He is described to be the son of [[Mahabali]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.krishna.com/node/338 |title=krishna.com – Glossary description |access-date=12 November 2007 |archive-date=1 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171001123350/http://www.krishna.com/node/338 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Kumar2012">{{cite book|last=Kumar|first=Anu|title=Banasura: The Thousand-Armed Asura|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uitM7zXHImQC|date=30 November 2012|publisher=Hachette India|isbn=978-93-5009-537-9}}</ref> His tale of battling Krishna is described in the [[Bhagavata Purana]].

==Legend==
A mighty [[asura]], Bana once ruled over a large kingdom, [[Tezpur|Śoṇitapura]]. His influence was so strong and fierce that all the kings – and even some of the [[Deva (Hinduism)|devas]] – shuddered in front of him. Banasura used to worship a [[rasalingam]] given to him by [[Vishvakarman]], on instruction from [[Vishnu]]. As an ardent devotee of [[Shiva]], he used his thousand arms to play the [[Mridanga|mridangam]] when Shiva was performing the [[tandava|tandavam]] dance. When Shiva offered Banasura a boon, the latter requested Shiva to be his city's guardian: therefore, Banasura became invincible. As time passed, he became even more cruel and arrogant. One day, Banasura's daughter, Usha, saw a young man in her dream, made love to him, and fell in love with him. <ref>{{Cite web|title=The Story of Usha and Aniruddha|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2014/aug/01/the-story-of-usha-and-aniruddha-642616.html|access-date=2021-10-16|website=The New Indian Express|date=August 2014 }}</ref> [[Chitralekha (deity)|Chitralekha]], a friend of Usha and a talented artist, helped Usha to identify the young man seen in her dream by sketching various portraits of the [[Vrishni|Vrishnis]]. Usha realised that she had dreamt of [[Aniruddha]], the grandson of [[Krishna]]. Chitralekha, through her yogic powers, abducted Aniruddha from the palace of Krishna and brought him to Śoṇitapura.<ref name=" CompetitionShankar2004">{{cite book|author=M.

Usha worshipped her lover and furnished him with priceless garments, garlands, fragrances, lamps, and with beverages, dishes, and words. Breaking her vow of chastity with him, she kept him hidden in her maiden quarters, and the lovers lost track of the days. Catching wind of his daughter's activities, Banasura rushed to her chambers to find her playing dice with Aniruddha. Even as the prince fended off the guards, Banasura subdued him with the mystical ropes of [[Varuna]]. Usha was overwhelmed with sorrow due to this incident. Aniruddha was held captive by Banasura for a month, until [[Narada]] informed the [[Yadava|Yadus]] in [[Dvārakā|Dvaraka]], who were searching for Aniruddha.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Srimad Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 62 |url=http://bhagavata.org/canto10/chapter62.html |access-date=2022-07-11 |website=bhagavata.org}}</ref>

The Yadus' army attacked Banasura in a great battle. The Yadu princes and their army besieged his kingdom with 12 [[Akshauhini|''akshauhinis'']], surrounding it completely. Banasura staged a fierce counterattack. During the war, [[Shiva]] appeared on the battlefield, riding on [[Nandi (Hinduism)|Nandi]], to protect his devotee, Banasura. Balarama fought against Banasura's commander, while [[Samba (Krishna's son)|Samba]] fought against Banasura's son. To bear witness, the leaders of the godly souls headed by Brahma came in their celestial vehicles, as also did the sages, the perfected souls, and the venerable personalities, the singers and [[Apsara|apsaras]] of heaven, and the [[Yakshini|yakshinis]]. Krishna and Shiva faced each other. Krishna used a ''[[brahmastra]]'' against Shiva's ''brahmastra'', a mountain weapon against a wind weapon, a rain weapon against a fire weapon, and his ''[[narayanastra]]'' against Shiva's ''[[pashupatastra]]''. [[Kartikeya]], assaulted by [[Pradyumna]]'s arrows, fled the battlefield on his peacock. After duelling with [[Satyaki]], Bana took up arms against [[Krishna]]. However, Krishna blew his conch and instantly, Banasura's charioteer was killed and his chariot broken and shattered.
When Shiva's forces had been defeated, [[Jvarasura|Jvara]], the embodiment of Shiva's fever, bearing three heads and three feet, attacked Krishna with scorching heat. Krishna produced his own Jvara of frigid coldness, and the two fought each other. Overwhelmed by Vishnu's fever, Shiva's Jvara offered its surrender and obeisance to Krishna and departed. Krishna then put Shiva to sleep using 'Jrmbhunastra'.

Meanwhile, [[Balarama]] defeated Banasura's commander. Bana rode forth upon his chariot to fight with Krishna, and the latter fought back with his [[Sudarshana Chakra]]. When Krishna started chopping Banasura's arms, [[Shiva]] returned to his senses and extolled the glories of [[Krishna]], requested him not to kill Banasura, whom he had bestowed with fearlessness. Obliging, Krishna replied that he had never intended to kill Banasura, since he was the son of Bali and the great-grandson of the devout [[Prahlada]]. Vishnu had promised Bali not to kill any member of his family, and therefore would not slay him. However, Krishna severed Banasura's extra arms to destroy the latter's pride, leaving Banasura with only four arms.

Banasura realised his mistake and bowed his head before Krishna, arranging for a chariot to seat Aniruddha and Usha for their wedding in Dvaraka.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Srimad Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 63 |url=http://bhagavata.org/canto10/chapter63.html |access-date=2022-07-11 |website=bhagavata.org}}</ref>

[[Narakasura|'''Naraka''']], also known as '''Narakāsura''', and '''Bhaumāsura''' was an [[asura]] king, the legendary progenitor of all three dynasties of [[Kamarupa|Pragjyotisha-Kamarupa]], and the founding ruler of the legendary [[Bhauma dynasty]] of [[Pragjyotisha Kingdom|Pragjyotisha]].<ref>"Pragjyotisha and Pragjyotishapura, which are names of the capital city situated about Guwahati, are mentioned for the first time in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana in connection with the mythical kings Naraka, his son Bhagadatta and latter's son Vajradatta all of whom bear Sanskrit names." {{harvcol|Sircar|1990|p=80}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Dalal|first=Roshen|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DH0vmD8ghdMC&dq=Narakasura+bhagadatta&pg=PA274|title=Hinduism: An Alphabetical Guide|date=2010|publisher=Penguin Books India|isbn=978-0-14-341421-6|language=en}}</ref><ref>"(I)n the inscriptions issued by the rulers of Pragjyotisa-Kamarupa from the 4th to the 12th century A.D. it has been claimed that the founders of the respective dynasties belong to the Naraka line of kings." {{harvcol|Boruah|2005|p=1465}}</ref> He is claimed as one who established [[Pragjyotisha Kingdom|Pragjyotisha]]. The pious Naraka became evil due to his association with an [[asura]] named Banasura, and hence the suffix 'asura' (demon) was added to his name.<ref>Chandra Dhar Tripathi (2008), ''Kāmarūpa-Kaliga-Mithilā: a politico-cultural alignment in Eastern India : history, art, traditions'', p.98, p.p 197</ref> He was slain by [[Krishna]] and [[Satyabhama]], who was the incarnate of Bhudevi.

