Sustainable Mega Buildings

In Indian philosophy, nature and its resources are given high regard with many natural resources being considered sacred. Hindu sacred texts refer to the divinity of rivers, mountains, trees, animals, and the earth. Growing urbanization is changing the meaning of pilgrimage, religious tourism and leisure activities associated with riverbanks and their environment has altered drastically. Urbanization is breaking the typical image of ghats all over the country by presenting them as a multiuse space and invite and encourage public participation and presence.

Corrective actions must be taken to ensure that the effects of religious activities are reversed. The objective of this plan is to address the issues that the users face while at the ghat, to maintain and preserve it in the best condition possible. Revamping and redevelopment can project Gwarighat as a cultural, social, religious, and commercial hub. The management plan aims at providing overarching guidelines for the better functioning of the ghat and ensuring that it maintains its cultural and natural integrity and values for ages. All objectives mentioned are planned to be complimentary and implementing them together should produced the desired result of maintaining the integrity of the site as well as improve user experience.
