==Plot==
The film opens with Saumya and Dhruv at Devipur village police station in [[Uttarakhand]], where Saumya accuses Dhruv of attempting to kill her. The story flashes back to an earlier incident when police officer Vidya Jyothi (VJ) receives a call regarding domestic abuse but finds it dismissed as a false alarm. However, Maaji, a maternal figure to Saumya, privately reveals that she had placed the call out of concern, explaining that Saumya gets brutally abused by her husband, Dhruv, though Saumya decides to remain silent about it.

Through Maaji's account, we learn that Dhruv, the son of a minister and owner of a paragliding company in Devipur, met Saumya, who developed feelings for him. When Saumya introduces him to her family, her identical twin sister, Shailee, becomes infatuated with Dhruv. Having been the focus of care due to numerous phobias and mental health issues since their mother's death, Saumya has always been prioritised, which now fuels Shailee's resentment. Dhruv and Shailee start dating, but due to Shailee's unpredictable and bold behaviour, Dhruv starts having second thoughts, and a business deal gone wrong causes his father to pressurise him, get a hold of himself and find a homely spouse. Consequently, Dhruv marries Saumya, though Shailee continues to pursue him, causing conflict.

VJ learns of the sisters' rivalry and Dhruv's violent behaviour. Maaji recounts that whenever Saumya suggests having a child, Dhruv's temper flares, often leading to physical abuse. In one incident, he pushes her down the stairs, leaving her half-dead. Determined to bring Dhruv to justice, VJ confronts him, but Dhruv insists her fall was accidental, a claim Saumya initially supports, stating her intent to start afresh with him and not wanting to lose to Shailee.

At home, Saumya proposes a paragliding trip, hoping Dhruv will recreate his initial proposal. Maaji, meanwhile, works to gather evidence against Dhruv, who dismisses her warnings to mend his ways. During a Holi celebration, Shailee and Dhruv share a moment, prompting Saumya to lead Dhruv on a paragliding outing. Mid-flight, Dhruv's harness fails, but both narrowly escape. Dhruv is arrested based on Saumya's accusation of attempted murder: she claims that Dhruv loosened her harness to push her out. With compelling evidence, he is convicted of attempted murder and domestic violence and sentenced to prison.

VJ senses inconsistencies in the case's details. She realises that Saumya and Shailee orchestrated a deception: they had swapped roles before the paragliding, with Shailee sabotaging the harness mid-flight and then joining Saumya to accuse Dhruv. When VJ confronts them, Shailee argues that their actions were justified, revealing the family's history of concealed domestic abuse. She admits that remaining silent about their mother's suffering was wrong, while VJ reflects on domestic violence as a social, not merely private, issue. Since punishment for domestic abuse is much less than attempted murder, VJ withdraws her appeal, convinced that not always going by the book delivers justice, and the film concludes as Saumya finds closure.

Aakriti Agarwala of ''[[The Statesman (India)|The Statesman]]'' writes, "''Do Patti'' aimed to connect several social issues of generational trauma, domestic violence, and discourse around patriarchy and its inherent nature via a thriller. Additionally, the film hinged upon the dichotomy between the ‘word of law’ and the ‘spirit of law’ but it lacked the punch to do so. Despite harbouring good intentions, the unidimensional characterisations and a convenient storyline don’t leave much scope to weigh on the issues."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Agarwala |first=Aakriti |date=27 October 2024 |title=Kajol and Kriti Sanon's 'Do Patti' fails to draw the right cards |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/entertainment/ott/kajol-and-kriti-sanons-do-patti-fails-to-draw-the-right-cards-1503358179.html |access-date=27 October 2024 |website=[[thestatesman.com]]}}</ref>

==Plot==
Lovleen is an only child in the Sidhu family whose parents love her to the core. During her first day of college she meets a boy named Karanvir Singh Gill whom she hits with her car while he is riding his bike. Karanvir seeks revenge for the accident and decides to retaliate.

When Lovleen arrives at her classroom the next day, Karanvir poses as a professor and [[ragging|humiliates]] her. Karanvir invites his friends and Lovleen's best friend, Dolly, to a pub where he asks her to dance. While dancing, Karanvir accidentally touches Lovleen, which angers her and results in her attempt to slap him. The next day, she asks her friends to fight Karanvir but is not successful.

She takes Karanvir at unknown place where she frames him for raping her. He slaps her and reveals that he has romantic feelings for Lovleen. She reacts by saying that she is sorry for what she did and tries to apologize but Karanvir is not receptive. Later, Lovleen angrily shouts at Karanvir for ignoring her and tells him that she would never talk to him. Finally, he apologises to her, and they become best friends.

Karanvir expresses his emotions to his elder brother, Mahendra Singh Gill. As the time passes on, Karanvir confesses his love towards her and she reciprocate him as well. Eventually, Lovleen's father Kewal Sidhu learns about their love, but agrees to meet his family. In a showroom, Mahendra wants to give a car to Karanvir as a gift but chooses a car which has already been booked. Mahendra argues with the manager for the car and tries to slap him, but he is held back by the owner. He also fights with the owner and goes out of the showroom. The Gill brothers then head to Sidhu's house and learn that the owner was the notorious figure Kewal Sidhu. Kewal insults the Gill brothers which makes Karanvir furious and he vows to marry Lovleen at any cost. Meanwhile, Kewal arranges her marriage to a [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRI]] Harmeet from [[Canada]]. Heartbroken, Karanvir tries to meet her but is held by security guards as he was not allowed to enter. Eventually, Lovleen, heartbroken and sad, confesses her feelings towards Karanvir to her aunt. Her dad listens to this and fills with rage, and he now wants Lovleen to marry the very next day. Lovleen pleads to Karanvir for a solution, but Karanvir has no option left but to leave Lovleen forever. Lovleen runs to find Karanvir and tell him to elope with her. Karanvir disagrees, but Lovleen threatens him that if he does not agree then she will commit [[suicide]] by jumping in a lake. She jumps but Karanvir dives to save her. Karanvir saves Lovleen and brings her back to the mansion. Upon their return, Karanvir is beaten by her uncle and brother. Kewal points the gun to shoot him, but Mahendra steps forward and saves him. Heartbroken, Gill brothers leaves the mansion. Loveleen pleads to her dad to leave her. Kewal, after a change of heart, finally agrees and Karanvir and Lovleen are united.

===Development and casting===
After the debacle of ''[[Boxer (2015 film)|Boxer]]'' in 2015, director-writer Preetham teamed up yet again with the producers Jayanna-Bhogendra duo and choose motocross racing as the theme for his next directorial venture. For this film, he brought in six national champions, including a couple of them with international acclaim. He also hired Vijaykumar, a professional motocross racer of many international awards, as a team coach to help with the proceedings.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2015/dec/09/preetham-goes-motocross-racing-853759.html | title=Preetham Goes Motocross Racing | date=9 December 2015 }}</ref> For the lead roles, he selected the fresh faces Prithvi and Malayalam actress [[Malavika Mohanan]]. Prithvi, the grandson of music director [[G. K. Venkatesh]], is an engineering graduate and is trained in acting, stunts and dancing. [[Charandeep]] was chosen to play the antagonist as another racer who is an opponent to Prithvi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/charandeep-plays-a-racer-in-next-kannada-film/|title=Charandeep plays a racer in next Kannada film|publisher=Indian Express|date=21 January 2016|accessdate=18 July 2016}}</ref>

===Filming===
The principal photography of the film officially began from 15 December 2015 in Bangalore behind ''[[Manyata Tech Park]]'' where a race track was being set up for the shoot. The crew consisted of some technically professional racers whom Preetham wanted the scene to "look authentic, since it is a tough sport and any cover-up by the technical team will show upfront." The first schedule of filming ended at [[Ooty]].<ref>{{cite news | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/Indias-first-hardcore-bike-racing-film/etarticleshow/49222770.cms?from=mdr | title=India's first hardcore bike racing film | website=[[The Times of India]] }}</ref> For the climax portions, Preetham chose to shoot in [[Sri Lanka]] where two tracks are meant for the bike races.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/south-masala/gubbi-shoots-a-real-motocross-race/articleshow/50258540.cms | title=Gubbi shoots a real motocross race }}</ref>

==Campaign==
Mamata Banerjee ended her campaign on 9 May in the constituency of the incumbent CM Bhattacharjee in Jadavpur a day after Bhattacharjee appealed to the electorate there to return him to power. Before campaigning ended at 17:00, she appealed to the electorate to "Help me bring about change."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110426/jsp/calcutta/story_13901464.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121026064850/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110426/jsp/calcutta/story_13901464.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-date=26 October 2012 |title=Mamata ends campaign at CM seat |publisher=Telegraphindia.com |date=2011-04-26 |access-date=2011-10-16}}</ref> The Trinamool Congress heavily campaigned for ''Paribartan'' ('change' in Bengali) under its slogan ''Badla noy Badal chai'' ('We don't want revenge, we want change' in Bengali), referring the political violence unleashed by the CPI(M) in Singur, Nandigram & [[Netai]].

