The Third Year Study Trip to Braj, Uttar Pradesh examines the relationship between the imagined and the everyday. Braj is believed to be the landscape of Krishna whose extent is defined by a parikrama or a pilgrimage. Within this landscape 3 smaller pilgrimages were studied. These were around Mathura/ Gokul- the cultural centre of the region and the birthplace and the town where Krishna grew up, Vrindavan-the town where he spent his youth, and Govardhan-the sacred mountain towards the west.
The series of locations along these pilgrimages were studied with respect to their narrative, space, body, ritual, myth and history. The Braj- Architecture of the Parikrama exhibition describes the architecture of the locations along the pilgrimages along with the particular activities, rituals and narratives that exist in that landscape.
