The Saunstha has a student community of over 2,500.

In 1908, a handful of locals, including [[Phondushastri Karande]], gathered at the [[Mhamai Kamat House]] in Panaji to found an educational society to propagate knowledge and elementary education using Marathi as a medium of instruction. This resulted in what we know today as the Mushtifund Saunstha.&lt;ref name=&quot;ParoboBahujan22&quot;&gt;{{Cite book |last=Parobo |first=Parag D. |title=Construction of the Bahujan Samaj: Consciousness, Contestations and Assertions from the nineteenth century to post–Liberation Goa |url=https://irgu.unigoa.ac.in/drs/bitstream/handle/unigoa/6947/parobo_p_d_2022.pdf |date=June 2022 |publisher=Goa University |pages=88, 263}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Funding was not easy to find for such a society so a handful of rice instead of cash was collected from [[Goans|Goan]] households, and sold it in the markets in exchange for cash to run the Saunstha. This explains the name &quot;Mushtifund&quot;, which means, funds collected in handfuls.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url= http://wikimapia.org/293805/Mushtifund-High-School|title=Mushtifund High School|accessdate=March 29, 2012}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> During the 1970s only 4 classes were taught. As of 2016, the institution provides education for students from Kindergarten all the way to 12th grade (Mushtifund Higher Secondary).<br /> <br /> == Sections ==<br /> <br /> === Mushtifund Primary School ===<br /> Mushtifund Primary offers schooling from kindergarten to 4th grade. There are two subdivisions for the primary section, one with the medium of instruction as [[Marathi language|Marathi]], the other to be English. This offers children brought up in a traditional environment to build up their level without lagging behind due to language concerns.[[File:Mushtifund Saunstha Main Building Rear.PNG|thumb|The Mushtifund Saunstha Main School Building]]<br /> <br /> === Mushtifund High School ===<br /> Mushtifund High School is the largest section of Mushtifund Saunstha. It includes grades 5 to 10, the common high school levels in the [[Education in India|Education system in India]]. The high school section now has more than 20 classes with more than 600 students enrolled.<br /> <br /> Mushtifund High School was primarily based in the institution's main building in the capital city of Panjim. As of the academic year of 2016-2017, the school will be shifting its premises to the newly built multi-school complex at Cujira, [[Bambolim]].<br /> <br /> The school is affiliated to the [[Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education]], and follows a [[National Council of Educational Research and Training|NCERT]] pattern.<br /> <br /> ==== Transportation ====<br /> The school provides school buses as a part of the &quot;Bal Rath&quot; scheme for students from far locations. This service is free for the students, with 3 buses being operated at the moment. This will increase as the school shifts to its new school complex at Cujira.[http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/goa-govt-extends-indira-bal-rath-scheme-to-all-students-112052800421_1.html]<br /> <br /> === Mushtifund Higher Secondary School ===<br /> The '''Mushtifund Higher Secondary School''' is a senior high school in the city of Panaji. It offers senior high school programs in two majors—science and commerce. Its science section has an admissions procedure that accepts only the cream of the student community. The school is among the reputed senior high schools in the state, and has a record of producing Board toppers in either discipline.<br /> <br /> == Modernization ==<br /> <br /> === Next Education ===<br /> The school has partnered with [[Next Education India Pvt. Ltd.|Next Education]] (smart learning services) in a bid to modernize the school's infrastructure. Each classroom has been accommodated with a digital virtual learning system, with projectors projecting a learning software developed by Next Education.[http://mushtifundsaunstha.org/data-2/]<br /> <br /> === Cujira School Complex, Bambolim. ===<br /> Starting of the academic year 2016-2017, the high school section will be shifting operations to the newly constructed Mushtifund building in Cujira, Bambolim. This building will be a part of the integrated multi-school complex, which was an initiative by the Government of Goa to provide new school premises to degrading schools.<br /> <br /> Starting with High School, the HSS and Kindergarten sections will subsequently shift their operations in the coming years, once the building is fully functional.<br /> <br /> == References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * {{Official website|http://www.mushtifund.com/}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Organisations based in Goa]]<br /> [[Category:1900s establishments in Portuguese India]]<br /> [[Category:1908 establishments in India]]<br /> [[Category:1908 establishments in the Portuguese Empire]]<br /> [[Category:Organizations established in 1908]]<br /> [[Category:High schools and secondary schools in Goa]]</div>