==Plot==

In 1946, Amrit Sahani and Vashma Baig are two best friends in [[Lahore]]. Both Sahani and Baig are like families for, despite being from different religions they are the best friends. While Vashma has a close friendship with Amrit's cousin, Uday, who always supports Amrit and Vashma, Amrit is yet to meet her love. Randhir Raizada owns a newspaper and press and publishes stories by 'Ranjhan'. Amrit is a secret writer with the pen name 'Ranjhan', which only Vashma is aware of. Ranjhan and Randhir write each other letters. Soon, they have a chance meeting and Randhir gets attracted to Ranjhan, who is in disguise. As Sahani family has negative views about Ranjhan, Amrit hides her writing. Uday, who is a hockey player, has a strained relationship with his father, Brij. Vashma supports Uday in his passion for hockey.

Brij marries a [[banjaran]] Radha, who is young like Uday. Randhir comes to Sahanis' and finds that Amrit is Ranjhan. Randhir's marriage is fixed with Amrit's cousin, Kiran. Both Amrit and Randhir are shocked as they have started to like each other. Uday gets into the National hockey team with Vashma's help. Eventually, Amrit-Randhir and Vashma-Uday fall in love. Kiran's mother, Mogar tries to ruin their relationship, but in vain. After some drama, Amrit's father, Ratan unwillingly fixes Amrit and Randhir's marriage.

Vashma's marriage is fixed with Farooq. Vashma and Uday's relationship is exposed and Vashma is forced to marry Farroq. Randhir saves Amrit and Mogar from a fire accident, after which Ratan accepts Randhir. Amrit finds that Vashma is pregnant with Uday's child while Farooq is desperate to know about Vashma's lover.

On 15 August 1947, Randhir and Amrit's wedding have started. Farooq finds that Uday is Vashma's lover and instigates Vashma's brother, Abrar about the Sahanis' being Hindu and during the partition, they plan to kill them. [[Partition of India|Partition]] is announced and violence has started. Abrar and Farooq lead the violent troop. Amrit and Randheer's marriage is halted and Vashma's mother, Zahida lies Abrar and helps Sahanis'. Ratan and Rajrani are killed in the riots, leaving Amrit heartbroken. Randhir's parents give him his childhood photo before escaping. Amrit-Randhir, Uday-Vashma, and Brij-Radha manage to escape but are caught by Farooq, who tattoos his name on Amrit's hand. Vashma gives birth to a son, Kabir. Abrar realizes his mistakes and helps Randhir and Uday to save others. Farooq is killed by Vashma and Amrit falls into a coma. Brij is killed by Farooq after Farooq finds out that he is hiding at Iqbal's house.

After some days, Amrit recovers, and the violence in Lahore has ended. They decide to move to another city. On their way to the borderline, Randhir goes with Vashma to find Kabir, separating from others. They find him but are caught by the police. Randhir gets himself arrested to save Vashma and Kabir, while Amrit, Uday, and Radha are moved to another city.

===4 years later===

In 1951, Amrit lives in [[Delhi]] with Mogar, who has now reformed. She faces taunts due to her tattoo and awaits Randhir and Vashma. Vashma works in a brothel and is desperate to find her son Kabir while Uday gets selected for an Indian hockey team. Vashma and Uday are not known to each other. Randhir releases from jail and is determined to find Amrit. Amrit's marriage is fixed with [[Veer Pratap Singh]], who is the son of Prime Minister, Nalini Pratap Singh. Veer is blamed for his brother, Prem's death. On the wedding day, Amrit is kidnapped and meets Vashma at a brothel. Vashma reveals to Amrit what happened to Randhir and how she ended up at a brothel after Kabir is stolen.

Amrit is married to Veer. Soon, she meets Randhir, who is heartbroken learning about her marriage. Uday reunites with Vashma and helps her to become a teacher, promising to find Kabir. Later, Randhir is revealed to be Nalini's long-lost son, Prem Pratap Singh after finding his childhood photo. Amrit finds out about this and tells Veer and Randhir that they are brothers. Veer finally realizes that Randhir and Amrit loves each other and decides to hand over Amrit to Randhir. It turns out that Vijendra was responsible for Randhir's accident when Randhir was a child and Veer's addiction to alcohol. He also has a son Naman who is trying to kill Veer. Vijendra and Naman try to kill Randhir after knowing that he is Veer's biological brother. They both again try to kill Randhir in a bomb blast but instead Veer is killed in the blast. Everybody grieves for his death.

Randhir and his family move back to their old house as Nalini does not want to stay where Veer was killed. Vashma soon finds out that Manak is actually Kabir who was lost from the past 4 years. Vashma after finding this out, gets injured and falls into coma so therefore Uday does not know about this. Vijendra is soon exposed and sent to jail for Veer's death. Nalini forgives Kaveri and moves on. Randhir and Amrit soon give birth to a girl. Randhir now runs a successful newspaper and Amrit has become a renowned writer. Vashma recovers and hands Manak over to Mohan and Bindu. Vashma and Uday are soon blessed with a girl. Uday becomes the captain of Indian hockey team, while Vashma opens her dance school. Amrit and Vashma finally celebrate their Independence, like they always wanted to since their days in Lahore.

