 ABOUT JANAK TAAL
• Janak taal is a water body, it has 5 structures
and it was used for entrainment purpose and
for boating and later it was used for
immersion of religious sculptures and it
affected the quality of water there and also
the structure was affected by human activity .
Its value is cultural heritage.
 CULTURAL VALUE
• The cultural value of janak taal can be
preserved as in previous time various singing
programs were held in that place but now it is
used for drinking and bluffing cards. So if this
place is conserved again the cultural value of
this place can be saved.
 LOCATION
BAHODAPUR ROAD
 METHODOLGY
• First we visited the site.
• We analyzed the surround of the site.
• We analyzed the structure took
measurements and draw plans and elevations
• We found decays and damages there.
 TYPOLOGY
• Water body.
 WHY THIS BUILDING SHOULD BE
CONSERVED
• Janak taal can be a good tourist spot as it is
surrounded by mountains and a 5 star hotel
deo bagh is near to this place. Also a temple is
near this site so people can visit this also. The
structures of janak taal has its own value and
if this site can be conserved it can attract
tourists from other places and also increase
the value of the city.

DECAY & DAMAGE IN
STRUCTURE
 INSECT
• Organic material are most valuable to insect attack
• Masonry issues
Near the jali pattern plaster was filled causing loss in its
original value.
the column ornamentation were damaged as its cracks
were filled by cement and later it was also cracked and the
cement has left its spot so decreasing its original value.
THERMAL EXPANSION
• Crack are formed in the structure
due to thermal expansion.
DAMAGE DUE TO AGING
Due to aging of stones
and environmental
factors the black spot has
occurred over stone.
 DECAY
due to ageing of stones, cracks appeared and also the color of stone
changed.
Due to ageing of stones and because of environmental
conditions the building has lost its strength. Several parts of
the building is shaking with very less force applied and the
material is falling by touching it.
MOISTURE

• Rainwater penetration
into the individual
material of the structure
causes more damage.
• Faulty disposal of
rainwater is the most
frequent causes of
deterioration in the
ancient masonry.
 Because of moisture the lower stones of the building are
affected due to decay, the properties of stones are changed it
has lost is original color and algae has taken place.
 CLIMATIC ISSUES

Sunlight
• Sunlight is particularly
damaging on organic
materials such a
wood, textile, stone
etc.
Due to excess of heat and other environmental conditions the
stones has lost its original texture and color of the stone has
changed
Due to decay the texture of stone is changed also the floor is
damaged as due to water leakage and also because of human
activities.
Inside this arch several plastic bottles, beer bottles, cigarettes
were dumped causing damage to this property.
