{{Tamil Festivals}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Karadaiyan Nonbu&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Tamil language|Tamil]]: காரடையான் நோன்பு) is a [[Hindu festival]] celebrated by Tamil women. It is observed for the longevity and welfare of their husbands and for those seeking virtuous husbands. It is marked on the first day of the month of [[Panguni]] in the Tamil calendar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legend ==&lt;br /&gt;
The festival is rooted in the legend of [[Savitri and Satyavan]] from the Hindu epic [[Mahabharata]]. According to the legend, Savitri was a devoted princess who used her wit and devotion to reclaim the life of her husband, Satyavan, from [[Yama]], the god of death. When Satyavan&#039;s destined time to die arrived, Savitri followed Yama as he carried her husband&#039;s soul away. Impressed by her persistence and eloquent arguments, Yama offered her several boons, excluding the life of her husband. For her final wish, Savitri requested that she be blessed with a hundred sons. When Yama granted the wish, Savitri pointed out that she could not fulfill this blessing without her husband being alive. Bound by his own word, Yama was forced to restore Satyavan to life.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Arun|first1=Sharma|title=Karva Chauth for South India today|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Karva-Chauth-for-South-India-today/articleshow/5681088.cms|access-date=15 March 2018|ref=Times of India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Observances==&lt;br /&gt;
Married women mark this occasion by praying to the goddess [[Parvati]] for the well-being of their husbands, seeking that they are never separated.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Jones |first=Constance |url= |title=Encyclopedia of Hinduism |last2=Ryan |first2=James D. |date=2006 |publisher=Infobase Publishing |isbn=978-0-8160-7564-5 |pages=399 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They also observe a [[vrata]] (fast) on this day. Before the auspicious time begins, women perform ritual purifications, draw [[kolam]] in front of their [[Puja (Hinduism)|puja]] rooms, and offer a dish made of rice flour and jaggery to the goddess called an adai.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last1=Athira|first1=M|title=Slice of tradition|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/Food/feast-of-flavours-at-food-fete-organised-by-brahmana-sabha/article8257263.ece|access-date=15 March 2018|work=The Hindu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women ritually wear a yellow thread around their necks called a saradu for their husbands&#039; longevity during this occasion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=2026-03-14 |title=Karadaiyan Nombu 2026: Date, time, rituals and significance |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/religion/festivals/karadaiyan-nombu-2026-date-time-rituals-and-significance/articleshow/129533982.cms |access-date=2026-03-16 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Humayun Mosque&#039;&#039;&#039;, also known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Kachpura Masjid&#039;&#039;&#039; and as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Humayun Masjid&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a former [[mosque]], in a partial ruinous state, located in the village of Kachhpura in [[Agra]], [[Fatehabad, Uttar Pradesh|Fatehabad]], in the state of [[Uttar Pradesh]], India on the left bank of [[River Yamuna]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Alfieri |first=Bianca Maria |title=Islamic Architecture of the Indian Subcontinent |publisher=Lawrence King Publishing |year=2000 |isbn=9781856691895 |page=188}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The former mosque is a [[Monuments of National Importance (India)|Monument of National Importance]], administered by the [[Archaeological Survey of India]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_alphalist_uttarpradesh_agra.asp |title=List of Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains of Agra |date= |publisher=[[Archaeological Survey of India]] |access-date=2016-11-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721180402/http://www.asi.nic.in/asi_monu_alphalist_uttarpradesh_agra.asp |archive-date=21 July 2011 |url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Though the former mosque was not been mentioned in texts related to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal era]], it is the only monument in Agra that can undoubtedly be attributed to the reign of [[Humayun]]. According to one inscription on the mosque, the mosque was constructed in {{AH|937|link=yes}},{{efn|One source claims that the mosque was built in 1565 CE by Haji Begum, a wife of [[Akbar]], in memory of her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg, and that the mosque was named after Akbar&#039;s father, Humayun.&amp;lt;ref name=agra/&amp;gt;}} when Humayun ascended the throne.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Asher |first=Catherine B. |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/chol9780521267281 |title=Architecture of Mughal India |date=1992-09-24 |publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-26728-1 |page=34}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to another inscription, in &#039;&#039;[[Nastaliq]]&#039;&#039; characters,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://connectingheritage.com/site/site-detail/2508 |title=Humayun Masjid |work=Connecting Heritage |date=2025 |access-date=13 March 2025 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; it named Shaikh Zain of Khaf, a scholar and a friend of [[Babur]], as the person who commissioned construction of the mosque.&amp;lt;ref name=archnet&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.archnet.org/sites/3997 |title=Kachpura Masjid |work=ArchNet |date=n.d. |access-date=13 March 2025 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is claimed that the mosque was built on the site of a former [[Jain temple]]; and that the former mosque was designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, a famous Mughal architect.&amp;lt;ref name=agra/&amp;gt;{{reliable source|date=March 2025}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Architecture==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[façade]] of the former mosque bears five arches, the central of which is a high [[iwan]]. A dome tops the central nave, and is supported on kite-shaped pendentives and net squinches. There are double-aisled wings on either side of the central nave. The smaller domes of the side wings had similar supports. The building is made of brick and [[limestone]],{{efn|One source claims it was built of [[red sandstone]].&amp;lt;ref name=agra&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://agratourism.in/humayun-mosque-agra |title=Humayun Mosque, Agra |work=Agra Tourism |date= |access-date=13 March 2025 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} and covered with [[stucco]] work.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The former mosque is in ruins, with only the main prayer hall intact. The southern wing has collapsed entirely making it difficult to determine how many [[Bay (architecture)|bays]] originally composed the double-aisled north and south wings. It is thought that the side wings were once covered with eight [[cupola]]s. Influenced by [[Timurid dynasty|Timurid]] architecture, the arch of the central bay is twice the width of the two arches flanking it.&amp;lt;ref name=archnet/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

== Government formation ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the elections, the BJP emerged as the single largest party winning 79 of the 224 seats. However, the [[Indian National Congress]] with 65 members and the [[Janata Dal (Secular)]] with 58 members formed a coalition to run the government. [[Dharam Singh]] of the Congress was sworn in as the [[List of Chief Ministers of Karnataka|Chief Minister]] on 28 May 2004.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Dharam Singh to be sworn in CM today|url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/05/28/stories/2004052814470100.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040927142612/http://www.hindu.com/2004/05/28/stories/2004052814470100.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 September 2004|accessdate=29 October 2010|date=28 May 2004|work=[[The Hindu]]|location=Chennai, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, in early 2006, the JD(S) withdrew its support to the government and instead forged an alliance with the BJP. A new government was formed with [[H. D. Kumaraswamy]] of the JD(S) as Chief minister and [[B. S. Yeddyurappa]] of the BJP as his deputy.&amp;lt;ref name=debut&amp;gt;{{cite news| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4676612.stm | title = BJP makes southern Indian debut | accessdate = 2008-06-04 | date = 2006-02-03| work = [[BBC Online]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Joseph and Aparna with their two children, symbolise a modern nuclear family. Joseph&#039;s son, Ajoy, often gets into a lot of trouble at school and his father Joseph, a mild-tempered business man scolds him. The working and quarreling parents, having no time to spare with the kids, lead the children to hide things away from them for the fear of getting scolded. The children, at first, take into solving problems by themselves but later it goes out of their hands. Ajoy takes a flight to escape the wrath of everyone and finally, lands in the middle of a deep forest. The story later revolves around the quest for Ajoy whereby his parents realise their mistakes and unite to find him. The two children are the film&#039;s main characters and are based on a real-life incident. Sub Inspector R. Gopakumar is a police officer who comes to enquire about the missing Ajoy. The film portrays the weak bonds in the modern nuclear families and also the attitude of the school authorities which put the students under pressure against even minute mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{translation|Miss Madam}}) is a 1955 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[romantic comedy]] film directed by [[L. V. Prasad]]. Produced by [[B. Nagi Reddy]] and [[Aluri Chakrapani]]{{&#039;s}} [[Vijaya Vauhini Studios]], the script was adapted by Chakrapani from the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] play &#039;&#039;Manmoyee Girls School&#039;&#039; by Rabindranath Maitra. &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039; also focused on social issues such as unemployment, corruption, and [[Freedom of religion in India|freedom of worship]]. &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039; tells the story of two unemployed people of different religions and mentalities: Balu and Mary. They pose as a married couple to obtain jobs in a high school founded by Gopal, the [[zamindar]] of Aandipettai. As Balu and Mary fall in love, Gopal&#039;s nephew Raju (an amateur detective) learns that Mary is Gopal&#039;s missing elder daughter Mahalakshmi; she is unaware of her true identity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Production began in early 1954. The film was [[List of multilingual Indian films|simultaneously shot]] in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] as &#039;&#039;[[Missamma]]&#039;&#039;, with an altered cast. [[P. Bhanumathi]] was originally cast as the female lead, with [[Gemini Ganesan|R. Ganesh]] playing the male lead. After a dispute with Bhanumathi, Chakrapani replaced her with [[Savitri (actress)|Savitri]]. [[K. A. Thangavelu]], [[Jamuna (actress)|Jamuna]], [[S. V. Ranga Rao]], [[Rushyendramani]], and [[K. Sarangapani]] were cast in supporting roles while [[M. N. Nambiar]] was cast as the antagonist. C. P. Jambulingam and Kalyanam edited the film; [[Marcus Bartley]] was the cinematographer, and [[S. Rajeswara Rao]] composed the music.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Principal photography]] took place in and around Madras (now [[Chennai]]) and [[Wrap (filmmaking)|wrapped]] in December 1954. &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039; was released in theatres on 14 January 1955, two days after &#039;&#039;Missamma&#039;&#039;. Both versions were commercially successful, completing 100-day theatrical runs. The bilingual film brought recognition to its cast and studio. [[AVM Productions]] remade the film in [[Hindi]] as &#039;&#039;[[Miss Mary (1957 film)|Miss Mary]]&#039;&#039; in 1957, with Ganesan reprising his role.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Zamindar runs a school in the village &#039;&#039;Aandipettai&#039;&#039;. He wants to replace the existing teacher with someone with higher qualification. He decides to appoint a husband and wife couple as head master and wife. When he advertised in the papers, a Hindu young man who is looking for a job wants to apply for it. But he is not married. By circumstances he meets an unmarried young girl who is looking for a way to earn some money to set off a loan taken by her father. But she is a Christian. However, the young man and young woman come to an understanding and present themselves as husband and wife to the Zamindar. He appoints them as headmaster and teacher. The young woman also teaches music to the Zamindar&#039;s daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zamindar and his wife lost their elder daughter 15 years ago in a temple festival. In fact, he named the school after the lost child, Mahalakshmi. Now the young woman teacher reminds them of their elder daughter and they shower love on her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A nephew of the Zamindar who is a self-styled detective, takes it upon himself to search and find the missing child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After some confusion and much banter, it  comes to light that the young woman teacher is actually the lost child of the Zamindar. The family re-unites. The young man and the young woman who came pretending as husband and wife marry each other and become real couple at the end.&lt;br /&gt;