===Political donations (2009-2015)===
By 2015, Bhargava and his companies had become major political donors in the US, contributing at least $5.3 million to state-level political campaigns from 2009 to 2015. This included state attorneys general, their associations, and groups such as the [[Republican Governors Association]],<ref name="auto1"/> in the latter case through ETC Capital,<ref name="freep.com_Walsh"/> with $2.5 million in 2014. [[The Center for Public Integrity]] noted that the timing of the donations coincided with state-level investigations and lawsuits targeting 5-hour Energy. After a ''New York Times'' article highlighting contributions to the attorney generals, "Bhargava and his company accused attorneys general of soliciting political contributions from the company while it was being investigated by them."<ref name="auto1"/>

===Living Essentials lawsuits and Hans Power (2010s-2021)===
Living Essentials' sales had declined by the early 2010s,<ref name=cpi>{{cite news|author1=Ben Wieder|title=The political kingmaker nobody knows | url = http://www.publicintegrity.org/2015/03/26/16979/political-kingmaker-nobody-knows | work =[[Center for Public Integrity]]|date=March 26, 2015}}</ref> with 5-hour Energy involved in legal matters relating to marketing and product safety. After receiving filings citing 5-hour Energy in relation to consumer deaths and serious health incidents, by 2015 the [[U.S. Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) was investigating more than 20 fatalities potentially linked to the product. By that time, attorney generals in several states had also initiated legal action against 5-Hour Energy, alleging deceptive advertising. 33 states had jointly investigated the company. The company also faced consolidated [[Class action|class-action]] lawsuits from consumers alleging false advertising.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|url=https://publicintegrity.org/politics/state-politics/the-political-kingmaker-nobody-knows/|title=The political kingmaker nobody knows|first=Ben|last=Wieder|date=26 March 2015}}</ref> In 2017, a Washington state court ruled that 5-hour Energy's advertising had violated consumer protection laws, ordering a fine of $4.3 million.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/ag-5-hour-energy-makers-ordered-pay-nearly-43-million-consumer-violations|title=AG: 5-hour ENERGY® makers ordered to pay nearly $4.3 million for consumer violations | Washington State|website=www.atg.wa.gov}}</ref> Living Essentials denied wrongdoing but paid the penalties.<ref name="auto1"/>

In 2018, a group of wholesalers filed an [[United States antitrust law|antitrust]] lawsuit against Living Essentials. The suit alleged that the company provided [[Costco]] Wholesale with exclusive discount pricing in violation of U.S. [[Price discrimination|price discrimination]] laws. In 2024, the [[Supreme Court of the United States|U.S. Supreme Court]] declined to hear an appeal from the company, allowing the lawsuit to proceed.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-supreme-court-wont-hear-5-hour-energy-drink-pricing-case-2024-10-07/</ref>

=== Projects ===
Singh worked at the museum and library of City Palace Museum, Jaipur for almost a decade. Her work on textiles and manuscript led to a range of scholarship that showcased Indian museums as having indigenous value beyond the colonial gaze.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ray |first=Sugata |date=2014-04-03 |title=Colonial Frames, "Native" Claims: The Jaipur Economic and Industrial Museum |url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00043079.2014.899180 |journal=The Art Bulletin |volume=96 |issue=2 |pages=196–212 |doi=10.1080/00043079.2014.899180 |s2cid=59368304 |issn=0004-3079|url-access=subscription }}</ref> When she started working for the Jaigarh Fort, it was a protected monument by Archaeological Survey of India and it was not possible to make any changes in its structure. She first undertook the exercise of getting it de-protected and then did a lot of restoration work including creating a museum in the fort.<ref name=":1" /> While working as a director of documentation at Jawahar Kala Kendra, she got lot of documentation done for arts, crafts, and monuments of Rajasthan and even set up amuseum and organised many art exhibitions.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jawahar Kala Kendra |first=JKK |title=Twitter |url=https://twitter.com/jkk_jaipur/status/1525830120522403841?lang=ar-x-fm}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-01-11 |title=ART {{!}} Himmat Shah Retrospective at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur |url=https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/himmat-shah-continuing-journey-across-six-decades-jawahar-kala-kendra-jaipur/ |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=Architectural Digest India |language=en-IN}}</ref>

Another important project that she undertook was documenting the little known forts of twenty seven districts in Rajasthan.

Scientists found the holotype near a town that was not near any body of water, so they infer the frogs might tolerate a degree of habitat disturbance. They believe the frogs are probably [[arboreal]] and lay breed in tree holes containing water because that is what other frogs in ''Theloderma'' do, but this has yet to be confirmed.<ref name=IUCN />

He was the main defender for junior team for two seasons. In September 2017, Valpuia was promoted to [[Aizawl F.C.]] senior team for [[Mizoram Premier League]] and [[I-League]].{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}

===Mumbai City===
====Early years====
On 10 June 2019, Valpuia signed for [[Indian Super League|ISL]] club [[Mumbai City FC]] on a two-year contract.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/mumbai-city-sign-promising-defender-hmingthanmawia |title=Mumbai City sign promising defender Hmingthanmawia |access-date=6 April 2024 |archive-date=22 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240122200618/https://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/mumbai-city-sign-promising-defender-hmingthanmawia |url-status=live }}</ref> He made four [[Indian Super League|ISL]] appearances in his debut season, as Mumbai finished fifth. Despite not playing a single game in the ISL in the club's [[2020–21 Indian Super League|2020-21 double-winning season]], Valpuia signed a fresh four-year contract until 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/hmingthanmawia-extends-contract-mumbai-city-fc-2025/article35722351.ece |title=Hmingthanmawia extends contract with Mumbai City FC until 2025 - Sportstar |access-date=6 April 2024 |archive-date=22 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240122200707/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/hmingthanmawia-extends-contract-mumbai-city-fc-2025/article35722351.ece |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Loan spell at Punjab====
On August 10, 2022, [[Mumbai City FC]] announced that Valpuia would go on loan to I-League club [[Punjab FC|Roundglass Punjab]] (now Punjab FC).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://twitter.com/MumbaiCityFC/status/1557262711704141824 |title=Archived copy |access-date=6 April 2024 |archive-date=22 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240122200618/https://twitter.com/MumbaiCityFC/status/1557262711704141824 |url-status=live }}</ref> In the I-League, he played regularly and shone, even scoring his first senior goal while at the club. His loan spell ended with him having made 15 appearances in the club's successful [[2022–23 I-League]] season, as [[Punjab FC|Punjab]] became the first ever club to get promoted into the [[Indian Super League|ISL]].<ref>https://www.indiansuperleague.com/undefined/indian-super-league-welcomes-punjab-fc-as-its-12th-club#:~:text=Punjab%20FC%20are%20the%20latest,%2D23%20I%2DLeague%20campaign {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240406181256/https://www.indiansuperleague.com/press-releases/indian-super-league-welcomes-punjab-fc-as-its-12th-club#:~:text=Punjab%20FC%20are%20the%20latest,%2D23%20I%2DLeague%20campaign |date=6 April 2024 }}.</ref>

