'''[[Hinduism]]''' is the most followed [[Religion in India]] and nearly 84% of the total population of [[Karnataka]] follows [[Hinduism]], as per [[2011 Census of India]]. Several great empires and dynasties have ruled over Karnataka and many of them have contributed richly to the growth of Hinduism, its temple culture and social development. These developments have reinforced the "Householder tradition", which is of disciplined domesticity, though the saints who propagated Hinduism in the state and in the country were themselves [[ascetics]]. The [[Bhakti movement]], of Hindu origin, is devoted to the worship of [[Shiva]] and [[Vishnu]]; it had a telling impact on the sociocultural ethos of Karnataka from the 12th century onwards.

In current times, [[Hinduism]] has a significant role in the [[Politics of Karnataka|Karnataka politics]] and society and plays an important role in day-to-day life of the people.

The Advaita [[Adi Shankara]] chose [[Sringeri]] in Karnataka to establish the first of his four [[matha]]s. The [[Vishishtadvaita]] philosopher [[Ramanuja]], considered a saint in [[Sri Sampradaya]], fled from persecution by the [[Shaiva]] [[Chola dynasty]] of [[Tamil Nadu]], and stayed in Karnataka from 1098 to 1122.

===Lingayatism===
{{Main|Lingayatism}}

According to the 2011 census, 84.00% of the state's population practices Hinduism.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.census2011.co.in/census/state/karnataka.html|title=Karnataka Population Census data 2011|publisher=Census 2011 - Census of India}}</ref> In the past, Jainism dominated Hinduism.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jdjNkZoGFCgC&pg=PA129 |last=Dundas |first=Paul |title=The Jains |year=2002 |pages=129– |edition=2 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9780415266055 }}</ref> In the 12th century, [[Lingayatism]] emerged in northern Karnataka as a protest against the rigidity of the prevailing social and caste system.<ref name="Patil2002"/> Leading figures of the movement, such as [[Basava]], [[Akka Mahadevi]] and [[Allama Prabhu]], established the [[Anubhava Mantapa]] where Lingayatism was expounded.<ref name="bud"/> This was to form the basis of the Lingayat faith{{Sfn|Blurton|1993|p=212}} and its followers, the [[Lingayats]], account for 17% of the total population of 65 million in Karnataka.<ref name="bud">{{cite web|title=Buddhist System of Education |url=http://www.kamat.com/database/books/kareducation/buddhist_education.htm|last=Kamat |first=Jyotsna|publisher=Kamat's Potpourri|work=Education in Karnataka through the ages|access-date=27 June 2013 |pages=152–154}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://zeenews.india.com/slideshow/karnataka-polls-2013-issues_77.html/5 |title= Caste conundrum: Lingayat Vs Vokaliga|access-date=28 June 2013|publisher=Zee News.com}}</ref> When the Lingayat sect came to be established in Karnataka, the then prospering [[Jain|Jain community]]'s practice of Jainism became ineffectual as a religious practice in the state.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|pages=353-54}} Ligayats hold a considerable sway in Karnataka to this day.

===Bhakti===
{{Main|Bhakti movement}}
[[File:Kanakadasa art.jpg|left|180px|Kanakadasa one of the famous Haridasas of the Bhakthi movement]]
Under the [[Bhakti]] movement, Vishnu and Shiva were the main focus of devotion by both Lingayat and Brahminical communities.{{Sfn|Flood|2008|p=184}} The devotional movement in Hinduism is divine grace and is known as the Bhakti movement.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=260}} [[Basava]] (1106–1167), also called [[Basavanna]], protested against caste system and was for equality among all classes. His movement was called the Bhakti Movement and it had a profound paradigm shift in the socio-cultural ethos of the state of Karnataka.{{Sfn|Flood|2008|p=219}}<ref name="Ramaswamy2007">{{cite book|author=Harish Ramaswamy|title=Karnataka: Government and Politics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UM3LjKo8Uo8C&pg=PA312|date=1 January 2007|publisher=Concept Publishing Company|isbn=978-81-8069-397-7|pages=312–}}</ref> The basic tenet of this philosophy, propounded from the 12th century by the Virashaiva school or [[Virashaivism]], was opposition to the caste system, rejection of the supremacy of the Brahmins, abhorrence to ritual sacrifice, and insistence on Bhakti and the worship of the one God, Shiva. His followers were called Virashaivas, meaning "stalwart Shiva-worshipers". The Ligayat or Virashaiva sect were the forerunners in this movement. They abhorred caste system and were emphatic to practice the direct interaction with god and symbolically express it through wearing small [[linga]] around their neck signifying their faith. The [[Shaiva Siddhanta]], which included [[tantra|tantric]] practices also formed the base line for the Lingayat religion.{{Sfn|Flood|2008|p=219}} But their religious ethos was not to the liking of other Hindu groups.{{Sfn|Flood|2008|p=184}}

[[Allama Prabhu]] a poet saint in the 12th century of the Lingayat sect, was a contemporary of Basava. Allama was instrumental in prompting bhakti cult through his poems in Kannada language among Shiva worshipers. This was an enlightened way of worship in which caste distinctions were discarded. It was believed that Allama was incarnate of Lord Shiva and hence he was given the epithet 'Prabhu' which was suffixed to his name. His poems were totally devotional and expressed in his status of achieving detachment from rituals.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=29}}

[[File:Adichunchanagiri Hills.jpg|thumb|Adichunchanagiri Math.]]

===Lakula, Kalamukha, and Kapalikas===
In Karnataka before the Lingayats' started their bhakthi movement, there was the [[Kalamukha]] sect who were worshipers of Shiva. They practiced the movement from the 11th century. They were also opposed to asceticism like the Lingayats.{{Sfn|Flood|2008|p=219}} The Kalamukha were a sub-sect of the [[Pashupata Shaivism|Lakula Sect]], who had lot of influence over the people. They collected funds for their temples and mathas (monastic centers).{{Sfn|Flood|2008|pages=207-08}} The Kalamukha ascetic sect was popular during the 9th to 13th centuries, but is now extinct. They painted their faces with a black streak and were contemporary to another sect known as Kapalikas. Their religious dogmas are not clear except for some inscriptions which attest to their strong influence in Karnataka.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=332}}

===Haridasas===
Another bhakthi movement established in the 13th century was of Haridasas, a devotional group of saints who formed the group under the same name, and who were [[Vaishnavite]]s of the [[Dvaita Vedanta|Dvaita philosophy]]. The founder of this movement was [[Naraharitirtha]], a devout [[Madhva]] follower. Their worship is devoted to various forms of Lord Vishnu or [[Hari]]. This Bhakthi cult's propagation was not only worship of Vishnu but also to discard animal sacrifice, stop beliefs in superstitions, discourage caste system, and end the worship of many forms of the deity. They also discouraged the practice of astrology and other rituals. Their preachings were in the Kannada language through devotional poetry, a language of the people. However, there were two sects in this group one who wanted the Sanskrit language to be followed, the [[Vyasakuta]] and the [[Dasakuta]]. The notable Haridasas of that period were [[Purandaradasa]], [[Vyasaraya]], [[Kanakadasa]], [[Vadiraja]], [[Vijaya Dasa]], [[Jagannatha Dasa (Kannada poet)|Jagannatha Dasa]], [[Vasudeva Dasa]] and [[Gopala Dasa]]; many of them became heads of the religious ''maths'' founded by Madhva and his disciples. Haridasas are still popular and the songs scripted by many of the earlier Haridasas are very popular.<ref name="Dalal2011">{{cite book|author=Roshen Dalal|title=Hinduism: An Alphabetical Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DH0vmD8ghdMC&pg=PA155|date=October 2011|publisher=Penguin Books India|isbn=978-0-14-341421-6|pages=155–}}</ref>

Karnataka is one of the four states of [[South India]] where Kannada is spoken. Sanskrit in South India as a basic language is evidenced in a stone pillar inscription dated between 455 and 470 AD in [[Talagunda]] in [[Shivamogga district]] of the state. The inscription is in the language of [[Kadamba Dynasty|Kadamba Kakusthavarma]]; the posthumous record is inscribed in Late southern [[Brahmi script]] during the reign of Santivarma (450 to 470 AD).<ref name="MachacekWilcox2003">{{cite book|author1=David Wayne Machacek|author2=Melissa M.

==Castes==
During the [[British Raj]] the caste classification of the Hindu religion, in their proper hierarchical order, was done in the late 19th century and a publication titled ''[[Castes and Tribes of Southern India]]'' was published.

One of the seven rivers of India sacred to Hindus is the [[Kaveri River]] which has its origin in Karnataka and there are many Hindu [[Tirtha (Hinduism)|tirtha sthana]]s (sacred sites or places) on its banks. One of the notable thirtha sthanas (religious centre) on the bank of the river is [[Srirangapattana]].{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=134}} The historical site of [[Aihole]] is where the Chalukya dynasty ruled in the state from 4th-8th century. They built a large number of Hindu temples, some of which are still extant. This was the period of evolution of Hindu architecture. The architectural style introduced during this period were [[rock cut architecture]] in the form of cave temples ([[chaitya]]) which comprised an enclosed courtyard called [[vihara]]. The earliest temple built was in 450AD which had a square [[mandapa]] (pavilion) and a tower ([[shikara]]) above the image of the main deity. These became forerunners for later period Hindu temples and resulted in the evolution of Hindu medieval temple architecture.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=10}}

===Hoysala Empire===
Th reign of the [[Hoysala Empire]] occurred between the 10th and 14th centuries over the western region of Karnataka. Many temples were built with [[chlorite]] stones or [[soapstone]]s and the architecture which evolved was called the [[Hoysala architecture]], known for architectural detailing. The unique features of this style comprise a central hall linked to three star shaped shrines, and the temple towers are laid in horizontal tiers.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=90}} [[Dorasamudra]], known as [[Halebeedu]], was the dynastic capital.

Dedicated to Shiva, it has two sanctum sanctorums and the deities are in the form of [[linga]]s named Hoysaleshvara and Shantaleshvara, after the king and queen. Built over a period of 70 years, it was left incomplete. It has an enormous [[Nandi (Hinduism)|Nandi]], the mount of Shiva. There is a small [[Surya]] (Sun god) temple behind the sanctorum deified with a Surya (Sun) image which is {{convert|2|m}} in height. The walls of the temple have been carved with scenes of [[Ramayana]], [[Mahabharata]] and the [[Bhagavad Gita]] epics; they are crafted on the external and internal walls, with Yabancharya named as the architect.

