In Pune, the responsibilities of the Guardian minister extend beyond the typical duties. The minister is also required to lead the committee responsible for ensuring all necessary facilities during the annual pilgrimage from [[Alandi]] and [[Dehu]] to [[Pandharpur]]. The Guardian Minister also closely monitors the preparations during the [[Ganesh Festival]].<ref name="B2">{{cite news |last1=Jadhav |first1=Ajay |title=No rule for appointment: Guardian minister is ex-officio chairperson of district planning panel |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/no-rule-for-appointment-guardian-minister-is-ex-officio-chairperson-of-district-planning-panel5771642/ |publisher=[[Indian Express]] |date=9 June 2019}}</ref>

A '''guardian minister''' is a [[cabinet minister|cabinet-level minister]] in India appointed by a state government to oversee the development of a specific district within the state. The guardian minister oversees the execution of various state government schemes and programs in the district and ensures that the district's administration is functioning efficiently. The position is typically held by a senior politician from the ruling party who acts as a liaison between the central government and the district administration, ensuring that the district receives the necessary resources and support to meet its development goals. The individual who hold this position is typically an elected [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Member of the Legislative Assembly]] (MLA) or [[Minister (government)|Cabinet minister]] who is designated to bring the personal attention of a minister to the development of that district.<ref name="A1">{{cite news |title=क्या आप जानते है क्या है जिले के पालकमंत्री का काम ? |url=https://www.mumbailive.com/hi/politics/know-what-are-the-duties-of-guardian-minister-of-maharashtra-45356 |publisher=Mumbai Live |date=13 February 2020 |language=Hindi}}</ref>

If a district does not have representation in the state cabinet, an outsider can be appointed to serve as the guardian minister for that district. A minister may serve as the guardian minister for multiple districts.<ref name="B2"/>

== Roles and responsibilities ==
Guardian minister refers to a designated [[Member of the Legislative Assembly|MLA]] (member of the legislative assembly) in a state government in India who is assigned responsibility for overseeing the development of a particular district. The role of the guardian minister is to bring personal attention and support to the district, working with the district collector and other officials to address local needs and promote growth.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}

The guardian minister is also the ex-officio chairperson of the [[District Planning Committee]] (DPC), which is responsible for addressing issues of common interest between [[panchayats]] (local government bodies) and municipalities, such as infrastructure development, resource sharing and environmental protection. The exact role and responsibilities of the DPC may vary by state, with some states headed by elected representatives and others led by administrative officials.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}

Guardian ministers are also responsible for coordinating solutions to various issues, including garbage disposal and facilitating land acquisition for large-scale projects such as highways, airports, industrial zones, waste processing plants, and water supply and sewage treatment. They are also tasked with monitoring the joint budget of all local civic bodies within the district.<ref name="A1"/>

They are expected to ensure the passing of a common draft budget and review its implementation quarterly. The Guardian Minister also plays a crucial role in ensuring the effective implementation of funds sanctioned by the central and state governments for various Schemes.<ref name="A1"/><ref>{{cite news |title=Bombay High Court |url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/112582807/ |publisher=Indian Kanoon |date=1 April 2021}}</ref>

The Guardian minister is seen as a way for a political leader or party to increase their control over a district, as the minister is positioned close to the citizens and is able to interact with them directly.<ref name="B2"/>

==Removal==
* Upon death
* Upon self resignation, or resignation or death of the Chief Minister
* Upon dismissal by the Governor for minister's unconstitutional acts per [[s:Constitution of India/Part V|Article 75(2)]]
* Upon direction from the Judiciary for committing violation of law

Their role involves holding [[Lok Adalat]]s, which are forums for addressing the grievances of citizens. The Guardian secretary is also responsible for coordinating with various government departments to resolve issues and ensure the implementation of development projects.<ref name="B2"/>

== Origin of the Temple ==
Sri Santhana Venugopala Swamy Temple is believed to have been constructed around 1800 years ago during the reign of the Cholas and [[Western Ganga dynasty|Gangas]]. A stick (known as ''dandā'' in Hindi) in the temple is said to belong to the pre-Buddhist Saint Koundinya Maharshi.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/438089/where-krishnas-flute-beckons.html | title=Where Krishna's flute beckons | date=27 October 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2013/jun/24/1800-year-old-temple-a-boon-for-childless-couples-489828.html | title=1,800-year-old temple a boon for childless couples }}</ref> There is a Koneru (a stone-faced tank with steps) near the temple named Bahuda Koneru.

Legend has it that Lord Krishna appeared in the dreams of the Kinga Gangarasaru and revealed his whereabouts. The King, while on his way back after victory in war, got his chariot wheel stuck at the same place mentioned by Lord Krishna. King Gangarosa unearthed an idol (or statute) and took it to the Sage Koundinya Ashram. Sage Koundinya installed the idol and offered prayers. Later, this temple was renovated by the Hoysala King Veeraballava. King Veeraballava donated lands to meet temple needs in the year 1298 AD.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}

'''Nammalvar''' was one of the twelve [[Alvars|Alvar]] saints of [[Tamil Nadu]], India, who are known for their affiliation to the [[Vaishnava]] tradition of [[Hinduism]]. The verses of the Alvars are compiled as the [[Nalayira Divya Prabandham|Naalayira Divya Prabandham]], where praises are sung of 108 temples that are classified as divine realms, called the [[Divya Desam|Divya Desams]]. Nammalvar is considered to be the fifth in the line of the twelve Alvars. He is highly regarded as a great mystic of the Vaishnava tradition. He is also considered to be the foremost among the twelve Alvars, and his contributions amount to 1352 among the 4000 stanzas in the ''Naalayira Divya Prabandam''.

According to traditional scriptures, Nammalvar was born in 3059 BCE in [[Alwarthirunagiri]];<ref name="Srinivasachariar1974">{{cite book|author=M.

The works of Nammalvar were compiled by Madhurakavi as four different works, the ''[[Tiruvaymoli]]'' (1,102 verses), ''[[Tiruviruttam]]'' (100 verses), ''[[Tiruvasiriyam|Tiruvaciriyam]]'' (or Tiru Asiriyam - 7 verses) and ''[[Periya Tiruvantati]]'' (87 verses). The works of Nammalvar contributed to the philosophical and theological ideas of Vaishnavism.

The Garudasevai festival in [[Nava Tirupathi|Nava Tirupati]], the nine Vishnu temples in the [[Thoothukudi]] region, and the [[Araiyar Sevai]] during the [[Vaikuntha Ekadashi]] festival of the [[Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam|Srirangam temple]] are dedicated to him. The verses of Nammalvar and other Alvars are recited as a part of daily prayers and during festive occasions in several Vaishnava temples in Tamil Nadu.

The religious works of these saints in [[Tamil language|Tamil]], songs of love and devotion, are compiled as ''[[Nalayira Divya Prabandham]]'' containing 4000 verses and the 108 temples revered in their songs are classified as Divya Desam.<ref name="Rao"/><ref name="Dalal21">[[#Dalal|Dalal]] 2011, pp. 20-21</ref> The saints had different origins and belonged to different castes. As per history, the first three ''alvars'', [[Poigai Alvar]], [[Bhoothath Alvar]] and [[Pey Alvar]] were born miraculously. [[Thirumalisai Alvar]] was the son of a sage, [[Thondaradippodi Alvar]], [[Madhurakavi Alvar]], [[Periyalvar]] and [[Andal]] were from the [[Brahmin]] community, [[Kulashekhara Alwar|Kulashekhara Alvar]] was a [[kshatriya]], Nammalvar was a [[Vellalar|Vellala]], [[Thiruppaan Alvar]] was a paanar and [[Thirumangai Alvar]] was a ''kallar''.

According to these texts, the saints were considered incarnations of some form of Vishnu. Poigai is considered an incarnation of ''[[Panchajanya]]'' (Krishna's conch), Bhoothath of ''[[Kaumodaki|Kaumodakee]]'' (Vishnu's Mace/Club), Pey of ''[[Nandaka]]'' (Vishnu's sword), Thirumalisai of ''[[Sudarshan Chakra|Sudarshanam]]'' (Vishnu's discus), Namm of ''[[Vishvaksena]]'' (Vishnu's commander), Madhurakavi of ''Vainatheya'' (Vishnu's eagle, [[Garuda]]), Kulasekhara of ''[[Kaustubha]]'' (Vishnu's necklace), Periya of Garuda (Vishnu's eagle), Andal of [[Bhūmi|Bhoodevi]] (Vishnu's wife, [[Lakshmi]], in her form as Bhudevi), Thondaradippodi of ''Vanamaalai'' (Vishnu's garland), Thiruppaan of ''[[Srivatsa]]'' (An auspicious mark on Vishnu's chest) and Thirumangai of [[Sharanga (Hindu mythology)|Sharanga]], [[Rama]]'s bow.

According to a traditional account by Manavala Mamunigal, the first three ''alvars,'' namely Poigai, Bhoothath and Pey, belong to the [[Dvapara Yuga]] (before 4200 BCE).

==Early life==
According to traditional scriptures, Nammalvar was born on the 43rd Kali in 3059 BCE as an amsha of [[Vishvaksena]], Vishnu's army commander.<ref name="Srinivasachariar1974" /> He was born into a [[Vellalar]] clan<ref>{{cite book |last=Narayanan |first=Vasudha |year=1994 |title=The Vernacular Veda: Revelation, Recitation, and Ritual |publisher=University of South Carolina Press |isbn=978-0872499652 |url=https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/The_Vernacular_Veda/x8uL8ki9-D8C}}</ref> at Thirukurukur (modern day [[Alwarthirunagiri]]) in the southernmost region of the Tamil country.<ref name="Sadaranganip28">{{cite book |title=Bhakti Poetry in Medieval India: Its Inception, Cultural Encounter and Impact |first=Neeti M. |last=Sadarangani |publisher=Sarup & Sons |year=2004 |isbn=9788176254366 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WVQrKJbJ2JIC |page=28}}</ref><ref name="Carmanp64">{{cite book |title=Majesty and Meekness: A Comparative Study of Contrast and Harmony in the Concept of God |first=John B. |last=Carman |publisher=Wm.

Tradition says that he must have been born fully enlightened because as a baby he never cried or suckled and never opened his eyes. According to legend, as a child he responded to no external stimuli and his parents left him at the feet of the deity of [[Sri Adhinathar]] in [[Alwarthirunagari]]. The child then got up and climbed into a hole in a [[tamarind]], sat in the [[lotus position]], and began to meditate. It appears he was in this state for as long as sixteen years when a [[Tamil people|Tamil]] poet and scholar named [[Madhurakavi Alvar]] was born in Thirukolur (who was elder to him by age) and had travelled to North India on a temple trip. As he was performing his Nityaanushtanam (daily rituals) one day, he saw a bright light shining to the south, and followed it until he reached the tree where the boy was residing. Unable to elicit any reaction from the child, he asked him a riddle: "If the small is born in a dead's body (or stomach), what will it eat and where will it stay?" meaning, if the subtle soul is embodied in the gross body, what are its actions and thoughts? Nammalvar broke his lifelong silence and responded, "That it will eat, it will rest!" meaning that if the soul identifies with the body, it will be the body but if it serves the divine, it will stay in [[Vaikunta|Vaikuntha]] and eat (think) of God.<ref>{{cite book|title=Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Purāṇas| last=Swami |first=Parmeshwaranand|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QxPCBCk3wVIC&q=Encyclopaedic+Dictionary+of+Puranas+%2B+nammalwar&pg=PA908|page=908|publisher=Sarup & Sons|year=2001|isbn=9788176252263}}</ref> [[Madhurakavi Alvar]] realized the divinity of this child.

