Abstract

Heritage sites convey a path of evolution of development in and around its surroundings. The aim to study this local heritage site is to recognize the importance of Maharaja Ajj Sarovar which is most known to local residents but somehow abandoned for the outside world. This particular historical site has religious importance also. The morphology of the site conveys lot of transformation in different eras. The objectives of the paper are to study and analyze consequences of urban makeovers in due time on status of Socio- economic growth, habitat and urban pattern (in form of built environment and infrastructure). Authors found that the heritage site was abandoned for long time and now some developments are being done by consuming the site area which should not be undertaken. It is found after detailed study and surveys that the cultural values of the site are not being maintained as a historical and religious site. The paper suggests the development plan that will bring economic development, environmental enhancement, and more social equality and contribute to sustainability, resilience and quality of life in an urban reform. It is conveyed through the survey and analysis that this haphazard growth around Ajj Sarovar needs attention of both the users and the policy makers to intact the integrity of the site.