Ravikumar]] and co-written by [[Crazy Mohan]].{{sfn|Dhananjayan|2011|p=194}} The film stars [[Kamal Haasan]] and [[Meena (actress)|Meena]], with [[Gemini Ganesan]], [[Nagesh]], [[Heera Rajagopal|Heera]], [[Manivannan]], [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]], [[Delhi Ganesh]] and Ann in supporting roles. Inspired by the American film ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]'' (1993), it revolves around a divorcé who disguises as an elderly female housekeeper to be close to his daughter, whose custody is only with his ex-wife.<br /> <br /> ''Avvai Shanmughi'' was released on 10 November 1996 and became a box office success, winning two [[Tamil Nadu State Film Awards]]: [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Make-up Artist|Best Make-up Artist]] (K. M. Sarathkumar) and [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Child Artist|Best Child Artist]] (Ann). A year later, the film was remade in [[Hindi]] as ''[[Chachi 420]]'', with Haasan directing and reprising his role.<br /> <br /> == Plot ==<br /> Janaki, married to Pandian against the wishes of her wealthy father Vishwanathan Iyer, applies for a divorce after five years of marriage, citing various reasons. Pandian is an assistant dance choreographer with a modest income and is unable to spend much time with the family, and their house is small without many amenities that Janaki was used to. All this accumulates and Janaki is granted a divorce. She has the sole custody of their daughter Bharathi, whom Pandian can meet only once a week, his only solace. However, Bharathi loves him a lot and dislikes the arrangement.<br /> <br /> Basha, Pandian's friend, advises him to steal his daughter from Janaki. Pandian assents, but in doing so, he is discovered; now he cannot meet her at all. Pandian later learns that Vishwanathan has advertised for a woman to look after his granddaughter. In a conversation with Joseph, a makeup artist, Pandian gets the idea of playing an old woman, so that he can be with Bharathi and Janaki without them knowing. Joseph agrees to this plan and the transformation is done from Pandian to &quot;Avvai Shanmugi&quot;, a dignified, elderly [[Iyer]] woman.<br /> <br /> Shanmugi applies for the job, but is rejected as another woman had been chosen. But when Bharathi is hurt while shooting fireworks and catches fire, Shanmugi throws her into the swimming pool against the wishes of the household, who believe that wrapping in a woollen blanket is the proper way to put out a fire. When the family doctor comes to take a look at Bharathi's wound, he praises Shanmugi for administering the right treatment, which causes Vishwanathan to reject the earlier hired nanny and hire Shanmugi. Soon after, all the family members start to become closer to Shanmugi, including Janaki and Bharathi. When Bharathi gets to properly meet Shanmugi, she recognises her father almost immediately, but agrees to conceal his secret.<br /> <br /> Rathna is a girl who is in love with Pandian, but is constantly rebuffed. Basha takes up the role of a mute Iyer cook and is admitted into Vishwanathan's house on the recommendation of Shanmugi, after the previous cook was caught stealing. However, Basha is caught while doing his [[Salah|namaz]] by Vishwanathan's secretary Sethuram Iyer, blowing his cover. Hilarious circumstances follow and slowly Shanmugi manages to convince the household of her sincerity, so much so that Vishwanathan begins to develop a liking for Shanmugi and in fact proposes to her too. Around the same time, Mudaliyar, the house-owner of the place where Pandian lives, happens to bump into Shanmugi and sympathises with her for being a widow. Eventually, Mudaliyar too begins to develop a liking for her.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Pandian slowly begins to realise that Janaki has not totally forgotten him. Shanmugi rebuffs Vishwanathan's proposals by saying that her husband is alive. Adding to the chaos, she tells Vishwanathan that Joseph is her husband, while Pandian tells Sethuram Iyer that Mudaliyar is Shanmugi's husband. There is much confusion after this, but it is resolved at last. Shanmugi convinces Vishwanathan that Janaki's right place is by her husband. While Vishwanathan goes off to talk to his estranged son-in-law, Shanmugi reveals her true self as Pandian to Basha by removing her blouse. This is seen by Janaki, who misunderstands the scene and believes Shanmugi to be a seductress. In anguish, Janaki,in her blue exposing saree hurriedly starts her car and drives to Pandian's house.<br /> <br /> Janaki reaches Pandian's house to reclaim him, but upon seeing Rathna waiting there, and Shanmugi's clothes lying around, thinks that her husband, too, is promiscuous. She again starts her car and drives to a bridge crying and attempts suicide by jumping into a river, but Shanmugi saves her and reveals her identity as Pandian. Janaki and Pandian reconcile, while Pandian &quot;kills off&quot; Shanmugi by attributing her &quot;death&quot; to drowning while saving Janaki.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> {{cast listing|<br /> * [[Kamal Haasan]] as Avvai Shanmugi / Pandiyan<br /> * [[Meena (actress)|Meena]] as Janaki Pandiyan<br /> * [[Gemini Ganesan]] as Vishwanathan Iyer<br /> * [[Nagesh]] as Joseph<br /> * [[Manivannan]] as Sambantham Mudaliyar<br /> * [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] as Basha<br /> * [[Delhi Ganesh]] as Sethuram Iyer<br /> * [[Heera Rajagopal|Heera]] as Rathna (dubbed by [[Savitha Radhakrishnan]])<br /> * [[Rani (Tamil actress)|Rani]] as Kousi<br /> * Baby Anne as Bharathi<br /> &lt;!--* [[Bayilvan Ranganathan]]<br /> * [[Idichapuli Selvaraj]]--&gt;<br /> * [[Kavithalayaa Krishnan]] as a lawyer<br /> * [[S.

Haasan later desired to do a film inspired by the American films ''[[Kramer vs. Kramer]]'' (1979) and ''[[Tootsie]]'' (1982) which became ''Avvai Shanmughi''. He acknowledged the film's resemblance to another American film ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]'' (1993), but &quot;I guess we were both inspired from the same source&quot; since he had the idea for ''Avvai Shanmughi'' six years before the release of ''Mrs. Doubtfire''.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |last=Jha |first=Subhash K |date=13 August 2014 |title=Kamal Haasan: Robin Williams brought dignity to male tears |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/kamal-haasan-robin-williams-brought-dignity-to-male-tears/20140813.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200629143108/https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/kamal-haasan-robin-williams-brought-dignity-to-male-tears/20140813.htm |archive-date=29 June 2020 |access-date=29 June 2020 |website=[[Rediff.com]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; Haasan dedicated the film to his mentor stage actor 'Avvai' [[T.