It is believed that in the Kali Yuga, the doors of Vaikuntham (The abode Of Vishnu) was opened first time for him by [[Narayana]] himself and it is believed that the followers of Swami Nammalvar have the most easy access to the supreme abode. Following his moksha his family entitle as the Subbiah Kumara Pillai by holy Vaishnava acharyas and they serve him and believe him to be Sriman Narayana Tiruvadi. After the passing of Nammalvar, Madhurakavi Alvar composed 10 pasrams called Kanninin Sirutambu. He gave a word that whoever reads this 11,000 times with devotion will get vision and blessings of Nammalvar whenever they visit his abode at Alvarthirunagari.

Nammalvar was one of the twelve [[alvar]] poet-saints who immersed themselves in a love of [[Vishnu]] and who had a considerable knowledge of ancient Tamil literature and its variants of traditional stories concerning Vishnu and his associates, as well as the philosophical differences between [[Buddhism]], [[Hinduism]] and [[Jainism]].<ref name="Carmanp64" />

[[Madhurakavi Alvar]] was his first disciple. Swami Madhurakavi Alvar composed 11 pasurams in praise of his Acharya, Swami Nammalvar known as [[Kanninun Siruthambu]], which are included among the [[Nalayira Divya Prabandham]].

[[File:Swami Nammaazhvar.jpg|thumb|Swami Nammalvar with Madhurakavi Alvar and Nathamunigal]]

==Work==
He contributed four pieces of works to ''[[Divya Prabhandham]]''. These works consisted of 1,296 poems, making him the most prolific contributor to the 4,000 hymns written by the Alvar poet-saints.<ref name="Sadaranganip28" /> These works are:

*''[[Tiruvaymoli]]'' (1102 verses)
*''[[Tiruviruttam]]'' (100 verses)
*''[[Tiruvasiriyam|Tiruvaciriyam]]'' (7 verses)
*''[[Periya Tiruvantati]]'' (87 verses)

''Tiruvaymoli'' describes [[Ranganatha]] as a metaphor for discussing the philosophical details in
*The nature of the ''[[paramatma]]'' (divine soul)
*The nature of the ''[[jeevatma]]'' (living soul)
*The means for the ''[[jeevatma]]'' (living soul) to attain the goal of ''[[Paramatma]]'' (divine soul)
*The blocks and hurdles on the way and
*The goal ''[[moksha]]'' (divinity).

In the Sri Vaishnava canon, these four represent (in Tamil language) the four [[Sanskrit]] vedas, respectively, the [[Sama Veda]], [[Rig Veda]], [[Yajur Veda]] and [[Atharva Veda]]. According to tradition "He poured the cream of these vedas" into his songs and poetry that were the result of deep mystic experience. Though Nammalvar did not visit any of the 108 [[divyadesam]] temples talked about in the Vaishnava religion, it appears from his works he must have had the vision of all the archa forms in the temples he glorified in his hymns.<ref>[[#Das|Das]] 2005, p. 29</ref>

==Style of composition==
The distinction of Nammalvar with his contemporaries is above the devotional aspects in writing, the visualization and dramatic movement. He mentions Vishnu in various aspects frequently in all his verses. The poems of ''Tiruvirrutam'' are depicted fully between the lone context of the hero and heroine. Most of these are utterances of the hero, heroine, her friends to the heroine or her mother to the heroine. The heroine always perceives her hero, Vishnu everywhere around her. As per Varadachari, ''Tiruviruttam'' is "an account of the pilgrimage of the soul to its transcendence over its ignorance, sleep and sloth in which it is caught up in the body". While medieval poetry is considered self-pity and repentance, his works always have a message of hope.<ref name="Das4144">[[#Das|Das]] 2005, pp. 41-44</ref>

==Significance ==
{{Cleanup rewrite|date=September 2022|section=yes}}
Nammalvar is regarded as one of the top three Hindu mystics in India, with the other two being [[Manickavasagar]] and [[Kabir]].<ref>{{cite book|title=A Social History Of Early India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0tX4wzIUY3QC&q=nammazhwar&pg=PA240|page=240|last=Chattopadhyaya|first=Brajadulal |publisher=Pearson Education India|year=2009|isbn=9788131719589|location=Delhi}}</ref> Nammalvar is considered greatest among the twelve alvars and his contributions amount to 1352 among the 4000 stanzas in the ''Nalayira Divya Prabandam''.

The [[Garuda]] Sevai ''utsavam'' (festival) in the month of Vaikasi (May-Jun) witnesses nine [[Garuda]]sevai, an event in which festival image deities from the nava tirupathis temples namely, [[Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, Tirukulandhai|Mayakoothar Temple]], [[Makara Nedunkuzhai Kannan Temple]], [[Irattai Thiruppathy|Rettai Tirupathi - South Temple]], [[Irattai Thiruppathy|Rettai Tirupathi North Temple]], [[Vaithamanidhi Perumal Temple]], [[AlwarThirunagari Temple|Adhinaatha Perumal Temple - Thirukkurugur]], [[ThiruPulingudi Perumal Temple|Kaaisinavendhan Temple]], [[ThiruVaragunamangai Perumal Temple|Vijayaasana Perumal Temple]], [[Srivaikuntanathan Permual Temple|Sri Vaikuntanatha (Kallapiran) Temple]] are brought on [[Garuda]] [[vahana]]. The festival image of Nammalvar is also brought in ''Anna Vahanam'' (palanquin) and his verses dedicated to each of these nine temples are recited. The ''[[utsavar]]'' of deities of each of the nine temples, travel through the paddy fields in the area, reach Alvar Thirunagari. The verses dedicated to each of the nine [[Divyadesam]]s are chanted with music and dance in front of respective utsavar deities. It is the most important of the festivals in this area, and it draws thousands of visitors.After this paasuram recital is completed, the Alvar utsavar in anna vahanam and the nine Perumal deities in Garuda Vahanam come around the maada veethi [temple street] of Alvar Thirunagari. Then, each divyadesam Perumal utsavar bid farewell to their most relished jeevathma Nammalvar and return to their respective temples. Amongst these Perumals, when Alvar most favourite deities of Irattai tirupathi leave after the utsavam, Alvar is saddened by their departure and will wait until they take a turn to their divyadesams. This episode of the Garuda Sevai is known as "Vidaiyaatri Utsavam". The saddened Alvar is taken into the temple by Alvar Thirunagari's deity Polindhu Nindra Piran by showing his beauty. This garuda sevai is to show how Alvar has sung paasurams on each perumal without moving an inch from his Thirupuliyazhwar. All the Perumals come to the Holy Tamarind tree to get sung by the Alvar.<ref>{{cite news|title=Garudasevai|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/10/25/stories/2002102501050700.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030630055238/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/10/25/stories/2002102501050700.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 June 2003|date=25 October 2002|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=2013-07-07}}</ref>

The ''Pagal Pathu'' and ''Ra Pathu'' festivals are celebrated in the month of ''Margazhi'' (December–January) for twenty days in [[Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam]]. The first ten days are referred to as ''Pagal-Pathu'' (10-day daytime festival) and the second half as ''Ra Pathu''(10-day nighttime festival). The first day of ''Ra pathu'' is ''[[Vaikunta Ekadashi]]''. The eleventh day of each fortnight in [[Tamil calendar|the Tamil calendar]] is called ''Ekadasi'' and the holiest of all ''Ekadasi'' in the Vaishnava tradition is the ''[[Vaikunta Ekadashi]]''. Nammalvar, one of the 12 ''alvars'', is believed to have ascended to ''[[vaikuntam|Vaikuntha]]'' (the heavenly abode of Vishnu) on this day. The devotion of the 9th-century poet, Nammalvar, and his perceived ascent to heaven are enacted annually.

== Production ==

=== Development ===
D. Satya Prakash, who had earlier directed a [[Kannada]] short film called ''Jayanagara 4th Block'' got the idea of this plot when he was very impressed with a story between life and death in the [[Bhagavad Gita]]. He, along with his close friends Nagendra H S and Dhananjay Ranjan, started working on the story-line and developed a story around it. However, the script was improvised until the end of the shooting schedule. Hence, Prakash said that the screenplay was never complete. For the character, Nataraj, the person playing the character of a convict who has escaped from the jail trying to escape from death had to do a lot of preparations to go deep into the character. It was not completely decided that the lead character would be played by Nataraj. However, he started preparing for the role by losing weight and looking like a person who has not seen a shelter in months. He worked rigorously for the role. He would wake up by 5 in the morning, run 5 km, eat some almonds, and no salt or spices or sweet was included in his meal. His meal included some vegetables and 2 ''chapatis'' every day. This was his routine for 6 months. For the character he reduced from 76 kilos to 52 kilos. Dharmanna Kadur and Bimbashree Neenasam who played the role of lovers were finalized for the other lead characters later. After this, the team started travelling to various locations in search of locations.

The actor K. Jayaram, who plays the role of Ramanna, the Executioner, died before the movie release. The opening credits of the movie also have a mention of him.

=== Filming ===
The team, which included the Director of Photography, the actors and the Director, travelled over 8000 kilometers searching for locations that were needed for the production.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sandalwoodking.rocks/threads/rama-rama-re-movie-jayaram-nataraj-s-bhat-dir-sathya-prakash.6678/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161020104256/http://www.sandalwoodking.rocks/threads/rama-rama-re-movie-jayaram-nataraj-s-bhat-dir-sathya-prakash.6678/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=20 October 2016 |title=Rama Rama Re Movie — Jayaram, Nataraj S Bhat — Dir: Sathya Prakash | Shivu aDDa — Kannada Movies Discussion Forum |website=Sandalwoodking.rocks |date= |accessdate=2016-10-19}}</ref> Finally, the team decided to shoot near Bijapur region and filmed the movie for 40 days. For the first song in the movie, there was a need to shoot various landscapes like mountains, valleys, grassland/meadows/fields, Forts, Waterfalls, and Beaches. The team traveled over 2,500 km for 20 days and has selected some of the best locations in Karnataka. Since the jeep is one of the important characters, the team purchased an old jeep and altered it as per the requirement. Art Director Varadraj Kamath designed the jeep to fit in all the necessary props and production items inside the Jeep. While 90% of the movie was shot on the road near a village near the town of Vijapura(Bijapur), the rest portion was shot in studios in Bangalore.

== Music ==
The original soundtrack and background score were composed by Nobin Paul & Songs were composed by Vasuki Vaibhav and all the lyrics have been penned by Satya Prakash. The soundtrack album was released on 2 September 2016.

'''''San Juanv''''' or '''''São João''''' is an annual [[Catholic]] religious festival celebrated on 24 June in [[Goa]], [[India]]. According to tradition, after attending [[Mass in the Catholic Church|Mass]], young [[Goan Catholics]] leap into and swim in local wells, streams, and ponds as a tribute to Saint [[John the Baptist]].