===Land reform===
Following the general election, with the [[All India Trinamool Congress|TMC]] being an important part of the central government's coalition, the central government eased its controversial land acquisition policy for [[Special Economic Zones]]. Part of the proposal was that the government would not get involved in land acquisition for private organizations. One official from the central ruling coalition was quoted as saying that "There is a tacit understanding between these two critical allies that there will be no decision on the Land Acquisition Bill until the results of West Bengal state elections are clear."<ref>{{cite web |url= http://business.in.com/article/real-issue/2011-west-bengal-state-elections-impact-on-land-reforms/9702/1#ixzz19KtbAcTT |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100207123721/http://business.in.com/article/real-issue/2011-west-bengal-state-elections-impact-on-land-reforms/9702/1#ixzz19KtbAcTT |url-status= dead |archive-date= 7 February 2010 |title=Forbes India - 2011 West Bengal State Elections' Impact on Land Reforms |work=business.in.com |year=2011 |access-date=25 April 2011}}</ref> The issue of land acquisition for development also created a battle zone like situation in the villages between armed cadres of the ruling [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|CPM]] and the [[Communist Party of India (Maoist)|Maoists]].<ref>{{cite news |url= http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-01-19/india/28375281_1_harmad-vahini-harmad-vahini-cpm-supporters |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120523183900/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-01-19/india/28375281_1_harmad-vahini-harmad-vahini-cpm-supporters |url-status= dead |archive-date= 2012-05-23 |work= [[The Times of India]] |title=Bengal intellectuals urge Chidambaram to help disarm Harmad Vahini|year=2011}}</ref> as seen in the 2006 Singur anti-land acquisition movement & 2007 Nandigram anti-land acquisition movement.

===Gorkhaland===
During the [[2009 Indian general election|general election]] the issue of the founding of [[Gorkhaland]] as separate from West Bengal gained prominence along with the victory of [[Jaswant Singh]] from [[Darjeeling]] [[Darjeeling Lok Sabha constituency|constituency]] for the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], and supported by the [[Gorkha Janmukti Morcha]] (which advocates the creation of a separate Gorkhaland for ethnic [[Nepali Indian|Nepalis]] as opposed to ethnic [[Bengali people|Bengalis]]).

Since the election the issue again cropped up as demands for a separate [[Telangana]] being bifurcated from [[Andhra Pradesh]] grew.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://blogs.reuters.com/india/2009/12/10/telangana-today-gorkhaland-tomorrow/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091213204809/http://blogs.reuters.com/india/2009/12/10/telangana-today-gorkhaland-tomorrow/ | url-status=dead | archive-date=13 December 2009 | work=Reuters | title=Telangana today, Gorkhaland tomorrow? | date=10 December 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/dec/10/telangana-effect-gjm-to-fast-for-gorkhaland.htm |title=Telangana effect: GJM to fast for Gorkhaland - Rediff.com India News |publisher=News.rediff.com |date=2009-12-10 |access-date=2011-10-16}}</ref> During this election CM Bhattacharjee said that Gorkhaland should not be separated but instead an additional development of the region should occur. He said in [[Lichupokhri]] that those advocating the separation should "stop your movement for a Gorkhaland. It will never be fulfilled. Concentrate on the all-round development of Darjeeling as it is the only solution to the issue."<ref>{{cite news| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-02-20/india/28625487_1_gorkhaland-separate-state-gjm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928061649/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-02-20/india/28625487_1_gorkhaland-separate-state-gjm | url-status=dead | archive-date=28 September 2011 | work=[[The Times of India]] | title=Buddhadeb says no to Gorkhaland | date=20 February 2011}}</ref>

During the first phase, the Indian border with Bangladesh at the Maldaha constituency was sealed from 16 April, two days before the election, to "prevent miscreants from causing trouble." One-hundred and twelve companies of central paramilitary forces were delegated to man 260 voting booths, 150 of which were decreed to be "sensitive." The [[district magistrate]] Rajesh Kumar Sinha also said that 50 booths would be put under round-the-clock online surveillance.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://westbengalelections2011.com/border-with-bangladesh-to-be-sealed-in-malda-district.html |title=Border with Bangladesh to be sealed in Malda district | West Bengal Election 2011 |publisher=Westbengalelections2011.com |date=2011-04-12 |access-date=2011-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110917030528/http://westbengalelections2011.com/border-with-bangladesh-to-be-sealed-in-malda-district.html |archive-date=17 September 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

* TMC's Mamata Banerjee responded to her victory saying "This is a victory of democracy, victory of ''Maa'', ''Maati'', ''Manush'' (mother, land and people). There will be end of autocracy and atrocities." (''[[sic]]'')<ref>{{cite web|author=Web18 |url=http://www.firstpost.com/politics/mamata-the-dragon-slayer-to-mamata-the-ice-cool-politician-9397.html |title=Mamata the dragon-slayer to Mamata the ice-cool politician |publisher=Firstpost |date=2011-05-13 |access-date=2011-05-21}}</ref> She thanked the INC chief [[Sonia Gandhi]], who sent congratulatory messages, and [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Manmohan Singh]]: "The Prime Minister sent me a congratulatory message from [[Afghanistan–India relations|Afghanistan]] for our victory.

This is a day of liberation for our people." She also added that the TMC intended to emphasize a return to "true democracy that has been undermined by the communist politics of control" and that her government would promote what she termed a more "inclusive development that benefits rural and urban poor by balancing allocations between agriculture and industry" while seeking a more "efficient" government "especially in terms of maintaining law and order in what has become a fairly violent state." She said "I will continue to live like a commoner because I don't like a luxury. The support of my people is more important. I am against the Left here but not against Leftism. I share the values of the old Left."<ref name="aljaz"/>
* West Bengal CPIM leader [[Biman Bose]] said that "We are down, but not out. We will perform our role in opposition and win back the people's trust...[as in [[Tripura]]] where the Communists messed up and people brought us back. That will happen in Bengal. They went out of power in 1988 and came back to power five years later...ruling it until now.""<ref name="aljaz"/>

* {{BAN}}: Fellow Bengali and Bangladeshi [[Prime Minister of Bangladesh|Prime Minister]] [[Sheikh Hasina]] offered her congratulations to Banerjee. Banerjee told the press that "Sheikh Hasinaji called me and congratulated us on behalf of the people of Bangladesh. I told her our [[Bangladesh-India relations|relations]] have been since the time of ''Bangabandhu'' ([[Mujibur Rahman]]) and told her that we will work together for betterment. I quoted from [[Rabindranath Tagore]]'s ‘''Amar Sonar Bangla Ami Tomay Bhalobashi''’ and told her that both Bangladesh and West Bengal will flourish."

===Media===
In the media, she was dubbed as "India's [[Lech Wałęsa]]." Editor Prabhu Chawla said that "Their (Communist) future in Indian politics is in jeopardy. This is an obsolete [[Communism|ideology]] and will not work here anymore."

Tarun Vijay, the editor of the ''[[Organiser Weekly]]'' said that "Now Indian politics at the federal level will be more bipolar - with the Congress leading one coalition and the Hindu nationalist BJP leading the other."

''Al Jazeera'' said that the only hope for a Communist resurgence is "if Banerji,
whose performance as India's railway minister has not been overly impressive, fails in her position of governance." It also said Banerjee's "austere lifestyle appears closer to the old icons of the Bengal communist movement than their successors who had become corrupted by three decades of power."

===Academia===
Sabyasachi Basu Roy Choudhury of the Calcutta Research Group said that the election was "the most dramatic reversal of fortunes in [[Bengal]]'s history...The anti-left mass got a powerful leader in Mamata Banerjee and she started to reach out to the floating voters, issue by issue. That explains why the tide has turned against the communists...Bengal's communism was unique in that it grew among the people not through armed revolution. This was a party that grew by consensus by carrying with them all sections of the middle class, rural and urban poor - even the gentry. But somewhere down the line, the arrogance of power led them to adopt narrow, sectarian politics and that is their undoing now."