However, he sustained a [[knee injury]] that ultimately led him to abandon his athletic career. Following this, he began creating sports-themed [[cartoon]]s. He authored the book ''Sportoons'' (1982), considered India's first collection of sports-themed cartoons, marking his debut in published works. Alexyz then released his next book, ''Howzzat! Century of Cricket Cartoons'' (1987),&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |last=D'Cruz |first=Dolcy |date=26 Mar 2016 |title=A cartoonist's Goa |url=https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/A-cartoonist%E2%80%99s-Goa-/100282 |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=oHeraldo}}&lt;/ref&gt; the first collection of [[cricket]]-themed cartoons to be published in India. The inclusion of verses authored by the Australian cricketer Sir [[Don Bradman]] in this work led to its commendation by the [[curator]] of the [[Bradman Museum &amp; International Cricket Hall of Fame]] in [[New South Wales]], Australia. The museum currently displays three of Alexyz's [[artwork]]s. Additionally, he presented an [[exhibition]] centered on cricket in [[Adelaide, Australia]], with a special emphasis on Bradman. Alongside his published books, Alexyz was also active as a daily contributor for multiple newspapers located in [[Bombay]], like ''[[The Indian Express]]'', ''[[Mid-Day]]'', ''[[The Free Press Journal]]'', ''Sunday Observers'', and ''[[Reader's Digest]]'', as well as for newspapers in [[Goa]].&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |date=15 Dec 2019 |title=Herald's first cartoonist to receive State award |url=https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/Heralds-first-cartoonist-to-receive-State-award/154712 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240620184256/https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/Heralds-first-cartoonist-to-receive-State-award/154712 |archive-date=2024-06-20 |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=oHeraldo}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Support by Mario Miranda and ''Sportoons'' ===<br /> [[Mario Miranda]] was a popular [[cartoonist]] who was Alexyz's contemporary. Miranda played a significant role in supporting and mentoring Alexyz, as the latter entered the field of [[cartooning]]. Miranda started working on cartoons shortly after completing his education, contrasting Alexyz, who took a more extended period, around eight years [[post-graduation]], to discover his own potential. Miranda was a cartoonist at ''[[The Times of India]]'' in Bombay, a location in close proximity to the college where Alexyz studied. Miranda introduced Alexyz to [[Khalid A. H. Ansari]], the co-founder of the Bombay-based newspaper ''[[Mid-Day]]''. Alexyz soon developed a specialty in creating sports-themed cartoons, coining the term ''Sportoons'', which became widely adopted. Miranda also introduced Alexyz to politician [[Erasmo de Sequeira]], who was responsible for the operations of the Goan newspaper, ''Goa Monitor''. Alexyz later joined the ''West Coast Times'' in [[Margao]] and subsequently became the inaugural cartoonist for the Goan newspaper ''[[O Heraldo]]'' during the 1980s.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Late 1980s: Konkani language agitation ===<br /> {{Main|Konkani language agitation}}<br /> Alexyz is known for his [[political]] work during significant regional and [[national movement]]s in India during the 1980s. He was recognised for his [[cartoon]]s published in ''O Heraldo'', which provided him with extensive creative freedom and space to contribute to the ongoing [[Konkani language agitation]] and Goa's statehood struggle. Under the editorship of Rajan Narayan, ''O Heraldo'' granted Alexyz a large allotment of up to 8 [[Comic strip|cartoon panels]] per issue. This allowed him to frequently comment on the political events and issues central to the [[regional autonomy]] and [[linguistic right]]s campaigns, through his distinctive visual style. Alexyz's cartoons were often reproduced as posters that were used to galvanize support for the [[Political demonstration|agitation]]s. Along with his daily cartoons, he also contributed work to the paper's [[Supplement (publishing)|supplementary section]]s.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Early 2000s: International exhibitions ===<br /> In 2000, Alexyz was invited by British [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]], [[Keith Vaz]], to organise a three-day [[exhibition]] of his cartoons at the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons in London]]. Alexyz became the only Indian cartoonist to receive such an invitation. He also spent extended periods, over 45 days, working and exhibiting in the United States and Canada over the course of his career.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === 2010s: Addressing of social and political issues ===<br /> Through his work, Alexyz has addressed [[societal]] and [[political issue]]s within the state of [[Goa]]. In 2015, he authored a book, ''O To Be In Goa... Today'', dedicating it to three of his close associates: fellow cartoonist [[Mario Miranda]], musician Emiliano da Cruz, and [[Photojournalism|journalist-photographer]] Joel D'Souza. Many have observed that Fernandes's cartoons provide a vivid representation of the [[zeitgeist]], and their visual nature renders them more accessible and easier to comprehend for the general public.&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> He thus organized a cartoon exhibition and [[Installation art|installations]] in December 2015. ''O To Be In Goa... Today'' acts as a visual record of the occurrences in Goa during the period between 2013 and 2015. The exhibition, held at the [[Kala Academy]] in [[Panjim]], Goa, featured 50 [[artwork]]s. The collection included pieces that had been featured in a newspaper as well as new creations that had not been exhibited previously. Alexyz's last exhibition before this was in 2008, when he unveiled his book titled ''Goa, Goan, Goaing, Gone...?''&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |last=Das |first=Arti |date=2015-12-22 |title='Everyday Goa changes for the worst' …says cartoonist Alexyz |url=https://www.navhindtimes.in/2015/12/22/goanews/everyday-goa-changes-for-the-worst-says-cartoonist-alexyz/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240620184258/https://www.navhindtimes.in/2015/12/22/goanews/everyday-goa-changes-for-the-worst-says-cartoonist-alexyz/ |archive-date=2024-06-20 |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=[[The Navhind Times]] |language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === 2019–2023: Work on autobiography and later career ===<br /> {{As of|2019|December}}, Alexyz was in the process of writing an [[autobiographical]] work, titled, ''50 Funky Years of a Goan Cartoonist''. He had scheduled the publication of the book to coincide with his 75th birthday in 2020. Over the course of his career, his portfolio consisted of thousands of cartoons, including his initial published piece in a [[parish magazine]] located in [[Wadala]]. For the autobiography, he intended to incorporate insights and commentary from members of the broader [[Goan]] [[diaspora]].&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In addition to his autobiography, Alexyz made artistic contributions to an updated version of ''Greatest Konkani Songs Volume 2'', authored by Francis Rodrigues, who is based in Canada. This edition was released in December 2019 at [[Institute Menezes Braganza]] in [[Panjim]]. Despite the financial challenges often associated with a career in [[cartooning]], Alexyz remained actively engaged in sharing his artistic talents. He continued to lead &quot;funshops&quot; - educational and creative [[workshop]]s - for children and young aspiring artists. Alexyz firmly believed that the freedom to create cartoons was essential, stating &quot;if there is no freedom then the fun is lost from cartooning.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === 2024: Alexyz@80 ===<br /> To celebrate his 80th birthday in 2024, Alexyz organised a 10-day exhibition titled Alexyz@80 at the Art Chamber-Galeria de Belas Artes in [[Calangute]]. Starting on 5 October, it featured 70 artworks by him, including his most significant ones like the [[Mandovi bridge collapse]] and those depicting his travels to other countries. The celebration also featured the screening of a documentary on Alexyz. On 13 October, World Goa Day was celebrated with Alexyz singing two songs. Further, his friends had begun digitizing his artworks and had already scanned 25,000 of them.&lt;ref name=&quot;heraldgoa.in&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Personal life==<br /> Alexyz was based in the city of [[Bombay]],&lt;ref name=&quot;:5&quot; /&gt; before returning to his ancestral hometown of [[Siolim]] in [[Goa]] in the early 1970s.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=ABC of Alexyz (and Marialena) |url=https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/ABC-of-Alexyz-and-Marialena/195879 |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=oHeraldo |archive-date=2024-06-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240620184401/https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/ABC-of-Alexyz-and-Marialena/195879 |url-status=live }}&lt;/ref&gt; Throughout his career, he maintained close personal and professional relationships with several well-known [[Goan]] artists and professionals.

