Competition Kit
Sabli is a site of historic significance that now lies desolate and abandoned, under the layers of time. The site that comprises temples and water structures in a setting that is now on the edge of a village that was once most sacred one, lying as it was on the historic trade routes of the region. With its temples and tanks that were commissioned by wealthy merchants as acts of piety, the precinct provided relief and shelter to passing merchants who travelled from one city to another.
The historic structures of Sabli today seem to be encapsulate not only those memories and imprints of the ancient but also those of the recent eras. As water level rose due to construction of a dam in the 1970s, part of the site is now submerged under water. What remains are a few structures on the higher ground; temples and a beautiful five storey deep kund just besides the large water body formed due to the construction of the dam.
The historic site of Sabli now lies in a state of suspended animation, ravaged by the rhythms of time, the precinct needs perhaps a fresh lease of life, a new sense of purpose, lest it withers away from public consciousness and memory.