===Vijayanagara Empire===
{{Main|Vijayanagara architecture}}
[[Vijayanagara Empire]] ("city of victory") was founded by [[Harihara]] in 1336. During the invasion by [[Bahmani Sultanate]] (Muslim rulers), Harihara was captured and was converted to [[Islam]], thus becoming an outcast among Hindu religionists. As he grew up, he became a valiant warrior and was sent to conquer South India for the Sultanate. But he decided to establish his own kingdom and reconverted to Hinduism, an indication of religious tolerance that was prevalent during the medieval period; there was no opposition from the orthodoxy.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=274}} [[Hampi]] is another great city of the medieval period where the Vijayanagara empire flourished between 1336 and 1565 and held sway over most of the [[Indian peninsula]]; this city was sacked by the invading Muslim army in 1565.{{Sfn|Lochtefeld|2002|p=270}}

The foundation of the temple was laid by the Banas of the 9th century. The Chola rulers of the 11th century constructed the roof of the temple. The marriage hall was built by the Hoysalas in the 13th century and a wall of the second complex was built by the Vijayanagar kings.

== Challenges and medical negligence concerns ==
Despite Kerala’s reputation for a strong public healthcare system, the sector has faced scrutiny over instances of alleged medical negligence, infrastructure gaps, and administrative challenges, particularly during the tenure of the second [[Pinarayi Vijayan]] ministry (2021–present).

=== Reported medical negligence cases ===
Several high-profile cases of alleged medical negligence in government hospitals have been reported. In one instance, a surgical instrument (artery forceps) was found inside a patient years after a procedure at a government medical college hospital in Alappuzha, leading to police action and disciplinary proceedings.<ref>{{cite news |title=Row over Kerala medical negligence case escalates |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/thiruvananthapuram/suspension-police-case-protests-row-over-kerala-medical-negligence-case-escalates-10545032/ |work=The Indian Express |date=22 February 2026 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

In another case, a guide wire used during surgery was left inside a patient’s chest at a government hospital in Thiruvananthapuram. The state health department acknowledged the error and initiated action against those responsible.<ref>{{cite news |title=Min accepts surgical error, vows action |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thiruvananthapuram/min-accepts-surgical-error-vows-action/articleshow/123953004.cms |work=The Times of India |date=2025 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

Additional cases have involved complications following surgical procedures, including instances where patients reported severe pain due to retained surgical materials, prompting police complaints and legal proceedings.<ref>{{cite news |title=Medical negligence case against Kerala doctor after surgery leaves man in severe pain |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/thiruvananthapuram/2026/Jan/09/medical-negligence-case-against-kerala-doctor-after-surgery-leaves-man-in-severe-pain |work=The New Indian Express |date=9 January 2026 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

Cases involving deaths during treatment have also been reported. For example, a woman died during treatment at Kottayam Medical College Hospital, with her family alleging negligence, prompting an internal investigation.<ref>{{cite news |title=49-year-old woman dies during treatment at Kottayam MCH; kin allege medical negligence |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kochi/49-year-old-woman-dies-during-treatment-at-kottayam-mch-kin-allege-medical-negligence/articleshow/124880445.cms |work=The Times of India |date=2025 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

In July 2025, the collapse of a portion of a building at Kottayam Medical College Hospital resulted in the death of a patient and led to allegations regarding delays in rescue operations and infrastructure maintenance.<ref>{{cite news |title=Woman dies in Kottayam medical college collapse, delay alleged |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2025/Jul/04/woman-dies-in-kottayam-medical-college-collapse-alleged-delay-in-rescue-sparks-political-row |work=The New Indian Express |date=4 July 2025 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

=== Systemic and infrastructure issues ===
Beyond individual cases, concerns have been raised regarding systemic issues in public healthcare institutions. Reports have indicated infrastructure deficiencies, including hospital buildings requiring urgent repair or demolition.<ref>{{cite news |title=134 hospital buildings unsafe in Kerala, most in Ernakulam |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thiruvananthapuram/134-hospital-buildings-unsafe-in-kerala-most-in-ernakulam/articleshow/122350103.cms |work=The Times of India |date=2025 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

Medical professionals have also reported increased pressure and legal scrutiny following negligence allegations, with some noting a shift towards “defensive medicine” practices in hospitals.<ref>{{cite news |title=Medical negligence cases trigger defensive practices among doctors in Kerala |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2026/Feb/26/medical-negligence-cases-trigger-defensive-practices-among-doctors-in-kerala |work=The New Indian Express |date=26 February 2026 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

=== Data and broader trends ===
Comprehensive state-level data on medical negligence cases is not consistently published. However, national-level data indicates a rise in litigation, with approximately 65,000 medical negligence cases filed across India in 2025 in courts and consumer forums.<ref>{{cite news |title=65,000 medical negligence cases filed in 2025 |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/legal-news/medical-negligence-cases-india-2025-hospital-paperwork-digital-evidence-ncdrc-data-10521097/ |work=The Indian Express |date=8 February 2026 |access-date=21 March 2026}}</ref>

Experts have noted that factors such as administrative lapses, documentation issues, and systemic pressures contribute to such cases alongside clinical errors.

=== Government response ===
The Government of Kerala has maintained that reported incidents are isolated and not indicative of systemic failure. Authorities have initiated inquiries, suspended personnel in certain cases, and introduced corrective measures to strengthen patient safety mechanisms.

Officials have also highlighted that Kerala continues to perform strongly on national health indicators and remains one of the leading states in public healthcare delivery.

=== Political and public response ===
Medical negligence cases have been a subject of political debate in Kerala, with opposition parties raising concerns about accountability and governance. The government has stated that such incidents are being addressed through institutional mechanisms and reforms.

Public discourse on the issue has expanded through media coverage and discussions within the medical community.

== List of Health Ministers ==
The following is the list of ministers who held the health portfolio in various governments:<ref>{{Cite web |title=General Info - Kerala Legislature |url=http://www.niyamasabha.org/codes/ginfo_6.htm |access-date=2026-04-30 |website=www.niyamasabha.org}}</ref>

== Education ==
{{More citations needed section|date=December 2020}}This panchayat has the legacy of starting a public educational institution long before the beginning of the twentieth century when the national movement was gaining its strength. There are many schools here which were established in the late 19th century. Mantharathoor UP School is the oldest school in the panchayat. This school is more than one hundred years old. Records show that this institution, the first primary school in the panchayat, had a liberal approach towards student's admission. The second primary school in Maniyur Panchayath, Palayad LP school was established in 1880. All other primary schools were established approximately 50–100 years ago. Maniyur Panchayat Secondary School was established in 1966.

There are many primary schools that were started during the tenure of the Malabar District Board. Most of the primary schools were upgraded during 1955–1959. This universalization of the schools helped the minority communities and the scheduled caste communities to get access to education. People across the society came forward to establish these schools, inculcating higher values. At a time when even untouchability existed, all sections of the community were allowed to attend school.

=== Maniyur Panchayath HSS ===
The only Higher Secondary School in Maniyur Panchayath is the Government HSS Maniyur. Its former name was Maniyoor Panchayath HSS and this was changed to the GHSS Maniyur when the Kerala government took control over this school which was under the control of the panchayat previously.

The school was started on 1 June 1996 and became a higher secondary school only after 2004. It follows the SCERT syllabus. This school has great achievements in both arts and sports and it even received national recognition. The school have classes from 8-12 with malayalam and english medium.

This school also belonged to the solar schools project of Kozhikode District panchayath which tried to make enough electricity for daily usage with solar power panels for energy.<ref>{{Cite web|agency=TNN|date=Dec 12, 2019|title=Kozhikode district panchayat aims to be energy sufficient {{!}} Kozhikode News - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kozhikode/dist-panchayat-aims-to-be-energy-sufficient/articleshow/72481462.cms|access-date=2020-10-09|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>

The '''Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act, 1919''', popularly known as the '''Rowlatt Act''', was a law, applied during the [[British Raj|British India]] period. It was a legislative council act hurriedly passed by the [[Imperial Legislative Council]] in [[Delhi]] on 18 March 1919, despite the united opposition of its Indian members, indefinitely extending the emergency measures of preventive [[indefinite detention]], imprisonment without trial and judicial review enacted in the [[Defence of India Act, 1915]] during the [[First World War]]. It was enacted in the light of a perceived threat from revolutionary nationalists of re-engaging in similar [[Hindu–German Conspiracy|conspiracies as had occurred during the war]] which the government felt the lapse of the Defence of India Act, 1915 would enable.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Popplewell |first1=Richard |title=Intelligence and Imperial Defence: British Intelligence and the Defence of the Indian Empire 1904–1924 |date=1995 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-7146-4580-3 |page=175 |doi=10.4324/9781315037417 |s2cid=239566146 |edition=1st |url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781315037417/intelligence-imperial-defence-richard-popplewell}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Lovett |first1=Verney |title=A history of the Indian nationalist movement |date=1920 |publisher=John Murray |location=London |pages=94,187–191 |url=https://archive.org/details/cu31924024064523/page/n109/mode/2up?view=theater |access-date=12 March 2022}}</ref><ref name=Sarkar1921>{{cite journal |last=Sarkar |first= Benoy Kumar |author-link=Benoy Kumar Sarkar |date=March 1921 |title=A History of the Indian Nationalist Movement.

