Conservating bodies, restorating souls. Master Plan for the recovery of Rāy Pravīṇ Mahal and its gardens
Abstract
The project in question consists in a Master Plan for the recovery, body and soul, of Rāy Pravīṇ Mahal and its gardens, in Orchā, India. By this we mean, on the one hand, the conservation of the physical monument per se –the body– and, on the other hand, the restoration of its original atmosphere, of its artistic ambient –the soul–. Therefore, it has been sought to rescue and redirect this space: first by consolidating its architectural, pictorial and landscape vestiges, and then giving prominence to women and the development of the ephemeral arts that gave sense to that space: dance, music and poetry. In this article, instead, we will focus on the landscape and the gardens that surrounds the monument.
