== Plot ==
{{long plot|date=May 2025}} 
The movie starts with a woman who has just come home after heavy rain. She later argues with her brother for being too irresponsible and lazy, due to which her brother commits suicide. She later feels bad for it.

Rakesh, a happy mechanic, runs a shop with his father Ramakrishna, also a mechanic. He also works as a part-time driving instructor. He meets Maya, a NIC employee who wants to learn to drive from Rakesh. Rakesh accepts, and both became friends. Maya wants to learn about Rakesh's past, so Rakesh tells her.

Rakesh's grandfather Nagireddeppa is a dangerous but funny faction leader who named his friend Reddappa's son. As Reddappa's enemies found this out, Nagireddeppa runs from them, but one of the henchmen cuts his left hand. Nagireddeppa later dies, and his grandson later becomes a carbon copy of him.

Rakesh then goes to college to pursue civil engineering, where he falls in love with Priya, the sister of his best friend Sekhar. Both Rakesh and Priya start a relationship, but she later cuts ties with him after his brother is falsely suspended for stealing the question paper, which Rakesh had done.

Priya later learns to drive, as her boss wants her to become her driver, but unexpectedly meets Rakesh. After a series of comic misadventures, Priya falls for Rakesh, who happily accepts. Rakesh also knows that his father has a dream of travelling from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, for which he gets a ticket from tours and travels. Ramakrishna was overjoyed that his son had fulfilled his dream, but unfortunately dies.

Ranki Reddy, a ruthless land grabber, decides to buy Rakesh's garage for a mall project. He sends Upma, his right-hand man, along with a few henchmen, to buy the garage, but Rakesh trashes them.

Maya, feeling bad for Rakesh, decides to help him by offering some money, and he accepts. As Rakesh is coming back to the garage, he finds out that Ranki Reddy is about to destroy the garage because Rakesh once made fun of him. Rakesh begs Rankireddy not to destroy it, to which Rankireddy tells Rakesh to get 2 crores immediately or face the consequences.

Maya immediately begins arranging money with the help of her manager Vivek. Kranthi, a suspended police officer, learns about the scams and arrests Vivek. Rakesh and Maya came to an abandoned place, where Vivek gets beaten up. Rakesh and Maya tell Kranthi not to get involved in this and leave Vivek alone, Maya even offers some money to Kranthi, who happily accepts. Kranthi later tells Rakesh to give him 40 lakhs. Maya gives Kranthi 10 lakhs, while Rakesh later goes to arrange 40 lakhs.

It is then revealed that Maya is Apsara, Vivek is Natraj, Kranthi is Chanti, and they are all scammers who exploit the poor and middle class by calling them and asking them for money. Rakesh later calls Priya and drops her off at the office. He then gives her the papers she forgot, but is shocked that she filed an FIR.

It is then shown that the man who committed suicide is none other than Sekhar, and the woman is Priya. Sekhar wanted to become a national cricketer and was shown to practice cricket every day. One day, he got a call from the bank people, who said they needed money to help him. Sekhar sold everything to them, unaware that they were scammers. Rakesh later realizes that they duped him, and out of shame, he commits suicide. Priya later regrets misunderstanding her brother. She then goes to every police station, but nobody helps her, as they do not know where these scammers are or what they look like.

Enraged, Rakesh decides to take matters into his own hands and find the scammers. He later realises that Apsara, Vivek, and Kranthi are the scammers. He decides to seek the help of Ranki Reddy, who is actually a good man, as Nagireddeppa named Redeppa's son Ranki Reddy, due to which Ranki Reddy is forever indebted to Rakesh's family. Ranki Reddy and Rakesh later stage an incident where Ranki Reddy threatens Rakesh to give him 2 crores or face the consequences.

It is then revealed that Ramakrishna was alive, and seeing the news of his death, he confronts Rakesh, who tells him all the truth.

Rakesh, with the help of Dhruvan, his police officer friend, and his team, nabs the scammers. In a one-to-one duel, Rakesh overpowers Chanti and trashes him publicly. The scammers are later jailed and are confused as to how Rakesh knew the plan. It is revealed that Rakesh knew the plan the day he met Apsara and took revenge on them smartly.

== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[The Hans India]]'' rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "''Mechanic Rocky'' explores the everyday struggles of the middle class while weaving in a gripping narrative about fraud and resilience. Raviteja Mullapudi succeeds in delivering a film that is both entertaining and thought-provoking."<ref>{{cite news |title='Mechanic Rocky' review: Engaging entertainer |url=https://www.thehansindia.com/movie-reviews/mechanic-rocky-review-engaging-entertainer-80500 |work=The Hans India |date=2024-11-22 |language=en}}</ref> Paul Nicodemus of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film three out of five stars and wrote that "''Mechanic Rocky'' strikes a fine balance between mass entertainment and meaningful storytelling. The inclusion of cybercrime as a subplot adds contemporary relevance, elevating the film beyond a standard action-drama. With strong performances, Ravi Teja Mullapudi crafts a film that, despite its flaws, resonates emotionally and delivers action-packed entertainment."<ref>{{cite news |title=Mechanic Rocky Movie Review : A rocky start with a thrilling finish |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/mechanic-rocky/movie-review/115617718.cms |work=The Times of India |date=2024-11-24 |access-date=30 November 2024 |archive-date=27 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241127233851/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/mechanic-rocky/movie-review/115617718.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>

T [[Maruthi]] Acharya of ''[[India Today]]'' gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "The central plot has promise, but it gets lost in trying to cram too many elements into one narrative, diluting the impact.

Aditya Devulapally of ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' wrote, "The film sets your expectations so low with its initial silliness that when the twist lands, it feels like a masterstroke. However, this reliance on twists is a double-edged sword. Without them, the film offers little beyond technical finesse and a few clever moments. It’s a trick that works best when you go in expecting very little."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Devulapally |first1=Aditya |title='Mechanic Rocky' movie review: A calculated cinematic gamble |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2024/Nov/23/mechanic-rocky-movie-review-a-calculated-cinematic-gamble |work=The New Indian Express |date=8 November 2024 |language=en}}</ref> Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote, "If ''Mechanic Rocky'' had done away with some of the stereotypical humour and song and dances and leveraged on its thriller portions, it could have been far more engrossing."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dundoo |first1=Sangeetha Devi |title=Mechanic Rocky movie review: Ravi Teja Mullapudi and Vishwak Sen save the best for the last |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/mechanic-rocky-movie-review-ravi-teja-mullapudi-and-vishwak-sen-save-the-best-for-the-last/article68897650.ece/ |work=The Hindu |date=22 November 2024 |language=en-IN}}</ref>

BVS Prakash of ''[[Deccan Chronicle]]'' gave it one-and-a-half out of five stars and noted that "Initially, the hero is pitted against a gangster who wants to usurp his garage and then he is pushed into an online scam and he flexes his muscles too".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Prakash |first1=B.

There are several '''Hindu temples in [[Multan]]''', a city in the [[Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab]] province of [[Pakistan]]. The temples, known as [[Mandir]]s, exist because the population of [[Multan]] followed [[Hinduism]],<ref name="PunjGov">[http://tdcp.punjab.gov.pk/TDCP/placesvisitsmul.htm Multan - Punjab.gov.pk] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060427132756/http://tdcp.punjab.gov.pk/TDCP/placesvisitsmul.htm |date=2006-04-27 }}</ref> [[Buddhism]] and tribal religions before the arrival of [[Islam]]. In 997 CE, [[Mahmud of Ghazni|Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi]], took over the [[Ghaznavids|Ghaznavid dynasty]] empire established by his father, [[Sabuktigin|Sultan Sebuktegin]], In 1005 he conquered the [[Hindu Shahi]]s in [[Kabul]] in 1005, and followed it by the conquests of [[Punjab region]]. The [[Delhi Sultanate]] and later [[Mughal Empire]] ruled the region. There were two places in Multan from that period of considerable antiquity.

