Objective behind the trip
The objective behind the trip to Mandu was to familiarize the students with the historical surroundings and lifestyle of the ancient past as well as life in the plateau of Malwa.


Observation of Students
Observation of Students: The students were deeply impressed by the delicate and intricate work of jalies on stone as well as the lofty Tombs and Mahals. They observed that The Jami Masjid and Hoshang Shah Tomb are the best examples of brilliant architectural designs reflecting huge domes and arcs of pillars. They admired the famous Jahaz Mahal and the Champa-Baodi which was called so because of the sweet flavour of its water which is said to have smelled like the Champak flower.

     

Observation of Teachers
The teachers were spellbound with the information they received regarding the conservation of water and the methods adopted in those days to ensure that even in the worst days of summer the rooms were kept cool and comfortable with gentle breeze flowing from the pavilion to the rooms through the gallery and then finally passing out of the top of the well. A short distance from the well we saw the Hammam or the Hot Bath and Sun Bath that the Queens of that time enjoyed. A valuable observation was that of filtration of water in ancient times, where rain water flowed down the sloped terraces of the Rupmati Pavilion and collected in a tank which was layered with fine sand and coal through which water was filtered and supplied to the Raj Mahal for drinking . The Rupmati Pavilion was an ideal location for the queen from where she could get a perfect view of the Narmada River.

     

 

Observation of team leader
The team leaders observed the enthusiasm of the students, their eagerness to learn more about the past and present alike. A healthy and rewarding interaction between student and teacher was observed. The genuine concern and human feelings of our Director Bernard Sir to ensure that the students were taken good care of in the summer heat by supplying them with endless rounds of Cool drinks and Bisleri water at regular intervals to ensure they did not suffer from dehydration.