Pradip Bose said of the results reasons that: "How could a communist government ask the police to fire on peasants as they did in Nandigram to set up a chemical industry. That has eroded their support amongst the rural poor and Mamata Banerji has gained by leading campaigns against the acquisitions." But according to the latest CBI reports, the then C.M. Buddhadev Bhattacharya was awarded a clean-chit for falsely-held allegations of Nandigram police firing against him and his party. Economist Bibek Debroy said that "The Communists were functioning within the parameters of Indian democracy but they tried to create a party whereby they could control all segments of Bengali society. They are paying dearly for their obsession for control because the fiercely independent Bengali middle class would take it no more." Ranabir Sammadar said that: "Within thirteen years of breaking away from the Congress and forming her Trinmool Congress, she has marginalized the Congress in Bengal as much as the communists now. That's a major achievement." Paula Banerji said of the win that it was a "demonstration of the political power of the Bengali women. Now Banerjee has done 'a Hasina' in our state. (''sic'') Both the Bengals will now be ruled by women and in Bangladesh, even the main opposition leader is a woman. The communists don't have a female leader of Banerji's stature and unless they find one, they cannot take her on."<ref name="aljaz"/>

==Analysis==
The election result was read as having a significant impact on the national political scene<ref>{{cite web|author=Web18 |url=http://www.firstpost.com/politics/election-scenarios-playing-the-%e2%80%98what-if%e2%80%99-game-9049.html |title=Election scenarios, playing the 'what if' game |publisher=Firstpost |date=2011-05-13 |access-date=2011-05-21}}</ref> as it effectively destroyed the importance of the CPI(M) in national politics.

The election marked the defeat of the 34-year rule of the CPI (M) government, thereby marking an end to the world's longest-serving democratically elected communist government.

==Plot==
[[Krishna]] sends his cousin, [[Satyaki]], to the [[Yavana]] king [[Kalayavana]] with a gift of a vessel containing a snake, indicating that he is playing with a snake. In retaliation, Kalayavana sends his twin, Mahodara, with the same vessel, filled with ants, symbolizing that even ants can kill a snake. Shockingly, it is still alive when Krishna admonishes him. Then, [[Narada]] tells the demon of Krishna's whereabouts, resulting in a cat-and-mouse chase. Kalayavana ends up in a dark cave and kicks a sleeping man he believes to be Krishna. The man turns out to be the former warrior king [[Muchukunda]], whose gaze can reduce he who wakes him up to ashes, thus killing Kalayavana.

Later, on Krishna's birthday, his [[Ashtabharya|eight wives]] present eight gems, to which Narada claims it would be better with [[Navaratna|one more]], implying that Krishna marry again, which Krishna agrees with.

Meanwhile, Mahodara succeeds Kalayavana and seeks vengeance on Krishna. However, Narada bars him and proclaims that he requires finesse, influencing him to perform an immense penance and acquire a boon from [[Shiva]] that he cannot be injured by any weapon unleashed by another person. With this boon, he becomes almost invincible and wreaks havoc over the universe, molesting many women. Seeing this, [[Brahma]] creates the beautiful Vasundhara, who as long as she wears a specific ring, will appear as a statue to all men, except her soulmate. Plus, after her wedding, if one tries to remove the ring, it will transform into a weapon and kill them. Brahma entrusts Narada to be her father and manage her marriage.

After Mahodara attempts to pursue Vasundhara, Narada brings her to Dwaraka under [[Rukmini]]'s protection and reveals the ring's secret to Rukmini, assuring her that Vasundhara will not attract Krishna's attention. Ironically Krishna is Vasundhara's soulmate and discovers her secret when she drops her ring. Vasundhara falls in love at first sight, to the apprehension of Rukmini and [[Satyabhama]], influencing the latter to lock the ring onto Vasundhara's finger.

Meanwhile, Narada encourages Mahodara to get married and reveals to him that Vasundhara is in Dwaraka, encouraging his conflict with Krishna and desire for Vasundhara. Krishna disguises himself as an old Brahmin and tells Mahodara that he is the father of Vasundhara, who Krishna kidnaped after he proclaimed Mahodara to be his future son-in-law. Krishna continues to disguise himself as Vasundhara and later Kalayavana to instigate Mahodara.

In Dwaraka, Krishna lulls Satyabhama to sleep, steals the key, frees Vasundhara, and the two romance in the garden. Satyabhama wakes up to find the key gone and discovers the affair in the garden. Parallelly, Mahodara provokes [[Paundraka Vasudeva]], a king who believes himself to be the real Krishna, who then imprisons and tortures [[Kuchela]] and his family, who refuse to believe he is their lord. Krishna hears his friend's pleas and heads to Pundra to defeat Vasudeva.

The furious Satyabhama then imprisons Vasundhara, who also pleas for her lover's help. After being torn between the two, Krishna decides to go to Pundra and kills Vasudeva. Mahodara then attacks the defenseless Dwaraka and abducts Vasundhara. Krishna returns to Mahodara in the form of the Brahmin and enters Vasundhara's chambers revealing himself and his secret plan to save them.

On the wedding day, Krishna (as the Brahmin) acts frustrated at the clueless Mahodara, performing the [[Hindu wedding#Key rituals|wedding rituals]] as if frustratingly showing Mahodara. Finally, while Mahodara is distracted reciting a mantra, Krishna goes to his original form and ties the [[mangala sutra]] around Vasundhara's neck. Realizing the betrayal, Mahodara goes to attack Krishna, but is astonished when he places the ring on Vasundhara's finger, and she becomes a statue. Believing it to be some of Krishna's mischievous illusions, he takes the ring off and grabs Vasundhara. As foretold, the ring transforms into a large [[Sudarshana Chakra|chakra]] and heads towards Mahodara, who is unafraid until Krishna reminds him that by taking off the ring, he, not another person, has unleashed the weapon, thus undefeated by Shiva's boon. Mahodara escapes with Vasundhara in his [[vimana]], but is eventually beheaded while Vasundhara falls out and is caught by Krishna on the ground.

Krishna and Vasundhara return to Dwaraka where Narada reveals to Satyabhama, Rukmini, and Vasundhara that her creation and life was all a ploy to defeat and kill Mahodara, to the disappointment and confusion of Vasundhara. Krishna then reveals that although this was the plan, the two are linked eternally, as she is the [[avatar]] of [[Bhudevi]], born as Vasundhara to defeat Mahodara.

Though the film was primarily in black-and-white, few scenes were filmed in colour too. This was Ramarao's 210th film as an actor. The film's art director Madhavapeddi Gokhale made a sketch of "each and every set prior to execution". He put in similar background work for all jewelry and costumes too, matching them to the character being portrayed by the person who wears them. Hema Malini initially refused to act in this film as she was busy with Hindi films, but agreed after seeing the sketches of her character and listening to the song. She decided to spare five sundays for the song due to her busy schedule and did it within a month's time.<ref>{{cite web |date=4 October 2006 |title=Articles: Movie Retrospect: Sreekrishna Vijayam (1971) |url=http://www.telugucinema.com/tc/movies/retro_SreekRshNavijayam.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070104004713/http://www.telugucinema.com/tc/movies/retro_SreekRshNavijayam.php |archive-date=4 January 2007 |access-date=22 May 2024 |work=[[Telugucinema.com]]}}</ref>

The place is called Uraiyur or Tirumukkeswaram, was once the capital of [[Chola]] kings as noted to Greek traveller [[Ptolemy]].<ref name=Ayyar/> Panchavarnaswamy, the presiding deity of the temple, derives its name from the word ''panchavarnam'', meaning five colours. As per Hindu legend, Shiva is believed to have appeared for sage Udanga in five different colours in five parts of the day. The temple is also called as "Tirumukeechwaram"(திருமூக்கீச்சரம்) or "Kozhi". The 7th century [[Saiva]] canonical work ''[[Tevaram]]'' by Tirugnanasambandar mentions the place as "Tirumukeechwaram".<ref name="dinamalar">{{cite web|title=Sri Panchavarneswarar temple|url=https://temple.dinamalar.com/en/new_en.php?id=153|publisher=Dinamalar|access-date=2013-05-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Soundara Rajan |first=Kodayanallur Vanamamalai |title=Concise classified dictionary of Hinduism|year=2001|publisher=Concept Publishing Company|location=New Delhi |isbn=81-7022-857-3|page=75|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lAWS49f8HKoC&q=uraiyur+temple&pg=PA75}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Siva temple of yore |url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2004/11/05/stories/2004110503201000.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050208020318/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2004/11/05/stories/2004110503201000.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 February 2005|date=4 November 2004|last=V.|first=Ganapathy|work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2013-09-09}}</ref>

As per Hindu legend, Shiva is believed to have appeared in five different colours and hence the presiding deity came to be known as Panchavarneswarar ("Lord of five colours"). [[Nagaraja]], the serpent king was carrying the images of five different [[Lingam]]s, which all got merged into one as the presiding deity at this temple. The temple is believed to have been worshipped by [[Garuda]], sage Kathiru and wife of sage [[Kashyapa]].<ref name=Ayyar>[[#Ayyar|Ayyar 1993]], pp. 438-9</ref>