====Return to Mumbai City====
=====2023/24 season=====
Following his loan spell, he was kept at the club by manager [[Des Buckingham]]. He made his Mumbai debut in the Durand Cup, playing the full 90 minutes in Mumbai's 5-0 defeat of [[Jamshedpur FC]].<ref>https://www.mumbaicityfc.com/news/match-report-mumbai-city-5-0-jamshedpur-fc#:~:text=In%20the%2054th%20minute,in%20favour%20of%20the%20Islanders {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240122200617/https://www.mumbaicityfc.com/news/match-report-mumbai-city-5-0-jamshedpur-fc#:~:text=In%20the%2054th%20minute,in%20favour%20of%20the%20Islanders |date=22 January 2024 }}.</ref> He also made his AFC Champions debut, playing in an all-Indian line-up away against [[F.C. Nassaji Mazandaran]], due to visa issues for the club's foreign players preventing them from travelling to Iran.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://olympics.com/en/news/afc-champions-league-2023-24-nassaji-mazandaran-vs-mumbai-city-score-result |title=Nassaji Mazandaran vs Mumbai City FC, AFC Champions League 2023-24, scores and result |access-date=6 April 2024 |archive-date=6 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240406181245/https://olympics.com/en/news/afc-champions-league-2023-24-nassaji-mazandaran-vs-mumbai-city-score-result |url-status=live }}</ref> However, Valpuia never made a league appearance under Buckingham, and was regularly left on the bench.

Although, when [[Des Buckingham|Buckingham]] left to go to [[EFL League One]] side [[Oxford United]], Mumbai appointed [[Petr Kratky]] as their new head coach,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.mumbaicityfc.com/news/mumbai-city-fc-welcomes-petr-kratky-as-new-head-coach |title=Mumbai City FC welcomes Petr Kratky as new Head Coach |access-date=6 April 2024 |archive-date=9 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231209085052/https://www.mumbaicityfc.com/news/mumbai-city-fc-welcomes-petr-kratky-as-new-head-coach |url-status=live }}</ref> Valpuia was given a chance in the first team.

He started all 3 group stage games for [[Mumbai City FC|The Islanders]].

It is said to have started with the start of Vikram Samwat as a 3-Day Navratri fair held on Saptami Ashtami and Ram Nawami in Chaitra Month.The name Nauchandi (Nav-Chandi : means 9 forms of goddess) was derived from an ancient temple of Goddess Chandi which is situated in the ground as Pracheen Shri Chandi Devi Mandir. It is said that Meerut was earlier known as MayRashtra on the name of Mey Daanav, father of Maharani Mandodri, Raavan's wife. (MeyRashtra later got called Meerut in local dialect).

'''Jamia Masjid Thathri''' is the principal congregational mosque located in the town of [[Thathri]] in [[Doda district]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]], India. Established in the 1960s, the mosque serves as a central place of worship for Muslims in Thathri and surrounding areas. It is recognized locally for hosting large congregational prayers, particularly on Fridays and major Islamic occasions.<ref name="Thathri.com-2025">{{cite web |title=Jamia Masjid Thathri |url=https://www.thathri.com/2025/07/jamia-masjid-thathri.html |website=Thathri.com |date=1 July 2025 |access-date=6 March 2026}}</ref>

The mosque features a white exterior structure with a central dome and two minarets.

==History==
Jamia Masjid Thathri was constructed during the 1960s as a congregational mosque for the growing population of Thathri. The mosque was established with support from local residents and community leaders to provide a central space for Friday prayers and religious gatherings.

Over the years, the mosque has undergone maintenance and development under the supervision of a local administrative body known as the '''Jamia Masjid Committee Thathri'''. The committee manages the mosque's affairs, including maintenance, construction activities, and organization of religious events.<ref name="Thathri.com-2025"/>

==Architecture==
The mosque is built in a traditional style common to many congregational mosques in the Chenab Valley region. The structure includes a central dome above the main prayer hall and two tall minarets that are visible from different parts of Thathri town. Arched windows and entrances allow natural light into the prayer space.

Due to its location within the hillside settlement of Thathri, the mosque stands prominently among the surrounding residential buildings.<ref>{{cite web | title=Jamia Masjid Thathri in 2013: Worshippers Pray as First Floor and Minarets Rise Under Construction | website=Official website of Thathri — Town in Doda district | date=16 February 2016 | url=https://www.thathri.com/2016/02/thathri-town-pics.html | access-date=6 March 2026}}</ref>

==Religious leadership==
The mosque is led by an Imam who conducts daily prayers and delivers sermons. The current Imam is '''Mohd Shafqat Qasmi''', who succeeded '''Bashir Ahmed Zargar''' following Zargar's death.<ref name="Thathri.com-2025"/>

Jamia Masjid Thathri serves as an important religious and social center for the Muslim population of Thathri. The mosque hosts weekly Friday congregational prayers and gatherings during major Islamic occasions such as Ramadan and Eid.

Regional media reports have noted large congregations at mosques across the Chenab Valley, including Jamia Masjid Thathri, during the first Friday of Ramadan when worshippers gathered for prayers under security arrangements.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chenab Valley mosques witness heavy crowd on First Friday of Ramadan amid tight security arrangements |url=https://himalayanexpress.in/2024/03/15/chenab-valley-mosques-witness-heavy-crowd-on-first-friday-of-ramadan-amid-tight-security-arrangements/ |website=Himalayan Express |date=15 March 2024 |access-date=6 March 2026}}</ref>

The mosque has also been referenced in regional reporting on religious observances such as '''Jumat-ul-Vida''', the last Friday of Ramadan, which is widely observed across Jammu and Kashmir.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jumat-ul-Vida observed across Jammu and Kashmir |url=https://theins.in/2018/06/08/jumat-ul-vida-observed-across-jammu-and-kashmir/ |website=The INS |date=8 June 2018 |access-date=6 March 2026}}</ref>

In addition to religious activities, the mosque's committee occasionally issues statements on public matters. In 2023, the president of the Jamia Masjid Committee Thathri condemned a [[2023 Rajouri attacks|terrorist attack in Rajouri]] and described it as an act of cowardice.<ref>{{cite web |title=Prez Jamia Masjid Thathri condemns "Rajouri Terror Attack"; Calls it "act of cowardice" |url=https://thechenabtimes.com/2023/01/02/prez-jamia-masjid-thathri-condemns-rajouri-terror-attack-calls-it-act-of-cowardice/ |website=The Chenab Times |date=2 January 2023 |access-date=6 March 2026}}</ref>

==TV coverage==
The first Nehru Cup in 1982 was covered by [[Prabir Roy]] with a 5 on-line camera operation. This was long before [[Doordarshan]] started the same during the [[1982 Asian Games|Delhi Asian Games]] in November 1982. This was apparently the first [[colour television]] broadcast in India.