It is located in [[Mylapore]], [[Chennai]] in the [[India]]n state of [[Tamil Nadu]]. The temple was built around the 7th century CE and is an example of [[South Indian Architecture]].&lt;ref&gt;[[#Silas|Silas 2007]], p. 114&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;kamath&quot;&gt;[[#Kamath|Kamath 2002]], pp.28-31&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> According to the ''[[Puranas]]'', [[Parvati]] worshipped her husband Shiva in the form of a [[peacock|peahen]] (''mayil'' in [[Tamil language|Tamil]]), giving the vernacular name ''Mylai'' ({{IAST|Mayilāi}}) to the area that developed around the temple.&lt;ref&gt;[[#Hurd|Hurd 2010]], p. 36&lt;/ref&gt; Shiva is worshiped as Kapaleeshwarar, and is represented by the ''[[lingam]]''. Parvati is worshipped as Karpagambal (goddess of the wish-yielding tree). The presiding deity is revered in the 7th-century Tamil Shaiva canonical work, the ''[[Tevaram]]'', written by Tamil saint poets known as the [[Nayanars]] and classified as one of the ''[[Paadal Petra Sthalam]]''.<br /> <br /> The temple has numerous shrines, with those of Kapaleeshwarar and Karpagambal being the most prominent. The temple complex houses many halls. The temple has six daily rituals at various times from 5:30&amp;nbsp;a.m. to 10 p.m., and four yearly festivals on its calendar. The [[Aṟupatimūvar]] festival celebrated during the Tamil month of ''Panguni'' as part of the [[brahmotsava]] is the most prominent festival in the temple.<br /> <br /> The temple is maintained and administered by the [[Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department]] of the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.tnhrce.org/hrce_act_1959.html Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Legend ==<br /> [[File:KapaliKarpagambal.JPG|200x200px|thumb|left|Image of Karpagambal and Kapaleeshwarar]]<br /> The temple's name is derived from the words ''[[kapala]]'' (head) and ''[[Ishvara]]'', an epithet of Shiva. According to the ''[[Puranas]]'', during the meeting of the deities Brahma and Shiva at top of [[Mount Kailash]], Brahma failed to show the due respect to Shiva. Due to this, Shiva plucked off one of the five heads (''kapala'') of Brahma. In an act of penance, Brahma came down to the site of Mylapore and installed a [[lingam]] to please Shiva.&lt;ref name=Meena&gt;{{cite book|title=Temples in South India|last=V.|first=Meena|publisher=Harikumar Arts|location=Kanniyakumari|year=1974|edition=1st|page=46}}&lt;/ref&gt; This place is known as Sukra Puri, Veda Puri, among many other names including &quot;Kailaye Mayilai&quot; and &quot;Mayilaye Kayilai&quot; ({{Lit|Mylapore is Kailash}}). According to [[Sthala purana|regional legend]], Shiva's consort [[Parvati]] (Karpagambal), due to a curse became a pea-hen and did penance here to get back her original form. Her son [[Murugan]] received the spear ([[vel]]) for the destruction of a demon from Parvati here. Brahma had worshipped here to get rid of his ego and get back his power to create. The four Vedas have worshipped here. [[Shukra]] worshipped Shiva here and got back his lost eye. The daughter of Sivanesa Chettiar Angam Poompavai, who died due to snake bite, was resurrected here by the powers of the [[Nayanars|Nayanar]] saint [[Sambandar]].&lt;ref name=&quot;kamath&quot; /&gt; [[Vayilar]], another Nayanar saint, attained salvation here.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Kapaleeshwarar Temple|url=https://www.lankapradeepa.com/2021/08/kapaleeshwarar-temple.html|publisher=Lankapradeepa|date=22 August 2021|access-date=4 November 2021}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> [[File:Mylapore Kapaleeshwarar temple facade.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Facade of the temple]]<br /> [[File:Kapalisvar temple festival in mayilai circa 1940.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The temple festival in c. 1940]]<br /> The temple is generally thought to be built in the 7th century CE by the ruling [[Pallava]]s.&lt;ref name=&quot;V.&quot;&gt;[[#V.|V. 2006]], p. 13&lt;/ref&gt; This view is based on references to the temple in the hymns of the Nayanar saints.

