Conservation Plan for Historic Aqueduct, Srirangapatna,Karnataka
IHCNF has carried out the documentation of a rarely noted monument of Srirangapatna over the southern branch of river Kaveri earlier known as the ‘Southern Bridge’ whose history is tied to the that of the channel that flows below it – the Bangaradoddi Nala. The Srirangapatna aqueduct has been a functional aspect of agricultural water supply since c. 1636. IHCNF has prepared the conservation report with the aims of restoration and stabilization of the aqueduct to full functionality.
Conservation Plan for the Garrison Cemetery, Srirangapatna, Karnataka
The Garrison Cemetery situated to the south of the Srirangapatna fort is a crucial part of Srirangapatna’s military history (1761-1860). The cemetery was used to inter officers and soldiers, as well as their family members, who died during and after the Fourth Anglo Mysore War. The project attempts to conserve and maintain the cemetery thereby restoring a crucial historical marker of Srirangapatna’s military history. IHCNF has carried out the documentation, condition mapping and has given a proposal for improvement and up-gradation of the site.