==Absence, revival and replacement==

The tournament was revived in that year]]
The tournament was shelved after 1997 due to lack of sponsorship and other reasons. It was revived in 2007 mainly due to persuasion by the former coach of [[India national football team]] – [[Bob Houghton]]. The original rolling trophy could not be recovered from [[Iraq]], and a new trophy was designed.

The tournament held during 2007 was called the [[Oil and Natural Gas Corporation|ONGC]] Nehru Cup, to acknowledge sponsorship from the [[Oil and Natural Gas Corporation]]. The [[2007 Nehru Cup]] took place from 17 to 29 August 2007 with [[Syria national football team|Syria]], [[Kyrgyzstan national football team|Kyrgyzstan]], [[India national football team|India]], [[Cambodia national football team|Cambodia]] and [[Bangladesh national football team|Bangladesh]] as participating nations where [[India national football team|India]] won their first title after hosting it for the last couple of decades defeating the much higher ranked
[[Syria national football team|Syria]] in the final by a 1-0 margin, on a goal scored by [[N. P. Pradeep]] in the 44th minute on a back pass from [[Bhaichung Bhutia]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kolkatafootballs.com/ongc_nehru_2007.html |title=ONGC NEHRU CUP 2007 : Indian Football Capital's News |website=www.kolkatafootballs.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120821004846/http://www.kolkatafootballs.com/ongc_nehru_2007.html |archive-date=2012-08-21}} </ref>

The film was released on 19 December 2008 and was commercially successful at the box office,<ref name="T">{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/movie-details/news-interviews/tanish-is-flying-high/articleshow/4617511.cms|title=Tanish is flying high|date=5 June 2009|work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/movie-details/news-interviews/madhavis-bubbly-role/articleshow/4183782.cms|title=Madhavi's bubbly role|date=25 February 2009|work=The Times of India}}</ref> winning three [[Nandi Awards]]. The film was remade in Tamil as ''[[Ooh La La La (film)|Ooh La La La]]'' (2012).{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

== Plot ==
The film is told as an autobiographical narrative in the voice of Luv Kumar.

Luv's parents fell in love and married despite belonging to different linguistic backgrounds. In the present, love has faded because Luv's father takes his wife’s affection for granted.

Looking for a female partner, Luv scours Hyderabad. He believes in a twisted logic that getting the first girlfriend is tough, and after that, the deluge would follow. He befriends Anu under strange circumstances. He shows off his new girlfriend to whoever cares. Suddenly, girls start finding him attractive, including women who had previously rejected him. He goes on a spree with numerous girls, conveniently forgetting Anu, who has fallen hopelessly in love with him. At a party, he lies to friends within Anu’s earshot that he has slept with her. This breaks Anu’s heart, and she decides to leave him and the town. Luv cannot understand her sudden coldness but continues to ignore her.

When Luv's mother dies, plunging his family into enormous grief, his father reflects on his relationship with his wife and feels terrible that he had taken her love for granted. He tells his son that people only realize the true value of others once they have left them. This strikes a chord in Luv, who realizes how he had taken Anu’s love for granted and hurt her. He leaves to find Anu and win her back. However, a MMS video of Luv and Anu kissing was inadvertently released by someone who recently bought Luv’s phone, which was stolen and sold off by his little brother. This resulted in Anu’s hatred towards Luv to increase. When she and her father decide to leave Hyderabad, Luv tries to stop her as her life is under threat from someone who holds a grudge against Luv. After seeing Luv get stabbed, Anu saves him and takes him to the hospital. After some time, Luv and Anu reconcile as friends, joining the same university, with Luv reflecting on his realization that he is not yet ready for relationships.

== Controversy ==
Maadhavi Latha alleged that she was severely harassed and her mother scolded for refusing to become close with an important person in the movie team during shooting, and refusing to wear a short dress. Another major revelation is that production company Ushakiran Movies pays less than other production houses.<ref>{{Citation|last=iDream Telugu Movies|title=Actress Madhavi Latha Full Exclusive Interview {{!}}{{!}} Frankly With TNR #54 {{!}}{{!}} Talking Movies with iDream|date=2017-03-02|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le7yaWiPYj8|accessdate=2017-03-04}}</ref>

'''''Nari Nari Naduma Murari''''' ({{translation|''Lord Krishna in between two ladies''}}) is a 1990 [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[Romantic comedy|romantic comedy film]] directed by [[A. Kodandarami Reddy]]. The film was produced by [[K. Murari]] under the Yuva Chitra Arts banner. It stars [[Nandamuri Balakrishna]], [[Shobana]] and [[Nirosha]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.zaminryot.com/pdf/1990/Apr/6-apr-1990.pdf|title="నారీ నారీ నడుమ మురారి"లో బాలకృష్ణ, నిశాంతి [Balakrishna, Nishanti in ''Nari Nari Naduma Murari'']|work=[[Zamin Ryot]]|language=te|date=6 April 1990|p=9}}</ref> with music composed by [[K. V. Mahadevan]]. This is Balakrishna's 50th film and it was a ''Super Hit'' at the box office. During the pre-climax scene, Balakrishna does not appear for more than 20 minutes, which is uncommon in commercial Telugu films.

==Plot==
The film begins in Nakkabokkalapaadu, where a lofty woman, Sesharatnam, prioritises outward beauty. She dispises her henpecked husband, Veerabhadraiah, as he has a second wife, Nagamani. Before his marriage to Sesharatnam, he loved Nagamani, but by force of his mother Janakamma, he wed Sesharatnam. Later, the truth is out when Sesharatnam rebukes, ostracizes her mother-in-law, and stays away from Veerabhadraiah. The couple has two daughters, Shobha, a homely woman & Neeraja "Neeru", a naughty modern youngster. Veerabhadraiah aspires to marry off his daughter to his nephew Venkateswara Rao "Venkanna" to unite the families. Sesharatnam inadvertently rejects the alliance. So, Veerabhadraiah gives rise to Venkanna, who words his grandmother to nuptials one of his cousins and rectifies his mother-in-law. Now, Venkanna lands at their village, where Sesharatnam vilifies him and challenges her to splice his daughter.