Panchavarnaswamy temple complex has three ''[[prakaram]]s'' (outer courtyard) and a five-tiered ''raja[[gopuram]]'' (gateway tower). The central shrine faces east and holds the image of Panchavarnaswamy (Shiva) in the form of ''lingam'' made of granite. The granite images of the deities [[Ganesha]] (son of Shiva and god of wisdom), [[Murugan]] (son of Shiva and god of war), [[Nandi (bull)|Nandi]] (the bull and transport of Shiva) and [[Navagraha]] (nine planetary deities) are located in the hall leading to the sanctum. As in other Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, the first precinct or the walls around the sanctum of Panchavarnaswamy has images of [[Dakshinamurthy]] (Shiva as the Teacher), [[Durga]] (warrior-goddess) and [[Chandeshvara Nayanar|Chandikeswarar]] (a saint and devotee of Shiva). The second precinct is surrounded by granite walls.<ref name="dinamalar"/>

There are eight historical inscriptions in the temple, which are recorded by Epigraphy India as 181-188 of 1907. One of them dated the fourth year of a ruling Chola king records a gift of the village Atigunakapaganallur to the maintenance of the temple. The historical introduction of Chola king [[Rajendra Chola I]] can be traced in the inscription. Another inscription on the north wall of the presiding deity during the seventh year of [[Raja Raja Chola I]] mentions Rajasraya-Chaturvedimangalam in Uraiyur-kurram, a subdivision in Keralankata-Valanadu. The temple is mentioned as Udaiyar tiurndaitalai Mahadeva at Tiru-uraiyur.<ref name=Ayyar/>

The epigraph 51 of 1890 on a rock called Cholamparai near Uraiyur, mentions a record of Tribhuvanachakravartin Tribhuvanavira-Vikramadeva.<ref name=Ayyar/>

==Worship and Religious Practices==
[[File:Panchavarnaswamy1.jpg|200x200px|thumb|[[Pugal Chola|Pugazh Chola Nayanar]], associated with the temple has a shrine dedicated to him]]
The temple is counted as one of the temples built on the banks of [[River Kaveri]]. The presiding deity is revered in the 7th century Tamil Saiva canonical work, the ''[[Tevaram]]'', written by Tamil saint poets known as the [[Nayanars]] and classified as ''[[Paadal Petra Sthalam]]''.<ref name=Ka>{{cite book|title=River Cauvery the most battl(r)ed|last=Ka.

The temple priests perform the ''[[Puja (Hinduism)|puja]]'' (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. Like other Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the [[Shaiva]] sect that considers Shiva as the Supreme God.

The worship is held amidst music with ''[[nagaswaram|nadasvaram]]'' (pipe instrument) and ''[[tavil]]'' (percussion instrument), religious instructions in the [[Vedas]] (sacred texts) read by priests and prostration by worshippers in front of the temple mast. There are weekly rituals like ''{{lang|te-Latn|somavaram}}'' (Monday) and ''{{lang|te-Latn|sukravaram}}'' (Friday), fortnightly rituals like ''[[pradosha]]m'' and monthly festivals like ''[[amavasya|amavasai]]'' (new moon day), ''kiruthigai'', ''[[pournami (festival)|pournami]]'' (full moon day) and ''sathurthi''.<ref name="dinamalar"/>

===Nano Server===
Microsoft announced a new installation option, Nano Server, which offers a minimal-footprint headless version of Windows Server. It excludes the graphical user interface, [[WoW64]] (support for 32-bit software) and [[Windows Installer]]. It does not support [[system console|console]] [[login]], either locally or via [[Remote Desktop Connection]]. All management is performed remotely via [[Windows Management Instrumentation]] (WMI), [[Windows PowerShell]] and Remote Server Management Tools (a collection of web-based GUI and command line tools).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/nanoserver/2016/02/09/introducing-server-management-tools/ |title=Introducing Server management tools |publisher=Microsoft |work=Nano Server Blog |first=Kriti |last=Jindal |date=February 9, 2016}}</ref> However, in Technical Preview 5, Microsoft has re-added the ability to administer Nano Server locally through PowerShell. According to Microsoft engineer Jeffrey Snover, Nano Server has 93% lower [[VHD (file format)|VHD]] size, 92% fewer critical security advisories, and 80% fewer reboots than Windows Server.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Neil |first1=Mike |title=Microsoft Announces New Container Technologies for the Next Generation Cloud |url=https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/hybridcloud/2015/04/08/microsoft-announces-new-container-technologies-for-the-next-generation-cloud/ |work=Server & Cloud Blog |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |date=April 8, 2015 |access-date=September 27, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160927211740/https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/hybridcloud/2015/04/08/microsoft-announces-new-container-technologies-for-the-next-generation-cloud/ |archive-date=September 27, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Snover |first1=Jeffrey |last2=Mason |first2=Andrew |last3=Back |first3=Alan |title=Microsoft Announces Nano Server for Modern Apps and Cloud |url=https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2015/04/08/microsoft-announces-nano-server-for-modern-apps-and-cloud/ |work=Windows Server Blog |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |date=April 8, 2015 |access-date=July 24, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160819105044/https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2015/04/08/microsoft-announces-nano-server-for-modern-apps-and-cloud/ |archive-date=August 19, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Nano Server is only available to [[Microsoft Software Assurance]] customers<ref name=GA-date /> and on cloud computing platforms such as [[Microsoft Azure]] and [[Amazon Web Services]].

==Development==
Microsoft has been reorganized by [[Satya Nadella]], putting the Server and [[Microsoft Servers#Microsoft System Center|System Center]] teams together. Previously, the Server team was more closely aligned with the Windows client team. The [[Microsoft Azure|Azure]] team is also working closely with the Server team.<ref name="Networkworld">{{cite web|last1=Patrizio|first1=Andy|title=Microsoft to release next generation of Windows Server in 2016|url=https://www.networkworld.com/article/935472/microsoft-to-release-next-generation-of-windows-server-in-2016.html|website=[[Network World]]|publisher=[[IDG]]|date=February 10, 2015|access-date=April 10, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240426190517/https://www.networkworld.com/article/935472/microsoft-to-release-next-generation-of-windows-server-in-2016.html|archive-date=April 26, 2024|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Public release ===
Windows Server 2016 was officially released at Microsoft's Ignite Conference on September 26, 2016. Unlike its predecessor, Windows Server 2016 is licensed by the number of [[CPU core]]s rather than number of [[CPU socket]]s—a change that has similarly been adopted by [[Microsoft BizTalk Server|BizTalk Server 2013]] and [[Microsoft SQL Server|SQL Server 2014]].<ref name=ars-2016license>{{cite web|first=Peter|last=Bright|title=Windows Server 2016 moving to per core, not per socket, licensing|url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/windows-server-2016-moving-to-per-core-not-per-socket-licensing/|website=[[Ars Technica]]|publisher=[[Condé Nast]]|access-date=December 5, 2015|date=December 4, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151204182323/https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/windows-server-2016-moving-to-per-core-not-per-socket-licensing/|archive-date=December 4, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> The new licensing structure that has been adopted by Windows Server 2016 has also moved away from the Windows Server 2012/2012R2 CPU socket licensing model in that now the amount of cores covered under one license is limited. Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter core licensing now covers a minimum of 8 core licenses for each physical processor and a minimum of 16 core licenses for each server. Core licenses are sold in packs of two with Standard Edition providing the familiar rights to run 2 virtualized OS environments. If the server goes over 16 core licenses for a 2 processor server additional licenses will now be required with Windows Server 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/2/9/7290EA05-DC56-4BED-9400-138C5701F174/WS2016LicensingDatasheet.pdf|title=Windows Server 2016 Licensing Datasheet - Microsoft|last=Microsoft|date=2017|website=Microsoft|access-date=October 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171026013454/https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/2/9/7290EA05-DC56-4BED-9400-138C5701F174/WS2016LicensingDatasheet.pdf|archive-date=October 26, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Technical Preview 5===
The fifth and last technical preview of Windows Server 2016 was made available on April 27, 2016. Its version number was 10.0.14300. Its highlights include:<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn765472(v=ws.12).aspx |title=TechNet: What's New in Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 5 |access-date=April 27, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160603155613/https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn765472(v=ws.12).aspx |archive-date=June 3, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref>
* Mostly general refinements. Greater time accuracy in both physical and virtual machines
* Container support adds performance improvements, simplified network management, and support for Windows containers on [[Windows 10]]
* Nano Server: an updated module for building Nano Server images, including more separation of physical host and guest virtual machine functionality as well as support for different Windows Server editions. Improvements to the Recovery Console, including separation of inbound and outbound firewall rules as well as the ability to repair configuration of WinRM
* Networking: traffic to new or existing virtual appliances can now be both mirrored and routed. With a distributed firewall and Network security groups, this enables dynamically segmented and secure workloads in a manner similar to [[Microsoft Azure|Azure]]. One can deploy and manage the entire Software-defined networking (SDN) stack using System Center Virtual Machine Manager. Docker can be used to manage Windows Server container networking, and associate SDN policies not only with virtual machines but containers as well
* Remote Desktop Services: a highly available RDS deployment can leverage Azure SQL Database for the RD Connection Brokers in high availability mode
* Management: ability to run PowerShell.exe locally on Nano Server (no longer remote only), new Local Users & Groups cmdlets to replace the GUI, added PowerShell debugging support, and added support in Nano Server for security logging & transcription and JEA (Just Enough Administration)
* Shielded Virtual Machines:
** New "Encryption Supported" mode that offers more protections than for an ordinary virtual machine, but less than "Shielded" mode, while still supporting vTPM, disk encryption, Live Migration traffic encryption, and other features, including direct fabric administration conveniences such as virtual machine console connections and Powershell Direct
** Full support for converting existing non-shielded Generation 2 virtual machines to shielded virtual machines, including automated disk encryption
** Shielded virtual machines are compatible with Hyper-V Replica