==Sun Mandir==
The most important place of the Hindu period was the "[[Sun Temple of Multan|Sun Mandir]]". It was the most important place of worship throughout the [[South Asia]] as referred to in many books. It was situated on old Fort near [[Rukn-e-Alam|Shah Rukn-e-Alam]] shrine. The ruins of Sun Mandir are located near the High Court of Multan.<ref name="PunjGov"/>

==Suraj Kund==
Another place was "Suraj Kund" (the pool of sun). It is about five miles to the south of Multan on the [[Bahawalpur]] Road. It was a pond 132 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep when full of water. [[Sawn Mal]] the [[Sikh]] Diwan surrounded it with an octagonal wall. It was a place of pilgrimage till 1947 and two fairs were held here annually. One on the 7th of the Vanishing moon of [[Bhadon]], and the other on the 7th of the rising moon of [[Magh (Sikh calendar)|Magh]], the numbers having references to the seven hours of the Sun's Chariot, according to the Hindu belief of the seven [[Rishies]].<ref name="PunjGov"/>

==Prahladpuri Temple==
The temple of [[Narasimha]] built by [[Prahlada]], known as [[Prahladpuri Temple, Multan|Prahladpuri Temple]].<ref>[http://multan.reemakhan.info/monument/index/TEMPLE_OF_PRAHLADPURI.html Temple of Prahladpuri-Multan] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120704125605/http://multan.reemakhan.info/monument/index/TEMPLE_OF_PRAHLADPURI.html |date=4 July 2012 }} Survey & Studies for Conservation of Historical Monuments of Multan. Department of Archeology & Museums, Ministry of Culture, Government of Pakistan.</ref>

==Narsinghpuri Temple==
The temple of Narsinghpuri dedicated to [[Narasimha]] was originally inside the [[Multan Fort]]. Later, due to restrictions of timings for going inside the main area of fort, a temple of same name was built in main Sabz Mandi (Market) area of town.<ref>{{cite book| title = All India reporter, Volume 6| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=g2A2AAAAIAAJ| year = 1938| publisher = D.V.

== Plot ==

Seetharam, an upright and principled sub-inspector, is transferred from [[Haveri]] to the rural Aanegadde police station in [[Shivamogga district]]. Although the village appears calm, it has been experiencing a series of carefully executed burglaries and violent incidents that have unsettled the local community.

After assuming charge, Seetharam becomes personally involved when his residence is targeted during a burglary. The methodical nature of the crime leads him to suspect that the incidents are not isolated. As he begins investigating, Seetharam identifies patterns linking the recent offences to an unresolved case locally referred to as Case No. 18.

Through systematic inquiry, analysis of evidence, and interactions with villagers, Seetharam uncovers a network behind the crimes. His investigation is complicated by limited institutional support, local tensions, and the reluctance of residents to cooperate. As the criminal activities escalate, Seetharam narrows his focus on key suspects and pieces together the motives underlying the offences.

The investigation culminates in a confrontation that reveals the connections between the crimes and the earlier case. The resolution highlights Seetharam’s efforts to restore order while reflecting the broader social consequences of the events within the village.

'''Assamese manuscript painting''' in the [[Assam]] region developed through the movement of [[Ekasarana Dharma|Vaishnavism]]. Vaishnava saints were primarily responsible for the establishment of manuscript painting tradition in Assam. A large number of manuscript paintings were done and copied during the 16th to 19th centuries. Assam has a very long history of visual art from the pre-historic age up to the end of Ahom rule in 1826 A.D. Among the earliest reference of Assam painting, the account of Chinese traveller [[Xuanzang]] records that King [[Bhaskaravarman]] of Kamarupa who was a friend of King Harsa of Kanauj presented the king “Carved boxes of panels for painting with brushes and gourds."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Boruah |first=Porishmita |date=2009 |title=The Illustrated Manuscripts Of Assam: A Brief Study |journal= |volume=5 |pages=2885}}</ref>

