

Organic farming has gained popularity in response to concerns about the environmental and

health impacts of conventional agriculture, as well as consumer demand for food that is

perceived to be healthier and produced in an environmentally friendly manner. Certification

bodies in various countries set standards and regulations for organic farming practices, and

farms must undergo inspection and certification to be labelled as organic.

Benefits of organic farming
Organic farming offers several benefits, making it useful both for farmers and consumers, as
well as for the environment. Here are some of the key advantages:

Environmental sustainability: Organic farming practices prioritize the health of the soil,

water, and ecosystems. By avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, organic farming

reduces pollution of waterways, soil degradation, and the loss of biodiversity. It also promotes

the conservation of natural resources and helps mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon

in the soil.

Healthier food: Organic farming prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and

GMOs, which can leave residues on food and have been linked to health concerns such as

cancer and hormone disruption. Organic food is therefore perceived as safer and healthier by

many consumers, as it is produced without these potentially harmful chemicals.

Improved soil quality: Organic farming methods such as crop rotation, composting, and the

use of cover crops helps to build soil fertility, structure, and microbial activity. Healthy soils

support robust plant growth, improve water retention, and reduce erosion, contributing to long-

term agricultural productivity.

Reduced antibiotic use in livestock: Organic livestock farming standards prohibit the routine

use of antibiotics and growth hormones, which are common in conventional animal

agriculture. By promoting practices such as pasture-based systems and access to outdoor areas,

organic farming supports animal welfare and reduces the risk of antibiotic resistance in both

animals and humans.

Support for rural communities: Organic farming often involves smaller-scale, diversified

agriculture, which can provide economic opportunities for small and family-owned farms. By

emphasizing local production and direct marketing channels such as farmers' markets and

community-supported agriculture (CSA), organic farming can help support vibrant rural

communities and strengthen local food systems.

Consumer demand and market opportunities: There is a growing demand for organic food

among consumers who prioritize health, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. This

demand creates market opportunities for farmers to command premium prices for organic

products, potentially leading to higher profitability and economic viability for organic farming

operations.

Overall, organic farming offers a holistic approach to agriculture that seeks to balance

environmental stewardship, human health, and economic viability, making it a useful and

sustainable alternative to conventional farming practices.

Case Study:
We were allocated a place HESARAGHATTA as the place for village visit to survey the people

living in village about organic farming and ask would they practice the organic farming and if

they are practicing, we would be knowing some knowledge about how organic farming is

beneficiary to us though we went for surveying them, though we know but they are practicing

it means we lack through some more knowledge about organic farming compare to them as

they are practicing it and in case they don’t know we would suggest them to practice organic

farming for healthy lifestyle and healthy soil like more fertile soil is even beneficiary for next

cultivation again in same land and so many benefits are there and when we went to the place

to survey what we came to know is more people were thinking about the investment to practice

organic farming than thinking about its benefits so in this case we cannot able to help if we are

willing to help we must form some NGO’s (non- governmental organisations) or government

must give subsidy.

In this activity our group had selected Areca nut as a crop. We gathered all the knowledge

about the way to practice organic farming for the cultivation of areca nut. As areca nut is one

of the common crops grown in Bangalore. We found many farmers cultivating areca nut. Out

of all the people we talked with we found one lady using organic manure for cultivation of

her crops. We convinced all the other people to use organic farming.

WATER CONSERVATION

What is water conservation?

Water conservation is the practice of using water more efficiently and avoiding unnecessary

waste. It's crucial for both environmental sustainability and ensuring an adequate supply of clean

water for present and future generations.

Here are some key strategies for water conservation:

Fixing Leaks: Addressing leaks in pipes, faucets, and fixtures promptly can save significant

amounts of water. Even small leaks can add up to gallons of waste water over time.

Water-Efficient Appliances: Installing water-efficient appliances like low-flow toilets,

showerheads, and faucets can greatly reduce water usage without sacrificing performance.

Landscaping Practices: Using drought-resistant plants, mulching, and employing efficient

irrigation techniques like drip irrigation can minimize water usage in landscaping.

Reducing Consumption: Encouraging behaviours such as taking shorter showers, turning off

taps while brushing teeth or washing dishes, and running washing machines and dishwashers

with full loads can all contribute to water conservation.

Rainwater Harvesting: Collecting rainwater for use in gardening, landscaping, or other non-

potable purposes can help reduce reliance on municipal water sources.

Greywater Recycling: Treating and reusing greywater (water from sinks, showers, and laundry)

for purposes like irrigation or toilet flushing can reduce overall water consumption.

Education and Awareness: Educating communities about the importance of water conservation

and providing tips for reducing water usage can encourage widespread adoption of conservation

practices.