==Background==
{{main|Nativity of Saint John the Baptist|Baptism of Jesus}}
The feast of ''São João'' is a celebration of the [[Nativity of Saint John the Baptist|birth anniversary of Saint John the Baptist]]. Saint John was the son of [[Elizabeth (biblical figure)|Saint Elizabeth]], a relative of [[Mary, mother of Jesus]]. One day, when Mary visited Elizabeth, the baby Saint John 'leapt' in her womb upon hearing Mary's greeting ({{Bibleverse|Luke|1:44}})<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ewtn.com/saintsHoly/saints/B/birthofstjohnthebaptist.asp|title=Butler, Alban. ''Lives of the Saints''|access-date=25 June 2019|archive-date=25 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171225060448/http://ewtn.com/saintsHoly/saints/B/birthofstjohnthebaptist.asp|url-status=live}}</ref> When Jesus was thirty years old, he was baptised by Saint John in the [[Jordan River]].

The Nativity of John the Baptist is known to be one of the oldest festivals of the Christian church, and records show that it was celebrated as a big feast in 506 AD.<ref name=datehistory| >{{cite web|author=Fr. Weiser |title= Feasts of Saint John the Baptist|work= Catholic Culture: Liturgical Year |publisher=Catholic Culture |date= |accessdate=2008-10-02|url=http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/activities/view.cfm?id=1125}}</ref>

The feast of ''São João'' in Goa coincides with the time of the year when the monsoon in Goa has usually commenced, there are fresh greenery and flowers in the surroundings, and wells and other water bodies are full. Consequently, the celebration of the birth of Saint John in Goa apparently evolved to incorporate elements of celebration of the rainy season. Jumping in wells and ponds is symbolic of the baby Saint John leaping in the womb, and of the [[baptism of Jesus]] in the river Jordan.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.goatourism.gov.in/festivals/christian-festivals/201-sao-joao |title=Department of Tourism, Government of Goa, India - SAO JOAO |website=www.goatourism.gov.in |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512120224/http://goatourism.gov.in/festivals/christian-festivals/201-sao-joao |archive-date=2012-05-12}}</ref>

== Observance and traditions ==

While the feast of ''São João'' is celebrated across the [[Catholic]] world on the same day, [[Goa]] is the only place<ref name="Mridula">{{Cite news|url=https://scroll.in/article/668612/goas-feast-of-sao-joao-has-wild-flowers-feni-and-jumping-into-wells|title=Goa's feast of São João has wild flowers, feni – and jumping into wells|last=Chari|first=Mridula|work=Scroll.in|access-date=2018-06-25|language=en-US|archive-date=25 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240625122025/https://scroll.in/article/668612/goas-feast-of-sao-joao-has-wild-flowers-feni-and-jumping-into-wells|url-status=live}}</ref> in the world where it is marked by leaping into wells. On this day, groups of people go around singing traditional songs accompanied with instruments like ''[[ghumot]]'', ''[[mhadalem]]'', and ''[[kansallem]]''.<ref name="AndradeHeraldoJune24" />

People wear ''kopels'' ({{Translation|crowns}}) made of flowers and a creeper known locally as ''sanjuachi vaal'' ({{Translation|creeper of São João}}). The creeper is found growing in wells during the early monsoons. It also has small red flowers that add to the beauty of the ''kopel''. Some believe that the creeper was worn by Saint John himself.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Colaco |first=Kimberly |date=2020-06-24 |title=Sanjuachi Vaal, an important aspect in the copel worn by people for Sao Joao in Goa |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/events/goa/sanjuachi-vaal-an-important-aspect-in-the-copel-worn-by-people-for-sao-joao-in-goa/articleshow/76543665.cms |access-date=2024-06-25 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

Men also wear other adornments and vestments made from plant and other natural substances probably also a nod to the fact that Saint John wore natural coverings instead of clothing made of fabric.<ref name="AndradeHeraldoJune24" />

While the general perception is that the festival is only celebrated by jumping into wells, Catholics also pray on this occasion for a good monsoon.<ref name="Mridula" /> In recent times, the festival has gained popularity among tourists.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/article/sao-joao-in-goa-here-s-why-goans-joyfully-jump-into-wells-on-this-day-see-pics-monsoon-festival-saint-john-the-baptist-christianity-siolim-north-goa/245012|title=Goa celebrates Sao Joao today: Here's why Goans joyfully jump into wells on this day - See pics|access-date=2018-06-25|language=en-GB|archive-date=25 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240625122035/https://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/article/sao-joao-in-goa-here-s-why-goans-joyfully-jump-into-wells-on-this-day-see-pics-monsoon-festival-saint-john-the-baptist-christianity-siolim-north-goa/245012|url-status=live}}</ref> The festival has also been commercialized, with pool parties and resort celebrations included as part of celebrations.<ref name="AndradeHeraldoJune24" />

[[File:São João boat festival in Siolim, Goa in 2024.jpg|thumb|São João boat festival in Siolim in 2024]]
While the ''São João'' celebrations are "centuries old", a more recent tradition is followed in the village of [[Siolim]], in [[Bardez]] taluka, featuring colourful floats on boats. These festivities date back 175 years, when ''São João'' revellers from Chapora and Zhor villages of Anjuna, Badem in Assagao, and Siolim would come in boats to the chapel of ''São João'' in Pereira Vaddo, Siolim, every year, to pay homage to the saint.<ref name="Mridula" />

[[File:Villagers at Saligao, Goa, serve food to all present during the Sao Joao (Vangodd de Saligao) festival in Goa.jpg|thumb|Villagers at Saligao, Goa, serve food to all present during the ''São João'' (''Vangodd de Saligao'') festival in Goa]]

In the village of [[Saligao]], also in the [[Bardez]] taluka, the event is celebrated as the ''Vangodd de Saligao'', a village festival of music, dance and with the villagers often cooking enough food to feed all the visitors free of cost.

''São João'' is also a celebration of thanksgiving for newly-weds, and for families with babies born during the preceding year. It is thus referred to as ''Zanvoiamchem fest'' ({{Translation|son-in-law's feast}}) locally. The newly married son-in-law is invited for lunch by his mother-in-law, following which the son-in-law is warmly welcomed with the bursting of firecrackers. Family members then sing the litany of all saints in Latin, followed by hymns dedicated to honour Saint John the Baptist, the Virgin Mary and other saints. As part of the celebratory lunch, dishes such as ''sanna'' (a steamed rice cake fermented with coconut palm toddy), ''verdur'' (pumpkin cooked in [[coconut milk]], along with spices and shrimps) and pork [[vindaloo]] are prepared. Dessert includes ''patollyo'' (a dumpling stuffed with grated coconut and palm [[jaggery]] that is wrapped in fresh [[turmeric]] leaves). Following the meal, the family welcomes the village youth, who sing songs dedicated to Saint John and announce their arrival by hitting stumps of coconut palm on the ground. Later, in the evening, the son-in-law returns to his home with an ''ojem'' ({{Translation|bamboo basket with gifts}}) gifted to him by his mother-in-law. This ''ojem'' is filled with fruits and sweets. Upon reaching his home, he places the ''ojem'' at the oratory of his house, following which everyone recites a short prayer and then distributes the contents of the ''ojem'' among his fellow villagers. This is meant to signify that a marriage is not just between two families but between two villages.<ref name="AndradeHeraldoJune24">{{Cite web |first=Frazer |last=Andrade |title=Diving into tradition: Exploring Goan São João celebrations |url=https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/Diving-into-tradition-Exploring-Goan-S%C3%A3o-Jo%C3%A3o-celebrations-/222770 |date=2024-06-24 |access-date=2024-06-24 |website=oHeraldo |archive-date=25 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240625121951/https://www.heraldgoa.in/Cafe/Diving-into-tradition-Exploring-Goan-S%C3%A3o-Jo%C3%A3o-celebrations-/222770 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Traditionally, only male villagers would go around the village singing songs dedicated to Saint John. Announcing their arrival by hitting stumps of coconut palm on the ground, they would visit all the families in the village. They would wear colourful ''kopels'' and play traditional musical instruments like the ''ghumot'' and ''kansallem''. People would thank them for visiting their houses by offering the boys alcohol, ''sannas'', ''patollyo'' and an assortment of fruits. At the end, the boys would assemble at the village cross and pray the litany honouring Saint John. The gifts that were offered by the families were then distributed among all the men. Following this, the men would jump into wells or lakes, despite the practice being discouraged by the [[Catholic Church]].<ref name="AndradeHeraldoJune24" />

Another tradition involves creating [[effigies]] of [[Judas]] or the [[Devil]] using dry materials like hay and paper and decorated using dry [[jackfruit]] or mango leaves. The effigy is carried by young boys to every house in the village and ultimately burnt to ashes outside the village cross or chapel.<ref name="AndradeHeraldoJune24" />

== ''São João'' in Mumbai ==
Over the years, the feast in Mumbai has evolved from a neighborhood community festival to a citywide carnival, with events hosted from Marine lines to Manori, open to people within and outside the Catholic fold. Water is central to ''São João'' celebrations. In Mumbai and Thane, wells, ponds and tanks stand in for the river, with community members leaping into the wells. If a water body is not available, tankers are summoned and sprinklers are set up.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2025-06-23 |title=Mumbai takes a leap of faith: Festival of San Joao makes a splash in city |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/mumbai-takes-a-leap-of-faith-festival-of-san-joao-makes-a-splash-in-city/articleshow/121980263.cms |access-date=2025-06-24 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

'''Kesab Chandra Gogoi''' (29 September 1926 – 5 August 1998) was an Indian politician and lawyer who served as the 9th [[Chief Minister of Assam]] from January to March 1982. He was the Member of [[Assam Legislative Assembly]] (MLA) for [[Dibrugarh]] from 1978 to 1996. Gogoi held various ministerial positions under numerous Chief Ministers between 1978 and 1991, most prominently serving as [[Finance minister]] under three different governments.

Born into a family of [[Ahom people|Tai-Ahom]], Gogoi married [[Shanti Gogoi|Shanti Borgohain]] in 1951. Shanti was the daughter of [[Jogesh Chandra Borgohain]], an [[Member of the Legislative Council (India)|MLC]] in the 1930s, and of [[Padma Kumari Gohain]], the first [[Post-independence History of India|post-independence]] female [[cabinet minister]] in [[Assam]]. Kesab and Shanti Gogoi had five children, including their eldest son [[Anjan Gogoi|Anjan]] who became an [[Air marshal (India)|Air Marshal]] in the [[Indian Air Force]], and their second son, [[Ranjan Gogoi]], who became the 46th [[Chief Justice of India]] and a [[Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha|Member of the Rajya Sabha]]. Kesab Gogoi was an [[advocate]] at [[Gauhati High Court]] and a practitioner in [[Dibrugarh district|Dibrugarh]] district court, as well as being a social worker before his entry to politics.

Gogoi was elected the [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] for [[Dibrugarh (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Dibrugarh]] for the [[Janata Party]] in [[1978 Assam Legislative Assembly election|1978]]. He became the [[Borbora ministry|finance minister]] under [[Golap Borbora]] in March 1978 before he was dismissed from the position in a July 1979 reshuffle. He returned to the government in September of the same year, [[Hazarika ministry|as finance minister]], under [[Jogendra Nath Hazarika]]. In 1980, he defected to the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) where he then returned as [[Taimur ministry|finance minister]] under [[Anwara Taimur]] until [[President's rule]] was imposed in June 1981. Gogoi was appointed Chief Minister of Assam on 13 January 1982 ending the President's rule that had existed since the dissolution of the Taimur ministry. During his tenure, he furthered implementation of National Rural Employment Scheme and emphasised the 20-point programme launched by [[Indira Gandhi]]. Gogoi later resigned amid a [[motion of no confidence]] vote in March, having served for 66 days.