The tradition of manuscript painting in Assam was developed in direct response to the Neo-Vaisnavism introduced by the great leader, social reformer, Vaisnava saint [[Sankardev]] (1449-1568 A.D.) Most of these manuscripts have been produced on [[sancipat]].[[File:Illustrated Manuscript of Dakhinpat Sattra( Bhagawat).jpg|thumb|Illustrated Manuscript of [[Dakhinpat Satra]]]] Manuscript leaves were made with locally available ingredients. The process of making sanchi pat was discussed by Sir [[E. A. Gait]]. Another material used for making manuscripts was ''tulapat'' or [[cotton paper]], but was not as popular as sanchipat. The painters involved in the creation of paintings were organised under a khel/guild during the medieval period. The officer in-charge of this khel was known as Khanikar Boruah. The khanikar beside painting also knew art of making idols both of wood and of earth, masks for drama, mural paintings, wood carvings and [[Xorai]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-12-27 |title=Manuscript paintings from Assam {{!}} |url=https://www.hinduscriptures.com/hindu-lifestyle/arts/painting/manuscript-paintings-assam/2022/ |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=Hindu Scriptures {{!}} Vedic lifestyle, Scriptures, Vedas, Upanishads, Itihaas, Smrutis, Sanskrit. |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Styles of Art ==
[[File:King Siva Singha and Queen Ambika riding in procession.jpg|left|thumb|Court procession. Garhgoan style of painting depicted in Dharma Puran of Kavichandra Dvijya and illustrated by Badha Ligira.]]
(Dasgupta, 1972) refers to 6 streams or styles of different schools of Assamese painting such as; Tai–Ahom School, Sattriya School, Darrang School and Garhgaon School (court style). But according to other scholars like e.g. Neog, Kalita and Saikia these styles come to three to four excluding or including the Tai-Ahom style. For them the styles are mainly three; Satriya, Court (Garhgaon, Provincial Mughal, Style akin to Garhgaon merged) and Darrang, if and when Tai-Ahom is excluded. (Saikia, 2016), according to him the painting styles of Assam could be divided into three branches or styles; Sattriya style, Rajghariya Style and Decoration only. The third style denotes the manuscripts with border decoration not illustrations. (Saikia, 2016) ignores Tai–Ahom style because of its <nowiki>''</nowiki>primitivity, lack of vigour, dominance and continuity. <nowiki>''</nowiki> (Kalita, 2014) also only refers to two styles of Assamese manuscript paintings: Sattriya style ([[Sattra]]/ Vaisanavite monastery based), and the Ahom Rajsabha (Ahom court based).

== Tai-Ahom style ==
The Ahoms when coming from Upper Burma to Upper Assam, bring with them their cultural heritage and skill. Phung Chin manuscript illustrated in Ahom language dated to 1473 A.D, it is considered among the earliest extant manuscript illustrations of Assam now preserved at, DHAS (Department of Historical and Antiquarian Studies, Guwahati). Suktanta Kympong is another illustrated
manuscript in Ahom script dated to around 1523 A.D. Both manuscripts were made on handmade paper (Tula-pat). In both manuscripts the depiction of the Buddha image is common. Some other Tai-Ahom manuscripts are: Phe-Ban (Omen & Divination), Kukura-Theng (Chicken bone Divination), Phura-long (Jataka Story), etc. These individual manuscripts contain some figurative line drawings and sketches which are may not truly be considered under the category of painting.<ref>{{cite book |title=Tradition of manuscript paintings in Assam, Bikramjit Sarkar (2021), Tripura University |pages=49}}</ref>