===Release to manufacturing===
Windows Server 2016 was released to manufacturing on September 26, 2016, bearing the version number of 10.0.14393 (same as [[Windows 10 Anniversary Update]]). Microsoft added the following final touches:

==Plot==
{{Long plot|date=February 2021}}
The kingdom's chief minister wants his son to marry the king's daughter, Princess Vidyadhare. When he expresses his wish to the king, he is ridiculed. Instead, the king orders him to search for a "Sakala Vidya Paarangatha" groom for his daughter. Vowing to take revenge against the insult, the minister goes in search of a foolish groom.

Kalidasa, a humble shepherd is shown rearing his sheep. Convinced of his stupidity, the minister charms Kalidasa to accompany him to the palace, so that Kalidasa can marry the princess. Coached by the minister, Kalidasa excels in the tests conducted by Vidyadhare ([[Jaya Prada]]). The minister is shrewd enough to teach a key sentence to Kalidasa. If he can't answer a question, Kalidasa must utter "heluvudakku, keluvudakku, idu samayavalla" ("This isn't the right time to question or answer.")

Vidyadhare is fooled by Kalidasa's brilliance and marries him. However, the truth comes out during the first night. Shattered, Vidyadhare locks Kalidasa in the palace temple and gets him to demand "vidyaabuddhi" (knowledge and wisdom) from the goddess [[Kali]]. In a mystical scene, Vidyadhare loses consciousness, Goddess Kali appears and blesses Kalidasa with vidyabuddhi, who composes the ''Shyamala Dandakam'' song in praise of the goddess. Kalidasa is shown walking away from the palace-temple, implying his casting off his earlier ignorance and walking away from his previous life. Vidyadhare regains consciousness and goes in search of her husband.

Kalidasa, now a renowned poet, is one of the [[astadiggajas]] (eight great poets including [[Daṇḍin]]) in the court of King Bhoja ([[Srinivasa Murthy]]), much to the ire of the elder poet [[Musuri Krishnamurthy]]. Bhoja pleads with his dear friend Kalidasa to write a ''charama geethe'' (funeral song) for him. Kalidasa refuses since Bhoja is sure to die once he hears the song. Vidyadhare assumes the name Kaladhare, rests at a prostitute Ratnakala's home and catches Kalidasa's attention. Vidyadhare is pleased to see her husband, but Kalidasa is unaware of his former life. Kalidasa composes his best work ''[[Abhignaanashaakuntala|Abhignaana Shaakuntala]]'' with romantic interests on Vidyadhare.

Bhoja can't bear the fact that his aptamitra (an intimate friend) Kalidasa is in the company of a prostitute. The differences lead to Kalidasa parting ways with Bhoja and walking out of his court. Dimdima kavi, who is blessed with a dindima from the goddess [[Saraswati]], throws a literary challenge to Bhoja's ashtadiggajas, asking them to complete his shloka with the answer. Bhoja recalls his friend, when none can answer the question, kamale kamlotpattitih (lotus is born in a lotus). Shamed Bhoja announces that he will donate half of his kingdom to anyone who solves the puzzle. Ratnakala gets the answer from Kalidasa and poisons him. She walks into royal court, to claim half kingdom. She answers, "Eye lotuses in the face lotus of my lady."

Dimdima kavi, who could silence herds of laureates with his dimdima, catches her fault, asking when she is a lady, how can she say "my lady." He announces that other than Kalidasa no one can answer this puzzle. Bhoja rushes the guards to Kalaadhare's house, only to find the dead body of Kalidasa. Bhoja also learns the truth from Vidyadhare: Kalidasa was her husband. Bhoja pledges to Vidyadhare that he'll get her husband back to her and prays to the goddess Kali to donate his half life to Kalidasa. When Kalidasa awakens, Bhoja hides himself and tricks him to sing "''charama geethe''." Bhoja dies once his friend has completed the song.

The onus is now on Kalidasa to get his friend back to life; the only way is the divine intervention. He prays his heart out to the goddess Kali, who is touched by the love and affection Kalidasa and Bhoja bestow on each other. The goddess blesses both Kalidasa and Bhoja with long lives. The movie ends with Kalidasa reuniting with Vidyadhare.

==Plot==
Stephen Louis ([[Jayasurya]]) is a [[quadriplegic]] by birth who is immensely rich and believes in celebrating each moment of life. Despite being able to move only his neck, he loves to see beautiful things and aspires to celebrate life. He is assisted by his manager, Kamalu ([[Nandu (Malayalam actor)|Nandu]]), and his caretaker/driver, Karunan (Jayan), in a palatial house in [[Fort Kochi]]. As most of his relatives look to take advantage of his position, Stephen has kept all of them at bay, barring his cousin, Alex ([[Tini Tom]]), with whom he shares a good relationship.

John ([[Anoop Menon]]), a musician at a hotel, enters his life. John's nature is completely opposite to Stephen's. He is always worried about the future. Though poles apart in their attitudes, both enjoy a good friendship and try to make each other happy. During this, they realize that they were childhood friends. But with the arrival of a beautiful home nurse named Anjali ([[Meghana Raj]]), the attitudes of both friends towards their lives turn around.

The movie takes unexpected twists and turns and Anjali finally turns out to be Alex's mistress. Her real name is Annie. She had come to Stephen's residence undercover to poison him and to steal his wealth, with Alex, who had taken advantage of Stephen's openness with him. Unfortunately, John, who last visited Stephen before his poisoning, was blamed. After the police take John away, Alex's maid recognizes him and Anjali at the hospital where Stephen was dying of poisoning. The police let go of John and arrest Alex and Anjali. Surprisingly, Stephen survives and the friends live together happily.

==Production==
Anoop Menon says the film was inspired by a real-life incident, the persisting memory of his quadriplegic childhood friend.<ref name=Express>{{cite web|last=Sudhish |first=Navamy |title=Anoop Menon, on 'Beautiful' |url=http://expressbuzz.com/entertainment/interviews/anoop-menon/340813.html |work=[[The New Indian Express]] |accessdate=9 December 2011 }}{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The film started its shooting in [[Kochi]] in September 2011.

Moral anarchy is the religion of the film's characters as they come out with volatile statements regarding marriage and loyalty. The casual reference to marital infidelity mouthed by Praveena's character in the film has irked many, but Anoop insists that he was just being realistic while penning the lines. "Even the films that come under the realistic tag hardly handle such subjects in an honest and transparent manner. We camouflage the reality with flashy elements so that you don't have to confront it openly. All my women characters are bold and I believe today's women are daring enough to discuss such stuff," he says.<ref name=Express/>

The major portion of the movie was filmed in Bastion Bungalow in [[Fort Kochi]], Kerala.<ref>[http://veekshanam.com/content/view/14740/39/ "വി.കെ പ്രകാശിന്റെ 'ബ്യൂട്ടിഫുള്‍' ഉടനെത്തും "] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423074642/http://veekshanam.com/content/view/14740/39/ |date=23 April 2012 }}.

The film's songs and background score were composed by [[Ratheesh Vegha]] and arranged by Gopi Sundar. Parvathy S. Nair from ''[[The Times of India]]'' stated, "Ratheesh Vega has done it again.

''Beautiful'' was Anoop Menon's debut work as a lyricist. Menon says his debut as a lyricist was quite accidental. "On the second day of the shooting of Beautiful, music director Ratheesh Vega, actor Jayasurya, and I were chilling out in Ratheesh's car, when he asked me to pen some lines to try out a tune he'd composed for the film. The result is Mazhaneer Thullikal...," says the actor.