After being reelected for Dibrugarh in the [[1983 Assam Legislative Assembly election]], Gogoi returned to government as the [[First Saikia ministry|Revenues and Industries Minister]] under [[Hiteswar Saikia]]. He was later appointed Minister for the Public Works Department (PWD), serving until the defeat of the INC in the [[1985 Assam Legislative Assembly election|1985 election]]. He was reelected for Dibrugarh in the [[1991 Assam Legislative Assembly election|1991 election]], and subsequently was appointed Minister for Planning and Development in the [[Second Saikia ministry|Second Saikia Ministry]]. Gogoi was appointed Minister for Public Enterprises in October 1991 before being dismissed the following month for alleged anti-party activities. He was expelled from the INC in 1995, and was instead nominated as the [[All India Indira Congress (Tiwari)|All India Indira Congress (tiwari)]] for Dibrugarh in the [[1996 Assam Legislative Assembly election|1996 election]] but was defeated by the INC candidate. Gogoi's eighteen-year long political career ended in the year 1996, and he died at the age of 72 in 1998.

=== Chief Ministership (1982) ===
{{Main|Kesab Chandra Gogoi Ministry}}
[[List of presidents of India|President]] [[Neelam Sanjiva Reddy|N Sanjiva Reddy]] issued a proclamation revoking [[President's rule]] imposed on Assam on 30 June 1981, and extending for another term of six months. The [[President's rule]] was imposed when the government of [[Anwara Taimur]] failed to get the Assam appropriation bill passed by the assembly.

Earlier, the Taimur camp had encouraged [[Hiteswar Saikia|Saikia]] to contest Gogoi's claim but an opinion poll before the final selection showed there were only 8 backers of [[Hiteswar Saikia|Saikia]] among the 35 partymen assembled while 24 supported Gogoi and 3 remained neutral.<ref name=":2" />

Gogoi told the press a day before his swearing-in that he had backing of 63 out of 125 members of the [[Assam Legislative Assembly|Assembly]]. Minutes after it was known that the [[List of governors of Assam|Governor]], [[Prakash Mehrotra]], had accepted Gogoi's claim, Gogoi was sworn in a ceremony at Raj Bhavan.<ref name=":3" /> Gogoi said that he was giving top priority to the solution of the foreigners issue and the maintenance of law and order. Gogoi allocated himself the ministries of home, administration reforms, public relations, khadi and village industries, rural development, public works, tourism and all other departments not allocated.<ref name=":2" />

During his tenure, he gave more emphasis on the implementation of National Rural Employment Scheme. He also emphasised the 20 point programmes launched by [[Indira Gandhi]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Gogoi ministry |url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/50847/10/10_chapter%201.pdf |publisher=shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/ |accessdate=5 November 2018}}</ref>

On 17 March 1982 a [[Motion of no confidence|Motion of No Confidence]] was moved against the 65-day-old [[Kesab Chandra Gogoi Ministry|ministry of Gogoi]]. The motion was moved against Gogoi jointly by [[Sarat Chandra Singha]], [[Golap Borbora]], Hemen Das, [[Promode Gogoi]], Zainal Abedin, Premadhar Bora and Romesh Mohan Kouli. The [[Sheikh Chand Mohammad|speaker]] admitted the motion and fixed the discussion for 18 March 1982. However, the [[Sheikh Chand Mohammad|speaker]] adjourned the house ''[[Adjournment sine die|sine die]]'' after he received a message stating that Gogoi tendered in his resignation to the [[Prakash Mehrotra|Governor]]. On 19 March, the [[President of India|President]] [[Neelam Sanjiva Reddy|Sanjiva Reddy]] then issued a proclamation which dissolved the [[Assam Legislative Assembly|legislative assembly]] and brought the state under [[President's rule]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Malhotra |first=G.

'''''The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism''''' is a book on the [[sociology of religion]] written by [[Max Weber]], a German [[economist]] and [[sociologist]] of the early twentieth century. The original edition was in German under the title '''''Hinduismus und Buddhismus''''' and published in 1916.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://studysites.sagepub.com/mcdonaldizationstudy5/references.htm|title=General References|website=studysites.sagepub.com}}</ref> An English translation was made in 1958 and several editions have been released since then.

It was his third major work on the sociology of religion, after ''[[The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism]]'' (1905) and ''[[The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism]]'' (1915). In this work he deals with the structure of Indian [[society]], with the [[orthodoxy|orthodox]] [[doctrine]]s of [[Hinduism]] and the [[heterodoxy|heterodox]] doctrines of [[Buddhism]], with the changes wrought by popular [[religiosity]] and their influence on the [[secular]] [[ethic]] of Indian society.<ref name=rb142>Reinhard Bendix, ''Max Weber: an intellectual portrait'', University of California Press, 1977, p.142</ref>

==The Hindu social system==

The Indian social system was influenced by the concept of [[Varna (Hinduism)|varna]].<ref name=rb142/> It directly linked religious belief and the segregation of society into [[status group]]s. Weber goes on to describe the Varna system (the [[Brahmin]]s – priests, the [[Kshatriya]]s – warriors, the [[Vaishya]]s – merchants, the [[Shudra]]s – laborers and the [[Dalit|Untouchable]]).

Weber pays special attention to Brahmins and considers why they occupied the highest place in Indian society for many centuries. With regards to the concept of [[dharma]] he concludes that the Indian ethical pluralism is very different both from the universal ethic of [[Confucianism]] and [[Christianity]]. He notes that the varna system prevented the development of urban status groups.<ref name=rb147-148>Reinhard Bendix, ''Max Weber: an intellectual portrait'', University of California Press, 1977, p.147-148</ref>

==Hindu orthodoxy and Brahmin restoration==

After the structure of the society, Weber analysed the Hindu religious beliefs – [[asceticism]] and the Hindu view of the world, the Brahman orthodox doctrines, the rise and fall of Buddhism in India, the Hindu restoration and the evolution of [[guru]].

==Secular ethic and impact of Hindu beliefs on economy==

Weber discussed what influence Hinduism and Buddhism had on the mundane activities, and how they impacted the economy. He noted the idea of unchanging world order consisting of the eternal [[rebirth (Buddhism)|cycle]]s of [[Rebirth (Buddhism)|rebirth]], and the deprecation of mundane world.<ref name=rb193>Reinhard Bendix, ''Max Weber: an intellectual portrait'', University of California Press, 1977, p.193</ref> By the [[tradition]]alism of the Varna system supported by the dharma, the economic development is slowed as, – according to Weber – the "spirit" of the varna system worked against the development of [[capitalism]].<ref name=rb196>Reinhard Bendix, ''Max Weber: an intellectual portrait'', University of California Press, 1977, p.196</ref>

==Asian belief system==

Weber ended his research of society and religion in India by bringing in insights from [[The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism|his previous work on China]] to discuss similarities of the Asian belief systems. He notes that the beliefs saw the meaning of life as otherworldy [[Mysticism|mystical]] experience. The social world is fundamentally divided between the educated elite, following the guidance of a [[prophet]] or wise man, and the uneducated masses whose beliefs are centered on [[magic (paranormal)|magic]]. In Asia, there was no [[Messianic prophecy]] to ''plan and meaning to the everyday life of educated and uneducated alike''. Weber juxtaposed such Messianic prophecies, notably from the [[Near East]] region to those found on the [[Asia]]tic mainland, focusing more on exemplary ways to live one's life. It was those differences that prevented the countries of the [[Western world|Occident]] from following the paths of the earlier Chinese and Indian civilizations. His next work, [[Ancient Judaism (book)|Ancient Judaism]] was an attempt to prove this theory.<ref name=rb199-201>Reinhard Bendix, ''Max Weber: an intellectual portrait'', University of California Press, 1977, p.199-201</ref>

== Reception ==
=== Critical response ===

A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Ravichandran, though impressive, donnes an awkward look with his silly make-up and dark glasses. Only Naveen Krishna's performance holds up, while Rekha Das does a brilliant job in balancing sequences in the average cinematography by Vishnuvardhan".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/naariya-seere-kadda/movie-review/7009019.cms?from=mdr|title=NAARIYA SEERE KADDA MOVIE REVIEW|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=14 May 2016}}</ref> BSS from [[Deccan Herald]] wrote "The director makes a hash of a ready-made, worn out story. Ravichandran, the entertainer-actor, is lost in hideous wigs, stubble and pot-belly; a makeover is long overdue. He owes his fans at least that much. Nikhitha goes through the motions, while Naveen, Harshika, Shivaram, Shobhraj and Arvind are all wasted.

'''''Indrajith''''' is a 2017 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[Action-adventure film|action adventure]] [[Thriller film|thriller]] film directed by Kalaprabhu and produced by his father [[S. Thanu|Kalaipuli S. Thanu]]. The film features [[Gautham Karthik]] and [[Ashrita Shetty]] in the lead roles, while [[Sonarika Bhadoria]], [[Sudhanshu Pandey]], [[Sachin Khedekar]], [[Nagendra Babu]], and [[M. S. Bhaskar]] play supporting roles. The film received mostly negative reviews and was a flop at the box office.

==Plot ==
Mayilvaganam, a retired archeological professor, is in search of a mystical stone mentioned in the holy books, which can cure dreaded diseases like cancer. In his hunt for the stone, he forms a team of youngsters, including Indrajith, a happy-go-lucky guy and adventure junkie. Whilst the team has a well-laid out map, they are up against Kapil Sharma, the head of the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] and an old foe of Mayilvaganam. Later, when Indrajith gets the stone, he realizes that Mayilvaganam is evil and not Sharma, so he gives the stone to Kapil. Mayilvaganam is jailed, and Sharma decides to share the stone with other countries as well to cure diseases on Indrajith's advice. Indrajith says," Let's share", and they all laugh.