According to Swarnavel Eswaran Pillai&#039;s 2015 book &#039;&#039;Madras Studios&#039;&#039;, speculation about Savitri&#039;s real-life romance with Ganesan played a key role in the success of the film.{{Sfn|Pillai|2015|p=228}} A postage stamp commemorating Ganesan was introduced in Chennai in February 2006 by [[Dayanidhi Maran]] (the-then [[Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (India)|Minister of Communications and Information Technology]]) and &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039; was shown for the occasion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=26 February 2006 |title=Postage stamp on Gemini Ganesan released |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/postage-stamp-on-gemini-ganesan-released/article3183905.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160327025830/http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/postage-stamp-on-gemini-ganesan-released/article3183905.ece |archive-date=27 March 2016 |access-date=26 March 2016 |work=[[The Hindu]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The February 1955 issue of &#039;&#039;[[Kumudam]]&#039;&#039; called &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;an interesting film with quality humor&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;In the beginning one is uneasy as to how the love affair of a Christian heroine and a Hindu hero is going to be retooled for a comedy&amp;quot;, but Prasad &amp;quot;has used every difficult situation as an opportunity for boundless humor&amp;quot;.{{Sfn|Pillai|2015|p=227}} It praised the &amp;quot;moonlit sequence&amp;quot; and Bartley&#039;s cinematography, and the magazine &#039;&#039;Gundoosi&#039;&#039; described Savitiri&#039;s acting as &amp;quot;the best so far&amp;quot;.{{Sfn|Pillai|2015|p=238}} In &#039;&#039;L.V.

Theodore Baskaran]] commented on Ganesan&#039;s career best performances and found the one in &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039; a &amp;quot;delightful&amp;quot; one; he added that the film was a &amp;quot;charming&amp;quot; one which provided breakthrough to Ganesan and Savitri in Tamil cinema.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Baskaran |first=S.

According to film historian [[Film News Anandan]], &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039;{{&#039;s}} success inspired filmmakers to cast different actors for different versions of their films.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last=Suganth |first=M. |date=10 September 2011 |title=Multilingual dreams |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Multilingual-dreams/articleshow/9933173.cms |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220619231108/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Multilingual-dreams/articleshow/9933173.cms?referral=PM |archive-date=19 June 2022 |access-date=1 April 2016 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 23 January 1955, a 19-year-old woman gave birth to a baby in the Roxy Theatre in Madras while watching &#039;&#039;Missiamma&#039;&#039;.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Silent Valley National Park&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[national park]] in [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It is located in the [[Nilgiri hills]] and has a core area of {{convert|89.52|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}. It is surrounded by a buffer zone of {{convert|148|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}. This national park has some rare species of flora and fauna. Silent Valley National Park was explored in 1847 by the botanist [[Robert Wight]].&amp;lt;ref name=Kumar1/&amp;gt; It is located in the border of [[Mannarkkad]] Taluk of [[Palakkad district]], [[Nilambur]] Taluk of [[Malappuram district]], [[Kerala]], and [[Nilgiris district]] of [[Tamil Nadu]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is located in the rich biodiversity of [[Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve]]. The [[Karimpuzha Wildlife Sanctuary]], [[New Amarambalam Reserved Forest]], [[Karulai|Nedumkayam]] Rainforest in [[Nilambur]] Taluk of [[Malappuram district]], [[Attappadi]] Reserved Forest in [[Mannarkkad]] Taluk of [[Palakkad district]], and [[Mukurthi National Park]] of [[Nilgiris district]] are located around Silent Valley National Park. [[Mukurthi]] peak, the fifth-highest peak in South India, and [[Anginda peak]] are also located in its vicinity. The [[Bhavani River]], a tributary of the [[Kaveri River]], and [[Kunthipuzha River]], a tributary of [[Bharathappuzha]] river, originate in the vicinity of Silent Valley. The [[Kadalundi River]] also originates in Silent Valley National Park.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The national park is one of the last undisturbed tracts of [[South Western Ghats mountain rain forests]] and [[tropical moist evergreen forest]] in India. Contiguous with the proposed [[Karimpuzha National Park]] ({{convert|225|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}) to the north and [[Mukurthi National Park]] (78.46&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;) to the north-east, it is the core of the [[Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve]] (1,455.4&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;), and is part of the Nilgiri Sub-Cluster (6,000&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;), [[Western Ghats]] [[World Heritage Site]], recognised by [[UNESCO]] in 2007.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;UNESCO&amp;quot; &amp;gt;{{cite web | title = Research: UNESCO, World Heritage sites, Tentative lists, Western Ghats sub cluster, Niligiris |year=2007 |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/2103/ | publisher =[[UNESCO]] | access-date = 2007-10-18}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plans for a [[hydroelectric]] project that threatened the park&#039;s [[biodiversity]] stimulated an [[Environmentalism|environmentalist]] social movement in the 1970s, known as the [[Save Silent Valley]] movement, which resulted in cancelling the project and creating the park in 1980. The visitors&#039; centre for the park is at Sairandhri.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve.jpg|thumb|Map of Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve, showing Silent Valley National Park in relation to multiple contiguous protected areas]]&lt;br /&gt;
The first Western investigation of the [[Drainage basin|watershed]]s of the Silent Valley area was in 1857 by the botanist [[Robert Wight]].&amp;lt;ref name=Kumar1&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last=Kumar |first=N. S. |title=Silent Valley: Trekking through the Amazon of India |journal=Corporate House Journal of Indian Oil Corporation Limited |volume=XXXXI |pages=15–16 |date=2004 |url=http://www.iocl.com/news1/newnews/IOCNews_August_2004.pdf&lt;br /&gt;

Another story attributes the name to the anglicisation of Sairandhri. A third story refers to the presence of many lion-tailed macaques &#039;&#039;[[Macaca silenus]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Krishnan |first=V. |date=2007 |title=Into the Jungle |publisher=[[Sunday Express]] &lt;br /&gt;