== Sattriya Style ==
[[File:Citra Bhagavata illustration 2.jpg|thumb|A page of manuscript painting from Assam. Sattriya style of Painting.]]
[[File:Sundarakanta Ramayan medieval-century manuscript painting from Assam.jpg|thumb|Court style painting later incorporated into Sattriya style]]
With the influence of [[Bhakti movement]] of [[Sankardev]] starting onwards from 16th century another style came into front as Satriya style.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Boruah |first=Porishmita |date=2019 |title=The Illustrated Manuscripts Of Assam: A Brief Study |journal= |volume=5 |pages=2886}}</ref> Sattriya style of painting has been developed and flourished in the [[Satras|Vaisnava monasteries]] in Assam. [[Satra (Ekasarana Dharma)|Satras]] or Vaishnavite monasteries of medieval Assam plays a vital role in the shaping of society, religion and culture in the state. The Paintings were done by the Vaishnava monks in the Satras. Though the art of painting was initially advent by the Sankardeva with his scroll painting for the drama Chinayatra, where he illustrated seven Vaikuntha in 1468 A.D. at Bordowa. The art of painting practiced in the satra's with a distinct style, known as the Sattriya style of painting by scholars. The colors used in this style of painting are called [[Hangool and haital|Hengul and haital]].The style introduces the local architectural design and clothing of the satra culture. ‘Chitra Bhagwata’ or ‘The Bhagawata Book x is the earliest example of illustrated manuscripts of Sattriya style from Bali Satra of Nogoan.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Boruah |first=Porushmita |title=The Illustrated Manuscripts Of Assam: A Brief Study |journal= |volume=5 |pages=887}}</ref> One of the earliest dated manuscript illustrations is Bhagavata-Purana, Book 6 dated 1678. It is a transcript of the book written by Sankaradeva.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Manuscript Painting of Assam: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives |url=https://www.sahapedia.org/manuscript-painting-of-assam-historical-and-contemporary-perspectives |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=Sahapedia |language=en}}</ref>
[[File:Interiro scene, Chitra Bhagavata, Narowa Bali Satra.png|thumb|A scene from Chitra Bhagavata, Narowa Bali Satra.]]
Other illustrated manuscripts of the Sattriya style includes: Bhakti Ratnavali 1605 Saka (1683 A.D), [[Bhagavata Purana]], Book X (Adi Dasama/Chitra Bhagavata), Bar Kirtan, Bhagavata-Purana, Book XI (1697 A.D). According to Kalita, “The best of the pictures in the repertory of Assamese painting belonging to the Sattriya idiom has been rendered in late 17th century A.D.” (Kalita, 2009) But we have other manuscripts of the style such as Vanamali Devar Charita of Ramakanta Dwija; Sri Bhagavata Matsya Charita of Nitananda Kayastha, A.D 1644–50; [[Gita Govinda]], translated by Kaviraj Chakravarti, A.D. 1644- 50; Lava Kushar Yudha of Harivar Vipra, A.D 1714 -1744; Ananda Lahari of Ananta Acharya Dwija, A.D 1714–44; Ramayana (Sundara Kanda) A.D. 1715; Sankara Charita; and Ramayana (Lanka Kanda) 1791–1806 A.D.<ref name="Raj Kumar Mazinder">{{cite web |author=Raj Kumar Mazinder |date=April 2020 |title=Manuscript painting Tradition in Assam: A Concise Overview |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340477659}}</ref>

== Court Style ==
[[File:Brihat Ushaharan, an medieval-century manuscript painting of Assam from Budhbari Satra.jpg|thumb|Brihat Ushaharan manuscript painting.]]
[[File:Sankachura Badh illustration.png|left|thumb|Sankachura Badh illustration]]
Court style, Rajghariya style or Garhgoan style (as being the capital of the Ahom kingdom later Rangpur) of painting was mainly developed by the court artists of the Ahom Kingdom.<ref>{{cite book |title=Tradition of manuscript paintings in Assam, Bikramjit Sarkar (2021), Tripura University. |pages=52}}</ref> Initially, they employed artists or khanikars (artisans) from sattras, later employed many artisans from various parts of India. This art style was started by [[Rudra Singha]] (A.D. 1696–1714), who ordered the illustration of Gita Govinda.
It was continued under the reign of his successor [[Siva Singha]] and his consorts [[Phuleshwari|Pramathesvari Devi]] and [[Ambika Devi]] under whom the finest of painting of Assam were produced. The royal court attracted more professional artisans from Sattra's and the court further strengthened by inviting to its fold the professional Mughal artists. The new and secular style of painting thus emerges in eastern Assam under the Ahoms with beautiful paintings in such works as the [[Hastividyarnava]], Sankhachuda- vadha, Gita govinda and Lavakusar Yuddha.<ref>{{cite book |title=Manuscript Paintings of Assam and Odisha A Comparative Study, Amritanand Nayak (2019), Assam University. |pages=114}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Gupta |first=Rajatananda Das |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DxHrAAAAMAAJ |title=Eastern Indian Manuscript Painting |date=1972 |publisher=D.

== Darrang Style ==
During the time of peace in the middle early part of 18th century Sattriya pictorial idiom moved for the first time to [[Darrang district|Darrang]] . But the artisans there were not as talented as their Majuli counterparts. Some of the illustrations of Darrang style are: Kaumudi, Anadi Patana (1782 A.D) and the Bhagavata – Purana Book VIII (1804 A.D). The most important example of the later Darrang manuscript miniatures is the Darrang Raj Vamsavali. This style comes to an end with the de-thronement of Krishnanaryana in 1805.<ref name=":0">{{cite book |title=Manuscript Paintings of Assam and Odisha A Comparative Study, Amritanand Nayak (2019), Assam University. |pages=}}</ref>

== Decline ==
The Manuscript painting culture declined after the [[Moamoria rebellion]] due to the devastation caused by it, followed by [[Burmese invasions of Assam]]. After the collapse of Ahom government and lack of patronization called for the ways of its decline.<ref name=":0" />

In 1994–95, Manohar. K is a lethargic man and a former [[Kho kho]] national champion, who lives with his teacher Guru. After much persuasion by Guru, he joins a school at a village named Bettadapura as a PT teacher and also falls in love with a village girl Sujatha alias Sooji. However, Rudrappa, a swindler pressurises the villagers to give up the land that belonged to his grandparents before the [[Union government]] implemented the land to be given to the villagers.