==Purpose and introduction==
The British Colonial Government passed the "'''Rowlatt Act",''' which gave power to the [[Indian Imperial Police|police]] to arrest any Indian person on the basis of mere suspicion. The purpose of the Act was to curb the growing [[Indian nationalism|nationalist]] upsurge in the country. [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] called this act a "Black Act", in his resignation letter to Viceroy of India, Frederic Thesiger, from the Imperial Legislative Council. [[Mahatma Gandhi]] called upon the people to perform ''[[Satyagraha]]'' against this act.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Du Boulay |first1=James Houssemayne |author1-link=James Houssemayne Du Boulay |title=Copy of a Press Message from Reed, Bombay to "Times", London, passed at Bombay |url=https://indianculture.gov.in/archives/actions-taken-deal-leaders-passive-resistance-satyagraha-rowlatt-billpoll-may-455-472-part |website=Indianculture.gov |publisher=National Archives of India |access-date=12 March 2022 |date=May 1919}}</ref><ref name="Satyagraha Pledge">{{cite web |last1=Gandhi |first1=Mohandas Karamchand |author1-link=Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi |title=Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi: Volume 17 |url=https://www.gandhiashramsevagram.org/gandhi-literature/mahatma-gandhi-collected-works-volume-17.pdf |publisher=Publications Division, Government of India |access-date=12 March 2022 |location=New Delhi |page=297 |date=24 February 1919 |quote="in the event of these Bills becoming law and until they are withdrawn, we shall refuse civilly to obey these laws and such other laws as a Committee"}}</ref>
Passed on the recommendations of the [[Rowlatt Committee]] and named after its president, [[Sidney Rowlatt|Sir Sidney Rowlatt]], the act effectively authorized the colonial British government to imprison any person suspected of [[Revolutionary movement for Indian independence|terrorism]] living in [[British Raj|British India]] for up to two years without trial,<ref>{{cite web |last1=Fisher |first1=Herbert Albert Laurens |author1-link=Herbert Albert Laurens Fisher |title=Rowlatt Bills |url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1919/mar/17/rowlatt-bills |website=Hansard |publisher=UK Parliament |access-date=12 March 2022 |date=17 March 1919 |quote="The Government of India has informed the Secretary of State that the Bill, as modified in Select Committee, limits the total period of confinement to two years"}}</ref> and gave the colonial authorities power to deal with all revolutionary activities.

Under the act the chief justice was empowered to decide on the immediate custody of the accused between the trial and release on bail for smooth implementation of the act. The act also provides a penalty for disobedience of any order promulgated.

It was the Rowlatt Act which brought Gandhi to the mainstream of the Indian struggle for independence and ushered in the '''Gandhian Era''' of Indian politics. [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] described Gandhi's entry into the protests in his [[Glimpses of World History]]:
<blockquote>
Early in 1919 he was very ill. He had barely recovered from it when the Rowlatt Bill agitation filled the country. He also joined his voice to the universal outcry. But this voice was somehow different from others. It was quiet and low, and yet it could be heard above the shouting of the multitude; it was soft and gentle, and yet there seemed to be steel hidden away somewhere in it; it was courteous and full of appeal, and yet there was something grim and frightening in it; every word used was full of meaning and seemed to carry a deadly earnestness. Behind the language of peace and friendship there was power and quivering shadow of action and a determination not to submit to a wrong...This was something very different from our daily politics of condemnation and nothing else, long speeches always ending in the same futile and ineffective resolutions of protest which nobody took very seriously.

== Plot ==
Madhava, known as Maddy, is introduced in Manipal as a college dropout drifting through days of drinking and erratic behaviour, his friend DJ Joy repeatedly cleaning up after him. His bitterness toward love is rooted in a village‑days romance with Geetha: the film intercuts his present rut with flashbacks to their adolescent courtship and promises before both leave for higher studies—he to Manipal, she to Bengaluru. Contact grows difficult; when Maddy eventually finds her, Geetha has embraced a different city life and moved on, which shatters him and sends him deeper into self‑destruction. Maddy’s cigarettes marked with Geetha’s name—underline an obsession he cannot shake, while his father’s restrained presence signals a home that cannot rescue him from his spiral.

A chance meeting with Ithihasini (Ithi) pivots the narrative from grievance to tentative repair. As Maddy and Ithi cross paths in the city, the film gradually reveals Ithi’s own history—her close bond with her father, a Hampi guide, and a private trauma that she carries without melodrama. Their relationship develops cautiously; Ithi’s steadiness helps Maddy confront his anger and the small‑town ideals he has weaponised against a changing world. When Maddy is forced to reckon with Geetha’s choices and the man he has become since losing her, the story narrows to whether he will remain trapped in resentment or accept a future shaped by accountability and empathy.

| outcome = Covered 96.9% of households, guiding welfare policies
}}

The '''Telangana 2024 Social Educational Employment Economic Caste Survey (SEEEPC)''' was a state-wide initiative by the [[Government of Telangana]] to gather detailed data on caste, education, employment, income, and political engagement. Launched on 6 November 2024, it surveyed 96.9% of households, approximately 1.12{{nbsp}}million, to inform policies for marginalised groups such as [[Backward Classes]], [[Scheduled Castes]], and [[Scheduled Tribes]]. Released on 3 February 2025, the findings showed Backward Classes comprising 56.33% of the population, shaping discussions on social equity and reservations.

== Background ==
The SEEEPC survey was authorised by the [[Telangana Legislative Assembly]] on 16 February 2024, following a Council of Ministers decision on 4 February 2024.<ref name="HinduLaunch">{{cite web |title=Telangana kicks off comprehensive caste survey |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/door-to-door-survey-launched-in-telangana/article68835646.ece |website=The Hindu |date=November 6, 2024 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref> Driven by the [[Indian National Congress]]-led government's commitment to social justice, the survey aimed to address gaps in caste-based data since the [[2011 Census of India]]. Chief minister [[Revanth Reddy]] hailed it as a transformative step, potentially influencing national demographic studies.<ref name="ExpressFindings">{{cite web |title=Telangana survey: Backward Classes dominate population |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/telangana-caste-survey-backward-classes-more-than-half-of-population-9813759/ |website=The Indian Express |date=February 3, 2025 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref>

The initiative sought to create a robust dataset to support targeted welfare programs, focusing on socio-economic and political inclusion for Telangana's 35.4{{nbsp}}million residents.{{or|date=April 2026}}

== Methodology ==
The survey commenced with household visits starting 6 November 2024, inaugurated by Backward Classes Welfare Minister [[Ponnam Prabhakar]] at the [[Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation]] (GHMC) office.<ref name="HinduLaunch" /> Data collection, intensified from 9 November 2024, concluded within 50{{nbsp}}days, reaching 96.9% of households.<ref name="NewKerala">{{cite web |title=Telangana Assembly concludes with survey focus |url=https://www.newkerala.com/news/2025/17391.htm |website=NewKerala.com |date=February 5, 2025 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref>

=== Implementation ===
* '''Scope''': It covered 1.12 million households, totaling 35,477,554 individuals across 94,261 enumeration blocks.
* '''Personnel''': The effort involved 94,863 enumerators, 9,628 supervisors, and 76,000 data entry operators, who digitized records in 36 days.
* '''Tools''': Enumerators used dual-section forms to collect details on caste, religion, income, employment, education, and welfare scheme access.
* '''Oversight''': The state planning department coordinated the process, with nodal officers and Zonal Commissioners ensuring data integrity.<ref name="ExpressFindings" />

=== Obstacles ===
Challenges included 103,000 inaccessible homes, 168,000 reluctant households, and 84,137 incorrectly classified residences. Districts like Jangaon and Mulugu achieved full coverage, while GHMC reached 65%.<ref name="NIEHyderabad">{{cite web |title=Hyderabad survey reaches 8.41 lakh households |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2024/Nov/17/841-lakh-covered-in-caste-survey-in-hyderabad-municipal-corporation |website=The New Indian Express |date=November 17, 2024 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref>

== Findings ==
Announced on 3 February 2025, the survey's results, submitted to a Cabinet sub-committee, detailed Telangana's demographic composition:<ref name="ExpressFindings" />

The data, gathered voluntarily and confidentially, spanned 75 fields, offering a granular view of socio-economic conditions.<ref name="HinduExpert">{{cite web |title=Telangana forms expert panel for survey analysis |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/telangana-government-forms-independent-experts-panel-to-study-socio-economic-survey-data/article69322861.ece |website=The Hindu |date=February 2025 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref>

== Implications ==
Telangana Minister [[N. Uttam Kumar Reddy]] described the survey as a landmark study, unmatched in rigour since India's independence.<ref name="NewKerala" /> An 11{{nbsp}}member expert panel, chaired by former Supreme Court Justice [[B. Sudershan Reddy]], was tasked with analysing the data to recommend policies.<ref name="HinduExpert" />

The results are poised to expand reservation quotas in education, employment, and politics, potentially exceeding the 50% limit, as pushed by Chief Minister Reddy.<ref name="ExpressFindings" /> The survey's approach has fuelled calls for a nationwide caste census, positioning Telangana as a model.<ref name="NIEPanel">{{cite web |title=Experts caution on survey data misuse |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2025/Apr/08/expert-panel-warns-against-selective-interpretation-of-telangana-survey-data |website=The New Indian Express |date=April 8, 2025 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref>

== Reception ==
The survey's rapid execution, covering 841,000 GHMC households by 17 November 2024, earned widespread notice.<ref name="NIEHyderabad" /> It advanced Congress's social justice agenda, though some opposition figures were critiqued for relying on outdated statistics.<ref name="NewKerala" /> The [[Telangana Legislative Assembly]] highlighted the survey's policy potential before adjourning on 5 February 2025.<ref name="NewKerala" />

[[File:Major River Systems within the Mississippi River Basin.svg|thumb|upright=1.35|The [[Mississippi River]] drains the largest area of any [[United States|U.S.]] river, much of it [[agriculture|agricultural]] regions. Agricultural runoff and other water pollution that flows to the outlet is the cause of the [[dead zone (ecology)|hypoxic or dead zone]] in the [[Gulf of Mexico]].]]

A '''drainage basin''' is an area of land in which all flowing [[surface water]] converges to a single point, such as a [[river mouth]], or flows into another [[body of water]], such as a [[lake]] or [[ocean]]. A basin is separated from adjacent basins by a perimeter, the [[drainage divide]],<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/glossary/a_d/drainage_basin.html |title=drainage basin |work=The Physical Environment |publisher=University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040321033433/http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/glossary/a_d/drainage_basin.html |archive-date=March 21, 2004 }}</ref> made up of a succession of elevated features, such as [[ridge]]s and [[hill]]s.

A drainage basin's boundaries are determined by [[watershed delineation]], a common task in environmental engineering and science.