In 1914, the forest of the Silent Valley area was declared a [[reserve forest]]. Between 1927 and 1976, portions of the Silent Valley forest area were subjected to [[forestry]] operations. In 1928, the location on the [[Kunthipuzha]] River at Sairandhri was identified as an ideal site for [[electricity generation]], and in 1958 a study and survey of the area was conducted and a hydroelectric project of 120 MV costing Rs. 17 crore was proposed by the [[Kerala State Electricity Board]].&amp;lt;ref name=Gledhill1/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main|Save Silent Valley}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Lion-tailed macaque by N A Nazeer.jpg|thumb|[[Lion-tailed macaque]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
Silent Valley is home to the largest population of [[lion-tailed macaque]]s, an [[endangered species]] of [[primate]]. Public concern over threats to their habitat led to the establishment of Silent Valley National Park.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1973, the valley became the focus of &amp;quot;Save Silent Valley&amp;quot;, India&#039;s fiercest [[Environmentalism|environmental]] movement of the decade, when the [[Kerala State Electricity Board]] decided to implement the Silent Valley Hydro-Electric Project (SVHEP), centered on a [[dam]] across the [[Kunthipuzha|Kunthipuzha River]]. The resulting reservoir would flood 8.3&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; of virgin [[rainforest]] and threaten the lion-tailed macaque. In 1976, the Kerala State Electricity Board announced plans to begin dam construction and the issue was brought, to public attention. [[Romulus Whitaker]], founder of the [[Chennai Snake Park|Madras Snake Park]] and the [[Madras Crocodile Bank Trust|Madras Crocodile Bank]], was probably the first person to draw public attention to the small and remote area.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | title = Storm over Silent Valley, A Peoples Movement Saves A Valley | publisher=Ministry of Environment and Forests (India) |url = http://envfor.nic.in/divisions/ic/wssd/doc3/chapter18/css/Chapter18.htm &lt;br /&gt;
| access-date =2007-10-18 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 7 September 1985 the Silent Valley National Park was formally inaugurated and a memorial at Sairandhri to Indira Gandhi was unveiled by [[Rajiv Gandhi]], her son and the next prime minister. On 1 September 1986 Silent Valley National Park was designated as the core area of the [[Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve]]. Since then, a long-term conservation effort has been undertaken to preserve the Silent Valley [[ecosystem]].&amp;lt;ref name=Gledhill1&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last = Gledhill | first = Laurence | date = 1996 | title = Silent Valley - A masterplan for The Indian Ex-situ Population of Lion-tailed Macaques, Macaca silenus and A Historical Profile of Habitat Conservation in Kerala, India | journal = Newsletter for the Old World Monkey Taxon Advisory Group | volume = 3 | issue = 2 | quote = Reprinted from the 1995 Proceedings of the Joint Conference of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, the Wildlife Disease Association, and the American Association of Wildlife Veterinarians | publisher = American Zoo and Aquarium Association |url=http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/news/journals/owmtag.3.2.html | access-date =2007-10-18 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In 2001 a new hydro project was proposed and the &amp;quot;Man vs. Monkey debate&amp;quot; was revived.  The proposed site of the dam (64.5 m high and 275 m long) is just 3.5&amp;amp;nbsp;km downstream of the old dam site at Sairandhiri, 500 m outside the National Park boundary.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | last = Kumar | first = K.G. | title = Silent Valley redux?&lt;br /&gt;

=== Buffer zone ===&lt;br /&gt;
Territorial forests located around the national park have been subject to a working-plan to accomplish revenue oriented objectives such as extraction of bamboo and reed which affect the long-term conservation of the park.{{Cn|date=February 2023}} In addition, illegal activities such as ganja (&#039;&#039;[[Cannabis sativa]]&#039;&#039;) cultivation has caused habitat degradation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hindu3/12/06&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 21 November 2009, Union Minister of Forest and Environment [[Jairam Ramesh]] and Kerala Forest Minister Binoy Viswam declared, while inaugurating the silver jubilee celebration of Silent Valley National Park in Palakkad,  that the buffer zone of the Park would be made an integral part of it in order to ensure better protection of the area.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prabhakaran&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/article57836.ece|title=A rainforest&#039;s saga of survival|last=Prabhakaran|first=G. |date=2009 |work=The Hindu, Op-Ed|publisher=Kasturi and Sons Ltd|access-date=27 December 2009|location=Chennai}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 6 June 2007 the Kerala cabinet approved the buffer zone proposal. The new 147.22&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; zone will include 80.75&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; taken from Attapady Forest Range, 27.09&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; from Mannarkkad Forest Range and 39.38&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; from Kalikavu Forest Range and consolidated to form a new range, Bhavani Forest Range, of 94&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and 54&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; would be brought under the existing Silent Valley Range of the National Park. The Cabinet also sanctioned 35 staff to protect the area and two new forest stations in Bhavani range at Anavai and Thudukki. Forest Minister Benoy Viswom said &amp;quot;the zone would have reserve forest status and tribals in the area would not be affected. The decision reaffirmed the commitment of the [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|LDF]] Government to protection of environment. The zone is a necessity, not just of the State but also of the nation.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | title = Cabinet approves buffer zone for Silent Valley&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The proposal was then sent to Kerala Minister for Electricity, [[A. K. Balan]], who has voiced the need for setting up the [[Pathrakadavu Waterfalls|Pathrakadavu hydroelectric project]] in the proposed southwest buffer zone of the National Park, the Thenkara Range of the Mannarkkad Forest Division.

In August 2006, the new Minister for Forests, [[Benoy Viswam]], approved a proposal from the Conservator of Forests for a 148&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; buffer zone around the core area of the park. The proposal says: &amp;quot;It is felt absolutely essential that an effective buffer of forests should be immediately formed around the national park in order to save the world famous Silent Valley National Park from all potential dangers. This can only be achieved by bringing the management of Silent Valley National Park as well as the proposed buffer zone under one management umbrella to insulate the park from all possible dangers.&amp;quot; The proposed buffer zone will have 94&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; in Attappady Reserve Forest east of the Kunthipuzha and 54&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; taken from the Mannarkaad range and Nilambur south division west of the river.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2006, the former Kerala Minister for Forest and Environment, [[A. Sujanapal]], said the Government would consider the demand for a 600&amp;amp;nbsp;km&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; buffer zone for Silent Valley National Park made by Bharathapuzha Protection Committee, Malampuzha Protection Committee, One Earth One Life and Jana Jagratha.

[[File:Silentvalley bridge.JPG|thumb|Hanging Bridge across the Kuntipuzha River – Silent Valley National Park (SVNP)]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Silent Valley-topo.jpg|thumb|Silent Valley National Park&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Topography 1:250,000., 1959&#039;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Silent Valley is rectangular, twelve kilometres from north to south and seven from east to west. Located between 11°03&#039; to 11°13&#039; N (latitude) and 76°21&#039; to 76°35&#039; E (longitude) it is separated from the eastern and northern high altitude [[plateau]]s of the ([[Nilgiris (mountains)|Nilgiris Mountains]]) by high continuous ridges including [[Sispara|Sispara Peak]] (2,206 m) at the north end of the park. The park gradually slopes southward down to the [[Palakkad]] plains and to the west it is bounded by irregular ridges. The altitude varies from 658 m to 2328 m at [[Anginda peak|Anginda Peak]], but most of the park lies within the altitude range of 880 m to 1200 m. Soils are blackish and slightly acidic in evergreen forests where there is good accumulation of organic matter. The underlying rock in the area is [[granite]] with [[schist]]s and [[gneiss]], which give rise to the loamy [[laterite]] soils on slopes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book | last1 = Unnikrishnan | first1 = P.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Rivers===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Kunthipuzha River]] [[Drainage basin|drains]] the entire 15&amp;amp;nbsp;km length of the park from north to south into the [[Bharathapuzha]] River. Kunthipuzha River divides the park into a narrow eastern sector of width 2 kilometers and a wide western sector of 5 kilometers. The river is characterized by its crystal clear water and perennial nature. The main [[tributaries]] of the river, Kunthancholapuzha, Karingathodu, Madrimaranthodu, Valiaparathodu and Kummaathanthodu originate on the upper slopes of the eastern side of the valley. The river is uniformly shallow, with no flood plains or meanders. Its bed falls from 1,861 m to 900 m over a distance of 12&amp;amp;nbsp;km, the last 8&amp;amp;nbsp;km being particularly level with a fall of only 60 m. Kunthipuzha is one of the less torrential rivers of the Western Ghats, with a pesticide-free catchment area.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;UNEP&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | title= Silent Valley National Park | author= [[United Nations Environment Programme]]&#039;s [[World Conservation Monitoring Centre]]&lt;br /&gt;