==Production==
The collaboration between actor and director was first reported in October 2013, with Kalaprabhu revealing that his second venture after ''[[Sakkarakatti]]'' (2008), would be an action-adventure film produced by his father. [[Gautham Karthik]] was signed to play the title role, while actresses [[Ashrita Shetty]] and [[Sonarika Bhadoria]] were selected to play female leading roles.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-10-21 |title=Gautham Karthik to team up with Kala Prabhu |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/tamil/news-interviews/Gautham-Karthik-to-team-up-with-Kala-Prabhu/articleshow/24443378.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131024025437/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-10-21/news-interviews/43249287_1_signing-spree-sippai-film |archive-date=2013-10-24 |access-date=2014-02-17 |website=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> [[Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy]] were initially announced as the film's music composers, but delays later meant that newcomer KP was selected to compose the film's soundtrack and score.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy score for Indrajith |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy-score-for-Indrajith/articleshow/29009205.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727004312/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy-score-for-Indrajith/articleshow/29009205.cms |archive-date=27 July 2018 |access-date=24 March 2020 |website=The Times of India}}</ref> A first look poster for the film was revealed in January 2014, stating that production was in progress. The team announced that schedules were set to take place in [[Chennai]], [[Arunachal Pradesh]] and then [[Goa]], while also revealing that the title was a reference to the character [[Indrajit]]h from the Indian epic [[Ramayana]]. It was later revealed that the film would be along the lines of the [[Indiana Jones]] films, with Gautham Karthik and Sonarika featuring in a group of fortune seekers, also including [[Sudanshu Pandey]] and theatre actor Amit.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 April 2014 |title=Etcetera: Roles of substance |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-columns/etcetera-roles-of-substance/article5904948.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413141841/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-columns/etcetera-roles-of-substance/article5904948.ece |archive-date=13 April 2014 |access-date=12 April 2014 |website=The Hindu}}</ref>

The '''[[Australian cricket team]]''' toured [[Indian national cricket team|India]] from February to April 2001 for a three-[[Test cricket|Test]] series and a five-match [[One-Day International|ODI]] series. The series is considered one of India's finest, as they secured victory against Australia in the Test series, in the process breaking Australia's 16-match win streak in Tests, and being the third side to win a Test match after being asked to follow-on during the match in [[Kolkata]]. The Kolkata match has been widely regarded as one of the greatest matches in the sport's history.

== Background ==
The [[Indian cricket team]] at the time was depleted, without leading [[leg spin]]ner [[Anil Kumble]]. On the spinning tracks of India, this left them at a disadvantage, with the other spinners who had filled the void during the earlier part of the season being [[Sunil Joshi]], [[Sarandeep Singh]] and [[Murali Kartik]], all having played fewer than 10 Tests each.<ref>{{cite web| title =India in Bangladesh, 2000/01 Test Match Averages | url=http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2000-01/IND_IN_BDESH/IND_IN_BDESH_NOV2000_TEST_AVS.html| publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2007-02-28}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title = Zimbabwe in India, 2000/01 Test Series Averages| url=http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2000-01/ZIM_IN_IND/STATS/ZIM_IN_IND_NOV-DEC2000_TEST_AVS.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2007-02-28}}</ref>

[[Harbhajan Singh]], whose previous best Test figures were only 3/30, was entrusted with a heavy burden, having been recalled at the behest of captain [[Sourav Ganguly]] after previous instances of indiscipline. He was to lead the spin attack against an Australian team which had set a world record with 16 consecutive Test victories, and was searching for its first series victory on Indian soil [[Australian cricket team in Ceylon and India in 1969-70|since 1969]].<ref name="Bose"/> In the first Test, his spinning partner was [[Rahul Sanghvi]], a debutant.

The start of the First Test in [[Mumbai]] was overshadowed by the death of [[Sir Donald Bradman]], universally regarded as the greatest batsman in cricket history. After a minute's silence, Australian captain [[Steve Waugh]] won the toss and elected to field on a pitch offering assistance to the bowling team. Ganguly stated that he would have done likewise. The Australian fast bowlers quickly removed India's top order, with both openers and [[Rahul Dravid]] removed in the first hour's play with only 31 runs scored. After Ganguly was removed with the score on 55, the Indians progressed to be 4/62 at lunch.<ref name="t1"/> [[Sachin Tendulkar]] lead a counterattack in the hour after lunch, scoring 53 runs in 53 balls to take the score to 4/130 before [[V. V. S. Laxman]] was removed. The innings lost momentum when Tendulkar was dismissed for 76, leaving the score at 6/139. India were eventually bowled out in the final session for 176. [[Shane Warne]] took 4/47 while [[Glenn McGrath]] managed 3/19. In reply, Australia reached 1/49 at stumps, losing [[Michael Slater]].<ref name="t1"/>

Australia made steady progress on the second day to reach 1/71, when Harbhajan dismissed [[Justin Langer]]. [[Mark Waugh]], the new batsman, was dismissed for a [[duck (cricket)|golden duck]] after Ganguly took a one-handed close-range diving catch from the next delivery. Sanghvi dismissed Steve Waugh, and Harbhajan removed [[Ricky Ponting]] for a duck in the following over to reduce Australia to 5/99 after the first-hour play, with Harbhajan taking a spell of 3/8. Australian wicketkeeper [[Adam Gilchrist]] joined opener [[Matthew Hayden]] at the crease, who had just reached 50. After the break, Gilchrist led a counterattack, scoring 36 from 39 balls, and Australia reached lunch at 5/170, scoring 71 runs in the second hour. The batting pace increased after lunch, with Gilchrist moving from 50 to 100 in just 29 balls. 96 runs were added in the hour after lunch and after the 197-[[run (cricket)|run]] [[partnership (cricket)|partnership]] ended in 32 [[over (cricket)|overs]], Gilchrist and Hayden had scored 122 and 119 respectively. Australia reached 8/329 at tea, compiling 158 runs in the session. A run a ball cameo of 39 from Warne allowed Australia to reach 349, a lead of 173. Harbhajan ended with 4/121.<ref name="t1"/><ref>{{cite news| title=Australia in command| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/in_depth/2001/india_v_australia/11193770.stm| publisher=[[BBC]] | date=2001-02-28| access-date=2007-03-02}}{{dead link|date=September 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> India's top order fared better in the second innings, managing to compile 58 before both openers were lost. they suffered a last scare when wicket-keeper [[Nayan Mongia]], sent in as a [[Nightwatchman (cricket)|nightwatchman]] was forced to [[retire hurt]] after suffering a finger injury, forcing Tendulkar to face the final over of the second day.<ref name="t1"/>

India resumed on the third day 115 runs behind, with Tendulkar yet to score and [[Rahul Dravid]] having made only six runs from 41 deliveries. They made slow progress, with Dravid taking 41 deliveries to move from six to seven runs. Only 19 runs were scored in the first hour. A further 39 were scored in the second hour before lunch as India concentrated on preserving wickets. Tendulkar counterattacked again after lunch as he did on the first day, with India accumulating 34 runs in seven overs. This ended when a pull shot by Tendulkar from a Mark Waugh long hop hit Langer in the back, who had taken evasive action from his close catching position, and rebounded in the air to be caught by Ponting for 65. After Ganguly was [[run out]] for 1, Laxman and Dravid departed in consecutive overs, leaving India at 6/174. Dravid had occupied the crease for 196 balls in compiling 39 runs. The tail was eventually dismissed for 219, with only Mongia's 29 the only other resistance. Tendulkar was the only Indian to pass 50 in the match, and the batting display was epitomised by injured fast bowler [[Javagal Srinath]], who attempted to bat with only one hand and was dismissed without scoring. The other notable event in the Indian innings was a mistimed pull shot from Dravid, which saw an attempted diving catch by Slater. Slater claimed the catch, but Dravid and umpire [[Srinivas Venkataraghavan]] disagreed. Slater angrily confronted both men with lengthy verbal outbursts.<ref name="t1"/> Australia recorded the 47 runs required for victory without losing a wicket in just seven overs, winning their 16th consecutive Test victory. Ganguly was booed off the ground, and Steve Waugh hailed an "outstanding team performance" by Australia. Gilchrist was named man of the match with 122 and six catches.<ref name="Bose">{{cite book|first= Mihir| last=Bose| title= A History of Indian cricket| year = 2002 |publisher=André Deutsch |pages = 472–473| isbn =0-233-05040-X}}</ref><ref name="t1">{{cite web| title =1st Test: India v Australia at Mumbai, 27 Feb-3 Mar 2001 Ball-by-Ball commentary |url= http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2000-01/AUS_IN_IND/SCORECARDS/AUS_IND_T1_27FEB-03MAR2001_BBB-COMMS.html |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date = 2007-02-28}}</ref><ref name="t3d5">{{cite news| title=India triumph in tense finish| url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/in_depth/2001/india_v_australia/1235045.stm| publisher=[[BBC]] | date=2001-03-22| access-date=2007-03-02}}</ref>

India batted poorly, although Laxman scored 59, and were all out for 171, trailing by 274 runs.

Australia enforced the [[follow-on]], and India seemed to be all but out of the match, and the series, after McGrath got Ganguly out on 48, with India at 232/4. But then came an epic 376-run partnership between [[V. V. S. Laxman]] and [[Rahul Dravid]]. The duo batted together for an entire day, Laxman scoring 281 and Dravid scoring 180.

Australia appeared to be safely batting out the match for a draw, until losing 7/56 in the final session, collapsing from 166/3 to be bowled out for 212.

The teams arrived in [[Chennai]] for the deciding Third Test, and Australia's batsmen again seized control after winning the toss, reaching 340/3 on the second morning.

{{Jammu-Baramulla line}}
The '''Chenab Rail Bridge''' is a [[railway bridge]] over the [[Chenab River]] in [[Reasi district]] of the [[union territory]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] in India. It is a steel and concrete bridge spanning {{cvt|1315|m}} across the river [[gorge]]. The structure consists of an approach bridge which is {{cvt|530|m}} long and a {{cvt|785|m}}-long [[deck arch bridge]]. With a deck height of {{cvt|359|m}} from the river bed, the arch bridge is the [[List of highest bridges in the world|highest rail bridge]] in the world. It is located between Kauri and [[Bakkal railway station|Bakkal]] rail stations on the [[Jammu–Baramulla line]].

The Jammu–Baramulla railway project was initiated with the laying of its foundation stone in 1983, but construction commenced only in the mid-1990s after funds were allocated. The project progressed in phases: the [[Jammu Tawi railway station|Jammu]]–[[Udhampur railway station|Udhampur]] section opened in April 2005, and the Udhampur–[[Katra railway station|Katra]] section opened in July 2014, with the line set to extend beyond Srinagar to connect with the [[Baramulla railway station|Baramulla]]–[[Banihal railway station|Banihal]] section that was completed between 2008 and 2013.

The bridge was constructed at a cost of {{INRconvert|14.86|b}}. The project was overseen by [[Konkan Railway Corporation]] of the [[Indian Railways]]. The construction work started in 2017, and the base supports were completed in November 2017 with the arch constructed by April 2021. The bridge was fully completed in August 2022, and the first trial runs were conducted in June 2024. The bridge was opened for rail traffic on 6 June 2025 by [[Prime Minister of India|prime minister]] [[Narendra Modi]].