In a closed drainage basin, or [[endorheic basin]], rather than flowing to the ocean, water converges toward the interior of the basin, known as a [[sink (geography)|sink]], which may be a permanent lake, a [[dry lake]], or a point where surface water is [[Losing stream|lost underground]].<ref name=virginia>{{cite web |url= http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/stormwater_management/hu.shtml |title= Hydrologic Unit Geography |publisher= Virginia Department of Conservation & Recreation |access-date= 21 November 2010 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://archive.today/20121214100316/http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/stormwater_management/hu.shtml |archive-date= 14 December 2012 }}</ref>

Drainage basins are similar but not identical to [[hydrologic unit]]s, which are drainage areas delineated so as to nest into a multi-level hierarchical [[drainage system (geomorphology)|drainage system]]. Hydrologic units are defined to allow multiple inlets, outlets, or sinks. In a strict sense, all drainage basins are hydrologic units, but not all hydrologic units are drainage basins.<ref name=virginia/>

[[File:Ocean drainage.png|thumb|center|upright=3| Major [[continental divide]]s, showing how terrestrial drainage basins drain into the oceans. Grey areas are [[endorheic basin]]s that do not drain to the oceans]]

=== Ocean basins ===
About 48.71% of the world's land drains to the [[Atlantic Ocean]].{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} In [[North America]], surface water drains to the Atlantic via the [[Saint Lawrence River]] and [[Great Lakes]] basins, the [[East Coast of the United States|Eastern Seaboard]] of the United States, the [[Maritimes|Canadian Maritimes]], and most of [[Newfoundland and Labrador]]. Nearly all of [[South America]] east of the [[Andes]] also drains to the Atlantic, as does most of [[Western Europe|Western]] and [[Central Europe]] and the greatest portion of western [[Sub-Saharan Africa]], as well as [[Western Sahara]] and part of [[Morocco]].

The two major [[Mediterranean seas]] of the world also flow to the Atlantic. The [[Caribbean Sea]] and [[Gulf of Mexico]] basin includes most of the U.S. interior between the [[Appalachian Mountains|Appalachian]] and [[Rocky Mountains]], a small part of the Canadian provinces of [[Alberta]] and [[Saskatchewan]], eastern [[Central America]], the islands of the Caribbean and the Gulf, and a small part of northern South America. The [[Mediterranean Sea]] basin, with the [[Black Sea]], includes much of [[North Africa]], east-central [[Africa]] (through the [[Nile River]]), [[Southern Europe|Southern]], Central, and [[Eastern Europe]], [[Turkey]], and the coastal areas of [[Israel]], [[Lebanon]], and [[Syria]].

The [[Arctic Ocean]] drains most of [[Western Canada]] and [[Northern Canada]] east of the [[Continental Divide of the Americas|Continental Divide]], northern [[Alaska]] and parts of [[North Dakota]], [[South Dakota]], [[Minnesota]], and [[Montana]] in the United States, the north shore of the [[Scandinavian Peninsula]] in Europe, central and northern Russia, and parts of [[Kazakhstan]] and [[Mongolia]] in [[Asia]], which totals to about 17% of the world's land.<ref name="Vörösmarty-2000">{{Cite journal|last1=Vörösmarty|first1=C.

Just over 13% of the land in the world drains to the [[Pacific Ocean]].<ref name="Vörösmarty-2000" /> Its basin includes much of China, eastern and southeastern Russia, Japan, the [[Korean Peninsula]], most of Indochina, Indonesia and Malaysia, the Philippines, all of the [[Pacific Islands]], the northeast coast of [[Australia]], and Canada and the United States west of the Continental Divide (including most of Alaska), as well as western Central America and South America west of the Andes.

The [[Indian Ocean]]'s drainage basin also comprises about 13% of Earth's land. It drains the eastern coast of Africa, the coasts of the [[Red Sea]] and the [[Persian Gulf]], the [[Indian subcontinent]], Burma, and most parts of [[Australia]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Largest Drainage Basins in the World |url=https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/largest-drainage-basins-in-the-world.html |work=WorldAtlas |date=17 May 2018}}</ref>

=== Largest river basins ===
The five largest river basins (by area), from largest to smallest, are those of the [[Amazon River|Amazon]] (7 million km{{sup|2}}), the [[Congo River|Congo]] (4 million km{{sup|2}}), the [[Nile River|Nile]] (3.4 million km{{sup|2}}), the [[Mississippi River|Mississippi]] (3.22 million km{{sup|2}}), and the {{Lang|es|[[Río de la Plata]]|italic=no}} (3.17 million km{{sup|2}}). The three rivers that drain the most water, from most to least, are the Amazon, [[Ganges]], and Congo rivers.

=== Endorheic drainage basins ===
[[File:Uureg Nuur.jpg|thumb|[[Endorheic basin]] in [[Central Asia]]]]
{{Main|Endorheic basin}}

[[Endorheic basin]] are inland basins that do not drain to an ocean. Endorheic basins cover around 18% of the Earth's land. Some endorheic basins drain to an [[Endorheic lake]] or [[Inland sea]]. Many of these lakes are [[ephemeral]] or vary dramatically in size depending on climate and inflow. If water evaporates or infiltrates into the ground at its terminus, the area can go by several names, such playa, salt flat, [[dry lake]], or [[alkali sink]].

The largest endorheic basins are in Central [[Asia]], including the [[Caspian Sea]], the [[Aral Sea]], and numerous smaller lakes. Other endorheic regions include the [[Great Basin]] in the United States, much of the [[Sahara Desert]], the drainage basin of the [[Okavango River]] ([[Kalahari Basin]]), highlands near the [[African Great Lakes]], the interiors of [[Australia]] and the [[Arabian Peninsula]], and parts in [[Mexico]] and the [[Andes]]. Some of these, such as the Great Basin, are not single drainage basins but collections of separate, adjacent closed basins.

In endorheic [[bodies of water]] where evaporation is the primary means of water loss, the water is typically more saline than the oceans. An extreme example of this is the [[Dead Sea]].{{citation needed||date=April 2023}}

== Importance ==

=== Geopolitical boundaries ===
Drainage basins have been historically important for determining territorial boundaries, particularly in regions where trade by water has been important. For example, the [[England|English]] crown gave the [[Hudson's Bay Company]] a monopoly on the [[fur trade]] in the entire [[Hudson Bay]] basin, an area called [[Rupert's Land]]. [[bioregionalism|Bioregional]] political organization today includes agreements of states (e.g., international [[treaty|treaties]] and, within the US, [[interstate compact]]s) or other political entities in a particular drainage basin to manage the body or bodies of water into which it drains. Examples of such interstate compacts are the [[Great Lakes Commission]] and the [[Tahoe Regional Planning Agency]].

=== Hydrology ===
[[File:Ohiorivermap.png|thumb|right|Drainage basin of the [[Ohio River]], part of the [[Mississippi River]] drainage basin]]
In [[hydrology]], the drainage basin is a logical unit of focus{{clarify|date=October 2024}} for studying the movement of water within the [[hydrological cycle]]. The process of finding a drainage boundary is referred to as [[watershed delineation]]. Finding the area and extent of a drainage basin is an important step in many areas of science and engineering.

Most of the water that discharges from the basin outlet originated as [[Precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]] falling on the basin.<ref>{{Cite web|title=drainage basin Definition, Example, & Facts|url=https://www.britannica.com/science/drainage-basin|access-date=2021-10-22|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en}}</ref> A portion of the water that enters the [[groundwater]] system beneath the drainage basin may flow towards the outlet of another drainage basin because groundwater flow directions do not always match those of their overlying drainage network. Measurement of the discharge of water from a basin may be made by a [[stream gauge]] located at the basin's outlet. Depending on the conditions of the drainage basin, as rainfall occurs some of it seeps directly into the ground. This water will either remain underground, slowly making its way downhill and eventually reaching the basin, or it will permeate deeper into the soil and consolidate into groundwater aquifers.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Watersheds and Drainage Basins|url=https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/science/watersheds-and-drainage-basins?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects|access-date=2021-10-22 |website=U.S. Geological Survey |date=June 8, 2019 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211022172131/https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/science/watersheds-and-drainage-basins?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects|archive-date=2021-10-22 }}</ref>

As water flows through the basin, it can form tributaries that change the structure of the land. There are three different main types, which are affected by the rocks and ground underneath. Rock that is quick to erode forms [[Wiktionary:dendritic|dendritic]] patterns, and these are seen most often. The two other types of patterns that form are trellis patterns and rectangular patterns.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Earle|first=Steven|date=2015-09-01|title=13.2 Drainage Basins|url=https://opentextbc.ca/geology/chapter/13-2-drainage-basins/|language=en |journal= Physical Geology |publisher=BCcampus Open Publishing |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240415103436/https://opentextbc.ca/geology/chapter/13-2-drainage-basins/ |archive-date= Apr 15, 2024 }}</ref>

Rain gauge data is used to measure total precipitation over a drainage basin, and there are different ways to interpret that data. In the unlikely event that the gauges are many and evenly distributed over an area of uniform precipitation, using the [[arithmetic mean]] method will give good results. In the [[Thiessen polygon]] method, the drainage basin is divided into polygons with the rain gauge in the middle of each polygon assumed to be representative for the rainfall on the area of land included in its polygon. These polygons are made by drawing lines between gauges, then making perpendicular bisectors of those lines form the polygons. The [[isohyet]]al method involves contours of equal precipitation are drawn over the gauges on a map. Calculating the area between these curves and adding up the volume of water is time-consuming.

[[Isochrone map]]s can be used to show the time taken for [[runoff water]] within a drainage basin to reach a lake, reservoir or outlet, assuming constant and uniform effective rainfall.<ref name="hydrolearthsystsci bell 1998">{{cite journal | title=A grid-based distributed flood forecasting model for use with weather radar data: Part 1.

=== Geomorphology ===
Drainage basins are the principal hydrologic unit considered in [[fluvial]] [[geomorphology]]. A drainage basin is the source for water and [[sediment]] that moves from higher elevation through the river system to lower elevations as they reshape the channel forms.

=== Ecology ===
[[File:Hydrographic basin.svg|thumb|upright=1.35|Top-down illustration of a [[Drainage system (geomorphology)|dendritic]] drainage basin. The dashed line is the main water divide of the [[hydrography]] basin.]]
[[File:EN Bazinul hidrografic al Raului Latorita, Romania.jpg|thumb|upright=1.35|Digital [[relief mapping (computer graphics)|terrain map]] of the [[Latorița River]]'s drainage basin in [[Romania]]]]

Drainage basins are important in [[ecology]]. As water flows over the ground and along rivers it can pick up [[Nutrient|nutrients]], [[sediment]], and [[water pollution|pollutants]]. With the water, they are transported towards the outlet of the basin, and can affect the ecological processes along the way as well as in the receiving [[water body]].