Like other Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the [[Shaivism|Shaiva]] community. The temple rituals are performed six times a day; Ushathkalam at 6:00&amp;nbsp;a.m., Kalasanthi at 9:00&amp;nbsp;a.m., Uchikalam at 1:00&amp;nbsp;p.m., Sayarakshai at 5:00&amp;nbsp;p.m., Irandamkalam at 7:00&amp;nbsp;p.m. and Ardha Jamam at 9:00&amp;nbsp;p.m. There is a separate calendar for the Rahu Abhishekam (sacred ablution): it is performed twice in a day at 11:30 a.m and 5:30&amp;nbsp;p.m. and additionally twice at various times in the day. Each ritual comprises four steps: ''[[abhisheka]]'' (sacred bath), ''alangaram'' (decoration), ''[[Naivedhya|neivethanam]]'' (food offering) and ''[[Arti (Hinduism)|deepa aradanai]]'' (waving of lamps) for both Kapaleeshwarar and Karpagambal. The worship is held amidst music with ''[[nagaswaram|nadasvaram]]'' (pipe instrument) and ''[[tavil]]'' (percussion instrument), religious instructions in the [[Vedas]] (sacred text) read by priests and prostration by worshippers in front of the temple mast. There are weekly rituals like ''{{lang|te-Latn|somavaram}}'' and ''{{lang|te-Latn|sukravaram}}'', fortnightly rituals like ''[[pradosha]]m'' and monthly festivals like ''[[amavasya|amavasai]]'' (new moon day), ''kiruthigai'', ''[[pournami (festival)|pournami]]'' (full moon day) and ''sathurthi''.&lt;ref name=&quot;dinamalar&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Sri Kapaleeswarar temple|url=https://temple.dinamalar.com/en/new_en.php?id=628|publisher=Dinamalar|access-date=22 November 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Pooja details|url=http://www.mylaikapaleeswarar.tnhrce.in/Pooja-details-kapaleeswar.html|publisher=Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar Temple|location=Mylapore, Chennai|access-date=22 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203010949/http://www.mylaikapaleeswarar.tnhrce.in/Pooja-details-kapaleeswar.html|archive-date=3 December 2013|url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt; During Friday worship, Karpagambal is decorated with a ''kasu mala'', a garland made of gold coins.<br /> <br /> ==Festivals==<br /> [[File:Karpagambalkapaleeswrar.jpg|left|thumb|200px|''[[Murti]]''s of Karpagambal and Kapaleeshwarar]]<br /> [[File:Devotees praying at KapaleeshwararTemple, Chennai. 2010.jpg|thumb|Devotees praying at KapaleeshwararTemple, [[Chennai]]. 2010]]<br /> During the Tamil month of ''[[Tamil calendar|Panguni]]'', the traditional ''[[Brahmotsava]]m'' (annual festival) takes place when the entire neighborhood comes alive with a ''[[mela|mela (carnival)]]''-like atmosphere. Since this month corresponds to the mid-March to mid-April duration, the Kapaleeshwarar temple celebrates the nine day-long as ''Panguni Peruvila'' (Spring festival).&lt;ref&gt;[[#Bhargava|Bhargava 2006]], p. 451&lt;/ref&gt; The festival starts with ''dhvajarohanam'' (flag hoisting), includes the ''terotsavam'', (festival of chariot), Arupathimoovar festival and concludes with the ''Tirukkalyanam'' (Marriage of Kapaleeshwararand Karpagambal). In ''Brahmotsavam'', the idols of Kapaleeshwarar and Karpagambal are decorated with clothes and jewels, are mounted on a ''vahana'', and then taken around the temple and its water tank in a ''[[pradakshina]]m'' (a clockwise path when seen from above). This is repeated with different ''vahanas'' over the next nine days. The more important of the individual ''pradakshinams'' are the ''Athigara Nandhi'' on the third day, the ''Rishaba Vahanam'' on the midnight of the fifth day, the ''[[Temple car|ther]]'' (about 13 meters in height and pulled by people) on the seventh morning, and the ''Aṟupatimūvar'' festival on the eighth day.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Festival details|url=http://www.mylaikapaleeswarar.tnhrce.in/festival-kapaleeswar.html|publisher=Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar Temple|location=Mylapore, Chennai|access-date=22 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131121081717/http://www.mylaikapaleeswarar.tnhrce.in/festival-kapaleeswar.html|archive-date=21 November 2013|url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The ''Arupathimoovar'' festival is the most important procession.&lt;ref name=&quot;V.&quot;/&gt; It is named after the sixty-three Nayanar saints.

The species has a very regal and graceful ''[[Cervus]]''-like physique. Its legs are thin and long and have a long body with a large head on a thin neck. The throat of a male has a thick mane of long hair. Males (stags) are taller and heavier than females (hinds or does). Their coats, rough and coarse, change colour with the season; in [[summer]] the colour is reddish-brown, while in [[winter]], it turns dark brown, with males tending to be darker than the females. The tail is short in length and the rump has no distinct patch. Despite these features, they have actually related to the [[Père David's deer]].&lt;ref name=&quot;genus&quot;/&gt; The antlers, bow- or [[lyre]]-shaped, do not grow upwards, but tend to grow outwards and then inwards; a smaller branch grows towards the front of the head. The brow tines are especially long and noticeable. The brow-antlered deer is so named because they have long [[Antler#Hunting|brow]] [[tine (structural)|tine]]s. The antlers of Eld's deer are structurally different from those of [[barasingha]] but have similarities to those of [[Père David's deer]], consistent with the genetic relationship.&lt;ref name=&quot;antler&quot;&gt;{{cite journal | last1=Samejima | first1=Y. | last2=Matsuoka | first2=H. | title=A new viewpoint on antlers reveals the evolutionary history of deer (Cervidae, Mammalia). | journal=Scientific Reports | date=2020 | volume=10 | issue= 1| page=8910 | doi=10.1038/s41598-020-64555-7 | pmid=32488122| pmc=7265483 | bibcode=2020NatSR..10.8910S }}&lt;/ref&gt; They shed their antlers every year, with the largest size attained during the [[breeding season]].&lt;ref name=facts/&gt;&lt;ref name =world/&gt;&lt;ref name=Lydekker/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Conservation status==<br /> The conservation status of three subspecies of Eld's deer, by country, are:<br /> [[File:Cervus frontalis.jpg|thumb|The first Western illustration of Eld's deer]]<br /> <br /> ===India===<br /> The [[Keibul Lamjao National Park]] (KLNP), covering an area of {{convert|40|km2|mi2|abbr=on|1}} of marshland called the [[Phumdis]] within the larger [[Loktak Lake]], was gazetted in 1977 specifically to protect the ''Rucervus eldii eldii'', the ''[[sangai]]'' in Meitei. Over time, public awareness and local support have evolved for conserving the subspecies of the endemic endangered Eld's deer. Concerted actions have been initiated to stop the encroachment of the park and adequate security arrangements have been made to stop poaching. This fact is very somberly presented in a story form in a popular children's magazine called ''[[Chandamama]]'', which gives a first-person symbolic narrative by the affected 'deer' itself. The final conclusion by the deer, quoted below, concisely puts the security provided in the park in a proper perspective.