Care and preservation of Pahari miniature paintings
A study of the Shikharbandhi Jain Derasar at Potters Bar and the Jain Centre in Leicester
I received the Jain Art Fund Award for the year 2010-2011 and it was for a period of one month. The primary purpose of this award was to enable students in India to access Jaina collection of the V&A and other museums and libraries in England, but in my project I wanted to stretch the limitations of the award and include research on Jain diaspora in England. I was particularly interested in recording and collecting material on Jain migration myths and histories and to conduct research on the temple building rituals among the Jain diaspora in England.
Curating Naga collections
I undertook internship placements at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge, National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh, and the British Museum, London.
Monsoons and the Maritime: Trade in India from an archaeological perspective
Before the discovery of the monsoon winds by Hippalus in AD 45–47, the mariners of the east coast of India were aware of the monsoon wind and currents and used them for maritime trade. The maritime trade from India to Southeast Asia was a seasonal phenomenon. The distribution of Buddhist settlements, discovery of varieties of pottery, beads and inscriptions along the ports and trade centres point to active maritime trade between India and Southeast Asia.