===Climate===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Silentvalley sat.PNG|thumb|right|Silent Valley from JPL Map server.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Silent Valley gets copious amounts of [[Precipitation (meteorology)|rainfall]] during the [[monsoon]]s, but the actual amount varies within the region due to the varied [[topography]]. In general, rainfall is higher at higher altitudes and decreases from the west to the east due to the [[rain shadow]] effect. Eighty per cent of the rainfall occurs during the [[south-west monsoon]] between June and September. The park also receives a significant amount of rainfall during the [[north-east monsoon]] between October and November.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |year=2006 |title=Nilambur-Silent Valley-Coimbatore, Perspective for the Reserve  |author=ANCF |publisher=Asian Nature Conservation Foundation  |url=http://asiannature.org/nilambur.php  |access-date=2007-03-26 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The park being completely enclosed within a ring of hills, has its own [[micro-climate]] and probably receives some [[Convectional precipitation|convectional rainfall]], in addition to rain from the two monsoons.  In the remaining months, [[condensation]] on vegetation of [[mist]] shrouding the valley is estimated to yield 15 per cent of the total water generated in the rainforest.&amp;lt;ref name=autogenerated1&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/2009/11/09/stories/2009110960171400.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091112093213/http://www.thehindu.com/2009/11/09/stories/2009110960171400.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2009-11-12 |title=Monsoons shower a bounty on Silent Valley|last=Prabhakaran|first=G.|date=2009 |pages=Front Page|newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=3 December 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, the Walakkad area of the park received the highest ever annual rainfall of 9,569.6&amp;amp;nbsp;mm. In 2000, the figure was 7,788&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; in 2001, 8,351.9&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; in 2004, 8465.3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; and in 2005, 9,347.8&amp;amp;nbsp;mm. The annual rainfall received in the valley (at Sairandhri?) was 7,788.8&amp;amp;nbsp;mm in 2000; 8,361.9&amp;amp;nbsp;mm in 2001. In 2002, 4,262.5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; in 2003, 3,499.65&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; in 2004, 6,521.27&amp;amp;nbsp;mm, in 2005, 6,919.38&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; in 2006, 6,845.05&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; in 2007, 6,009.35&amp;amp;nbsp;mm; and in 2008 it was 4386.5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm. The figure till October 2009 was 5,477.4&amp;amp;nbsp;mm. Average annual rainfall in the park between 2000 and 2008 was thus 6,066&amp;amp;nbsp;mm.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prabhakaran&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mean annual temperature is 20.2&amp;amp;nbsp;°C. The hottest months are April and May when the mean temperature is 23&amp;amp;nbsp;°C and the coolest months are January and February when the mean temperature is 18&amp;amp;nbsp;°C. Because of the high rainfall, the [[relative humidity]] is consistently high (above 95%) between June and December.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;UNEP&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The valley areas of the park are in a [[Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests]] [[Ecoregion]]. Hilly areas above 1,000 m are in the [[South Western Ghats montane rain forests]] region. Above 1,500 m, the evergreen forests begin to give way to stunted forests, called [[shola]]s, interspersed with open [[grassland]], both of which are of interest to [[ecologist]]s as the rich [[biodiversity]] here has never been disturbed by human settlements. Several threatened species are [[endemism|endemic]] here. New plant and animal species are often discovered here.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;UNEP&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
Rare bird species found here include the [[Ceylon frogmouth]] and [[great Indian hornbill]]. The 2006 winter bird survey discovered the [[long-legged buzzard]], a new species of raptor at [[Sispara]], the park&#039;s highest peak. The survey found 10 endangered species recorded in the [[IUCN Red List]] including the [[Chestnut-winged cuckoo|red winged crested cuckoo]], [[Malabar pied hornbill]] and [[Pallid harrier|pale harrier]]. The area is home to 15 endemic species including the [[black-and-orange flycatcher]]. It recorded 138 species of birds including 17 species that were newly observed in the Silent Valley area. The most abundant bird was the [[Square-tailed bulbul]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news &lt;br /&gt;

Distribution and demography of all diurnal [[primates]] were studied in Silent Valley National Park and adjacent areas for a period of three years from 1993 to 1996. Fourteen troops of lion-tailed macaque, eighty-five troops of [[Nilgiri langur]], fifteen troops of [[bonnet macaque]] and seven troops of [[Hanuman langur]] were observed. Of these, the Nilgiri langur was randomly distributed, whereas the lion-tailed macaque troops were confined to the southern sector of the Park. Bonnet macaques and Hanuman langurs were occasional visitors. The Silent Valley forest remains one of the most undisturbed viable habitats left for the endemic and endangered primates lion-tailed macaque and Nilgiri langur.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |last=Ramchandaran |first=K.K. |author2=Joseph, Gigi, K. |title=Distribution and demography of diurnal primates in Silent Valley National Park and adjacent areas, Kerala, India |journal = Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society |volume=98 |issue=2 |pages =191–196 |year=2001 |url=http://trophort.com/010/482/010482224.html |access-date = 2007-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927180028/http://trophort.com/010/482/010482224.html |archive-date=27 September 2007}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Genetic resources==&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout human history about 10% of the genetic stock found in the wild has been [[Breed|bred]] into palatable and higher yielding cereals, fruits and vegetables. Future [[food security]] depends on the preservation of the remaining 90% of the stock through protection of high biodiversity habitats like Silent valley.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web&lt;br /&gt;