Modern use of [[artificial fertilizer]]s, containing [[nitrogen]] (as [[nitrate]]s), [[phosphorus]], and [[potassium]], has affected the mouths of drainage basins. The minerals are carried by the drainage basin to the mouth, and may accumulate there, disturbing the natural mineral balance. This can cause [[eutrophication]] where plant growth is accelerated by the additional material.

=== Resource management ===
{{Further|Watershed management}}
Because drainage basins are coherent entities in a hydrological sense, it has become common to manage water resources on the basis of individual basins. In the [[Minnesota|U.S. state of Minnesota]], governmental entities that perform this function are called "[[Watershed district (Minnesota)|watershed district]]s".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2010-09-07|title=Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (TCMA) Watersheds|url=https://www.pca.state.mn.us/water/twin-cities-metropolitan-area-tcma-watersheds|access-date=2021-09-22|website=Minnesota Pollution Control Agency|language=en}}</ref> In New Zealand, they are called catchment boards. Comparable community groups based in Ontario, Canada, are called [[Conservation authority (Canada)|conservation authorities]]. In North America, this function is referred to as "[[watershed management]]".
In [[Brazil]], the National Policy of Water Resources, regulated by Act n° 9.433 of 1997, establishes the drainage basin as the territorial division of Brazilian water management.

When a river basin crosses at least one political border, either a border within a nation or an international boundary, it is identified as a [[transboundary river]]. Management of such basins becomes the responsibility of the countries sharing it. [[Nile Basin Initiative]], [[OMVS]] for [[Senegal River]], [[Mekong River Commission]] are a few examples of arrangements involving management of shared river basins.

Management of shared drainage basins is also seen as a way to build lasting peaceful relationships among countries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.strategicforesight.com/inner-articles.php?id=310#.WA9Ia-V97GI|title=Water Cooperation for a Secure World|website=www.strategicforesight.com|date = 25 November 2013|last1= bin Talal|first1 = Hassan|last2= Waslekar|first2= Sundeep}}</ref>

== Catchment factors ==
The catchment is the most significant factor determining the amount or likelihood of [[flooding]].

Catchment factors are: [[topography]], shape, size, [[soil]] type, and [[land use]] (paved or [[roof]]ed areas). Catchment topography and shape determine the time taken for [[rain]] to reach the river, while catchment size, soil type, and development determine the amount of water to reach the river.

=== Topography ===
Generally, topography plays a big part in how fast runoff will reach a river. Rain that falls in steep [[mountain]]ous areas will reach the primary river in the drainage basin faster than flat or lightly sloping areas (e.g., > 1% gradient).

=== Shape ===
Shape will contribute to the speed with which the runoff reaches a river. A long thin catchment will take longer to drain than a circular catchment.

=== Size ===
Size will help determine the amount of water reaching the river, as the larger the catchment the greater the potential for flooding. It is also determined on the basis of length and width of the drainage basin.

=== Soil type ===
Soil type will help determine how much water reaches the river. The runoff from the drainage area is dependent on the soil type. Certain soil types such as [[sand]]y soils are very free-draining, and rainfall on sandy soil is likely to be absorbed by the ground. However, soils containing [[clay]] can be almost impermeable and therefore rainfall on clay soils will run off and contribute to flood volumes. After prolonged rainfall even free-draining soils can become [[wikt:saturated|saturated]], meaning that any further rainfall will reach the river rather than being absorbed by the ground. If the surface is impermeable the precipitation will create surface run-off which will lead to higher risk of flooding; if the ground is permeable, the precipitation will infiltrate the soil.<ref name="Huneau-2013" />

=== Land use ===
Land use can contribute to the volume of water reaching the river, in a similar way to clay soils. For example, rainfall on roofs, [[sidewalk|pavements]], and [[road]]s will be collected by rivers with almost no absorption into the [[groundwater]].
A drainage basin is an area of land where all flowing surface water converges to a single point, such as a river mouth, or flows into another body of water, such as a lake or ocean.

'''The Saint Francis Xavier Church''' in [[Kovilur, Dharamapuri]] is the oldest parish church in the diocese. It is called the mother church and the first [[Parish]] in the entire diocese. This church has been in service over 100 years, but over 300 years catholic and priests where present in this village. Now this church is serving under the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Dharmapuri|Dharamapuri Diocese]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://dharmapuridiocese.com/cms/public_view/list-parishes.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130825175657/http://www.dharmapuridiocese.com/cms/public_view/list-parishes.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=August 25, 2013|title=Dharmapuri Diocese}}</ref>

==History==
By the time of Mysore missionaries, this village was known as Bellagoundanahalli and Velliyan Pettai, but after the church was set up, villagers began to call it Kolvilur.<ref>Saruthira Surrukam - Salem Diocese</ref> Since from 1704 priests from [[Society of Jesus]] where settled in this village and started holy services. A small chapel was built here during the 1720s and was maintained by a [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit priest]] for over 100 years.<ref>History of Dharamapuri Diocese - Fr A. Susairaj</ref> Since the 1830s [[Paris Foreign Missions Society|M.E.P priests]] have been taking care of this church services since then Fr. Abbe Dubois and Fr. Mark Arokiyanadhar have been working here as priests since then around 28 [[Paris Foreign Missions Society|Paris (MEP) priests]] have worked here.<ref>Catholic Record of Salem Diocese Fr. Abe Bubey</ref>

Kovilur was remarkably improved in hospitality and in primary education during Fr. Thirion Francis Joseph's 29-year period serving this parish (between 1856 and 1885). As a result of the food crisis in southern India in 1847, Fr. Thirion helped many people around [[Bommidi]] and Mallapuram, making many people convert to [[Catholicism]]. [[Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary]] (FIHM) convent was built in 1864 and started the mission. The St. Thomas primary school for girls was completed in 1867. The school was upgraded to a higher secondary school in 1999. In 1871, a school for boys was completed not this is serving as St. John's Higher Sec School.

Around 1820s Catholics from [[Koviloor, Tirupattur]] (different village) settled in the nearby village of [[Poolapatti]]. In Kovilur, half of the Catholics were from nearby village Savur and Sowkarpet. Sowkarpet vanished between 1880 and 1890 because the villagers had left the village and moved to [[Kolar Gold Fields]] as mining workers.

Fr. Surrel initiated construction of this church in 1897 and then the construction was continued by the next parish priest, Fr. Perez, who completed the construction. Fr. Perez painted the interior of this church with bible art work, and on September 11, 1912, this church was opened to the public. The tower of this church was additionally constructed in 1962 by Father Paul Thalat, and this gives the church a grand look.

The Nirmala Clinical Hospital was started in 1972 by the [[French people|French]] woman Dennis, and from 1974 it has been under the care of the [[Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Apostles]](SRA). After 100 years this church was renovated in 2012 still serving to local catholic.<ref>{{cite web |last=Kaspar |first=Michael |date=21 December 2024 |title=India: “Faith Rekindled -A Journey of Renewal and Devotion” at St. Francis Xavier Church, Kovilur, Dharmapuri |url=https://www.cssr.news/2024/12/india-faith-rekindled-a-journey-of-renewal-and-devotion-at-st-francis-xavier-church-kovilur-dharmapuri/ |website=cssr.com |location=Kovilur, Dharmapuri |publisher=Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris |access-date=29 October 2025}}</ref>

Two priests [[Joseph-Isidore Godelle]] and [[Melchior de Marion Brésillac]], who served in this church became bishops of [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Coimbatore|Coimbatore]] and [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Pondicherry and Cuddalore|Pondicherry]], respectively.

Polyandry in India

{{Anthropology of kinship |studies}}
'''Polyandry in India''' refers to the practice of [[polyandry]], whereby a woman has two or more husbands at the same time, either historically on the Indian subcontinent or currently in the country of [[India]]. An early example can be found in the Hindu epic ''[[Mahābhārata]]'', in which [[Draupadi]], daughter of the king of [[Panchala]], is married to five brothers.<ref name="India, Past and Present">{{cite book |title=India, Past and Present, Historical, Social, and Political | first = James |last= Samuelson |year=1890 |publisher=Trübner & Co. |place= London |url=https://archive.org/stream/pli.kerala.rare.6522#page/n0|pages=18, 20, 46, 47 |access-date= 6 September 2018 |via=Internet Archive}}</ref>

Polyandry was mainly prevalent in the [[Kinnaur]] region, a part of [[Himachal Pradesh]] in India which is close to the [[Tibet]] or currently the [[China–India border]]. As mentioned in the epic ''Mahabharata'', the [[Pandavas]] were banished from their kingdom for thirteen years and they spent the last year hiding in this hilly terrain of Kinnaur. Some Kinnauris claim that this practice has been inherited from the Pandavas, who they identify as their ancestors.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} The [[Jaunsari people]] similarly identify their practice of polyandry with their descent from the Pandavas.

Polyandry is also seen in [[South India]] among the [[Toda people|Todas]] tribes of [[Nilgiris (mountains)|Nilgiri]]s, Nanjanad Vellala of [[Travancore]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lakshmi Raghunandan |title=At the Turn of the Tide: The Life and Times of Maharani Setu Lakshmi Bayi, the Last Queen of Travancore|year=1995 |page=185}}</ref> While polyandrous unions have disappeared from the traditions of many of the groups and tribes, it is still practiced by some in the [[Jaunsar-Bawar]] region in [[North India]].

Recent years have seen the rise in [[fraternal polyandry]] in the [[agrarian societies]] in [[Malwa (Punjab)|Malwa]] region of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] to avoid division of farming land.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120211155730/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-07-16/india/27861707_1_agrarian-crisis-family-farm-punjab "Draupadis bloom in rural Punjab"] ''[[The Times of India]]''. 16 July 2005.</ref>

==Legal developments==

Section 494 and 495 of the [[Indian Penal Code]] of 1860, prohibited polygamy for the Christians. In 1955, the [[Hindu Marriage Act]] was drafted, which prohibited marriage of a Hindu whose spouse was still living. Thus [[polygamy]] became illegal in [[India]] in 1956.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=XFtcAgAAQBAJ&q=india+polygamy+law&pg=PA189 ''Modern Indian Family Law'', Werner Menski, Routledge, 2013 p. 194] {{ISBN?}}</ref>

==Himachal Pradesh==
{{Unreferenced section|date=December 2015}}
Polyandry is in practice in many villages of [[Kinnaur]] district of [[Himachal Pradesh]]. Fraternal polyandry (where husbands are related to each other) is mainly in practice in villages, where the societies are male dominated and which still follow ancient rituals and customs.