It is the Army's [[Udhampur]]-based part of the [[Northern Command (India)|Northern Command]].<ref>{{citation |last=Malik |first=General V.

It also guards the [[Siachen Glacier]].

== History ==
The 3rd Division was established in 1962 during the [[Sino-Indian War]], from elements of HQ [[Nagaland]] and remained as an [[Eastern Command (India)|Eastern Command]] reserve, even though it almost always remained on CI duty.<ref>Ravi Rikhye and Mandeep Bajwa, www.orbat.com mainpage, 4 August 2010</ref> After nearly 30 years existence in the East, the division left the area about two decades ago for [[Ladakh]] and never returned. While on CI duty, the division was pulled out and sent to fight suspected Pakistani infiltrators in the Matayan-Dras sectors. Afterwards, when HQ XIV Corps was raised, it took over the 3rd and 8th Division.

During the [[Kargil War]] it consisted of 56th Mountain Brigade, usually stationed at [[Matayan]], 79th Mountain Brigade, usually stationed at [[Dras]], and 192nd Mountain Brigade.<ref name="Bajwa" />

The Changthang Prahar Exercise, an Integrated Exercise of all Arms in Super High Altitude Area, was conducted in September 2019.<ref>{{Cite tweet|user=NorthernComd_IA|number=1173894507856662529|title=#LtGenRanbirSingh, #ArmyCdrNC visited Eastern Ladakh & witnessed Integrated Exercise of all Arms in Super High Altitude Area; complimented all ranks for outstanding display of war fighting capability under challenging conditions. / @adgpi @SpokespersonMoD @PIB_Indiapic.twitter.com/HZEFAj1wkT|last=NorthernComd.IA|date=2019-09-17|language=en|access-date=2019-09-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite tweet|user=NorthernComd_IA|number=1174300497726951426|title=Glimpses of "Ex Changthang Prahar" - All Arms Integrated Exercise at #EasternLadakh; employment of Mech Forces with force multipliers integrating high tech platforms; witnessed by #LtGenRanbirSingh, #ArmyCdrNC / @adgpi / @SpokespersonMoD / @PIB_Indiapic.twitter.com/UBr8jb1eFe|last=NorthernComd.IA|date=2019-09-18|language=en|access-date=2019-09-20}}</ref>

During the [[Sino-Indian border dispute|Sino-Indian Border Dispute]], the XIV Corps engaged in discussions with Chinese division commanders regarding the Depsang bulge standoff in eastern Ladakh. Despite multiple diplomatic talks and Corps Commander-level negotiations, Chinese troops obstructed access to critical patrolling points, prompting the Indian Army to prepare for a prolonged presence, including winter stocking of troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Mayank |date=2020-08-09 |title=Border row: India, China hold Major General-level talks on disengagement process |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/Aug/08/border-row-india-china-hold-major-general-level-talks-on-disengagement-process-2180919.html |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-16 |title=India-China border dispute {{!}} Disengagement can take a while: Army and Govt say process intricate, complex |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-china-border-lac-dispute-talks-army-govt-6509359/ |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

{{Short description|Titular position of authority for a year}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=December 2018}}
{{Use Indian English|date=December 2018}}
The '''Sheriff of Madras''' was an apolitical titular position of authority bestowed for one year on a prominent citizen of Madras. The post was abolished in 1998.

The position of Sheriff of Madras was created in the Madras Charter of 1726 which came into force on 17 August 1727. As the executive arm of the Jurisdiction the sheriff was sworn in for a period of one year to carry out such duties as the summoning of people to the High Court, the provision of jurors, the attaching and sealing of properties and, if required, the arranging of their auction. The sheriff had an office and staff and in the order of precedence ranked just below the mayor. From the mid-1800s the position lost its powers and responsibilities and became primarily ceremonial.<ref name= ONM>{{cite book|title=Tales of Old and New Madras|first=s|last=Muthiah}}</ref>

[[Sheriff of Mumbai|Mumbai]] (Bombay) and [[Sheriff of Kolkata|Kolkata]] (Calcutta) continue (2017) to maintain their similar posts.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}

'''Bevan Ernest Congdon''' {{post-nominals|country=NZL|OBE}} (11 February 1938 – 10 February 2018) was a New Zealand cricket [[all-rounder]] who played 61 [[Test cricket|Test matches]] and 11 [[One Day International]]s from 1965 to 1978, which included a two-year spell as captain.<ref name="death">{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22387998/former-new-zealand-captain-bevan-congdon-dies |title=Former New Zealand captain Bevan Congdon dies | work=ESPN Cricinfo| date=10 February 2018| access-date=10 February 2018}}</ref>

==Captaincy==
Congdon was captain of the New Zealand Test and ODI team from 1972 to 1974, and was the first New Zealand captain to record a victory over [[Australian cricket team|Australia]].<ref name="vic">{{cite news|title=New Zealand's great day of fulfilment|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketer/content/story/142361.html |access-date=12 October 2014 |work=espncricinfo|date=13 March 1974}}</ref> Congdon was principally a batsman but also became a useful medium-pace bowler midway through his career. The Test captaincy brought out his best cricket: before becoming captain he had played 31 Tests and scored 1,569 runs at an average of 26.59 and had taken 12 wickets, but during his 17 Tests as captain he scored 1,067 runs at 41.03 and took 33 wickets.<ref>Matthew Appleby, ''New Zealand Test Cricket Captains'', Reed, Auckland, 2002, p. 96.</ref>

Congdon's finest moments in Tests included the tour of [[New Zealand cricket team in England in 1973|England in 1973]] when he scored 176 at [[Trent Bridge]] and 175 at [[Lord's]] in successive Tests, and the determined foray by the Kiwis to the [[New Zealand cricket team in the West Indies in 1971–72|West Indies in 1972]], when he took over the captaincy from [[Graham Dowling]]. In the Trent Bridge match, New Zealand chased 479 in the final innings, falling short by only 38 runs. At the time, this was a Test record for a highest score in the fourth innings to lose a match. The innings at Lord's contributed to New Zealand making 551, their highest score in Tests at the time.

In 1975, Congdon became the first New Zealand batsman to score an ODI century at [[Basin Reserve]]. The second one was scored by [[Kane Williamson]], 43 years later, on 6 January 2018 against Pakistan.

Asked afterwards how he prepared for Test cricket in his remote, intemperate [[South Island]] hometown, he replied that net pitches in [[Motueka]] prepared one for anything.

==Honours==
In the [[1975 New Year Honours (New Zealand)|1975 New Year Honours]], Congdon was appointed an [[Officer of the Order of the British Empire]], for services to cricket.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=46446 |date=1 January 1975 |page=38 |supp=3}}</ref>

{{Indian name|Venkatraman|Sozhavanthan Varadharajan}}'''Sozhavanthan Varadharajan Venkatraman''' ([[Tamil language|Tamil]]: சோழவந்தான் வரதராஜன் வெங்கட்ராமன்) (25 April 1911 – 7 April 1998), also known as '''SVV''', was an Indian actor, singer, and music director, who was active in the [[Indian film industry]] from 1938 to the 1970s.

Venkatraman composed the music for ''[[Meera (1945 film)|Meera]]'', starring [[M. S. Subbulakshmi]]. He also composed music for more than 200 [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]], [[Kannada]], [[Malayalam]], and [[Hindi]] films.

==Early life==
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2013}}
Sozhavanthan Varadharajan Venkatraman was born on 25 April 1911, to Varadharajan Iyer and Lakshmi Ammal. When he was three years old, his father died, and his uncle took responsibility for his upbringing. He displayed an aptitude for music from an early age, & his school education ended after the fourth standard.

To pursue his passion for music he went to [[Chintadripet]], [[Madras]]. There the head of a drama troupe heard him singing, and offered Venkatraman a job as a stage artist/singer/musician. Venkatraman learnt to play the [[Pump organ|harmonium]], but had no formal training in [[Carnatic music]].

Since then these 3 districts have been divided into more districts.]]
'''Abujhmarh''' is a hilly forest area, spread over {{convert|4000|km2}} in [[Chhattisgarh]], covering [[Narayanpur district]], [[Bijapur district, Chhattisgarh|Bijapur district]] and [[Dantewada district]]. It is home to indigenous [[tribes of India]], including [[Gond people|Gond]], [[Muria people|Muria]], Abujhmarhia, Madiya, and [[Halba (tribe)|Halba]]. It was only in 2009 that the [[Government of Chhattisgarh]] lifted the restriction on the entry of common people in the area imposed in the early 1980s. Geographically isolated and largely inaccessible, the area continues to show no physical presence of the civil administration, and is also known as "liberated-zone" as it is an alleged hub of [[Naxalite-Maoist insurgency]], the banned [[Communist Party of India (Maoist)]] and its military wing, People's Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA), who run a parallel government in the area.<ref name=expambush>{{cite news |title=Maoists butcher|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/maoists-butcher/601245/0|quote=the so-called liberated zone, including the Abujhmarh hills... |newspaper=Indian Express |date=7 April 2010 |accessdate=2 June 2013}}</ref><ref name=teh/>

In 2007, the area was proposed as a [[Biosphere reserves of India#Potential sites|biosphere reserve]] by [[Ministry of Environment and Forests (India)|Ministry of Environment and Forests]], Government of India.