An important example of use of wild [[germplasm]] is gene selection from the wild varieties of rice &#039;&#039;[[Oryza]] nivara&#039;&#039; (central India) &#039;&#039; and Oryza Pittambi&#039;&#039; found in Silent Valley for the traits of broad spectrum disease resistance in high yielding [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] [[rice]] varieties including IR-36, which are responsible for much of the [[Green Revolution]] throughout Asia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title        = A speech by HRH The Prince of Wales titled &#039;The Rainforest Lecture for Friends of the Earth&#039;, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew |publisher= princeofwales.gov.uk |date= 1990 |url= http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/speechesandarticles/a_speech_by_hrh_the_prince_of_wales_titled_the_rainforest_le_935867576.html |access-date= 2007-02-11 |archive-url  = https://web.archive.org/web/20071007144613/http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/speechesandarticles/a_speech_by_hrh_the_prince_of_wales_titled_the_rainforest_le_935867576.html |archive-date = 2007-10-07 |url-status= dead  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Challenges ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Forest fire===&lt;br /&gt;
Fire is one of the major threats facing forests in Kerala. People engaged in grazing livestock often burn an area to get fresh grass shoots for their cattle, especially during dry season when fire danger is greatest. Also, illicit activities like ganja cultivation, poaching, tree felling, non timber forest products (NTFP) collection and very often careless tourists and pilgrims are responsible for big forest fires.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |publisher=Kerala Forests &amp;amp; Wildlife Department |year=2004 |title=Threats to the forests of Kerala, Forest Fires  |url=http://www.keralaforest.org/html/general/threats.htm |access-date=2007-10-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928074024/http://www.keralaforest.org/html/general/threats.htm |archive-date=2007-09-28}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cannabis cultivation===&lt;br /&gt;
Silent Valley is home to some of India&#039;s largest illegal plantations of [[cannabis (drug)|cannabis]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Outlook|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LgIwAQAAIAAJ|year=2005|publisher=Hathway Investments Pvt Limited|page=138}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Cannabis is one of the traditional plantations in these forests and there are people who depend on &#039;Ganja economy&#039; for a livelihood.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Management in Government|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tO-YqakR_EwC|year=2007|publisher=Department of Administrative Reforms, Ministry of Home Affairs|page=92}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Tribes like [[Irula people|Irula]], [[Muduga]] and [[Kurumba (tribe)|Kurumba]] (particularly the last one) have always grown cannabis in their history.&amp;lt;ref name=outlookindia&amp;gt;[https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/stone-age/228711 Stone Age | Outlook India Magazine]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The seedless variety of cannabis cultivated in Silent Valley is known as &#039;&#039;Sairandhri&#039;&#039; and is renowned internationally for its quality.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ClarkeMerlin2013&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author1=Robert Clarke|author2=Mark Merlin|title=Cannabis: Evolution and Ethnobotany|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=poenY6QMq8UC&amp;amp;pg=PA295|date=1 September 2013|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-95457-1|pages=226–227}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to former additional chief secretary Madhava Menon, the cannabis cultivated here is one of the best in the world and is sold worldwide.&amp;lt;ref name=outlookindia/&amp;gt; The cannabis mafia has cut hundreds of acres of evergreen tropical forest in the Attappady Hills, including Silent Valley buffer zones, for illegal cultivation of the cash crop. The Forest Department had an ambitious plan to root out ganja cultivation from the Attappady forests by April 2006.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hindu3/12/06&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Maoist presence===&lt;br /&gt;
The ticket counter of the Silent Valley National Park at Mukkali was attacked by a group of Maoists in December 2014.  A big contingent of special police has been deployed there since then, but the growing influence of Maoist groups in tribal east Kerala is of grave concern.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/panic-grips-tribal-villages-in-silent-valley/article6752208.ece Panic grips tribal villages in Silent Valley – The Hindu&amp;lt;!-- Bot generated title --&amp;gt;]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Pudukkottai was a kingdom and later a [[princely state]] in [[British India]], existing from 1680 until 1948.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madras map 1913.jpg|thumb|1913 map of the [[Madras Presidency]] showing location of Pudukkottai State]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AugustusCoinPudukottaiHoardIndia.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Coin of the Roman emperor [[Augustus]] from the Pudukottai hoard ([[British Museum]]).]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Pudukkottai State|princely state of Pudukottai]] was created by [[Raghunatha Raya Tondaiman]] (1641–1730), who earlier had ruled [[Thirumayam]]. In appreciation of Tondaiman&#039;s services, [[Raghunatha Kilavan|Ragunatha Kilavan Setupati]] (r. 1671–1710) gave Pudukkottai to Tondaiman as an honor for his services. In later centuries, the Thondaiman rulers, while nominally feudatories of the [[Ramnad]] state, often pursued an independent foreign policy, a trend common in all parts of India at that time. After the death of Setupati, Thondaiman become ruler of Pudukottai.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Courts of Pre-Colonial South India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Gb1vRpDRzBsC&amp;amp;pg=PA115|page=115|last=Howes|first=Jennifer|publisher=Routledge|year=2012|isbn=9781135789961}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Thondaiman soon fought against the [[Thanjavur Nayak kingdom|Nayaks of Thanjavur]] in support of the [[Madurai Nayak dynasty|Nayaks of Madurai]] and conquered [[Thirukattupalli]], a very important place. A direct clash between Thondaiman and the Nayaks of [[Tanjore]] soon followed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=The New Cambridge History of India|last=Stein|first=Burton|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OpxeaYQbGDMC&amp;amp;pg=PA136|pages=136–138|isbn=9780521266932|year=1989|publisher=Cambridge University Press}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; From 1751-1752, The next ruler, [[Vijaya Raghunatha Raya Tondaiman I|Vijaya Raghunatha Raya Tondaiman]] (1713-1769), helped the Muslim Nawab of the [[Arcot|Carnatic Sultanate]] against [[Hyder Ali]], the ruler of [[Mysore]], who was loyal to the British Government. After some time, when Hyder Ali&#039;s army tried to enter Pudukkottai, Thondaiman&#039;s army defeated and drove Hyder&#039;s army away. Thondaiman then captured Kilanilai, Aranthangi and helped the British government against [[Tipu Sultan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pudukkotai eventually came under formal British protection. This was arguably unavoidable since the Thondaimans were much menaced in that period by a resurgent Mysore ruled by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. When Tipu Sultan sought to leverage the power of the [[France|French]] against his British adversaries, Pudukkotai, in common with its neighbors, such as [[Thanjavur]] and [[Travancore]], found it expedient to ally with the British.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|first=Nicholas B.|last=Dirks|title=The Hollow Crown: Ethnohistory of An Indian Kingdom|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|year=1987|isbn=0-521-32604-4|pages=66–67|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UP7vmkFSJhIC&amp;amp;pg=PA66}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Rajagopala Tondaiman|Raja Rajagopala Thondaiman]] (1928–1948), the last and ninth in the line of Thondaiman rulers, was selected by the British Government and was crowned when he was six years old. After Indian independence in 1947, the Pudukkottai Princely State was amalgamated with the Indian Union on 3 April 1948 and became a division in Tiruchirappalli District. The long history of the Thondaimans&#039; rule came to an end.&lt;br /&gt;

Pudukkottai became a [[Princely State of Pudukottai|princely state]] of [[British India]] under the political authority of [[Madras Presidency]]. The state had an area of 4663 Sq.miles and in 1901, a population of 380,000. The Rajas of Pudukkotai were entitled to a 17-gun salute. The last Thondaiman raja of Pudukkottai acceded to newly-[[Independence of India|independent]] India in 1948, and the state became a division of the [[Trichinopoly District]] of [[Madras State]]. The state was reorganized twice in the succeeding decade, taking its present form in 1956; it was renamed Tamil Nadu in 1968. On 14 January 1974, the present [[Pudukkottai District]] was formed from parts of Tiruchirappalli and [[Thanjavur District|Thanjavur]] districts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Formation And Transformation of Power in Rural India|pages=26–28|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jimnj2GjmhcC&amp;amp;pg=PA37|publisher=Discovery Publishing House|year=1996|last=V.|first=Annamalai|isbn=9788171413232}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Born on 17 March 1940 in the Indian state of [[West Bengal]], Samaresh Mitra graduated in chemistry from the [[Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University]] and completed his master&#039;s degree form the same institution.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Enrolling for his doctoral studies in 1962 at the [[Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science]] (IACS) where he had the opportunity to work under the guidance of Akshayananda Bose, a renowned chemist,{{Refn|group=note|Mitra wrote the article on Akshayananda Bose in the Memoirs published by the Indian National Science Academy in 2009.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Memoirs&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.insaindia.res.in/bm.php?letter=A |title=Memoirs |date=2016 |publisher=Indian National Science Academy}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} he secured his DPhil in 1966 and moved to the [[University of Melbourne]] the same year for his post-doctoral studies at the department of chemistry of the university. On his return to India in 1970, he started his career by joining the [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]] (TIFR) where he spent his entire academic career till his superannuation as a Senior Professor in 2003. Subsequently, he moved to the [[Indian Institute of Chemical Biology]] (IICB) as a [[Raja Ramanna]] fellow where he continues as an [[Indian National Science Academy|INSA]] Senior Scientist. During the course of his career, he served as a visiting scholar at the [[University of Oxford]], as a visiting professor at the [[Ohio State University]], [[University of Pennsylvania]], [[University of North Carolina]], [[Australian National University]] and [[Monash University]] and as a visiting fellow at [[Tezpur University]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Visiting Fellows&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://tezu.ernet.in/dcs/Visitors%20&amp;amp;%20Ex%20members.html |title=Visiting Fellows |date=2016 |publisher=Tezpur University |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121042333/http://tezu.ernet.in/dcs/Visitors%20%26%20Ex%20members.html |archive-date=21 November 2016 |df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Working on the magnetic and electronic properties of [[Phthalocyanine|phthalocynines]], metal [[porphyrins]] and similar inorganic materials, the team led by him discovered the [[Ferromagnetism|molecular ferromagnet]] and elucidated their electronic structures for the first time.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He also elucidated a method for the determination of the electronic structures of low symmetry systems utilizing their single crystal magnetic properties, also reported to be a first time discovery. Later in his career, he studied metal [[enzyme]]s and [[protein]]s with regard to their enzyme-[[Substrate (chemistry)|substrate]] interaction, [[molecular recognition]], [[drug metabolism]] as well as the [[Catalysis|catalytic]] functions of several enzymes. These studies have assisted in resolving problems faced by the researchers on metabolic and catalytic pathways.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Production==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Pavalakkodi.jpg|thumbnail|right|S. S. Mani Bhagavathar as Lord Krishna and M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar as Karna in the film.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Pavalakkodi&#039;&#039; (lit. The Coral Queen) was originally a successful stage play acted out by a troupe of artists composed of Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, Mani Bhagavathar and [[S. D. Subbulakshmi]]. The troupe toured all over Tamil Nadu, [[Sri Lanka|Ceylon]], [[Malaysia|Malaya]] and [[Singapore]] staging the play.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;G&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book| first= Ananda| last=Lal | year= 2004| title= The Oxford companion to Indian theatre | publisher=Oxford University Press| isbn= 978-0-19-564446-3| pages=50 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DftkAAAAMAAJ}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Lena Chettiar|S.