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.chandamama.com/story/stories.php?mId=2&amp;cId=5&amp;sbCId=52&amp;stId=548 |title=Dance, Deer Sangai |access-date=2009-04-06 |publisher=Chandamama |date=2008-03-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708134559/http://www.chandamama.com/story/stories.php?mId=2&amp;cId=5&amp;sbCId=52&amp;stId=548 |archive-date=8 July 2011}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot; 'Thanks to these youngsters who live nearby', he said. I was happy and felt indebted to the youngsters for saving our lives. My friend added that these people really loved and respected the Sangai deer. They believed that killing the Sangai was an unpardonable sin. According to a Meitei legend, the Sangai are the link between humans and nature. So, killing us would mean breaking a bond. My friend informed me that people concerned about animals like us have formed a group. They teach others to protect animals, too.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> The news that people are trying their best to save the phumdis, deer like me, and the Loktak Lake, infuse new hope in me. 'How nice of them!' I thought.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Anyway, it is getting dark and my friend and I have to return to our herd. And those of you who are around can enjoy our dancing gait as we trot back home. It would be great if I could meet you again. We could dance together at KLNP, if you can make it here some time!&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> The home range of brow-antlered deer in the park is confined to {{convert|15|-|20|km2|mi2|1|abbr=on}} in the southwestern part of the lake where phumdis on which the deer thrive are abundant. A study conducted on the proportion, on the basis of body weight of [[stag]], [[Hind (female deer)|hind]] and [[fawn]], is reported to be 4:2:1. The ''sangai'' distribution dictated by shelter and availability of food is high near Toyaching, Pabotching and the Yang Kokchambi area.&lt;ref name=sangit&gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.wii.gov.in/publications/newsletter/autumn2003/fromthewild.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20041116135913/http://www.wii.gov.in/publications/newsletter/autumn2003/fromthewild.htm |archive-date=2004-11-16 |title=Dancing Deer of Manipur |access-date=2009-04-05 |author=S.

Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary, with an area of {{convert|104|mi2|km2|abbr=on|1}} in Myanmar's central plains, {{convert|125|mi2|km2|abbr=on|1}} northwest of the city of [[Mandalay]], has Indaing deciduous broadleaf forest dominated by ''[[Dipterocarpus tuberculatus]]'' and is the habitat for four species of deer: thamin, [[muntjac]] (''Muntiacus muntjac''), [[hog deer]] (''Axis porcinus''), and ''[[sambar (deer)|sambhar]]'' (''Rusa unicolor''). Subject to indiscriminate hunting in the past (till the ownership of guns was controlled after the 1960s), the thamin, highly threatened, now has a population of about 1,000. Initially, the Smithsonian National Zoo acquired a few thamin for observations and subsequently shifted a few to its Conservation and Research Center at [[Front Royal]], [[Virginia]] for biological study.&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;&lt;ref name=wemmer&gt;{{Cite web |url=http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Publications/ZooGoer/2000/5/thaminandchatthin.cfm |title=The Thamin and a Place Called Chatthin |access-date=2009-04-05 |author=Christen Wemmer |publisher=Smithsonian National Zoological Park |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090426033902/http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Publications/ZooGoer/2000/5/thaminandchatthin.cfm |archive-date=26 April 2009}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> For a cross&amp;ndash;check of the biological studies done at the research center, the Smithsonian Institution selected the Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected park. Special studies on the thamin deer were conducted by the conservation scientists headed by Christen Wemmer of the Smithsonian. They gathered details on the [[biology]] and survival of the species by duly correlating with the changes that occurred in the [[ecology]] of the region of the Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary. Under the research project study, the ecology of thamin and a series of training courses in [[biodiversity]] were organised. The thamin's life cycle studies on 11 male and eight female radio&amp;ndash;collared deer, supported by field studies by the scientists, revealed:&lt;ref name=wemmer/&gt;<br /> <br /> # Its life cycle was well-tuned to the seasonal rhythm of its [[Environment (biophysical)|environment]].<br /> # An average group size was 2.5 per {{convert|1.6|km2|mi2|abbr=on}}; deer mother with young appeared to be the basic social unit.<br /> # Males were in [[velvet]] when they were in bachelor groups.<br /> # After new [[grass]] sprouts in the ashes of February and March fires, they gathered to graze on tender shoots.<br /> # Males moved through the herds seeking receptive females.<br /> # March and April were the months of rut.<br /> # Males with their newly hardened antlers were in a state of [[Anorexia (symptom)|anorexia]] and sexual obsession during this period.<br /> # They operated in a specific home range of about {{convert|3.5|mi2|km2|abbr=on|1}} to {{convert|2.7|mi2|km2|abbr=on|1}}.<br /> # When food was short, some animals migrated into farmland for a few months before returning to the park; during the day they hid in small patches of degraded forest and at night they forayed into the croplands.<br /> <br /> Smithsonian National Zoological Park, which has been closely associated with the preservation of the thamin deer, has in its conclusive observations stated:&lt;ref name=GIS&gt;{{Cite web |title=Conservation GIS Projects:People and the Forests of Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary in Myanmar |url=http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ConservationAndScience/ConservationGIS/projects/thamin/peopleandforests.cfm |access-date=2009-04-05 |publisher=Smithsonian National Zoological Park |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070612061115/http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ConservationAndScience/ConservationGIS/projects/thamin/peopleandforests.cfm |archive-date=12 June 2007}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary (CWS) in Myanmar (Burma) protects the largest population of the endangered Eld's deer left in the world. It also represents one of the largest remaining patches of [[dipterocarp]] forest&amp;ndash;a dry forest that is one of the most threatened and least protected forest types globally. Local people rely on these forests for their livelihood. The forests provide wood, food, [[wikt:shelter|shelter]], and [[medicine]]. Restricting people's access to these forests by declaring them protected is probably not a sustainable solution and will put greater burden on lower income households potentially increasing poverty. However, if people continue to use and abuse forests unregulated they will disappear and with them the Eld's deer and many other species.