From there, he becomes operational in attempts to woo Shobha & Neeru in various skirmishes and teases Sesharatnam. Parallelly, Veerabhadraiah is blackmailed by Appadu as he upholds a secret. Once, Venkanna accuses himself of protecting his honor when Shobha endears him. Plus, a series of donnybrooks run between Venkanna & Neeru, and she, too, likes him. Out of the blue, the two struck Venkanna, proclaiming that they would not survey without him. Now, the story takes several twists and turns, which ends hilariously. Being conscious of the ongoing, Sesharatnam rebukes and smacks her daughters when Veerabhadraiah hinders and states one of the two is not her own. Afterward, he narrates that one is the progeny of Nagamani. The two delivered at the same time. Sesharatnam gave birth to twins and lost a baby, which Veerabhadraiah recouped with Nagamani's daughter.

Today, Sesharatnam proceeds to Janakamma and Shobha & Neeru to Nagamani to be aware of actuality. Then, Janakamma replies she also doesn't know it. Besides, Nagamani answers that the woman who shares love & affection with anyone is only the mother and asks them to retrieve. Listening to it, Sesharatnam embraces her daughters and is much obliged to Nagamani. The elders leave the decision to the kids, who will wedlock Venkanna when the sibling asks to make his choice, and he is bewildered. At last, Venkanna rushes to [[Venkateswara]], where the Lord affirms that he is waiting to perceive the answer to the same question which he is unable to provide to his wives [[Lakshmi|Sridevi]] and [[Bhūmi|Bhudevi]]. Shobha & Neeru is approaching him, but he cannot respond. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Venkanna fusing with the two.

Purandare reluctantly obliges, but their act is witnessed by Dinanath’s young son, Ramdas, who misinterprets the scene and believes Purandare murdered his father.

Frightened and alone, Ramdas flees to the home of Mr. Dayanand (Om Shivpuri), who offers him shelter. However, when the Portuguese police raid the house demanding Ramdas’ whereabouts, Dayanand and his wife are seemingly killed. In the next scene, Purandare arrives searching for Ramdas, but the boy, still traumatized, runs away at the mere sight of him. (There’s some confusion here as Dayanand appears to have been killed but later only has minor bruises—perhaps an editing inconsistency.)

To escape his past, Ramdas changes his name to Ronnie and distances himself from the revolutionary cause. After an altercation with local kids, the story fast-forwards two decades, revealing Ronnie as a lean, street-smart career criminal, played by Amitabh Bachchan. He has a glamorous girlfriend, Julie (Zeenat Aman), and works for Hasmok (Sujit Kumar), a fellow outlaw. Ronnie earns the favor of Inspector Monteiro (Prem Chopra) by helping Hasmok evade capture.

Ronnie’s past catches up with him when he crosses paths with Purandare once more. The aging revolutionary and his comrades are in desperate need of ammunition for their fight against the Portuguese. Ronnie, having long abandoned any patriotic cause, betrays them to the police—not once, but twice. In the second betrayal, Purandare is killed.

Enter Shekhar (Randhir Kapoor), a young rebel who quickly becomes a thorn in Ronnie’s side. Shekhar steals Ronnie’s gold, orchestrates the escape of a captured rebel (Viju Khote), assassinates the Portuguese police chief, and is ultimately sentenced to death. His heroism earns him widespread admiration, fueling Ronnie’s resentment. Seeking revenge, Ronnie impulsively decides to kill Shekhar’s parents—only to discover that they were the same people who once sheltered him as a child. This revelation shakes him to his core, forcing him to reconsider his past and understand Purandare’s actions all those years ago.

Determined to make amends, Ronnie vows to save Shekhar from the gallows. In a climactic final battle, Ronnie and Shekhar join forces, leading the charge against the Portuguese. Their fight culminates in victory, bringing an end to the colonial rule they once sought to escape in very different ways.

'''''Anantha Poongatre''''' ({{translation|Breeze of happiness}}) is a 1999 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[romantic drama film]] written and directed by [[Raj Kapoor (Tamil director)|Raj Kapoor]]. The film stars [[Ajith Kumar]] and [[Meena (actress)|Meena]] in the lead roles, with [[Malavika (actress)|Malavika]] in a supporting role and [[Karthik (actor)|Karthik]] in a guest appearance. The film is based upon how respect can be mistaken as love by circumstances.

''Anantha Poongatre'' was released on 27 May 1999. It received positive reviews and became a commercial success. It won the [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Dialogue Writer]] and [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Film Portraying Woman in Good Light]]. The film was remade in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] as ''Subhakaryam'' (2001) and later in [[Kannada]] as ''[[Rajakumari (2009 film)|Rajakumari]]'' (2009).

== Plot ==
Meenatchi is a widow living with her son, Nandu. Jeeva, who lives in the same colony, has been pining silently for her for the last four years. He runs an organization called A-to-Z, which can get anything done for anybody.

Jeeva follows Divya to get some information on her for her suitor but, she ends up falling for him and pursues him relentlessly. He avoids her, telling her that he is already in love with someone else, and when cornered, reveals that it is Meenatchi.

This leads to some surprising revelations about Meenatchi's past. The flashback is revealed. Meenatchi is a music student of Haridas. Haridas has a child, Nandu, whose mother, Banu, died giving birth to him. Their mutual respect is mistaken for romance by her father, Dharmalingam, who is a zamindar, and Haridas is killed in the fracas. Later, Meenatchi vows to live like a widow, taking care of Haridas's child. However, that very day, Jeeva and his parents were about to see Meenatchi as a prospective bride. When Jeeva sees this scene unfold before his eyes, he starts admiring her courage. Despite his parents' protests, he assures Meenatchi's father that he would make her change her mind and that he would marry her. But Meenatchi's world turns upside down when Divya's father, a staunch supporter of love marriage, kidnaps Nandu and asks Jeeva to marry Divya. Jeeva of course accepts and things are then resolved in the climax.

