Probing into heritage conservation in Puducherry

Kandarp Bhatt

Abstract


Out of natural and cultural heritage identified by UNESCO, cultural heritage remains of more context/importance to architects. Worldwide, many architects have contributed to restoration/conservation of architects. This article deals with contribution by one of such architect from Puducherry, Late Ajit Koujalgi. Article describes 9 of his outstanding works. It is more through images and therefore article also needs to be taken more as a visual delight. India has rich architectural heritage. Many architects have put in efforts for conservation of it. Late architect Ajit Koujalgi remains one among these architects. He identified and conserved many such architectural projects. Remembering such architects occasionally, periodically helps one. Probing into heritage conservation by architect Ajit Koujalgi is a true homage, tribute to him.