There are many forms of polyandry which can be found here. Most often, all the brothers are married to a woman and sometimes the marriage to brothers happens at a later date. The wife can only ascertain the blood-relationship of the children, though recently there have been a few instances of [[paternity test]]s using [[DNA]] samples to resolve inheritance disputes. The rules for breaking the marriage are strict and a brother going against the marriage agreement can be treated as an outcast while losing his entire share in the property.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Negi|first1=Sunder Kala|last2=Singh|first2=Hoshiar|date=2014|title=Marital Satisfaction and Well Being among Fraternal Polyandrous and Monogamous Tribal People of Kinnaur|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331816023|journal=Irc's International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research in Social & Management Sciences|volume=2|issue=4|pages=47–57}}</ref>

Historically, fraternal polyandry has been practiced by wealthier families, associated with a higher [[Caste system in India|caste]], in Kinnaur as a way to keep wealth within one family. This allowed for land to be properly inherited and kept in one family. It was assurance that the land and wealth held by one family could not be partitioned. Those in lower castes also practiced fraternal polyandry if they had a larger amount of land.<ref name=":03">{{Cite journal |last=Aghaghia |first=Rahimzadeh |date=October 2020 |title=Fraternal Polyandry and Land Ownership in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/2473341683 |journal=Human Ecology |volume=48 |issue=5 |page=574 |id={{ProQuest|2473341683}} }}</ref>

The territory of Kinnaur remained forbidden for many years as the land route was only established 30 years ago. The joint families are now fragmented into nuclear families. The level of economies and financial resources have transformed the life of the people of Kinnaur into city.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Gautam|first1=Rajesh K|last2=Kshatriya|first2=Gautam K|title=Polyandry: A Case Study of Kinnauras|url=https://www.academia.edu/4466645|journal=Indian Journal of Physical Anthropology|volume=30|issue=1–2|date=2011|pages=146–161}}</ref>

The evidence presented for such a custom during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries primarily stems from accounts provided by foreign travelers who were prohibited from approaching within sixty yards of a Nair's residence. Consequently, their testimonies offer an exceedingly unsatisfactory basis for definitive conclusions regarding Nair customs. Conversely, the extensive Malayalam literature on the subject provides a more nuanced and culturally informed perspective.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Panikkar |first=K.

==Punjab and Haryana==
In certain areas of Punjab, especially the [[Bathinda]] and [[Mansa district, India|Mansa]] districts of Malwa region, poor farmers follow the practice of polyandry under economic compulsion to avoid further fragmentation of their already small landholdings. A study conducted in 2019 by [[Panjab University]] found evidence of polyandry in Haryana and Punjab. The study culminated in the book ''Gender Culture and Honour'' and found cases of wife sharing in the districts of Yamunanagar in Haryana and Mansa and Fatehgarh Sahib of Punjab.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/modern-draupadis-exist-in-mansa-villages/articleshow/7847515.cms | title=Modern Draupadis exist in Mansa villages | website=[[The Times of India]] | date=2 April 2011 }}</ref>

Polyandrous union occurs in this region when a woman marries the eldest son in a family. The woman automatically becomes the wife of all his brothers upon her marriage. The brothers can be married to more than one woman if the first woman was sterile or if the age difference of the brothers were large. The wife is shared equally by all brothers and no one in the group has exclusive privilege to the wife.

'''''Dashakumaracharita''''' (''The narrative of ten young men'', [[IAST]]: ''Daśa-kumāra-Carita'', [[Devanagari]]: दशकुमारचरित) is a prose romance in [[Sanskrit]], attributed to [[Daṇḍin|Dandin]] (दण्डी), written in the seventh to eighth centuries CE.

It describes the adventures of ten young men, the ''Kumaras'', who are the sons of princes and royal ministers.

The seventh chapter of the ''Dashakumaracharita'' contains a specimen of [[lipogram|lipogrammatic writing]] (a species of [[constrained writing]]). At the beginning of the chapter, Mantragupta is called upon to relate his adventures. However, during the previous night of vigorous lovemaking, his lips have been nibbled several times by his beloved; as a result, they are now swollen, making it painful for him to close them. Thus, throughout his narrative, he is compelled to refrain from using any [[labial consonants]] (प,फ,ब,भ,म).

== The text ==
Most extant texts of ''Dashakumaracharita'' are composed of
# ''Pūrvapīthikā'' (पूर्वपीठिका, Prologue) divided into 5 chapters (''Ucchvāsa'', उच्छ्वास);
# The ''Dashakumaracharita'' proper, divided into 8 chapters;
# The ''Uttarapīthikā'' (उत्तरपीठिका, Epilogue), without any subdivisions.

Some text at the beginning and the end of ''Dashakumaracharita'' proper has been lost; thus it contains only eight of the ten narratives, and furthermore, the stories of Rajavahan and Vishruta are incomplete. The 1st and the 3rd parts seem to have been added later by various authors (some of whom have tried to mimic the style of the original); indeed, there are several disparate versions for these parts in existence.<ref name="Kale, 1966"/>{{page needed|date=March 2014}}

The plot, as described below, almost makes a coherent whole. However, as mentioned above, it comes from the hands of multiple authors writing in possibly different centuries. There are small discrepancies between the three parts; e.g., the patronage of Pramati as described in the prologue disagrees with the one in ''Dashakumaracharita'' proper.

=== The Kumaras ===

The ten Kumaras are named in the first chapter of the prologue as follows:
# Rājavāhana (राजवाहन)
# Sōmadatta (सोमदत्त)
# Pushpōdbhava (पुष्पोद्भव)
# Apahāravarmana (अपहारवर्मन)
# Upahāravarmana (उपहारवर्मन)
# Arthapāla (अर्थपाल)
# Pramati (प्रमति)
# Mitragupta (मित्रगुप्त)
# Mantragupta (मंत्रगुप्त)
# Vishruta (विश्रुत).

=== Prologue ===

The first two chapters of the prologue form the [[frame story]].

==== I ====

King Rajahamsa of [[Magadha (Mahajanapada)|Magadha]] is defeated in a war by the rival King Manasara of [[Malwa]], and thence retires into the [[Vindhya]] forest together with his ministers. During his sojourn, he and his ministers respectively sire sons. Several other young men are brought to his dwelling due to various incidents (e.g., one is rescued from a river, another from a tiger, and still another wanders off from a battlefield during a skirmish). These altogether make the ten ''Kumaras''. The men are schooled in several disciplines such as law, grammar, astrology, music, medicine and warfare.

==== II ====
The men are dispatched together by the King for a [[Digvijaya (conquest)|Digvijaya]] (world conquest). Prince Rajavahana comes across a ''Matanga'' [[Brahmin|Brahmana]]. The latter lures him into a scheme to conquer [[Patala]] (the netherworld), and the two disappear into the earth through a chasm. After the scheme is accomplished (and the Brahmana marries the daughter of the King of [[Asura]]s), Rajavahana returns to earth, only to find that his friends have all scattered away. Eventually, the young men will meet again and relate their adventures, which will form the body of the present work.

Rajavahana travels to [[Ujjain]], where he meets Somadatta. The latter begins his narrative.

==== III ====

Somadatta had gone to Ujjain in search of the lost Prince, where King Mattakala has usurped King Viraketu. Somadatta finds a jewel near a river, and then gives it to a destitute Brahmana in charity. The latter has him imprisoned as a jewel thief. Somadatta discovers that his fellow prisoners are loyal to the minister of King Viraketu. They break free from the prison, raise an army and overthrow the usurper. The old king is restored to the throne and Somadatta marries his daughter. At the end of this narrative, Rajavahana and Somadatta accidentally meet Pushpodbhava and ask him to relate his adventures. The latter begins his narrative.

==== IV ====

Pushpodbhava saves a man falling from a cliff, who turns out to be his father, who had tried to commit suicide after becoming despondent for having lost his family. Shortly afterwards, he saves a woman from throwing herself in fire due to grief; this turns out to be his mother. Later Pushpodbhava acquires vast wealth by applying magical [[collyrium]] to his eyes to detect subterranean riches. He becomes enamoured of the beautiful damsel Balachandrika, who is facing unwelcome advances from a certain Daruvarma. Pushpodbhava spreads a report that Balachandrika is possessed by a [[Yaksha]]. He accompanies Balachandrika to Daruvarma's apartment disguised as her female attendant, kills him when he tries to sport with her, and blames the death on the Yaksha. He then marries Balachandrika.

==== V ====

Rajavahana relates his adventures. He had gone to the town of [[Ujjain|Avanti]] where he became enamoured of Princess Avantisundari (the daughter of Manasara, his father's enemy). Meanwhile, Manasara has temporarily abdicated his kingdom to practice penance and left Chandavarman in charge. Rajavahana and Avantisundari are married by a friendly conjurer who makes Chandavarman believe that the wedding ceremony is a delusion. The couple retires into a private chamber for amorous sport.

=== The ''Dashakumaracharita'' proper ===

In Chapter I, the text begins in the middle of Rajavahana's story.

==== I ====

The lovers are discovered by royal attendants and reported to Chandavarman, who becomes furious, arrests Rajavahana and imprisons him in a wooden cage. Then Chandavarman launches a military campaign against his rival King Simhavarman (carrying along the wooden cage onto the battlefield) and vanquishes him. Meanwhile, a message arrives from Manasara commanding that Rajavahana be executed. As he is about to be trampled to death by an elephant, the chain tied to his feet falls off and is revealed to be a nymph who had previously been cursed into assuming that form. Meanwhile, Chandavarman is killed by a thief. Several military allies of Simhavarman arrive at the scene, amongst whom all of Rajavahana's remaining missing friends are found. Now Apaharavarman is asked to relate his adventures.