'''''Ninaithale Inikkum''''' ({{translation|Sweet Memories}}) is a 2009 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[coming of age]] [[Drama (genre)|drama]] film written and directed by [[G. N. R. Kumaravelan]] in his directoral debut . It is a remake of the 2006 [[Malayalam]] film ''[[Classmates (2006 film)|Classmates]]''. The film was produced by [[Gemini Film Circuit]] and distributed by [[Sun Pictures]]. [[Prithviraj Sukumaran]] reprises his role from the original film, alongside [[Shakthi Vasudevan|Shakthi Vasu]], [[Priyamani]], [[Karthik Kumar]], [[Anuja Iyer]], and [[Vishnupriyan]]. The soundtrack was composed by [[Vijay Antony]] with cinematography handled by [[Balasubramaniem]] and editing by [[A. Sreekar Prasad]].

''Ninaithale Inikkum'' was released on 4 September 2009 and was a commercial success at the box office. The film's title was taken from a [[Ninaithale Inikkum (1979 film)|1979 Tamil film]].

== Plot ==
Shivaram returns to college to reunite with his friends for a college reunion. With his eyes sparkling with nostalgic memories, he takes a trip down memory lane and reminisces about his college days, which form the crux of the story.

Shiva is an energetic, enthusiastic college student. Being short-tempered, he gets easily provoked by the rich and proud Vasu and his arrogance, leading to many fights between the two. Shakthi often stops their fights and strives to bring Shiva and Vasu together on friendly terms, but in vain. Shiva, Shakthi, and their faithful friend Bala stay together through thick and thin and are always ready to voice their views on behalf of those who stay in the hostel in the college.

Shakthi’s father Pazhaniyappan often visits his son in the hostel and is seen as a father to all of Shakthi’s friends. Meera, the daughter of an MLA, nurtures a soft corner for Shiva. She is brave enough to stand up to him and pacify him when he throws unnecessary tantrums. Shalee, Meera’s friend, is a shy, reserved Muslim girl who comes from an orthodox family background. She is often preoccupied with her own thoughts. Karthik is a showoff who fails to humiliate Shiva and Shakthi and ends up making a fool of himself.

At the reunion, the friends are happy to see each other after eight years. However, they are burdened by the tragic death of Shakthi; Shiva seems to be the most affected of them all. All seems well until Shiva is found almost strangled to death. Everyone suspects Vasu, though Shakthi's father discovers that Shalee actually attempted the murder.

In a flashback, it is revealed that Shakthi and Shalee were in love. Shalee revealed that Shiva, who was running away from the police after breaking into an election booth, accidentally killed Shakthi after mistaking him for someone else, with chloroform, as the latter suffered from asthma. Shalee is upset that Shakthi's father prevented her from taking revenge against Shiva.

Shiva recovers and seeks forgiveness from Shakthi's father. Shakthi's father forgives Shiva and requests him to marry Meera, who has been waiting for him for those eight years. Vasu also apologizes to Shiva for all of his antics in college. Shakthi's parents adopt Shalee, whose family has died, and decide to take her in as their own. The film ends as Shalee bids farewell to her friends and to the image of Shakthi, who is forever present on the college campus.

The film ends with the message: "Never forget the sweet memories that happened in college."

Sangha (Jainism)

{{Short description|Term for ascetic communities in Jainism}}
{{use dmy dates|date=June 2016}}
{{use Indian English|date=June 2016}}
{{Jainism}}
In [[Jainism]], '''Sangha''' (Community of the pious) is a term used to refer to the fourfold community of ''Muni'' ([[Jain monasticism|male ascetics]]), ''[[Aryika]]'' / ''Sadhvi'' (female ascetics), ''[[Śrāvaka (Jainism)|Śrāvaka]]'' (laymen), and ''Śrāvikā'' (laywomen).

The word is also used in various other ways.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cIhCCwAAQBAJ|page=190|title=The a to Z of Jainism|isbn=9780810863378|last1=Wiley|first1=Kristi L|date=2009-06-17|publisher=Scarecrow Press|access-date=7 June 2016|archive-date=2 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230702120440/https://books.google.com/books?id=cIhCCwAAQBAJ|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Meaning ==

[[Champat Rai Jain]], an influential 20th century Jain writer described the ''sangha'' as "those who practise the [[Dharma (Jainism)|''dharma'']]", "the community of the saints", "the community of the pious" and as "the community of the faithful".{{sfn|Champat Rai Jain|1929|p=137, 165}}<ref>{{citation |last=Jain |first=Champat Rai |authorlink=Champat Rai Jain |title=Sannyasa Dharma |url =https://archive.org/details/SannyasaDharma |date=1926 |quote={{PD-notice}}|page=187}}</ref>

== Significance ==
According to the [[Jain texts]], the ''sangha'' will be maintained till the very end of the present strife-ridden spoke of time (''[[Avasarpiṇī#Panchama kāla|pancham kaal]]''). With the end of the ''sangha'', the ''dharma'' (religion) will also end.{{sfn|Champat Rai Jain|1929|p=165-166}}

'''Aditya Vikram Birla''' (14 November 1943 – 1 October 1995) was an Indian industrialist and philanthropist. Born into one of the largest [[Birla family|business families]] of India, he oversaw the diversification of [[Aditya Birla Group|his group]] into textiles, petrochemicals and telecommunications. He was one of the first Indian industrialists to expand abroad, setting up plants in [[Southeast Asia]], the [[Philippines]] and [[Egypt]]. His net worth was estimated at £250 million by 1995. After his death at the age of 51, his son [[Kumar Mangalam Birla]] took charge of the group.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hazarika|first=Sanjoy|date=1995-10-03|title=Aditya Vikram Birla, 51, A Leading Indian Businessman|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/03/business/aditya-vikram-birla-51-a-leading-indian-businessman.html|access-date=2020-05-26|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Aditya Vikram Birla received his [[Sanskrit]] education from the late [[Sanskrit]] scholar Shri Durga Prasad Shastri in [[Kolkata]].

==Career==
After returning to India in 1965, Birla struck out on his own in textiles. His Eastern Spinning Mills in [[Calcutta]] (Kolkata) quickly became a success, putting the group's sinking rayon and textile business back on track. He was then placed in charge of the corporation's expansion into the oil sector.