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> With external funding for such protection drying up, though, the efforts had not yielded encouraging results and the conclusion was the conditions were not conducive even to protect the protected parks given the political and funding situation in the country.<br /> <br /> The picture is not encouraging in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, either. The Burmese brow-antlered deer is 'Near Threatened' and still occurs in reasonable numbers.<br /> <br /> ===Thailand===<br /> The situation of protected areas for the Eld's deer is much worse in Thailand and along its border areas with Laos and Cambodia; it is feared that it may be difficult to prevent the &quot;decline and likely extirpation of Eld's deer from the wild in Thailand&quot;.&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Other countries===<br /> In Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, Eld's deer was hunted for the traditional medicinal trade (particularly of this subspecies) and to meet demand for captive animals (especially from zoos) and forest habitat was degraded ([[deforestation|deforested]]) to meet agriculture and infrastructural developments. The subpopulation in Hainan considered as a subspecies by Chinese conservationists was almost extinct in the wild.&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;<br /> <br /> In the [[Savannakhet Province]] of Laos, conservation efforts centred around community management caused the local population to increase from 80 to 170. A 130,000 hectare National Eld's Deer Sanctuary was created in the area.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=https://undp-biodiversity.exposure.co/it-takes-a-village |title=It takes a village |publisher=UNDP |date=13 May 2022 |access-date=6 August 2022}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Assessment==<br /> In over 200 recent years of known history, the number of this species has declined substantially. Based on estimated rates of the decline of this species assessed in three generations (supposed to be at least a 15-year period) for all the species, the average value is reported to be in excess of 50%. Based on this assessment, IUCN has categorised the species as Endangered. In this assessment for determining the species-level, the numbers in India were considered to be numerically small (also found to be increasing), hence the numbers of wild populations only of Eld's deer ''P. e. thamin'' in Myanmar and ''P. e. siamensis'' of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam were considered. The decline in population has been mainly attributed to hunting. In the case of the Myanmar thamin, the decline is discernible but not striking. The categorization is considered a middle-ground situation considering the extensively diverse conditions and conservation trends in the geographically isolated and distinct populations of this species.&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;&lt;ref name =world/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Subspecies==<br /> [[Image:Sangai.jpg|right|thumb|250px|''Rucervus eldii eldii'' or ''[[sangai]]'' in Manipur, where it is also the state animal&lt;ref name=&quot;kimn&quot;&gt;{{cite web |title=Symbols of Manipur- knowindia.gov.in |url=http://knowindia.gov.in/knowindia/national_symbols.php?id=16#man |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131112080035/http://knowindia.gov.in/knowindia/national_symbols.php?id=16#man |archive-date=12 November 2013 |access-date=15 August 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;]]<br /> <br /> ===Breeding===<br /> Female Eld's deer are generally found alone or in pairs with their young, but during the mating season, females and their young gather in herds of up to 50 individuals. Males also move around singly except during [[mating season]]. When rutting takes place, males compete with each other to gain control of a [[Harem (zoology)|harem]] of females with which they can then mate. After a long [[gestation period]], normally a single calf is born. The young have white spots at birth which fade away as they grow; they are weaned at seven months of age, and become sexually mature from 18 months of age onwards. The gestation period for three species is 220 to 240 days, with birthing occurring:.&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;&lt;ref name =world/&gt;&lt;ref name=Lydekker/&gt;<br /> <br /> * For Manipur deer, between October and end of December<br /> * For the Burmese thamin, between October and November<br /> * For the siamensis deer in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, between October and November<br /> <br /> [[Image:Burma-thamin.jpg|thumb|''Rucervus eldii thamin'' of Myanmar and Thailand]]<br /> [[Image:Deer CMZ 5.jpg|thumb|''Rucervus eldii siamens'' of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam]]<br /> <br /> ===Numbers in the wild===<br /> In India, the Eld's deer sangai subspecies is confined to the peculiar floating [[bog]] called [[Phumdis]] in Loktak Lake and is numbered at less than a few hundred animals. The subspecies ''P. e. siamensis'', which occupied the vast monsoon forests from Thailand to Hainan was extinct in Thailand, very few in number in Laos and Cambodia, and almost extinct in Vietnam. A few hundred deer were protected in a large enclosure in [[Hainan Island]], [[China]].&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;&lt;ref name=facts/&gt;&lt;ref name=wemmer/&gt; The estimated figures are:<br /> <br /> * 180 animals (2004) of ''P. e. eldii'' in Manipur, India<br /> * 2,200 ([[United Nations]] estimate) &amp;ndash; 1992 survey for ''P. e. thamin'' of Burma and Thailand<br /> * In low tens (2004)&amp;ndash; for ''P. e. siamensis'', considered as possibly [[extirpate]]d in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam{{Citation needed|date=September 2020}}<br /> <br /> ===Numbers in captivity (zoos)===<br /> In 2003, the estimated number of captive animals of the three subspecies in zoos were&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt; 180 ''P. e. eldii'', 1100 ''P. e. thamin'' and 23 ''P. e. siamensis''.