== Background and planning ==
In the late 1970s, the [[Government of India]] planned to establish a railway line to connect [[Jammu division|Jammu]] with the [[Kashmir Valley]]. The line would connect Kashmir with the rest of the [[Rail transport in India|Indian railway network]] and aid in the economic activity of the region.<ref name="RT">{{cite web|url=https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/chenab-bridge-jammu-kashmir/?cf-view|title=Chenab Bridge|work=Railway technology|access-date=1 June 2024}}</ref><ref name="Marvel">{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/good-news/2024/Jun/23/a-marvel-in-steel|title=A marvel in steel|date=23 June 2024|access-date=1 July 2024|work=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref><ref name="DNA">{{cite news|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/viral/report-udhampur-srinagar-baramulla-rail-link-update-final-track-work-completed-vande-bharat-to-begin-in-3122482|title=Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail link update|date=15 December 2024|access-date=1 January 2025|newspaper=[[Daily News and Analysis]]}}</ref> It would also serve as a strategic link to the Kashmir region all round the year as the [[Jammu–Srinagar National Highway|road link]] between Jammu and Kashmir region is often cut off by [[snowfall]] during winters.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/jammusrinagar-national-highway-reopens-after-nearly-a-fortnight-101757531838202.html|title=Jammu-Srinagar national highway reopens after nearly a fortnight|date=9 September 2025|access-date=10 September 2025|newspaper=[[The Hindustan Times]]}}</ref><ref name="BBC">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3w71mkxwo|title=A new Kashmir rail bridge that could be a game-changer for India|date=15 August 2024|access-date=1 September 2024|work=[[BBC News]]|archive-date=25 August 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240825170637/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3w71mkxwo|url-status=live}}</ref> Though the foundation stone for the [[Jammu-Baramulla line|Jammu-Baramulla railway]] project was laid in 1983, constructed started only when the funds were allocated only in the mid 1990s.<ref name="HT">{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/tracking-jammu-and-kashmir-s-rail-history/story-wDdzKH2WXmqf5uUSXDz9BL.html|title=Tracking Jammu and Kashmir rail history|date=28 October 2009|access-date=1 June 2024|work=[[The Hindustan Times]]}}</ref><ref name="DE">{{cite web|url=https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/history-of-railways-in-jk/|title=History of Railways in J&K|work=Daily Excelsior|date=6 October 2019|access-date=1 June 2024}}</ref><ref name="ET">{{cite web|url=https://www.earlytimes.in/newsdet.aspx?q=166884|title=History of Railways in Jammu & Kashmir|date=1 January 2016|access-date=1 June 2024|work=Early Times}}</ref>

'''Tarini Khuro''' is a fictional character created by [[Satyajit Ray]].<ref name="Tarini Khuro’s screen saga">{{cite news|title=Tarini Khuro's screen saga|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-07/news-interviews/32100093_1_ghost-stories-sandip-ray-film|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103204432/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-07/news-interviews/32100093_1_ghost-stories-sandip-ray-film|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 January 2013|accessdate=24 June 2012|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=7 June 2012}}</ref> Literally it means ''respected uncle Tarini''. ''Khuro'' in old colloquial [[Bengali language|Bengali]] means paternal uncle. The full name of Tarini Khuro is '''Tarini Charan Bandopadhyay'''. Tarini khuro's adventure stories have a touch of supernatural forces in them. Ray's earlier creations were [[Feluda]] and [[Professor Shonku]]. This character is central to about fifteen stories written by Ray.

==Character==
Tarini khuro is an aged bachelor living Beniatolla Lane, at College Street in [[Kolkata]] (or what was then Calcutta). He first lived in [[Dhaka]] from there he was known to the father of the story-teller (Paltu). His full name is Tarini Charan Banerjee (Bengali: তারিণীচরণ ব্যানার্জী). He is a very efficient story-teller. He tells stories supposedly based on his long professional life. The audience is a bunch of 5 young guys.

The range of the stories are varied — from [[ghost]] stories (many of which are not [[Horror fiction|horror]] stories though) to [[comedy]] stories. Most of the stories portray the quick wit of Tarini khuro in the face of imminent problems/dangers whereas some stories depict how Tarini khuro had some close shaves by the stroke of luck. Tarini khuro has worked fifty six different trades, both business and service trades, in thirty-three cities all over India. This has resulted in his unending stock of stories full of strange incidents which can easily surpass two volumes of [[The Arabian Nights]]. There is a little exaggeration in his storytelling for the sake of art. He has not stayed in the same job for more than a period of one year. At the age of 64 he has settled down in a flat in ''Beniatola Lane'' in [[Kolkata]].

It may be observed here that like [[Premendra Mitra]]'s [[GhanaDa]], Tarini khuro likes to tell tall tales, although unlike [[GhanaDa]], there is no way of ascertaining the veracity of these stories. He has had an adventurous life and has (like his creator Ray) largely steered clear from the tremendous political (and social) upheavals that were so much visible in twentieth century [[India]]. Although Tarini is apparently born in a Bengali [[middle class]] family and is well-to-do in terms of inheritance and [[social networks]], he seeks out occupations all over India (in other words, he does not limit himself to Bengal) for the sheer joy of doing so. And although it is clear that he does not enjoy the benefits of a [[pension]]able service or an annuity or insurance policy, he has to tell tales to get his afternoon tea and snacks. His audience consists of five school children in a middle class dual income Bengali family, who do not have time to spend with their children during the afternoons or evening.

== Book ==
Tarinikhuror Kirtikolap (Meaning ''The Feats of Tarini Khuro'') is a book written by Satyajit Ray which is the compilation of eight Tarini khuro stories. The book was first published in September, 1985 by [[Ananda Publishers]].
Later all the stories of "Tarini Khuro" were included in "Golpo 101" (Meaning ''One Hundred and One Stories''), a book by Satyajit Ray.
And there is a book, Tarini Khuror Abhijan (Meaning "The Adventure of Tarini Khuro") contains some stories of Tarinikhuro.

== Plot ==
Paltu is a teenage boy who is the storyteller. Tarini khuro is not Paltu's uncle, but from Paltu's childhood he has seen Tarini khuro visit their place quite frequently. Before Paltu was born, Tarinkhuro and his family were neighbours in Dhaka. Hence, he was called khuro or uncle by Paltu's father. He has remained khuro or uncle for Paltu and his five friends as well. Napla, one of the five friends of Paltu once called him grandpa only to be scolded by Tarini khuro. He asked him to call him uncle or khuro since he was fitter than a lot of young men.

Tarini khuro visits Paltu's place and at once the news goes out to the other five friends. They all gather to hear the amazing stories from khuro. Tarinikhuro tells his amazing stories while enjoying the tea without milk and sugar as preferred by him, which is delivered by Paltu's servant Lakshman. He also smokes his favourite brand of export quality bidi.

== Adventures ==
Below are excerpts from a few of Tarini khuro's adventures.

*''Sheth Gangaram-er Dhan Daulat''
Tarini khuro goes to Ajmer to work as a secretary of Seth Gangaram who is a patient of his uncle and very wealthy. Gangaram was a trader of jewels and has wealthy items like the locket of [[Jahangir]]. Gangaram appointed Khuro as the teacher of his notorious youngest son Mahabir. Mahabir did not like him at first and went on to throw scorpions at him but Khuro with his courage won his heart. Later on dacoit Tota Singh robbed Sethji and incidentally looked exactly like Khuro as Khuro had a Rajasthani style moustache at that point in time. The police were tipped of about Khuro being the dacoit and came to arrest him. But Mahabir saved Khuro by giving him sleeping pills in his drink and shaving his moustache and head as he was asleep.

*''Kheloyar Tarini khuro''
Tarini khuro is appointed as the secretary of Virendrapratap Singh, king of Martandapur in Uttar Pradesh. Virendrapratap's father Rajendrapratap used to be a skilled cricketer in his day and had gone to England to watch the great [[Ranjitsinhji]] play. Ranjitsinhji had presented him a bat of his with which he had scored 202 runs for [[Sussex]] against [[Middlesex]]. Khuro has to play in a match against the British Planters' team for the Martandapur Cricket Club at the king's special request. Ranjitsinhji's amazing bat does the trick as khuro feels Ranjitsinhji himself has come inside him to play and eventually they win the match despite having a weaker team.

==History==
It is believed that Jagdham or Jaga, the [[Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty|Pratihara]] ruler of [[Kashmir]], was suffering from leprosy. While on pilgrimage he was brought to Shrimal Patan(now Bhinmal). While he was resting in Naga Baba's garden, which was south of Bhinmal, a dog was rolling in the mud of the river in Naga Baba's garden, went to the king and jumped. Due to this, some particles of wet soil fell on the king's feet and he saw that wherever the soil fell, that place became free from leprosy. At that time the king was bathed in the mud of that well, then the king got relief from leprosy and his body became strong. At that time Jaga, the ruler of Pratihara, was accepted as the ruler of Bhinmal. From then on, Mata Kshemankari became the family deity of the Pratiharas. King Jaga repaired the pond and built a huge and strong city wall. In the 12th century, the [[Sirohi State|Deora Chauhans]] defeated the Pratiharas and drove them away, after which only the Chauhan rulers remained in Bhinmal.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kumar |first=Sarvan |date=2023-07-23 |title=Temple of Kshemankari Mata and Khimaj Mataji ka history क्षेमंकरी माताओं और खीमज माताजी का मंदिर का इतिहास जाने पीछे का रहस्य |url=https://www.jalorenews.com/2023/07/Temple-of-Kshemankari-Mata-and-Khimaj-Mataji-ka-history.html |access-date=2024-01-08 |website=Jalore News Today |language=hi}}</ref>

== Technology ==
The plant uses [[Supercritical steam generator|super-critical boiler]] technology. Compared to other sub-critical plants in India, Mundra UMPP would use 1.7 million tonnes of less coal per year while generating the same quantum of power.<ref name="moneycontrol1"/> Boilers are supplied by [[Doosan]] and turbines are supplied by [[Toshiba]].

In January 2013, the company terminated the PPA with the Rajasthan distribution companies - Jaipur Vidyut Vitaran Nigam, Jodhpur Vidyut Vitaran Nigam and Ajmer Vidyut Vitaran Nigam - due to non-compliance on payment security related issues and consistent failure on the part of the discoms as procurers to fulfill their obligations, including collateral arrangements.

== Controversy over power tariff ==

Tata Power won the project through a competitive tariff based bidding route in 2006 by quoting 55% of the fuel cost as a non-scalable component and a levelised tariff of Rs 2.26 per kWh or unit.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/news/mundra-braces-for-cerc-order/1008028/0 |title=Mundra braces for CERC order |work=The Financial Express |date=26 September 2012 |accessdate=2013-01-09}}</ref> The Indonesian government's decision in 2010 to change its mining law to bring coal price exported from Indonesia in line with the international market<ref>{{cite web|author=DNA India |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/money/report_on-mundra-umpp-great-confusion-no-clear-solution_1709713 |title=On Mundra UMPP, great confusion, no clear solution - Money - DNA |work=Daily News and Analysis|date=2012-07-03 |accessdate=2013-01-09}}</ref> caused an increase in coal price and under-recovery of costs at Mundra UMGPP (and similarly impacted [[Adani Power|Adani Power's]] [[Mundra Thermal Power Station|4620 MW Mundra plant]]). The loss led to an erosion of Tata Power's net worth by over 3800 crore in 3 years.<ref>{{cite web|work=The Financial Express|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/mundra-umpp-has-eroded-tata-powers-net-worth-by-rs-3800-crore-in-three-years-anil-sardana/229316/ |title=Mundra UMPP has eroded Tata Power's net worth by Rs 3,800 crore in three years: Anil Sardana |date=2016-03-25 |accessdate=2016-12-10}}</ref> The company had accordingly petitioned the [[Central Electricity Regulatory Commission]] for compensatory tariff hike, and later for compensatory relief.

In December 2016 the [[Central Electricity Regulatory Commission]] allowed compensatory relief for Tata Power from the electricity procuring states under the Force Majeure clause after having awarded in February 2014 a compensatory tariff of 52 paise per unit;<ref>{{cite web|author=Debapriya Mondal |url=https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/major-relief-for-tata-power-adani-in-compensatory-tariff-case/55856283 |title=Major relief for Tata Power, Adani in compensatory tariff case|publisher= ET EnergyWorld |date=2016-12-08 |accessdate=2016-12-10}}</ref> however the orders are subject to the outcome of a pending appeal in the Supreme Court. The compensatory relief also is to be adjusted against profits made in sale of coal from the Indonesian mines where the companies have a stake.