==Etymology==
The word {{Transliteration|hi|hunterian|abujhmarh}} means "the unknown hills" ({{Transliteration|hi|hunterian|abujh}} means 'unknown' and {{Transliteration|hi|hunterian|marh}} means 'hill') in the [[Gondi language]] native to the region.<ref name=teh>{{cite magazine |title=Inside Abujhmarh The Mythic Citadel |url=http://tehelka.com/inside-abujmarh-the-mythic-citadel/ |author=Tusha Mittal |date=12 May 2012 |volume=9 |issue=19 |magazine=Tehelka |accessdate=1 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130424043542/http://tehelka.com/inside-abujmarh-the-mythic-citadel/ |archive-date=24 April 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Prasad1996">{{cite book|author=R.

Abujhmarh has been termed as "liberated zone", as due to its inaccessibility it remained untouched by any government presence and civil administration for the past 60 years and has developed a stronghold of [[Naxalite-Maoist insurgency|Naxal-Maoist insurgents]] of the banned [[Communist Party of India (Maoist)]], which ran a parallel government, known as ''Janta Sarkar'' (People's government).

== Background ==
The [[blackbuck]], also known as the Indian antelope or [[Chinkara]], is an [[Endangered species|endangered]] species protected under the [[Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972]]. The [[Bishnoi|Bishnoi community]], a religious sect found in parts of [[Rajasthan]], [[Haryana]], and [[Punjab]], reveres the blackbuck and has a long-standing tradition of protecting wildlife.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Nandini |title=Why blackbucks are more than just animals to the Bishnoi community |url=https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/why-blackbucks-are-more-than-just-animals-to-the-bishnoi-community-124101500845_1.html |access-date=15 January 2025 |website=Business Standard}}</ref>

== Incident ==
In September 1998, while filming of ''[[Hum Saath-Saath Hain]]'' in Rajasthan, [[Salman Khan]] and his co-stars [[Saif Ali Khan]], [[Sonali Bendre]], [[Neelam Kothari|Neelam]], and [[Tabu (actress)|Tabu]] were accused of hunting two [[Blackbuck|blackbucks]] in Kankani village near [[Jodhpur]]. Members of the [[Bishnoi]] community filed a complaint against these actors, leading to their arrest. Salman Khan was charged under Section 51 of the [[Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972]], while the other actors faced charges of unlawful assembly under the [[Indian Penal Code]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

== Legal proceedings ==
In September 1998, during the filming of the Bollywood movie ''[[Hum Saath-Saath Hain|Hum Saath Saath Hain]]'' in Rajasthan, actors [[Salman Khan]], [[Saif Ali Khan]], [[Sonali Bendre]], [[Neelam Kothari|Neelam]], and [[Tabu (actress)|Tabu]] were accused of poaching two [[Blackbuck|blackbucks]] in Kankani village, near [[Jodhpur]]. The incident occurred while the actors were on location for the film. Following the alleged hunting of the protected species, members of the [[Bishnoi|Bishnoi community]], who regard the blackbuck as sacred, filed a complaint on 2 October 1998.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Salman Khan's old video talking about the blackbuck case resurfaces: 'I wasn't the one..' |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/htcity/cinema/salman-khan-s-old-video-talking-about-the-blackbuck-case-resurfaces-i-wasn-t-the-one-101729581956885.html |website=Hindustan Times}} ''Back in 1998, Salman Khan along with his co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu and Sonali Bendre was accused of hunting down blackbucks in a village of Rajasthan while shooting for their film Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999).''</ref><ref name=":1" />

On 12 October 1998, [[Salman Khan]] was arrested in connection with the alleged hunting of two [[Blackbuck|blackbucks]], an endangered species. Following his arrest, Khan was granted bail.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=2022-03-22 |title=1998-2022 Salman Khan blackbuck poaching case: A recap of events spanning over two decades |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/1998-2022-salman-khan-blackbuck-poaching-case-a-recap-of-events-spanning-over-two-decades/articleshow/90373213.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2025-01-15 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref>

In April 2006, a trial court found [[Salman Khan]] guilty under the [[Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972|Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972]], for the illegal hunting of two [[Blackbuck|blackbucks]], an endangered species, in Rajasthan. The court sentenced Khan to five years of imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹25,000. However, Salman Khan appealed the verdict, and in subsequent years, the case underwent various legal challenges and developments.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Salman gets 5 yrs for poaching and sent to Jodhpur jail |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060411/main1.htm |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=The Tribune |archive-date=2021-03-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210323164455/https://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060411/main1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

In August 2007, [[Salman Khan]] appealed to the Jodhpur court against his conviction in the blackbuck poaching case. However, the court rejected the appeal and upheld the five-year imprisonment sentence. Shortly thereafter, the [[Rajasthan High Court]] intervened and suspended the five-year sentence, allowing Khan to remain out of prison pending further legal proceedings. However, as part of the conditions for his release, the court ordered that Khan obtain formal permission from the court before undertaking any foreign travel.<ref name=":0" />

In 2012, a bench of the [[Rajasthan High Court]] framed charges against all the accused in the blackbuck poaching case, including [[Salman Khan]]. Khan was charged under Section 9/51 of the [[Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972|Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972]], for the illegal hunting of the endangered species. However, in November 2013, Justice Nirmal Jeet Kaur of the [[Rajasthan High Court]] stayed the five-year imprisonment sentence that had been imposed on Khan by the lower court in 2006. This stay was granted to allow [[Salman Khan]] to apply for a UK visa for a film shoot.<ref>{{Cite web |title=High Court stays Salman's conviction, paves way for UK visa |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/high-court-stays-salmans-conviction-2294169 |access-date=15 January 2025 |website=Deccan Herald}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-11-13 |title=High Court stays Salman Khan's conviction,paves way for UK visa |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/high-court-stays-salman-khans-conviction-paves-way-for-uk-visa/ |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=The Indian Express |language=en |archive-date=2015-05-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150503200200/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/high-court-stays-salman-khans-conviction-paves-way-for-uk-visa/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In January 2015, the [[Supreme Court of India]] revoked the stay order issued by the [[Rajasthan High Court]] on Salman Khan's five-year imprisonment sentence, which had been imposed by a lower court in 2006. The Supreme Court ruled that a person's conviction should not be stayed simply because they were seeking an international visa.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Salman Khan Can't Travel to Britain Because of This Supreme Court Order |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/salman-khan-cant-travel-to-britain-because-of-this-supreme-court-order-726928#:~:text=New%20Delhi:%20Actor%20Salman%20Khan,to%20get%20a%20British%20visa. |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=www.ndtv.com |language=en |archive-date=2020-03-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200319044347/https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/salman-khan-cant-travel-to-britain-because-of-this-supreme-court-order-726928#:~:text=New%20Delhi:%20Actor%20Salman%20Khan,to%20get%20a%20British%20visa. |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Actor Salman Khan, Seeking UK Visa, Rebuked by Supreme Court |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/actor-salman-khan-seeking-uk-visa-rebuked-by-supreme-court-689120 |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=www.ndtv.com |language=en |archive-date=2022-08-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812152853/https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/actor-salman-khan-seeking-uk-visa-rebuked-by-supreme-court-689120 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On 25 July 2016, the [[Rajasthan High Court]] acquitted actor Salman Khan in the 1998 black buck poaching case, citing insufficient evidence to prove that the deceased blackbucks were killed by a firearm owned or used by Khan.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bothra |first=Dinesh |title=Rajasthan high court acquits Salman Khan in Chinkara poaching cases |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/rajasthan-high-court-acquits-salman-khan-in-chinkara-poaching-cases/story-tzvGmoZVZX4gyZRTNxZ3OO.html |access-date=15 January 2025 |website=Hindustan Times |date=25 July 2016 |archive-date=8 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181008014750/https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/rajasthan-high-court-acquits-salman-khan-in-chinkara-poaching-cases/story-tzvGmoZVZX4gyZRTNxZ3OO.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2016-07-25 |title=Bollywood's Salman Khan freed in poaching case |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36881171 |access-date=2025-01-15 |work=BBC News |language=en-GB}}</ref> Following this decision, the [[Government of Rajasthan|Rajasthan government]] appealed the acquittal in the [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] in October 2016. Subsequently, the Supreme Court agreed to fast-track the trial, with proceedings set to move forward in November 2016.