<br /> <br /> ==Ecology==<br /> Habitats of each subspecies include:&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;<br /> <br /> * ''R. e. eldii'' of Manipur, India is associated with [[wetland]]s. It has adaptations of the [[hooves]] (feet) to move easily in their marshland (boggy ground) habitat of phumdis. It lives in significantly different [[ecosystem]]s compared to other subspecies and in divergent [[morphology (biology)|morphology]]. Antlers are shed every year and reach their largest size during the breeding season.<br /> * ''R. e. thamin'' of Burma and Thailand are not associated with wetlands and live in three forest types: indaing forest (dominated by the tree ''[[Dipterocarpus]] tuberculatus'') equivalent to [[deciduous]] [[dipterocarp]] forest (dipterocarp trees which belong to the family Dipterocarpaceae are resinous trees found in the Old World tropics) of [[Indochina]] and Thailand, [[deciduous]] forests of dry (thandahat), and mixed ([[teak]]).<br /> * ''R. e. siamensis'' of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam are not associated with wetlands. They are found in deciduous dipterocarp forests.<br /> <br /> ==Behavior==<br /> Some observations on the habits of Eld's deer common to all three subspecies are:<br /> <br /> * active most of the time; they seek shelter from the midday sun and migrate for short periods seeking water in the dry season and food in the growing season<br /> * seek areas that are seasonally burned in search of new grasses that grow after the burn<br /> * their diets comprise a variety of grasses, herbaceous plants, and shoots, grasses, fruit and wetland plants and they poach into cultivated crops to graze and browse in nearby fields of [[rice]], [[lentils]], [[maize]], [[peas]] and grapes.&lt;ref name=iucn/&gt;&lt;ref name=facts/&gt;&lt;ref name=sangai/&gt;&lt;ref name=eldii&gt;{{Encyclopedia of Life|308524 |''Cervus eldii'' M'Clelland, 1842|access-date=2009-04-04}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Threats==<br /> Thamin are prized as game by hunters due to their impressive antlers and hides that are in demand in local markets. They are also widely hunted for food; they were believed to have been used to feed [[army|armies]] during many [[Asia]]n [[war]]s. Their population has additionally declined due to intense development activities necessitating reclamation of land for grazing, cultivation and fish farming within their range. In Myanmar, [[deforestation]] of the dipterocarp forests is cited as a reason for the threat faced by the thamin deer. The [[habitat]] available for their protection is very limited; only 1% of the protected forests are suitable for its protection in [[South Asia]]. Even in protected areas, the animals are poached. Another striking problem is finding adequate funds and political will to protect the species. The species have a fragmented distribution and are therefore at risk from inbreeding and loss of genetic variation.&lt;ref name=facts/&gt; The film ''The Return of Sangai'' is a documentary by [[George Thengummoottil]] about the species in [[Keibul Lamjao National Park]].{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}<br /> <br /> The decrease of Eld’s deer populations may be due to predation by [[Burmese python]]s.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|first1=Yan Wenbo|last1=Wang Qi|first2=Zeng Zhigao|last2=Wang Hesheng|title=Effects of Burmese python predation on Hainan Eld's deer population|date=May 2024|journal=Tropical Ecology|volume=65|issue=1|pages=572–579|doi=10.1007/s42965-024-00353-w |bibcode=2024TrEco..65..572W }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{Commons}}<br /> * E-Pao.Net - [http://www.e-pao.net/epPageExtractor.asp?src=features.sangai.html..

The massacre was ordered by [[Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah|the Nawab of the Carnatic]] to a &quot;Captain Rumley&quot; in charge of his army. The murder of the Indigenous people occurred, as they refused to pay taxes to the Nawab. The carnage is recorded in a 1835 magazine.<br /> <br /> &quot;the Nabob sent a detachment, under the command of Captain Rumley, consisting of five battalions of Native infantry and 1,500 cavalry. This force encamped at Maloor; and, after a fortnight, Captain Rumley summoned the Nattaurs. They would not appear; indeed, they continued to manifest their licentious character and contemptuously slighted the detachment. In consequence of this, Captain Rumley marched to Vellaloor naud; and, having caused the village to be surrounded, he required the principal Nattaurs to surrender. But, as the whole of the Colleries persevered and were preparing for hostility, using insulting language and brandishing their weapons within the hedge which surrounded the village, Captain Rumley ordered the hedge to be set on fire. The fire soon communicated to the houses, and the conflagration became general; upon this, in order to save themselves from the flames, the Colleries sallied out, when the troops and cavalry attacked all that ventured out and killed them, without regard to sex or age! It is said that about three thousand men, women, and children were slain on that day!&quot; [https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=FjVGAAAAcAAJ Alexander's East India and Colonial MagazineJ]<br /> <br /> Following this ten peons were sent by the Nawab to the area and murdered by the villagers who then burned their village and invaded into neighbouring territory. Captain Rowley ordered the Nawabs troops to the area and killed 2000 of them in the fight.<br /> <br /> These events were preceded by several instances of refusal to pay tax to the various rulers. The term Kallan meant to &quot;steal&quot; and they had long resisted any authority. In 1755 Colonel Alexander Heron led an expedition against the Poligar of Kumaravadi, Lackenaig (Lakshmi Naik?), whose Governor Mayana had taken refugee at the temple of Kovilkudi, at Tirumbur Village. Colonel. Heron and [[Maruthanayagam Pillai|Yusuf Khan]] led the soldiers in burning down the temple. In this incident, an idol revered by the Kallans were removed and held for a ransom of Five Thousand Rupees. The Kallans being unable to pay, the idol was melted down. This act of Colonel. Heron was condemned even by the Madras Council of the East India Company, as an action becoming unworthy of an English officer, and the prejudice that this act will cause among the natives about England.&lt;ref name=&quot;SCHill&quot;&gt;{{cite book |last1=Hill |first1=Samuel Charles |url=https://archive.org/details/cu31924024059259 |title=Yusuf Khan The Rebel Commandant |date=1914 |publisher=Longmans, Green and Co. |location=London |access-date=28 March 2022}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Indian classical literature, including [[Tamil Sangam literature]] have only glorified kings as a norm, and hence this massacre of common people did not find a mention in contemporary literature of that period.