In 2007, Tata Power had acquired a 30% stake in two Indonesian thermal coal companies owned by PT Bumi Resources—PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) and PT Arutmin Indonesia— for about $1.1 billion<ref>{{cite web|author=Live Mint |url=https://www.livemint.com/Industry/J7BQ2lFBocC0s3mmgVkdVI/Tata-Power-cuts-sale-consideration-for-Arutmin-mine-to-246.html |title=Tata Power cuts sale consideration for Arutmin mine in Indonesia to $246 mn |publisher=Live Mint |date=2016-12-01 |accessdate=2016-12-10}}</ref> as part of a strategy to provide low cost coal for the Mundra UMPP.

In 2014, Tata Power agreed to sell a 30% stake it held in PT Arutmin Indonesia, to the Bakrie Group for a sale consideration of $510 million (later revised to $400 million). No date has been set for his sale closure, which is pending regulatory clearances from the authorities

The company had requested [[Central Electricity Regulatory Commission]] to allow a tariff hike to about Rs 3.00 per unit<ref>{{cite news|work=Business Standard|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/tata-power-seeks-higher-tariff-for-mundra-umpp/179012/on |title=Tata Power seeks higher tariff for Mundra UMPP |date=2012-07-17 |accessdate=2013-01-09|agency=Press Trust of India }}</ref>

The company had petitioned the CERC to rule whether the company can claim relief under any/all of the following:<ref>{{cite web|author=Central Electricity Regulatory Commission India |url=https://www.cercind.gov.in/2012/rop/Signed%20ROP%20in%20Pet%20No.%20159%20of%202012_doh%204.12.2012_.pdf |title=Record of Proceedings in Petition No. 159 of 2012 |publisher=cercind.gov.in |date=2012-12-04 |accessdate=2013-01-09}}</ref>

* Article 13 of the PPA due to Change in Law
The company stand is that the definition of law under the PPA is an inclusive (and not exhaustive) definition. The definition of law covers 'any law' and is not restricted to Indian law. The term 'law' is required to be interpreted in a contextual basis with a view to give business efficacy to the PPA since the project is based on imported coal and the fuel supply arrangements are a part of the Project Documents. The definition of Law must be given a plenary meaning and cannot be read down by confining it to Indian laws. The promulgation and enforcement of 'Regulation of Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 17 of 2010 regard procedure for Setting Mineral and Coal Benchmark Selling Price' dated 23.09.2010 by Government of Indonesia ("Indonesian Regulations") led to an unprecedented, uncontrollable and unforeseeable rise in coal prices which constitutes a 'Change in Law' under the PPA.

* Article 12 of the PPA, pertaining to Force Majeure
The definition of Force Majeure under Article 12.3 of the PPA covers "any event or circumstance or combination of events or circumstances that wholly or partly prevents or unavoidably delays an Affected Party in performing its obligations under the PPA to the extent such events or circumstances are not within the reasonable control, directly or indirectly of the Affected Party and could not have been avoided if the Affected Party had taken reasonable care". Tata Power is arguing that the promulgation of the Indonesian Regulation is an event which is beyond its control and has made it impossible for the company to perform its obligations as per the contracted price. So this is covered as a Force Majeure event under Article 12.3 of the PPA.

* CERC's power to 'regulate' tariff by exercising its powers under Section 79(1)(b) of the Electricity Act, 2003.
Tata Power is arguing that CERC has the power under Section 79(1)(b) of the Electricity Act, 2003 to revisit/restructure the tariff for a power project if the project has lost its viability and it has become
commercially impossible for the project owner to perform its contractual obligations.

On 18 July 2012 the [[Central Electricity Regulatory Commission]] deferred a decision on Tata Power's petition. [[Central Electricity Regulatory Commission]] has asked the company to go back and take recourse to the dispute resolution provisions of the power purchase agreement (PPA) before seeking relief from the [[Central Electricity Regulatory Commission]].<ref>{{cite web|work=The Financial Express|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/news/cerc-defers-decision-on-tata-power-plea/976947/0 |title=CERC defers decision on Tata Power plea |date=20 July 2012 |accessdate=2013-01-09}}</ref>

On 25 October 2012 the CERC admitted the petition for hearing since the consultative process under Article 17.3 of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd and the lead procurer, Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) had failed. The petition will now be renotified for hearing on 4 December 2012.<ref>{{Cite web| title=In the matter of Petition under Sections 61, 63 and 79 of the Electricity Act, 2003 for establishing an appropriate mechanism to offset in tariff the adverse impact of the unforeseen, uncontrollable and unprecedented escalation in the imported coal price due to enactment of new coal pricing Regulation by Indonesian Government and other factors | url=https://www.cercind.gov.in/2012/orders/Signed_Order_159_2012.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220092259/http://www.cercind.gov.in/2012/orders/Signed_Order_159_2012.pdf | archive-date=2016-12-20}}</ref>

{{Family tree of Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi}}

== Statements and views ==
In July 2023, Kaif Raza Khan issued a statement calling the government's order cancelling the holiday of Muharram as a "Tughlaqi Farmaan" and an end to social and religious harmony. Further said that the cancellation of Muharram holiday in the name of the anniversary of the [[National Education Policy]] (NEP) on the day of Muharram is completely wrong. Further, Kaif Raza Khan criticised [[Prime Minister of India]], [[Narendra Modi]] and said that, "if the Prime Minister is very fond of narrating the speech, then he should go to the Parliament and there all the opposition is waiting for him. Due to his not giving speech, even the Parliament is not able to run and both the time and money of the Parliament are being wasted, so the Parliament needs his speech more than the schools."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vichar|first=Amrit|date=30 July 2023|title=Kaif Raza Khan issued a statement calling the government's order canceling the holiday of Muharram as a Tughlaqi decree|url=https://epaper.amritvichar.com/clip/132508|website=amritvichar.com|language=hindi|access-date=30 July 2023|archive-date=30 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230730081227/https://epaper.amritvichar.com/clip/132508|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Recitation of Salaam in Ajmer Sharif ===
Khan has expressed his displeasure over Ajmer's Khadim Sarwar Chishti stopping Barelvi Ulema from giving speeches and saluting, distributing literature. Every [[Sunni]] [[Barelvi]] [[Muslim]] has immense respect for [[Mu'in al-Din Chishti|Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty]]. Khan said that on 27 January 2023 all of us will go to [[Ajmer]].

After reaching the [[Ajmer Sharif Dargah]] will present the Nazrana of ''Salat-o-Salam'' with Adab and Ahtram (respect). Khan also said that [[Ala Hazrat]] has taken the education and message of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti to the masses. For decades, Sunni Barelvi Ulema read Naat and Mankabat and Writings of [[Ala Hazrat]] in the Dargah premises of [[Ajmer]]. Dargah is not anyone's property.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Team|first=Hindustan|date=15 January 2023|title=Will Read Salaam Written By Ala Hazrat In Ajmer Maulana Kaif|url=https://www.livehindustan.com/uttar-pradesh/bareily/story-will-read-salaam-written-by-ala-hazrat-in-ajmer-maulana-kaif-7633783.html|access-date=15 January 2023|website=live hindustan|language=hindi|archive-date=26 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230126072336/https://www.livehindustan.com/uttar-pradesh/bareily/story-will-read-salaam-written-by-ala-hazrat-in-ajmer-maulana-kaif-7633783.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=15 January 2023|title=अजमेर में पढ़ेंगे आला हजरत का लिखा सलाम|url=https://epaper.livehindustan.com/Home/MShareArticle?OrgId=1519a154f20&imageview=0|access-date=15 January 2023|work=[[Hindustan]]|language=hindi|archive-date=26 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230126072330/https://epaper.livehindustan.com/Home/MShareArticle?OrgId=1519a154f20&imageview=0|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Demanding an apology from Swedish government ===

On 21 January 2023, [[Rasmus Paludan]] was permitted by Swedish police to organise a demonstration in front of the [[Turkish embassy]] in [[Stockholm]] and set fire to the [[Quran]] with a lighter, Khan said:
{{Quote|We strongly condemn the desecration of Quran and burning of Quran in Sweden.This act of Sweden has hurt the faith of Muslims all over the world and the Muslims are angry against Sweden. We strongly condemn this act of the Swedish government. Our country India is a secular nation which respects all religions, so we demand from you that this act of Swedish government should be strongly condemned on behalf of India. Pressure should be made on the Swedish government to apologize to the Swedish government for allowing the burning of the Quran. On behalf of India, pressure should be made on the Swedish government to punish [[Rasmus Paludan]], a Swedish citizen who burnt the Holy Quran."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bhaskar|first1=Loktantra|work=Loktantra Bhaskar|date=25 January 2023|title=Dargah Ustad Zaman Trust Strongly Condemned The Burning Of Quran E Pak In Sweden Sent A Memorandum To The President Through Dm In Protest Against Sweden|url=https://loktantrabhaskar.com/dargah-ustad-zaman-trust-strongly-condemned-the-burning-of-quran-e-pak-in-sweden-sent-a-memorandum-to-the-president-through-dm-in-protest-against-sweden/|access-date=26 January 2023|archive-date=15 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230315010922/https://loktantrabhaskar.com/dargah-ustad-zaman-trust-strongly-condemned-the-burning-of-quran-e-pak-in-sweden-sent-a-memorandum-to-the-president-through-dm-in-protest-against-sweden/|url-status=dead}}</ref>}}

=== Controversy with Salman Hasan ===

On 29 January 2023, Salman Miyan, a son-in-law of [[Asjad Raza Khan]] met Sarwar Chishti, a Khadim of Ajmer Sharif Dargah. Khan said:

{{Quote|What was the need for Salman Hasan to meet Sarwar Chishti? Who gave them this permission? Shortly before this meeting, Khadims had beaten up the Barelvis in Garib Nawaz's Urs on Saturday late night. Hasan met the same Khadims and also invites them to come to Bareilly Sharif, how can this be understood.

On 19 April 2023, [[Ittehad-e-Millat Council]] chief [[Tauqeer Raza Khan]], Kaif Raza Khan, and their supporters were not permitted to hold a sit-in at Islamia Maidan [[Bareilly]] to protest. Khan described the denial of permission as a symbol of dictatorship.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ujala|first=Amar|date=20 April 2023|title=Maulana Tauqeer Raza Got Angry On Being Put Under House Arrest And Maulana Kaif Said Cm Yogi A Dictator|url=https://www.amarujala.com/uttar-pradesh/bareilly/maulana-tauqeer-raza-got-angry-on-being-put-under-house-arrest-told-cm-yogi-a-dictator-2023-04-20|access-date=20 April 2023|website=amarujala.com|language=hindi|archive-date=20 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230420121628/https://www.amarujala.com/uttar-pradesh/bareilly/maulana-tauqeer-raza-got-angry-on-being-put-under-house-arrest-told-cm-yogi-a-dictator-2023-04-20|url-status=live}}</ref>

In June 2023, In a press conference, Khan targeted Bageshwar Dham's chief, [[Dhirendra Krishna Shastri]], and said that, Shastri is working to spread hatred against Muslims in the country through anti national speech. Further said, Shastri who dreams of a Hindu nation, should know that [[Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar]] had said in 1940 that if Hindu nation becomes a reality, it will be the biggest disaster for the country. According to Khan, [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and [[Sardar Patel]] also believed in the same thing regarding the Hindu nation. Khan demanded a sedition case be registered against Dhirendra Shastri. Following Khan's statement, the office bearers of All India Brahmin Mahasabha organised a meeting at the central office.