==== II ====

Apaharavarman travelled to the city of [[Champa]], where he became a gamester and a burglar and helped the maiden Kulapalika to gain her lover by enriching her with burgled wealth. A devious prostitute named Kamanamanjari had defrauded several people in that city. Apaharavarman falls in love with her sister Ragamanjari, tricks Kamanamanjari into giving back her money to her former paramours, and marries the sister. Later he rashly attacks a soldier and is imprisoned. The jailor Kantaka uses his services to dig a tunnel out of the prison into the royal palace since Karnataka is enamoured of the princess and wishes to visit her in secret. However, Apaharavarman kills the jailor and escapes through the tunnel.

==== III ====

Next, Upaharavarman relates his adventures. He had returned to his own country [[Videha]] in search of the Prince. He meets his old nurse who informs him that his father's kingdom has been usurped by King Vikatavarman. He entices the king into a trap to perform a magical rite in order to exchange his (the King's) old and shrivelled body for a new one and succeeds in killing him. The kingdom is restored to his father.

==== IV ====

Arthapala narrates his adventures. He had gone to [[Varanasi|Kashi]] where he heard the plight of Kampala (his father, and a former royal minister). The latter was sentenced to death by the evil King Simhaghosha. While Kampala is being led to his execution, Arthapala drops a poisonous snake on his body and makes him fall down senseless. The seemingly dead body is carried away and later restored to life by Arthapala (who knows anti-poison charms). Later Arthapala overthrows Simhaghosha and marries the princess Manikarnika.

==== V ====

Pramati relates his adventures. While travelling through the Vindhya mountains, he fell asleep under a tree. During the night he was transported by a nymph to the palace of the princess Navamalika, with whom he fell in love. In order to gain the princess, he hatches a plan in consort with a Brahmana (whom he has met at a cock-fight). The Brahmana dresses Pramati in female garb, and leaves 'her' in the protection of the King (Navamalika's father) telling the King that 'she' is the Brahmana's daughter. While in the palace, Pramati wins the princess's affection, but then absconds and joins the Brahmana. The two approach the King, and the Brahmana presents Pramati as his prospective son-in-law who has come to claim his future wife. The King is, of course, unable to produce her, and is forced to give up his own daughter in order to propitiate the Brahmana (who otherwise threatens to immolate himself). Thus Pramati is wedded to Navamalika.

==== VI ====

Mitragupta relates his adventures. He had travelled to the [[Suhma]] country, where, by the grace of the goddess [[Durga]], the king had obtained two children, a son (Bhimadhanva) and a daughter (Kandukavati). The goddess had stipulated that the son should be subordinate to the daughter's husband. The princess chooses Mitragupta as her husband in a public festival. This infuriates Bhimadhanva (who resents being subordinated to a stranger) and he throws Mitragupta into the sea. He is rescued by a passing vessel of [[Yavana]]s who want to hold him as a slave. However, at the same time, their ship is attacked by Bhimadhanva's party. Mitragupta helps the Yavanas in repelling the attack and wins their favour. The ship drifts off to an island and Mitragupta lands on the shore. There he meets a [[Rakshasa]] who threatens to eat him unless he answers the following four questions: 1. What is cruel by nature? 2. What ensures the happiness of a householder? 3. What is love? and 4. What is the best means of achieving difficult things? He answers 1. The heart of a woman, 2. The virtues of a wife, 3. Imagination and 4. Ability. He illustrates his answers by four stories (told in full in the text). The Rakshasa is appeased by these answers. Just then, another Rakshasa is seen forcibly carrying the princess Kandukavati through the air. She is rescued and then married to Mitragupta.

==== VII ====

Mantragupta relates his adventures, in a speech which is entire ''niroshthya'' (निरोष्ठ्य, i.e., without labial consonants). One night he sees that a [[Siddha]] (sorcerer) is about to sacrifice the princess Kanakalekha of [[Kalinga (historical kingdom)|Kalinga]] in order to obtain miraculous powers. He kills the sorcerer and rescues the princess who falls in love with him. The sorcerer's slave (a ghost) is overjoyed to be freed from his master and clandestinely carries Mantragupta into the palace, where he lives with the princess in the ladies chambers. One day, as the king of Kalinga (and the princess), is away on a hunting expedition, their entire retinue is surprised and made captive by the rival king Jayasimha. The latter wishes to possess the princess, who resists his advances. In order to rescue her, Mantragupta dresses in the rags and severed hair of the sorcerer and presents himself as an ascetic possessing magical powers. He convinces Jayasimha to bathe in a presumably enchanted lake which would frighten away the [[Yaksha]] who has presumably possessed the princess. Mantragupta hides himself in a cavity along the bank of the lake and drowns Jayasimha when the latter enters. He issues forth as the King (who has acquired a new lustrous body), frees the old king and marries the princess.

==== VIII ====

Vishruta begins to relate his adventures. While wandering through the Vindhya forest, he comes across a young boy accompanied by an old servant. The boy is the prince of Vidarbha whose kingdom has been usurped. This had forced the queen Vasundhara to take refuge (with her son and daughter) with Mitravarma, who proved to be a treacherous ally. Thus the queen is compelled to send away the boy to safety. Vishruta takes upon himself to help the boy. He sends back the servant and instructs him to spread a false report that the young prince is dead. He also sends a poisonous garland to the queen which she uses to kill Mitravarma. Then Vishruta arrives in the city with the young boy, restores the kingdom and meets the queen in a temple of [[Durga]]. The boy is restored to his rightful throne, and Vishruta marries the princess.

The text breaks off in the middle of Vishruta's story.

=== Epilogue ===

Later Vishruta restores the kingdom of Vidarbha to King Bhaskarvarman by leading an expedition against the usurper Vasantabhanu.

After the narratives have ended, a messenger arrives from the old King Rajahamsa (father of Prince Rajavahana). The King had been very mournful when the ''Kumaras'' had scattered away, but was comforted by a seer who assured him that they would return after sixteen years. This interval has now come to pass. The ''Kumaras'' return with an army to Ujjain, and succeed in defeating King Manasara. Various kingdoms are distributed to the ''Kumaras'', which they govern with justice and happiness to all.

== Authorship and relationship with the ''Avantisundarī'' ==

There has been extensive debate about the authorship of the ''Dashakumaracharita''. The author is traditionally regarded as the poet and grammarian [[Daṇḍin]] who composed the ''[[Kavyadarsha]]'', a manual on poetry and [[rhetoric]], and according to Yigal Bronner, 'there is now a wide consensus that a single Daṇḍin authored all these works at the Pallava court in Kāñcī around the end of the seventh century'.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Bronner | first1 = Yigal | year = 2012 | title = A Question of Priority: Revisiting the Bhamaha-Daṇḍin Debate | journal = The Journal of Indian Philosophy | volume = 40 | issue = 1| pages = 67–118 [77] | doi = 10.1007/s10781-011-9128-x | s2cid = 171069782 }}</ref>

In the early twentieth century, Agashe doubted this attribution on the grounds that the two works differ very widely in style and tone. Since a poet ''Dandin'' (presumably distinct from a prose writer) is also mentioned in sundry ancient Indian texts, he is led to conjecture the existence of at least three distinct ''Dandin''s. Since ''Dandin'' (literally, a staff-bearer) is also a common adjective for ascetics or religious mendicants, Wilson doubted whether it was the author's proper name at all.

On the other hand, in the mid twentieth century Kale accepted that ''Kavyadarsha'' and ''Dashakumaracharita'' had been written by the same person. On the basis of textual evidence from the ''Dashakumaracharita'', he opines that the author must have lived earlier than the [[Muslim invasion of India]], i.e., before the 11th century. Moreover, since the ''Kavyadarsha'' refers to the Prakrit poem [[Setubandha]] (सेतुबंध) composed in the 5th century, he is led to 6th-8th century as the most probable time of composition. (This remains in some tension with the fact that ''Dashakumaracharita'' is not referred to by any other text until the 10th century.<ref>Agashe, 1919.</ref>{{page needed|date=March 2014}} There is also a conflicting tradition, generally considered unreliable,<ref name="Kale, 1966">Kale, 1966.</ref>{{page needed|date=March 2014}} which makes ''Dandin'' a contemporary of [[Kalidasa]].)

=== Relationship with the ''Avantisundarī'' ===

Another work attributed to [[Daṇḍin]] is the ''Avantisundarī'' or ''Avantisundarīkathā'' (The Story of the Beautiful Lady from Avanti).<ref>''Avantisundarī kathā and Avantisundarī kathāsāra'', ed. by S. K. Ramanatha Sastri (Madras: Dixon Press, 1924); ''Avantisundarī of Ācārya Daṇḍin'', ed. by Sūranād Kunjan Pillai, Trivandrum Sanskrit Series, 172 (Trivandrum: University of Travancore, 1954); ''Avantisundarī kathāsāra'', ed. by G. Harihara Sastri (Madras: Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute, 1957).</ref> Like the ''Dashakumaracharita'' this is in prose, but is even more fragmentarily preserved: the two surviving manuscripts break off early in the text. A later Sanskrit poem, the ''Avantisundarīkathāsāra'' (Gist of the Story of the Beautiful Lady from Avanti) seems to have summarised the full story, and its surviving portion covers more of the story, and more again is preserved in a thirteenth-century Telugu translation. These texts overlap significantly with the stories in the ''Dashakumaracharita''.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Bronner | first1 = Yigal | year = 2012 | title = A Question of Priority: Revisiting the Bhamaha-Daṇḍin Debate | journal = The Journal of Indian Philosophy | volume = 40 | issue = 1| pages = 67–118 [72–73] | doi = 10.1007/s10781-011-9128-x | s2cid = 171069782 }}</ref> Precisely how the ''Dashakumaracharita'' and the ''Avantisundarī'' originally related is unclear. Although many have argued that the two must have been composed by different people, the ''Avantisundarī'' too is 'unmistakably ascribed to Daṇḍin by its colophons and by later sources'.