Policy and Regulation: Implementing water conservation policies and regulations at local,

regional, and national levels can help ensure that water resources are managed sustainably.
By implementing these strategies and fostering a culture of water conservation, individuals,

communities, and governments can work together to preserve this precious resource for future

generations.

BENEFITS :
Water conservation offers numerous benefits, both for the environment and society as a whole.

Here are some key advantages:

Preservation of Natural Ecosystems: Conserving water helps maintain the health and

integrity of aquatic ecosystems, including rivers, lakes, wetlands, and coastal areas. These

ecosystems support diverse plant and animal species and provide vital ecosystem services.

Mitigation of Water Scarcity: Water scarcity is a growing concern in many parts of the world

due to population growth, climate change, and overuse of water resources. By conserving

water, we can help alleviate pressure on freshwater sources and ensure a more sustainable

supply for future generations.

Energy Savings: Pumping, treating, and distributing water requires a significant amount of

energy. By using water more efficiently, we can reduce the energy needed for water-related

processes, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs.

Financial Savings: Water conservation can lead to reduced water bills for individuals,

businesses, and municipalities. By using less water, households and businesses can lower their

utility expenses over time.

Protection of Public Health: Conserving water helps maintain water quality by reducing

pollution and minimizing the need for wastewater treatment. Clean water is essential for

drinking, sanitation, and hygiene, which are critical for public health and well-being.

Resilience to Droughts and Climate Change: Water conservation measures can enhance

resilience to droughts and climate variability by reducing reliance on finite water resources and

promoting adaptive water management practices.

Sustainable Agriculture: Agriculture is a major water user globally. By adopting water-

efficient irrigation techniques and practices, farmers can optimize water use, increase crop

yields, and minimize environmental impacts.

Community Engagement and Collaboration: Water conservation initiatives often bring

communities together and foster collaboration among stakeholders, including individuals,

businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.

Overall, water conservation is essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability of water

resources and promoting a healthier, more resilient planet for current and future generation

CASE STUDY:
To complete the 4th part of the SCR Activity, we went to the place near agricultural pond and

Hesaraghatta lake interacted with the people of that place. Firstly, we surveyed the people over

there about water conservation. We made them aware about how important is water in our

daily lives.

We talked to many farmers and asked them how they irrigate their farms. Got some knowledge

from them about how they conserve water. For the people who didn’t knew the proper methods

of irrigating their fields we gave them the following information:

Drip Irrigation: This method delivers water directly to the roots of plants through a network

of pipes, tubes, and emitters. It minimizes water wastage by reducing evaporation and runoff.

Mulching: Applying mulch around plants helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation.

Organic mulches like straw, hay, or compost also improve soil structure and fertility.

Rainwater Harvesting: Collecting rainwater from rooftops and storing it in tanks or ponds

for later use can supplement irrigation needs, reducing dependence on groundwater or surface

water sources.

Precision Irrigation: Employing technologies such as soil moisture sensors, weather data, and

remote sensing allows farmers to precisely apply water only when and where it's needed,

optimizing water use efficiency.

Furrow Irrigation: In this method, water is applied between rows of crops in shallow

trenches. By controlling the flow rate and timing, farmers can minimize runoff and ensure

efficient water distribution.

By employing these methods, farmers can effectively irrigate their crops while conserving

water resources for future generations.

 CONCLUSION
Heritage Walk is aimed at creating awareness about the importance of monuments in &

society and encouraging students to protect these great heritage sites for the future Heritage

walks, are best way to learn and recognize our culture, tradition, philosophy, myths, and

associated rituals with them. The walk makes one look back and reminds us of our rich culture

and history, provoking us to think about the existence of every historical structure and place.

A food walk is important to bring back forgotten, hidden or unknown cuisines to the light. Is

important to explore the indigenous food cuisines. In the present world of unhealthy but tasty

food culture it is very important that we revisit the healthy and tasty homemade food

delicacies. This will keep Us grounded to the roots. This complete food lore was fascinating

and introduced our taste buds to the heavens.

The water we drink today is clean but lacks sufficient life energy due to its journey and

processes. When clean water is passed through the Jiva Water Device, the Life Energy is

restored instantly in water. Life energy in water refers to its photoluminescence, biofield energy,

and vibrant life-thriving information that is essential for optimal cellular functions and

hydration. Jiva Water Devices restore Life Energy in water and strengthen your wellbeing.

We recognise that one of the most serious issues in the current state is the devaluation of

trees. To make our world greener and better, we must pay more attention to tree planting in the

future. Individual contributions should be made first. We should also put a stop to tree cutting

and remember that without trees, there will be no life. The tree is very important in our lives.

Everyone should be aware of the importance of tree planting and should motivate and

encourage others to do the same.