On 5 April 2018, a Jodhpur court sentenced [[Salman Khan]] to five years in prison and imposed a penalty of ₹10,000 in connection with the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. However, the other four accused, [[Saif Ali Khan]], [[Sonali Bendre]], [[Tabu (actress)|Tabu]], and [[Neelam Kothari]], were acquitted.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2018-04-05 |title=Salman Khan gets 5 years in jail: The personal, professional life of superstar who was a bad boy |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/salman-khan-gets-5-years-in-jail-the-personal-professional-life-of-superstar-who-was-a-bad-boy/story-0Dha9xUEkGJbWkaD5hWaGP.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240705054917/https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/salman-khan-gets-5-years-in-jail-the-personal-professional-life-of-superstar-who-was-a-bad-boy/story-0Dha9xUEkGJbWkaD5hWaGP.html |archive-date=2024-07-05 |access-date=2025-01-15 |work=Hindustan Times |language=en-us |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2018-04-05 |title=Salman Khan gets 5-year jail term |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/salman-khan-gets-5-year-jail-term/article61869668.ece |access-date=2025-01-15 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=5 April 2018 |title=Bollywood star sentenced to five years in prison for poaching antelope |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/04/05/reformed-bollywood-bad-boy-salman-khan-convicted-of-poaching-deer-after-20-years/ |access-date=15 January 2025 |newspaper=The Washington Post |archive-date=7 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230307141900/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/04/05/reformed-bollywood-bad-boy-salman-khan-convicted-of-poaching-deer-after-20-years/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Following the verdict, [[Salman Khan]] was granted bail on 7 April 2018 by the Jodhpur Sessions Court, under the bench of Justice Joshi.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-04-07 |title=Salman Khan walks out of jail, bail in blackbuck case caps 2 days of drama in Jodhpur |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/salman-khan-walks-out-of-jail-bail-in-blackbuck-case-caps-2-days-of-drama-in-jodhpur-1207028-2018-04-07 |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=India Today |language=en |archive-date=2024-02-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240224191201/https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/salman-khan-walks-out-of-jail-bail-in-blackbuck-case-caps-2-days-of-drama-in-jodhpur-1207028-2018-04-07 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2018-04-07 |title=Salman Khan, Bollywood superstar, bailed in poaching case |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-43680900 |access-date=2025-01-15 |work=BBC News |language=en-GB}}</ref>

The '''Kanh''' is a river flowing through [[Indore]], the largest city in the Indian state of [[Madhya Pradesh]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=जागरण स्पेशल: इंदौर ने लिखी नदी पुनर्जीवन की नई कहानी |url=https://www.jagran.com/madhya-pradesh/indore-kahn-and-saraswati-river-revived-in-indore-jagran-special-22543336.html |access-date=2023-04-18 |website=Dainik Jagran |language=hi}}</ref> The river started carrying sewage in the early 1990s.

The river, along with the [[Saraswati River (Madhya Pradesh)|Saraswati River]], is a part of the [[Indore Municipal Corporation#Smart City Indore|Smart City Indore]] project, and a riverfront spanning 3.9 kilometres has already been developed along the river.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://smartnet.niua.org/content/e3236777-2cb8-4177-a8c1-368c02eae4a9|title="Riverfront Development – Indore"|author=[[National Institute of Urban Affairs]]|accessdate=April 4, 2021}}</ref> Both the rivers are being rejuvenated under the Smart Cities Mission.<ref name=":1" />

== Etymology ==
The name Kanh is a cognate of [[Krishna|Kanha]], a major hindu deity, acquired after [[Schwa deletion in Indian languages|schwa deletion]].

Corruptions of the name include Kahn and Khan.

==Pollution and environmental concerns==
Kanh has faced massive pollution due to the flow of sewage from industries. As an additional load, the household drainage is also dumped into the Kanh without any purification or cleaning.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.catchnews.com/india-news/the-story-of-kahn-a-river-swallowed-by-the-spreading-city-of-indore-1486579608.html|title=The story of Kanh: A river swallowed by the spreading city of Indore|website=CatchNews.com|access-date=12 December 2018}}</ref>

==Rejuvenation==
In 2015, the Indian government announced the [[Smart Cities Mission]]. Indore successfully qualified in its Phase-1, and it ranked eleventh in the list released by Union Minister [[Venkaiah Naidu]] (MoUD), becoming one of the first twenty cities to be developed as a 'Smart City'.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/list-of-first-20-smart-cities-under-smart-cities-mission/article8162775.ece|title=List of first 20 smart cities under Smart Cities Mission|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=February 16, 2016}}</ref> An amount of Rs 39 crores had been spent till 2020 on the Kanh and Saraswati riverfront development, marking the completion of five out of eight stages of the riverfront's development.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/indore/smart-city-spends-rs-660-cr-in-indores-development|title="Smart City spends Rs 660 cr in Indore's development"|publisher=[[The Free Press Journal]]|accessdate=April 4, 2021}}</ref>

In 2023 the Union government sanctioned Rs. 511.15 Crore for the cleaning of the Kanh and Saraswati rivers, under the '[[Namami Gange Programme]]’. Constructions undertaken using these funds are expected to be completed in the next two years.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-02-24 |title=511 cr for pollution check in city rivers |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/indore/511-cr-for-pollution-check-in-city-rivers/articleshow/98194971.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2023-02-24 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

==Course==
Kanh rises from the Kakri Bardi hills which is also the source of the [[Shipra River]]. It later joins [[Saraswati River (Madhya Pradesh)|Saraswati]], which further joins Shipra, then [[Chambal River|Chambal]], then [[Yamuna]] and finally into the [[Ganga river]].<ref name=":0" />

== Life ==
Kamakodiyan, born Srinivasan, was a native of [[Madurai]]. He later left for Madras (now [[Chennai]]) and stayed with his cousin K. S. Madhangan, then an aspiring film director. At that time, Srinivasan wrote poems for magazines, catching Madhangan's attention. He gave him the [[pen name]] Kamakodiyan, derived from the saint [[Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham]]. Madhangan eventually made his directorial debut with ''[[Ponnagaram]]'' (1980), and Kamakodiyan debuted in the same film with the music composed by [[Shankar–Ganesh]]. He went on to write lyrics for numerous films with music by [[M. S. Viswanathan]], [[Ilaiyaraaja]] and [[Chandrabose (composer)|Chandrabose]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 January 2023 |title=காமகோடியன்: பூஞ்சிட்டுக் குருவிகளின் காதலன்! |url=https://kamadenu.hindutamil.in/cinema/kamakodian-lover-of-the-sparrows |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240304053953/https://kamadenu.hindutamil.in/cinema/kamakodian-lover-of-the-sparrows |archive-date=4 March 2024 |access-date=4 March 2024 |website=[[Kamadenu (magazine)|Kamadenu]] |language=ta}}</ref> He wrote a book called ''Mellisai Mannar MSV um Naanum''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 March 2020 |title=கவிஞர் காமகோடியனின் நூல் எம்எஸ்வி உடனான அன்பின் பொக்கிஷம் வெளியீட்டு விழாவில் தொழிலதிபர் நல்லி குப்புசாமி புகழாரம் |url=https://www.hindutamil.in/news/tamilnadu/543246-businessman-nally-kupusamy.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240528031047/https://www.hindutamil.in/news/tamilnadu/543246-businessman-nally-kupusamy.html |archive-date=28 May 2024 |access-date=27 May 2024 |website=[[Hindu Tamil Thisai]] |language=Ta}}</ref> He was awarded [[Kalaimamani]] in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |date=20 February 2021 |title=TN govt releases Kalaimamani awardees list |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2021/Feb/20/tn-govt-releases-kalaimamani-awardees-list-2266396.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240418014301/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2021/Feb/20/tn-govt-releases-kalaimamani-awardees-list-2266396.html |archive-date=18 April 2024 |access-date=27 May 2024 |website=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref>

== Style ==
Kamakodiyan would write lyrics as the tune was being composed, and would work in tandem with the composer. He lamented changes in the 21st century, where lyricists receive the complete recorded tune via cassette and are asked to write lyrics, but do not work closely with the composer.<ref>{{Cite web |date=29 May 2015 |title=மூன்று தலைமுறை கவிஞன் நான்! - காமகோடியன் |url=http://cinema.dinamalar.com/tamil-news/32275/cinema/Kollywood/I-am-trigeneration-lyricist--:-Kamakodiyan.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170925104820/http://cinema.dinamalar.com/tamil-news/32275/cinema/Kollywood/I-am-trigeneration-lyricist--:-Kamakodiyan.htm |archive-date=25 September 2017 |access-date=4 March 2024 |website=[[Dinamalar]] |language=ta}}</ref>