== Controversies ==

In January 2023, Salman Miyan, the vice-president of [[Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa]] and son-in-law of [[Asjad Raza Khan]], accused Kaif Raza Khan and said, He does not know any Maulana Kaif Raza, with what relation has Maulana Kaif called himself Asjad Miyan's nephew, this is also beyond understanding.{{Citation needed|date=December 2024}}

After the statement of Hasan, Khan released his genealogy and gave a reply to Hasan and said " Hasan has no identity of his own, he is just the son-in-law of Asjad. In order to gain publicity, Hassan goes on doing irresponsible things".{{Citation needed|date=December 2024}}

Also, the family members of Ala Hazrat strongly condemned Salman Hasan.

==History==
The 13th century, King Pethasinh of Pethapur ruled over Shertha town. After the death of parmar Pethasinh, the [[Gujarat Sultanate]] of [[Patan, Gujarat|Patan]] used this land as battle ground. [[Ahmed Shah of Gujarat|Sultan Ahmed Shah]] decided to move his capital from Patan to a new city, and built [[Ahmedabad]]. In 1960, [[Bombay]] state was split in two different states, [[Gujarat]] and [[Maharashtra]]. Ahmedabad became capital of Gujarat, and a new capital city was to be built on land which was once part of Pethapur state.{{citation needed|date=December 2017}}

==Description==
[[File:Peninsular Rock Agama Bangalore.jpg|thumb|left|Close-up of a male]]
[[File:RockAgamaBNP.jpg|thumb|left|A female]]
This species of [[lizard]] has a large head that is elongated and depressed, with the cheeks swollen in adult males. The snout is longer than the diameter of the orbit (eye cavity). The upper head scales are unequal and smooth or obtusely keeled, the scales being larger on the sinciput (brow) than on the [[occiput]]. The ''canthus rostralis'' and supraciliary (brow) has a clear and sharp edge, two small separated spines or groups of spines above the ear are present or absent; the diameter of the tympanum is half or a little more than half that of the orbit; it has 10 to 13 upper and as many lower labial scales. The body is slightly flattened; dorsal scales are small, uniform, smooth, or feebly keeled in the adult, and strongly keeled in the young, all pointing backwards and upwards; the dorsal crest is reduced to a ridge of enlarged scales; ventral scales are as large as the dorsals, and smooth (keeled in the young); from 115 to 150 scales occur around the middle of the body; the gular (under chin) scales are a little smaller than the ventral (underside) scales; four or five enlarged scales occur on the chin parallel with the anterior labials, separated from them by two rows of scales; a strong transverse fold covered with small scales is seen across the throat; the [[nuchal]] and dorsal crests are merely tooth-like protrusions. The legs are strong, covered with uniform, keeled scales; the hind limb when extended forward in a specimen reaches the ear or the rear end of the eye, and further forward in younger individuals. The tail is slightly flattened and covered with keeled scales, which are larger below than above. In the adult male, it is distinctly swollen at the base, the scales on that part of it are thickened, and those of the upper median row are enlarged.

Young and females are olive-brown, spotted, speckled, or marbled with dark brown, and with a series of white, elongated spots along each side of the back. The male has pale brownish colour on the top of the head and back, while the lips are yellowish-brown, and this extends as a strip beyond the ear. A dark brown or black lateral stripe begins behind the eye and broadens to cover the lower sides. The underside is yellow with the throat mottled with grey.

These lizards basks on bare rocks where they are hidden by their cryptic colouration. They feed on insects. The male in the breeding season assumes bright colours. The upper parts become fine vermilion red or yellow, the lip stripe is sometimes pink. The under surfaces, limbs, and tail are black.<ref name=fbi>[[Malcolm Arthur Smith|Smith MA]]. 1935.

(Taylor and Francis, printers). xiii + 440 pp. + Plate I + 2 maps. (''Psammophilus dorsalis'', pp. 209-210).</ref>

From snout to vent, its length is 135 mm, the tail is 200 mm. Females are smaller.

==Behaviour==
Males bask openly on exposed rocks and show head push-up displays. The larger males take up higher perch positions.<ref>Radder RS, Saidapur SK, Shanbhag BA. 2006.

==Geographic range==
They are found in southern India, south of about 16°N latitude. In the Western Ghats, Nilgiris, South Arcot, and [[Nallamalai Hills]], they are found in the hilly regions at altitudes up to 6000 ft above sea level in the Nilgiris. It is very common in some parts of the Nilgiris and it was noted as being particularly common near Bangalore [[Malcolm Arthur Smith|by M.A. Smith]] in ''The Fauna of British India''.<ref name=fbi/>

Akrahāram}} or {{Langx|Sa|𑌅𑌗𑍍𑌰𑌹𑌾𑌰|Agrahāra}}) was a grant of land and royal income from it, typically by a king or a noble family in ancient [[Tamilakam]] and in modern times in southern part of [[India]], for religious purposes, particularly to [[Brahmin]]s to maintain temples in that land or a pilgrimage site and to sustain their families.<ref name="Talbot2001p89">{{cite book|author=Cynthia Talbot|title=Precolonial India in Practice: Society, Region, and Identity in Medieval Andhra|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pfAKljlCJq0C|year=2001|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-803123-9|pages=89, 161, 169}}</ref><ref>AA Macdonnell, [http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/app/macdonell_query.py?page=9 A practical Sanskrit dictionary with transliteration, accentuation, and etymological analysis throughout]{{Dead link|date=September 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }} London: Oxford University Press, page 9</ref> Agraharams were also known as {{Langx|ta|சதுர்வேதி மங்கலம்|Caturvēti Maṅkalam}} in ancient times. They were also known as ghatoka, and boya. Agraharams were built and maintained by dynasties such as the [[Pandya dynasty|Pandya]], [[Cholas]], [[Kadamba dynasty|Kadambas]], [[Pallavas]], [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagara]] and other [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] dynasties since ancient times.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-03-05 |title=Sanskrit Education and Literature in Ancient and Medieval Tamil Nadu – DK Printworld (P) Ltd. |url=https://dkprintworld.com/product/sanskrit-education-and-literature-in-ancient-and-medieval-tamil-nadu/ |access-date=2023-04-08 |language=en-GB |archive-date=8 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230408102157/https://dkprintworld.com/product/sanskrit-education-and-literature-in-ancient-and-medieval-tamil-nadu/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

They were known by different names in different parts of India, like Sāsana in Odisha.
The name Agraharam originates from the fact that the agraharams have lines of houses on either side of the road and the temple to the village god at the centre, thus resembling a garland around the temple. According to the traditional [[Hindu architecture|Hindu practice of architecture]] and town-planning, an agraharam is held to be two rows of houses running north–south on either side of a road at one end of which would be a temple to [[Shiva]] and at the other end, a temple to [[Vishnu]]. An example is [[Vadiveeswaram]] in [[Tamil Nadu]].

With Brahmins taking up professions in urban areas and some migrating abroad, Agraharams are vanishing fast. Many of the traditional houses are giving way to concrete structures and commercial buildings. Agraharams were started in south India during the Pallava period since they followed [[Veda]]s. Initially, the Agraharam was maintained fully using royal patronage but later the Agraharam become a self-sustaining economy.

== History ==
An early example of an existing description of an ''agraharam'' has been found in a 3rd-century CE [[Sangam literature|Sangam poem]] called ''[[Perumpāṇāṟṟuppaṭai]]''.<ref name="srinivasaiyengar">{{cite book |author=P.

'''(2) Iyengar's Translation'''

{{blockquote|The houses had in front of them, a shed with short legs to which were tied fat calves; the houses were washed with cowdung and had idols (inside them). Domestic fowl and dogs did not approach them. It was the village of the guardians of the Veda who teach its sounds to the parrots with the bent mouth. If you (bard) reach (the place), fair faced bangled ladies who are as chaste as (Arundhathi) the little star which shines in the north of the bright, broad sky, will after sunset feed you on the well-cooked rice named after the bird (explained by the commentator as the rice called ''irasanam'') along with slices of citron boiled in butter taken, from the buttermilk derived from red cows and scented with the leaves of the karuvembu, and mixed with pepper-powder, and the sweet-smelling tender fruit plucked from the tall mango tree and pickled.|author=P.

[[Thane district|Thane]] is one of the 36 districts in the [[Maharashtra]] state of [[India]]. The district is on the western coast and falls under the [[Konkan division]] of the state.

Until 1 August 2014 the district was divided into 15 [[taluka]]s, viz. [[Thane]], [[Kalyan, India|Kalyan]], [[Murbad]], [[Bhiwandi]], [[Shahapur taluka|Shahapur]], [[Vasai]], [[Ulhasnagar]], [[Ambarnath]], [[Dahanu]], [[Palghar]], [[Talasari]], [[Jawhar]], [[Mokhada]], [[Vada, Thane|Vada]], Boisar and [[Vikramgad]]. However, on that date the district was split in two with the creation of a new [[Palghar district]], which took 8 of these talukas, leaving the reduced Thane district comprising Thane, Kalyan, Murbad, Bhiwandi, Shahapur, Ulhasnagar and Ambarnath talukas.

The following are separate lists of towns/villages in the reduced Thane district and the new Palghar district. The population data is per [[2011 census of India|Census 2011]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/PopulationFinder/Sub_Districts_Master.aspx?state_code=27&district_code=21 |title=Thane district |publisher=[[Government of India]], Ministry of Home Affairs |access-date=29 October 2012}}</ref>

==Mar Sabor & Mar Afroth==
Mar Sabor and Mar Afroth were two holy men who came to Kollam to preach the Gospel with a group of Syriac Christian immigrants led by a merchant named Marwan Sapir Iso. They were said to have landed at Quilon ([[Kollam]]) in 823 AD.

The Venad ruler Ayyan Adigal Thiruvadigal gave in 849 AD, Marwan Sapir Iso and his community who settled down at Kollam in the present day Thevally area a set of copper plates with privileges and a village inhabited by lower castes, as it was the custom in those days to entertain foreign merchants.

Marwan Sapir Iso and his community who came to Kollam settled in the village given by the Rajah, started the Kollavarsham or the Nasrani Era in 825 AD. This community were to be known as Nazaranies, and this community grew into a major Syrian Christian community in Kerala from Kollam to Kunnamkulam area. Mar Sabore and Mar Aphroth went around this belt converting people to syriac christianity and also establishing churches.They were brought up by these monks in the tradition of Antiochene faith.

When the Portuguese came to Kerala, they found that this community using Syriac liturgy and therefore they called them Syriac Christians to distinguish them from Latin Christians converted by the Portuguese who were using Latin liturgy. Mar Sapor elevated a local convert to the position of a catechist (kathanar) and he became famous as a Kadamuttath Kathanar.

The church at Akaparambu is believed to have been established in A.D. 825.