<blockquote>Several eminent scholars now believe on stylistic and other grounds that, as suggested by the verse summary and its Telugu translation, both the ''Avantisundarī'' and
the ''Daśakumāracarita'' originally formed a single massive prose work that was broken up at a relatively early age in its transmission; another view is that the two represent separate stages in the life and work of the same author.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Bronner | first1 = Yigal | year = 2012 | title = A Question of Priority: Revisiting the Bhamaha-Daṇḍin Debate | journal = The Journal of Indian Philosophy | volume = 40 | issue = 1| pages = 67–118 [75, 77] | doi = 10.1007/s10781-011-9128-x | s2cid = 171069782 }}</ref></blockquote>

== Editions and commentaries ==

The first translation, into [[Telugu language|Telugu]], was produced by [[Mulaghatika Ketana|Ketana]] in c. 1250.<ref>{{ cite book | pages = 462–465 | title = History of Classical Sanskrit Literature | year = 1974 | last = Srinivasachariar | first = M. | publisher = Motilal Banarsidass Publishers | isbn = 9788120802841 }}</ref> Editions of the original Sanskrit text have been published in modern times by Agashe, Godbole and Parab, Kale, and Wilson. The work has been translated into English by Haksar, Jacob, Kale, Onians, and Ryder. In particular, the edition by Kale includes the original in Sanskrit, a literal English translation, as well as an extensive commentary on the stylistic and historical aspects of the text. In her translation of the lipogrammatic chapter, Onians omits the labial roman letters 'b', 'm' and 'p'. (E.g., she uses the circumlocution 'honey-creator' instead of 'bumblebee'). There is also a translation into German by Mayer.

Critical commentaries on the text have been written by, ''inter alia'', [[Ghanashyama]],<ref>{{ cite encyclopaedia | page = 1386 | title = Ghanashyama | encyclopaedia = Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature | volume = 2 | year = 1988 | isbn = 9788126011940| last1 = Datta | first1 = Amaresh }}</ref> Gupta and Pankaj. A more extensive bibliography may be found in Onians.

== Historical research ==

The ''Dashakumaracharita'' has been used to examine the creation of the [[Ajanta Caves]], interpreting it as an extended metaphoric telling of the 5th-century fall of the [[Vākāṭaka dynasty]], and a comparison to the 7th-century [[Pallava dynasty]], which is the period that the work is conventionally dated to.<ref>{{ cite journal | jstor = 604735 | title = An Analysis of Daṇḍin's Daśakumāracarita and Its Implications for Both the Vākāṭaka and Pallava Courts | last = DeCaroli | first = Robert | journal = Journal of the American Oriental Society | year = 1995 | volume = 115 | issue = 4 | pages = 671–678 | doi=10.2307/604735}}</ref> Spink argues that the work has an essentially historical core, almost readable as a [[roman a clef]], which is an accurate account of the Vākāṭaka fall and that Dandin (or one of the Dandins) had a personal, perhaps familial, connection to the events in the 5th century.<ref>{{ cite book | title = Ajanta: The end of the Golden Age | last = Spink | first = Walter M. | year = 2005 | isbn = 9789004148321 | publisher = BRILL | pages = 119–162}}</ref> Evidence from the text has also been used to establish the spread of the worship of [[Vindhyavasini]] in the period.<ref>{{ cite encyclopaedia | page = 203 | title = The Goddess of the Vindhyas in Banaras | encyclopaedia = Living Banaras: Hindu Religion in Cultural Context | date = January 1993 | isbn = 9780791413319 | publisher = SUNY press}}</ref>

== Criticism and analysis ==

The ''Dashakumaracharita'' has been compared to the Spanish genre of [[picaresque]], linking the settings and drawing parallels 6th-century disorder of India to the disorder of Spain in the late mediaeval period. It has also been noted that the ''Dashakumaracharita'', while fantastic, has realism that is not present in contemporary prestigious works, and involves thieves, prostitutes and other less exalted members of society.<ref>{{ cite encyclopaedia | title = The Daśakumāracarita as Picaresque | last = Gray | first = J.

== Art career ==
The concern and contemplation on multiple aspects related to Mother Nature get expressed by works of Artist Uma Bardhan. She weaves her protagonists, Hindu God and Goddess, women, birds and other natural elements into visual thoughts, into strokes of spirituality as one breathe in the colors, flow with the textures and soak in the spirit of mother nature. Being spiritual at heart Hindu God & Goddess always remains as part of her theme.<ref name="Faith and its colour elements">{{cite web|url=http://www.millenniumpost.in/NewsContent.aspx?NID=96615|title=Faith and its colour elements|author=Millennium Post|publisher=}}</ref>

In another exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts, Bardhan portrays the predominance of artificial environment prevalent in present-day city life as a contrast to the pristine beauty of nature in rural life. This series is hugely inspired by her formative years in Kolkata and the time she spent travelling to the interior villages and tribal areas of Bengal—a motif which keeps recurring in her works.

== Water Color on Silk ==
[[File:Mud house .jpg|thumb|Watercolor on Silk (1998). Private collection.]]
She is one of a very few artist who uses a medium "Water Colour on Silk". A painstaking process
where a special silk cloth is mounted on board before it can be used for painting.<ref name=":0" /> The reason it's not so popular might be due to the fact that it is a relatively painstaking process where a special silk cloth is mounted on board before being used as a painting. The silk cloth is arranged from [[Murshidabad district|Murshidabad]] district of West Bengal, famously known as murshidabad silk, and at first washed silk cloth by hand or in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with warm water. followed by mounting on paper board with adhesive. As water colors would tend to bleed/run more than the other paints it is required to keep the paints fairly thick without too much water added in. She applies adhesive over the mounted silk cloth to hold the water color otherwise it will spread & leave it for 2 to 3 hours for drying. The amount of adhesive to be applied over the silk cloth is tricky as one have to be very careful as two much adhesive might not be good.

The '''Mindhal Mata Temple''' (also called the '''Mindhal Devi Temple''', and the temple of Chámunda) is in the [[Pangi Valley]], situated on the left bank of the [[Chenab River]], opposite Sách. The temple has been a place of pilgrimage from ancient time. A mela is held here in [[Bhadrapada|Bhádon]], and is frequented by people from all the neighbouring valleys. The people spend their time at this mela in drinking and dancing. The priest and ''chela'' are [[Brahmin|Brahmans]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Hutchison |first=J. |title=Gazetteer of the Chamba State, Part A |publisher=Punjab Government Press |location=Lahore |year=1904 |page=294 |url=https://archive.org/details/ChambaState/page/293/mode/2up |access-date=2025-06-26 }}</ref>

== Location ==

Mindhal is situated in the remote and mountainous [[Pangi Valley|Pangi]] region, part of the [[Chamba district]]. The area is known for its rugged terrain, traditional wooden architecture, and deeply rooted spiritual traditions.

== Structure==

The temple is square in shape, with a pent roof in the usual style of deví temples in the hills. The structure is of wood and stone, and consists of a central cella with two verandahs, one being enclosed and the other open. The image is of black stone in human form, which is believed to have risen out of the ground, and to extend downwards to a great depth.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hutchison |first=J. |title=Gazetteer of the Chamba State, Part A |publisher=Punjab Government Press |location=Lahore |year=1904 |page=294 |url=https://archive.org/details/ChambaState/page/293/mode/2up |access-date=2025-06-26 }}</ref>

== Legends and history ==
[[File:Temple_of_Chamunda_at_Mindhal.png|thumb|Temple of Chamunda at Mindhal. From ''Antiquities of Chamba State, Part I'' (1911) by J. Ph. Vogel.]]
There is a legend associated with Mindhal Devi. The spot where the temple now stands was originally occupied by a house with an upper and lower storey—typical of homes in [[Pangi Valley]]. The house belonged to a widow who lived there with her seven sons. One day, in early autumn, while she was cooking in the upper storey, a black stone suddenly appeared in the ''[[chulha]]'' (hearth), causing her great annoyance. She tried to push it away, but her efforts were in vain. Eventually, she began to tremble, and realized that the stone was a manifestation of a [[Devi]] (goddess).

Startled, she rushed outside and called out to her sons, who were ploughing a nearby field with two [[Ox|oxen]] per plough, telling them that a ''deví'' had appeared in their house. The sons dismissed her claim and mockingly asked if the goddess would allow them to plough using only one ox, or provide them with a ''sisan'' (a local term, possibly referring to a specific agricultural tool or divine aid). Immediately, as punishment for their disbelief, the widow and her sons were turned to stone—the mother inside the house, and the sons out in the field. From that time onward, it is said that only one ox is used per plough in Mindhal, and the area has been considered an ''[[ādān]]'' (a tax-free religious land grant) for many centuries.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hutchison |first=J. |title=Gazetteer of the Chamba State, Part A |publisher=Punjab Government Press |location=Lahore |year=1904 |page=189 |url=https://archive.org/details/ChambaState/page/188/mode/2up |access-date=2025-06-26 }}</ref>

King Prithvi Singh visited Mindhala temple and made some donations along with an inscription on a copper plate to the temple. This plate is still in the possession of the temple and is dated [[Vikrama Samvat|Vikrama]] 1698, [[Shaka era|Śāstra]] 17 (AD 1641).<ref>{{cite book |last=Vogel |first=J.

The '''Umachal rock inscription''' is one of the earliest epigraphic sources discovered in [[Assam]]. Dated to the 5th century, the rock description was discovered in the north-eastern slopes of the Nilachal Hills (called Umachal), near [[Guwahati]] city.<ref>The rock inscription came into view when an old banyan tree was uprooted. {{harv|Sircar|1971|p=79}} The first report on the artifact was published by R. M. Nath {{harv|Sharma|1978|p=1}}</ref> The artifact is dated primarily on the basis of the identification of the named Surendravarman with [[Mahendravarman (Varman dynasty)|Mahendravarman]] (fl. c. 470–494) of the [[Varman dynasty]].<ref>"...in ancient India, kings were sometimes mentioned by the synonyms of their names, Surendravarman may tentatively be identified with Mahendravarman...Surendra and Mahendra both indicate Indra." {{harv|Sircar|1971|p=81}}</ref> The script is in the Nagari variety of the [[Gupta script]] and the language is [[Sanskrit]] prose.<ref>{{harv|Sharma|1978|p=3}}</ref> Though the Nilachal Hills is known for the [[Kamakhya Temple]], a ''shakta/tantra'' site, this temple was for [[Balabhadra]], a god of the Vaishnavite pantheon.<ref>"...It is, however, more likely that ''Bhagavata'' Balabhadrasvamin of the present inscription is no other than the Vaishnavite deity variously called Balabhadra, Baladeva, Balarama, Sankarsana etc." {{harv|Sircar|1971|p=81}}</ref>

Another inscription, the [[Nagajari-Khanikargaon rock inscription]], though undated, is sometimes claimed, on stylistic grounds, as the earliest.