The lead actors, M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar and S. D. Subbulakshmi were hired for Rs. 4,000 and Rs. 2,500 respectively. This was the first film for both of them.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ksubramaniam&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; This film was the first for Subramanyam as director. A vacant piece of land (present day campus of Dr. MGR Janaki College of Arts and Science for Women) in [[Adyar (Chennai)|Adyar]] was chosen for filming. Subramanyam established his studio at the spot and called it Meenakshi Cinetones. Filming was done outdoors using sunlight. Scenes were shot continuously when the sun was shining brightly and breaks were called when it became cloudy. Whenever the cloud cover broke, cast and crew rushed to resume filming abandoning their food packets. The abandoned food attracted a lot of crows from the wooded Adyar surroundings. The cawing of crows was a nuisance to recording (songs and dialogues were recorded directly on the spot). Subramanyam hired an [[Anglo Indian]] named Joe to fire his rifle in the air and scare away the crows. Joe was credited in the film credits as &amp;quot;Crow Shooter&amp;quot;. The studio did not have its own lab and scenes were shot without knowing how they would turn out. All the post-production work was done at [[Bombay]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;A&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Pavalakkodi&#039;&#039; tells the eventual turn of events between lord Rama and Karna because of Draupadi and the two with their brothers declare war on each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Cast==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar]] as [[Karna]]n&lt;br /&gt;

* [[S. S. Mani Bhagavathar]] as [[Lord Krishna|Krishnan]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[S. D. Subbulakshmi]] as Draupadi&lt;br /&gt;
* K. K. Parvathi Bai as Padmavati&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Soundtrack==&lt;br /&gt;
The film had 50 songs,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;C&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; of which 22 were sung by M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://raja1630.tripod.com/mktb/id2.html|title=MKT Filmography Part I|access-date=12 October 2008|work=M. K.

==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Pavalakkodi&#039;&#039; was a silver jubilee hit and ran for 275 days (9 months).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ksubramaniam2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It was also one of the earliest commercially successful Tamil films. On the successful completion of the film, Subramanyam married [[S. D. Subbulakshmi]] as his second wife.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ksubramaniam2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;Pavalakkodi&#039;&#039; set the stage for M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar&#039;s eventful career as the first superstar of Tamil Cinema. The single remaining print of this film has been preserved at National Film Archives, Pune.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;A&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;C&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is one of the oldest and most significant institutions in [[India]], originally established during the British Raj period and later reorganized post-independence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The PWD&#039;s origins date back to 1854 when it was formalized under British rule. Initially focused on road construction and irrigation works, the department played a crucial role in developing India&#039;s early infrastructure. After India&#039;s independence in 1947, the PWD was reorganized and decentralized, with each state forming its own PWD to cater to regional infrastructure needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Organizational Structure ===&lt;br /&gt;
PWD operates at both the central and state levels:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Central Public Works Department]] (CPWD):&#039;&#039;&#039; Functions under the [[Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs]], handling federal infrastructure projects such as government buildings, national highways, and major public works.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;State Public Works Departments:&#039;&#039;&#039; Each state has its own PWD responsible for [[infrastructure]] within its jurisdiction. These state-level PWDs report to their respective state governments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The department is organized hierarchically, with positions such as chief engineer, superintending engineer, executive engineer, and assistant engineer overseeing operations.&lt;br /&gt;

