Peth, Burud Gully
Sinnar, Nashik
​
This settlement which is now known as peth, in sinnar was just open land near Rajwada. The rajwada was built around 600 years back. The area surrounding the Rajwada was open, and there were fields nearby. Traders from nearby villages used to come here to sell different types of goods. The Rajwada area was a capital place and the trading started to grow here. In the early 1800s the traders started to buy land and build shops and houses in order to increase their sales and trading. The area developed eventually and was named the main peth where all types of shops are seen. The Rajwada was abandoned for many years and demolished 20 years ago. Half of the land of the Rajwada is now an open space and complex buildings are built on the other half of the land.
The peth divides into smaller lanes, where each lane is for a similar sale product or occupation. There are 5 such lanes in the area we are studying, Burud gully, Kumbhar gully, Sutar gully, Sonar gully and Lohar gully. The
Main peth road has 3 storey wooden houses where the shop is on the ground floor and the house is above the shop.

LANE
CLUSTER MORPHOLOGY
The Main peth road has 3 storey wooden houses where the shop is on the ground floor and the house is above the shop. The front part of the lanes also have such shops and houses and there are wadas on the rear end of the lane. Some of these wadas are 100-150 years old and mostly made of stone.The new parts of these wada are made of cement.
The lane we are looking at is the Burud gully. It is a lane for the bamboo product makers. Earlier when the area was growing in trading there were 7-8 bamboo shops in the lane. These shops used to sell various size bamboos, and products like baskets, spoons, brooms, containers etc. Over the period of time the demand decreased as people started preferring factory made reasonably priced or also branded products. The business decreased and eventually many of the shops closed or changed. There is only one bamboo shop that is still open in that lane.Going further inside the lane there are old wadas.

WADA
HOUSE TYPE
Kale wada
Kale wada was built in the 1920s. The owner of the wadaa rented the place to a family who lived there for 16-17 years. In the early days this place had a tradition that if you live in a place on rent for more than 15 years, you acquire the ownership of that place, which was of course not legal.Due to this the family refused to leave the place when asked by the owner. He then sold the wada to Mr Kale because he owed him some money. Mr. Kale was a lawyer who took legal actions on the family and eventually they had to give up in the place.

Open space
The open spaces between two WADAs, which is common land for all the people living in the wada. It has become a living space for animals and birds and trees which make the space more alive. The chirps of birds and the shadow of trees make the space peaceful.
ANALYSIS - SPATIAL PATTERNS PHENOMENOLOGICAL READINGS
Children in this area are mostly seen outside the houses on the streets or the varanda space since the houses are small and they don’t have space for either studying or playing.