In 1969, Birla set up Indo-Thai Synthetics Company Ltd, the group's first overseas company.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://muftbooks.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/india-unbound-gurcharan-das.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160311114126/https://muftbooks.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/india-unbound-gurcharan-das.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2016-03-11 |author=Gurcharan Das |title=India Unbound: From Independence to the Global Information Age |publisher=Penguin Books |year=2002 |isbn=978-1861974457}}</ref> In 1973, he established P.T. Elegant Textiles to manufacture spun yarn. It marked the group's first venture in Indonesia. In 1974, Thai Rayon, the Group's Viscose Rayon Staple Fibre business, was incorporated in Thailand. In 1975, The Indo Phil Group of companies, the first Indo-Filipino joint venture, commenced production of spun yarn. In 1977, Pan Century Edible Oils was incorporated in Malaysia, going on to become the world's largest single-location [[palm oil]] refinery. In 1978, Thai Carbon Black was incorporated in Thailand. In 1982, P.T. Indo Bharat Rayon was established, the first producer of Viscose Staple Fibre in Indonesia.

Ghanshyam Das Birla died in 1983, bequeathing most of his companies to his grandson Aditya. With Aditya Vikram Birla as the chairman, the Birla group of companies successfully expanded Hindustan Gas and rescued Indo-Gulf Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd.

==Death==
In 1993, Birla was diagnosed with [[prostate cancer]]. His aged father and young son took over many of the responsibilities of the group.<ref name="CNBCTV18">{{cite news | title =Story of one of India's prominent business families |publisher = Money Control | date=20 February 2005 |url=http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/news/book-review/storyoneindias-prominent-business-families-/267930 | accessdate = 6 October 2007}}</ref> He received medical treatment at the [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] in [[Baltimore]], where he died on 1 October 1995. He was survived by both his parents, his wife and both his children, as well as by two sisters and a daughter-in-law. Former [[Indian Prime Minister]] (then [[Finance Minister of India|Finance Minister]]) [[Manmohan Singh]] called Birla "among the best and brightest citizens of India."<ref name="NYTimes"/>

While battling cancer Birla's great concern was to see his daughter married. Towards this, he took recourse to long-standing friendship with the Bajaj family, the descendants of [[Jamnalal Bajaj]], who had been a close friend of [[Ghanshyamdas Birla]]. Birla arranged for his daughter Vasavadatta to marry [[Kushagra Bajaj]], son of Shishir Bajaj ([[Rahul Bajaj]]'s younger brother<ref>{{cite web |last1=Raj |first1=Amrit |title=Bajaj Group plans for Gen Next with a family settlement |url=https://www.livemint.com/Companies/W1KcASuM6q2liXL3ALmJRJ/Bajaj-Group-plans-for-Gen-Next-with-a-family-settlement.html |website=www.livemint.com |language=en |date=16 January 2019}}</ref>) of the [[Bajaj Group|Bajaj family]]. He witnessed their engagement ceremony but not their wedding. The wedding could not be held immediately because the couple, both born in 1976, were still underage. The couple were married in 1997.

==Legacy==
His group instituted the Aditya Birla Scholarships in his memory. Every year more than 40 scholars from among seven [[Indian Institutes of Management]], seven [[Indian Institutes of Technology]], [[Birla Institute of Technology and Science]], [[Faculty of Management Studies (Delhi)]] and six [[National Law Universities]] receive this scholarship.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aditya Birla Scholarship|url=https://www.expertsglobal.com/aditya-birla-scholarship|date=2015-08-22|website=Experts' Global|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-27}}</ref>

[[Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital]] in [[Pimpri-Chinchwad]] has been named after him.

The Aditya Vikram Birla won Kalashikhar and Kalakiran Puraskar awards for excellence in theatre and performing arts are given every year, were instituted in 1996 by the Sangeet Kala Kendra (SKK), which was founded in 1973 by Aditya Vikram Birla to encourage performing arts.<ref>[http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/2013/02/05/433--Chavan-to-give-away-Aditya-Vikram-Birla-awards-.html Chavan to give away Aditya Vikram Birla awards].

== Sthala Puranam ==

It is believed that the local Chola King was suffering with a strange disease which was not curable by doctors and Lord Shiva appeared to him in a dream and asked him to feed 1000 people for 48 days.<ref name="at1">{{cite news |title=Thanthondreeswarar, Aakkoor, Nagapattinam |url=https://tntemplesproject.in/2018/12/28/thanthondreeswarar-aakkoor-nagapattinam/ |access-date=3 April 2024 |publisher=TN Temples Project |date=28 December 2018 |language=en}}</ref> The King started the task of feeding and realised at the end of the time period that though 1000 seats were placed only 999 were occupied every day. Realising the missing seat, the King prayed to Lord Shiva to resolve the issue and realised on the last day that all 1000 seats were occupied, wherein the latter appeared in the form of old man. When the king questioned the old man about his appearance, the old man counter-questioned Yaarukku oor (whose place?), instead of replying. King realising his mistake after discovering the old man as Lord Shiva Himself, dug up the mound, and found a Lingam where he built a temple. The Lingam is understood to have a scar indicating the strike when the digging of mound was done. This has also resulted in King also getting cured with Shiva presenting Himself as one of the thousand and being called as Aayirathil Oruvan (one in a thousand). The word “Yaarukku oor” by old man got diluted into Aakkoor.

There is one more belief that Kochchenga Cholan was suffering from a disease and a voice from heaven guiding him to find a place having three sthala vrikshams and to build a temple in that area which can result him in getting cured. The king came across an old Brahmin while searching the place who enquired about the former's problem. When the King shared his issue with the Brahmin ( a Vinayakar Originally ) who later suggested him to drown himself in temple tank for one nazhigai than the temple will become holier than Kasi. After the king performed the act, he found himself in a place where Kondrai, Betel (paaku) and Vilvam trees grew. The king was cured of his disease after he built the temple. The place being in the mound was named Thanthondri Maadam ( maadam meaning place in an elevated area ).

== Significance ==
It is one of the shrines of the 275 [[Paadal Petra Sthalams]] - [[Shiva Temples of Tamil Nadu#Sthalams|Shiva Sthalams]] glorified in the early medieval ''[[Tevaram]]'' poems by Tamil Saivite [[Nayanars]] [[Tirugnanasambandar]] and [[Tirunavukkarasar]].<ref name="dm"/>

== Literary mention ==
Tirugnanasambandar describes the feature of the deity as:<ref>Tirugnanasambandar Tevaram, II: 42:9</ref>