Then a journalist with &#039;&#039;[[Kannada Prabha]]&#039;&#039;, Simha resigned in April 2014 before beginning his electoral campaign, and subsequently winning the seat. He summed up: &amp;quot;In 33 days, I had gone from columnist to parliamentarian.&amp;quot;&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;outlook&amp;quot;/&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== As politician ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2015, Simha was appointed as a member of the [[Press Council of India]].&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tnm1&amp;quot;/&amp;amp;gt; As a politician and a [[Member of Parliament (India)|Member of the Parliament]] (MP), Simha came to be known for his staunch stances in the promotion of [[Hindutva]].&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|title=There is no plan or strategy for Hardline Hindutva: B S Yeddyurappa|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2017/dec/13/there-is-no-plan-or-strategy-for-hardline-hindutva-b-s-yeddyurappa-1725842.html|access-date=11 January 2018|work=The New Indian Express|date=13 December 2017}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;news18&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Pratap Simha: A Heady Mix of Ambition, Controversy and Temperament|url=http://www.news18.com/news/politics/pratap-simha-a-heady-mix-of-ambition-controversy-and-temperament-1606601.html|work=[[Network 18]]|date=11 January 2018 |accessdate=11 January 2018}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversies ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simha&#039;s tenure as an MP was marked by several controversies. He was a vocal against [[government of Karnataka]]&#039;s birthday celebrations of [[Tipu Sultan]] starting 2015. He voiced that Sultan could be a &amp;quot;role model only for Islamists&amp;quot; and that the Chief Minister [[Siddaramaiah]] was &amp;quot;encouraging [[Jihadist]]s&amp;quot; in the State.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|title=BJP MP Pratap Simha opposes Tipu Jayanti, says Tipu can be a role model only for Islamists|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/tipu-sultan-jayanti-tyranny-mysuru-vhp-rss-bjp-mp-pratap-simha-1070201-2017-10-23|accessdate=11 January 2018|work=India Today|date=23 October 2017}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; In 2017, against this backdrop, and police&#039;s prohibitory orders against taking procession of [[Hanuman Jayanti]]&#039;s organizers in [[Hunsur]], a town in his constituency, Simha was arrested after he violated the prohibitory orders.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Pratap Simha among several arrested in Hunsur ahead of Hanuma Jayanthi|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/pratap-simha-among-several-arrested-in-hunsur-ahead-of-hanuma-jayanthi/article21253923.ece|accessdate=11 January 2018|work=The Hindu|date=3 December 2017}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; In a widely circulated video, he was seen subsequently threatening the police officials and questioning their intent of &amp;quot;restricting&amp;quot; celebration of festivals of the [[Hindu]] faith,&amp;amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;news18&amp;quot;/&amp;amp;gt; and barging through the barricade in his car.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite magazine|last=Sayeed|first=Vikhar Ahmed|title=Polarisation game|url=http://www.frontline.in/the-nation/polarisation-game/article10008832.ece|magazine=[[Frontline (magazine)|Frontline]]|issue=18 January 2018|accessdate=11 January 2018}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In February 2017, Simha received criticism after he compared Gurmehar Kaur to Dawood Ibrahim. She was a student of [[Delhi University]] who spoke against the [[Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad]], a student body affiliated to the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]].&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|title=BJP MP Pratap Simha compares DU student Gurmehar Kaur with Dawood|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2017/feb/27/bjp-mp-pratap-simha-compares-du-student-gurmehar-kaur-with-dawood-1575379.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170227123758/http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2017/feb/27/bjp-mp-pratap-simha-compares-du-student-gurmehar-kaur-with-dawood-1575379.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 February 2017|accessdate=11 January 2018|work=The New Indian Express|date=27 February 2017}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simha courted controversy again in November that year while making statements against actor [[Prakash Raj]] after the latter questioned Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]]&#039;s silence following &amp;quot;certain killings&amp;quot; in the country. Simha had tweeted, &amp;quot;Being sad due to son&#039;s death, having left your wife and ran behind a dancer, Mr. Raj, do you have any right to say anything to Yogi, Modi&amp;quot;.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Actor Prakash Raj sends legal notice to BJP MP Pratap Simha over alleged trolling|url=http://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/actor-prakash-raj-sends-legal-notice-to-bjp-mp-pratap-simha-over-alleged-trolling-4225423.html|accessdate=11 January 2018|work=Firstpost|date=24 November 2017}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; He was subsequently sent a legal notice to by Raj calling for an unconditional public apology, and that failing which he would &amp;quot;press criminal charges&amp;quot; against him.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Prakash Raj issues legal notice to MP Pratap Simha|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/prakash-raj-issues-legal-notice-to-mp-pratap-simha/article20746220.ece|accessdate=11 January 2018|work=The Hindu|date=24 November 2017}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt; Simha apologised publicly for his conduct.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Dharmadhikari |first1=Sanyukta |title=BJP MP Pratap Simha apologises to Prakash Raj for derogatory social media post in 2017 |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/bjp-mp-pratap-simha-apologises-prakash-raj-derogatory-social-media-post-2017-106853 |access-date=24 September 2019 |work=The News Minute |date=8 August 2019 |language=en}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{Main article|2023 Indian Parliament breach}}&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2023, a group that carried out a [[Smoke bomb|smoke canister]] attack inside [[Lok Sabha]] secured access using visitors&#039; passes issued by Simha. The opposition demanded strict action against Simha and compared it to opposition [[Trinamool Congress]] MP [[Mahua Moitra]]&#039;s suspension. Moitra was suspended after her login credentials were found to be accessible by a businessman in [[Dubai]]. Congress workers protested outside Simha&#039;s office in [[Mysore]] and Karnataka chief minister [[Siddaramaiah]] questioned Simha&#039;s role and demanded a fair investigation by the Central Government into the affair.&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=BJP MP who issued visitor pass to intruder meets Lok Sabha Speaker, says... |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/parliament-security-breach-intruder-wanted-to-see-new-building-pratap-simha-tells-lok-sabha-speaker-om-birla-2475658-2023-12-13 |access-date=2023-12-14 |website=India Today |language=en}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;ref&amp;amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2023-12-13 |title=Lok Sabha security breach: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah questions Mysuru MP Pratap Simha&#039;s connection with the accused |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/bengaluru-news/lok-sabha-security-breach-karnataka-cm-siddaramaiah-questions-mysuru-mp-pratap-simhas-connection-with-the-accused-101702467310509.html |access-date=2023-12-15 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}&amp;amp;lt;/ref&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A &#039;&#039;&#039;sanna&#039;&#039;&#039; is a spongy, steamed, and savoury unfilled [[dumpling]] originally made of [[red rice]], [[black lentil]] and [[coconut]] in the [[Konkan region]], by the western coast of the [[Indian subcontinent]]. They originated in [[Goa and Damaon]], [[Bombay]] and [[Bassein (Vasai)]]. They are especially popular among [[Goan]]s, both the [[Goan Hindu]]s and [[Goan Christian]]s, and also among the [[Konkani people|Konkani migrants]] outside Konkan in [[Karachi, Sindh]], [[Gujarat]], [[Karnataka]] and [[Kerala]]. They are also made by the [[people of Konkan division]], such as the &#039;&#039;[[Kupari]]&#039;&#039; of the [[Bombay East Indian]] community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hindus normally use [[urad dal]], [[coconut water]] and [[coconut milk]] for fermentation.&amp;lt;ref name=sanna /&amp;gt; Catholic Christian sannas consist of two types: Those made from the [[Palm toddy|toddy]] of [[coconut sugar|coconut flower]]s, and those sannas made using the [[sap]]-toddy of the [[coconut palm]].&amp;lt;ref name=cris1&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Kuper|first=Jessica|title=The anthropologists&#039; cookbook|year=1997|publisher=Kegan Paul International|isbn= 978-0-7103-0531-2|page=208}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Though both of them require the same varieties of rice, sannas are commonly made with coconut for fermentation, unlike idlis made by adding [[yeast]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.tarladalal.com/Sannas-Recipe-Goan-Steamed-Rice-Bread-42082r|title = Sannas Recipe, Goan Steamed Rice Bread}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ruchikrandhap.com/sanna-mangalorean-idlissteamed-rice/|title=Sanna &amp;amp;#124; Sannas - Steamed Rice Cakes + Video|date=11 June 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://recipes.timesofindia.com/recipes/sanna/rs60750401.cms|title = Sanna Recipe: How to Make Sanna Recipe &amp;amp;#124; Homemade Sanna Recipe}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;Sannas&#039;&#039; are made on special days such as [[Ganesh Chaturthi]], [[Gudi Padwa|Sonsar Padvo]]/ [[Yugadi]] and [[Makar Sankranti]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;sanna&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Union Territory Goa, Daman and Diu: district gazetteer, Volume 1|year=1979|publisher=Goa, Daman and Diu (India). Gazetteer Dept|page=258}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Catholic Christians generally prepare them for church feasts, [[Naming ceremony#Christianity|christening]]s and weddings. Sometimes a sweet version is made with [[jaggery]], known as &#039;&#039;godachi sanna&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=cris&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Gomes|first=Olivinho|title=Village Goa: a study of Goan social structure and change|year=1987|publisher=S. Chand|pages=249–250}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mangalorean Catholic cuisine]] on special days is incomplete without sannas. They are a much-loved delicacy served with &#039;&#039;[[bafat]]&#039;&#039;, a spicy [[pork]] curry prepared with a medley of powdered [[spice]]s. Sannas are also served alongside chicken or mutton [[curries]], and also with beef prior to the [[beef bans in India]]. They can be eaten for breakfast with [[coconut chutney]] or [[Sambar (dish)|saambhar]], or with coconut milk sweetened with jaggery and flavoured with cardamom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In present days, the unavailability or ban of toddy in certain places, the difficult and lengthy process of extracting fresh coconut milk have made the dish an occasional delicacy, prepared during Konkani celebrations only. Sometimes, the dish is completely substituted by [[idli]]s, made of [[white rice]] and yeast-based [[Batter (cooking)|batter]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{About|the concept of Yoga in Hindu astrology.|the concept of Yoga in Indian astronomy|Nityayoga}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Short description|Concept in Hindu astrology}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Primary sources|date=November 2019}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{astrology}}&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Hindu astrology]], &#039;&#039;&#039;yoga&#039;&#039;&#039; is the relationship between one planet, sign, or house to another by placement, [[Astrological aspect|aspect]], or [[Conjunction (astronomy)|conjunction]]. It is the consideration of the planetary [[Dasha (astrology)|dasha&#039;s]] directional effects, the most important factor which distinguishes Hindu astrology from [[Western astrology]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Laghu Parashari]]&#039;&#039;, a [[treatise]] on dasha, is based on [[Parashara]]&#039;s [[Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Brihat Jataka]] Ch. I St. 3. Published by Raman Publications, Bangalore. p.33.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and is the simplest and most widely-followed system. Ancient [[Hindus|Hindu]] astrologers seem to have confined their exercises to the seven planets:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Notes of B. Suryanarain Rao on [[Brihat Jataka]] Ch. II St. 1. Published by Raman Publications, Bangalore. p. 73.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the [[planets in astrology|Sun]], the [[Moon]], [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], [[Venus]], [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]], and [[Saturn]]; the [[lunar node]]s [[Rahu]] and [[Ketu (mythology)|Ketu]] are rarely mentioned. Parashara refers to five additional &#039;&#039;chayagrahas&#039;&#039;, invisible mathematical solar positions which affect individuals and nations. The [[Rigveda]] refers to a total of thirty-four &#039;&#039;chayagrahas&#039;&#039;: twenty-seven [[nakshatra]]s [[lunar station]]s) and the seven astrological planets.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Rig Veda]] I.162.18/Rig Veda X.55.3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Elsewhere, however, it refers to forty-nine &#039;&#039;chayagrahas&#039;&#039;: the previous thirty-four plus the two lunar nodes, the twelve zodiac signs, and &#039;&#039;[[ayanamsa]]&#039;&#039;. [[Varahamihira]] favoured Satyacharya&#039;s dasha system, although he said that many people had degraded it with useless additions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Brihat Jataka]]&#039;&#039; Ch. VII. St. 13. Published by Raman Publications, Bangalore. p. 237&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

==Definitions==&lt;br /&gt;
The word &#039;&#039;yoga&#039;&#039; is derived from the [[Sanskrit]] root &#039;&#039;Yuj&#039;&#039;, meaning to join properly, to control judicially, or to integrate. It has been used to indicate [[Lunisolar calendar|lunisolar]] distances and planetary situations, associations, and combinations. Yogas are formed when one planet, sign, or house is related to another by placement, aspect or conjunction.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Jataka Parijata]]&#039;&#039; Ch. XI St. 1 Published by Motilal Banarsidas Publishers, Delhi. p. 735&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The consideration of planetary yogas and dashas is the most important factor that distinguishes Hindu astrology from Western astrology.{{cn|date=November 2019}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoga may have good or bad effects. [[Raja yoga (Hindu astrology)|Raja yoga]]s are auspicious, and [[daridra yoga]]s indicate poverty. [[Sanyasa yoga]]s indicate &#039;&#039;[[sannyasa]]&#039;&#039; (renunciation). Some yogas cancel the effects of inauspicious yogas&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Jataka Tattva]]&#039;&#039; Ch.

&lt;br /&gt;

Hindu astrology is based on the interpretation of [[nakshatra]]s ([[constellation]]s), &#039;&#039;rasis&#039;&#039; ([[astrological sign]]s) and [[Navagraha]] (the astrological planets). Planetary combinations and their indications are based on strength, nature, aspect, and [[Avastha (Hindu astrology)|avastha]] (state).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Jataka Parijata]]&#039;&#039; Ch.

&lt;br /&gt;
Although yogas are based on fundamental principles described in standard texts, not all texts cover all possible planetary combinations and associations, and texts have different interpretations of a given yoga.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Planets And Their Yoga Formations|author=Ravinder Kumar Soni|publisher=Pigeon Books India|place=New Delhi|page=28|url=http://www.pigeonbooks.in/product_info.php?products_id=33 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130209161543/http://www.pigeonbooks.in/product_info.php?products_id=33 |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 February 2013 |access-date=7 December 2012}} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Certain yogas described in the texts cannot occur; these relate to Mercury and Venus vis-à-vis the Sun.

Yogas are generally classified as [[Chandra]] (Moon), [[Surya]] (Sun), [[Nābhāsa yoga|Nabhasa]] (celestial), [[Raja yoga (Hindu astrology)|Raja]], [[Dhana yoga|Dhana]], or [[Daridra yoga|Darida]]. Their common factor is the relative strength of the planets and their houses by ownership, occupation or aspect. Janardan Harji, in the fourth chapter of his &#039;&#039;[[Mansagari]]&#039;&#039;, assigns certain outcomes to certain combinations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Mansagari|author=Janardan Harji|publisher=Savitri Thakur Prakashan|pages=308–309|quote=Slokas 6-8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Yoga results are indicated by the circumstances of birth and the course of a person&#039;s life, from birth to death.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Jataka Bharanam: Sadsaddashavicharana St. I Published by Shri Venkateshwar Press, Mumbai. p. 317&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Karachi Agreement&#039;&#039;&#039; is an agreement purportedly executed on 28 April 1949 between the Government of Pakistan and the then Government of [[Azad Kashmir]] governing the relations between Pakistan and Azad Kashmir. It set down the division of the powers between the two governments as well as the [[All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference]]. Through the agreement, Azad Kashmir ceded to the Government of Pakistan complete control over [[Gilgit-Baltistan]] (then called the &amp;quot;Northern Areas&amp;quot;), and the control over subjects of defence, foreign affairs and communications in its area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Execution ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Karachi Agreement is reported to have been signed on 28 April 1949 by:&lt;br /&gt;
# [[Mushtaq Ahmed Gurmani]], Pakistan&#039;s `Minister without Portfolio&#039;, in charge of the [[Ministry of Kashmir Affairs (Pakistan)|Ministry of Kashmir Affairs]]&lt;br /&gt;
# [[Sardar Mohammed Ibrahim Khan]], the president of [[Azad Kashmir]]&lt;br /&gt;
# [[Chaudhry Ghulam Abbas]], Head of [[All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference]]&lt;br /&gt;
The agreement was kept as a secret document up to the 1990s. It was not reported in the newspaper reports of 1949, the memoirs of Sardar Ibrahim or any other sources. It was revealed for the first time in the &#039;&#039;Verdict on Gilgit and Baltistan (Northern Area)&#039;&#039; by the High Court of Azad Kashmir in the 1990s, which states that the agreement &amp;quot;appears to have been executed on 28 April 1949.&amp;quot; Later, it was published as the Appendix XVII of &#039;&#039;The Constitution of Azad Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir&#039;&#039; by Justice Syed Manzoor Hussain Gilani in 2008.{{sfn|Snedden|2013|pp=90,&amp;amp;nbsp;342}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |author=Human Rights Watch |chapter=III. Constitutional Structure of Azad Kashmir and Its Relationship to Pakistan |title=&amp;quot;With Friends like these...&amp;quot; Human Rights Violations in Azad Kashmir |chapter-url=https://www.hrw.org/reports/2006/pakistan0906/4.htm |publisher=Human Rights Watch |date=September 2006}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Agreement ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Christopher Snedden]], the agreement was very much in Pakistan&#039;s favour and deprived the Azad Kashmiris of significant powers and responsibilities.{{sfn|Snedden|2013|p=90}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part I of the agreement covered the structure and operation of the `Civil Administration of Azad Kashmir Area&#039;, which laid down the regulations for the Azad Kashmir government. Part II dealt with financial arrangements by which Pakistan would advance the money. Part III was titled the `Division of functions between the Governments of Pakistan, the Azad Kashmir Government and the Muslim Conference&#039;.{{sfn|Snedden|2013|pp=90-91}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the division of powers, the Pakistan government allocated to itself eight important matters including Defence, negotiations with the [[United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan|UNCIP]], foreign policy, publicity in foreign countries, coordination of refugee relief and rehabilitation, coordination of all arrangements for a plebiscite, all activities within Pakistan concerning Kashmir and, finally, all affairs of the `Gilgit and Ladakh areas&#039; (which were then under the control of the political agent at Gilgit). The last item meant that Azad Kashmir `lost&#039; Gilgit and Baltistan from its control, essentially permanently. This put paid to Azad Kashmir&#039;s claim of being an alternative government for the former princely state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and turned it into a local authority limited to a rump territory of the state. Pakistan obtained total control over the defence of the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, including the `Azad Army&#039;. It also took complete charge of relations with the Indian government and the Indian-controlled part of Jammu and Kashmir. The Azad Kashmir government no longer had any international role.{{sfn|Snedden|2013|pp=90-91}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Azad Kashmir government was allocated only four functions, three of which gave it responsibility for policy and administration of Azad Kashmir and to develop its economic resources. The fourth function was to give `advice&#039; to the Minister without Portfolio in charge of the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs in its negotiations with the [[UNCIP]].{{sfn|Snedden|2013|p=91}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Muslim Conference was allocated eight functions, six of which gave it the responsibility to organise political activities within Azad Kashmir, the &amp;quot;Indian occupied areas of the State&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;among Kashmir refugees in Pakistan&amp;quot;. These included activities for a plebiscite.  The seventh function was to give &amp;quot;general guidance&amp;quot; to the Azad Kashmir government. The last function, identical to that of the Azad Kashmir government, was to give &amp;quot;advice&amp;quot; to the [[Minister without Portfolio]] in charge of the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs.{{sfn|Snedden|2013|p=91}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Analysis ==&lt;br /&gt;
Christopher Snedden says that the Azad Kashmir government and the Muslim Conference accepted the agreement because they wanted Azad Kashmir to join Pakistan, which they expected to happen soon with the promised plebiscite. In his view, this relationship was similar to Pakistan&#039;s relationship with its other provinces.{{sfn|Snedden|2013|p=92}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Navnita Behera says that, as a result of the agreement, the Joint Secretary to the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs acquired &amp;quot;the best claim to being the real head of the Azad Kashmir government.&amp;quot;{{sfn|Behera|2007|p=173}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regarding the loss of [[Gilgit-Baltistan]], Snedden accepts Sardar Ibrahim&#039;s argument that the physical links of Azad Kashmir with Gilgit-Baltistan were weak. It was anticipated that Pakistan could administer it more easily via [[Peshawar]] or [[Rawalpindi]].{{sfn|Snedden|2013|p=92}} However, in the succeeding years, Azad Kashmir has tried to reassert its control over Gilgit-Baltistan by various means. In 1972, the Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly passed a resolution reclaiming Gilgit-Baltistan.&lt;br /&gt;
The Azad Kashmir Interim Constitution formulated in 1974 lists Gilgit-Baltistan as being part of Azad Kashmir. In 1992, the Azad Kashmir High Court admitted a petition and subsequently ordered the Azad Kashmir government to take control of Gilgit-Baltistan. The order was however challenged in the Azad Kashmir Supreme Court, which overturned it even though it maintained that Gilgit-Baltistan was part of Jammu and Kashmir.{{sfn|Priyanka Singh|2013|pp=19-20}} The people of Gilgit-Baltistan are reportedly incensed with the Karachi Agreement because there was no representative of theirs in making the agreement even though it decided the fate of Gilgit-Baltistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |author=Crisis Group |title=Discord in Pakistan&#039;s Northern Areas |publisher=International Crisis Group |location=Brussels |date=2 April 2007 |url=http://www.crisisgroup.org/~/media/Files/asia/south-asia/pakistan/131_discord_in_pakistan_s_northern_areas.pdf |page=5 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160520051413/http://www.crisisgroup.org/~/media/Files/asia/south-asia/pakistan/131_discord_in_pakistan_s_northern_areas.pdf |archivedate=20 May 2016 |df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bangalore&#039;&#039;&#039; represents the interests of the [[Government of Germany]] in the [[India]]n states of [[Karnataka]] and [[Kerala]].

Achim Burkart is the current Consul General.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Founding==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The new premises located in the intersection of St. Mark&#039;s Road and Residency Road was inaugurated on 22 June 2012 by German Foreign Minister [[Guido Westerwelle]] in the presence of Chief Secretary of Karnataka S. V. Ranganath and the then Consul General Ingo Karsten.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Official Opening of the new premises of the German Consulate General in Bangalore|url=http://www.india.diplo.de/Vertretung/indien/en/02__Bangalore/Bangalore.html|publisher=Embassy of Germany, New Delhi|accessdate=24 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616112611/http://www.india.diplo.de/Vertretung/indien/en/02__Bangalore/Bangalore.html|archive-date=16 June 2012|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Services and activities==&lt;br /&gt;
The Consulate General provides [[Visa (document)|visa]] services to residents of [[Karnataka]] and [[Kerala]] along with consular services to German nationals.&amp;lt;ref name=ingokarsteninterview&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Kamath|first=Vijesh|title=‘Germany sees Bangalore as technological heart of India’|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/195288/germany-sees-bangalore-technological-heart.html|accessdate=24 June 2012|newspaper=Deccan Herald|date=3 October 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