The court decides to ask the two parties to come to an agreement. However, Rudrappa, who is also a gambler, tells that he will withdraw the case if the school students can defeat his players in the yearly Kho-Kho event. Manohar gets into trouble as he and the students actually didn't win any game, but only bought trophies from the sports shop. Before Manohar and the students decide to leave the town, he learns about Guru's death and his desire to see him as a former champion again.

Manohar begins to train them in the sport and also makes them learn about teamwork. After facing many hurdles orchestrated by Rudrappa, Manohar and the students finally defeats Rudrappa's team. With Rudrappa defeated, Manohar and the students happily celebrate with the villagers.

==Geographical boundaries==

This dialect is prevalent in Central Bengal specifically in the West Bengal districts of [[Kolkata district|Kolkata]], [[Nadia district|Nadia]], [[Howrah district|Howrah]], [[Hooghly district|Hooghly]], [[Ghatal subdivision|Ghatal]] and [[Tamluk subdivision|Tamluk]] in [[Midnapore district|Midnapore]], [[Murshidabad district|Murshidabad]] and [[Purba Bardhaman district|Purba Bardhaman]]. It is also spoken natively in the [[Chuadanga District|Chuadanga]], [[Kushtia District|Kushtia]] and [[Meherpur District|Meherpur]] districts of [[Bangladesh]], which were a part of the Nadia district prior to the 1947 [[Partition of India]]. Along with [[Eastern Bengali]] dialects, Modern Standard Bengali has been formed on the basis of this dialect.

==Features==

===Phonology===
* Extensive use of ''Obhishruti'' (অভিশ্রুতি, /obʱisrut̪i/, [[Umlaut_(linguistics)|umlaut]]). E.g. Beng. Koriya (করিয়া, /koria/, meaning - having done) > Beng. Koira (কইর‍্যা, /koirya/) > Beng. Kore (করে, /kore/).<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IMvjAAAAMAAJ&q=rarhi+dialect |title=Folk-lore |date=1975 |publisher=Indian Publications |language=en |access-date=2019-08-16 |archive-date=2022-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220924163037/https://books.google.com/books?id=IMvjAAAAMAAJ&q=rarhi+dialect |url-status=live }}</ref>
* The change of অ to ও, when অ is the first sound of a word where the অ is followed by ই(ি), ও(ো), ক্ষ or য. E.g. Ati (written অতি, means 'excess') is pronounced as Oti (ওতি, /ot̪i/).
* Use of [[vowel harmony]]. E.g. Bilati (বিলাতি, /bilat̪i/, meaning - foreign) became Biliti (বিলিতি, /bilit̪i/).<ref name=":1">SK Chatterji, The Origin and Development of the Bengali Language, Calcutta University, Calcutta, 1926</ref>
* Most of the time, if the first sound of a word is 'n', it becomes 'l' and if it is 'l', it becomes 'n'. E.g. newa (নেওয়া, /nēwa/) became lewa (লেওয়া, /lēwa/) and lebu (লেবু, /lēbu/, meaning - lemon) became nebu (নেবু, /nēbu/).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Shaw |first1=Dr. Rameswar |title=সাধারণ ভাষাবিজ্ঞান ও বাংলা ভাষা |date=21 February 1984 |publisher=Pustak Bipani |page=625|location=[[Kolkata]] |isbn=81-85471-12-6 |url=https://archive.org/details/sadharon-bhasabiggyan-o-bangla-bhasa |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=bn}}</ref>
* The Aspirated 'chh' at the after of a word is pronounced like not aspirated 'ch'. E.g Giyechhi (গিয়েছি, /giyēchhi/, meaning - have gone) became gechi (গেচি, /gēchi/).

===Morphology===
* The common standard Bengali plural affix 'gulô' (গুলো) is pronounced 'gunô' (গুনো) in the dialect, whereas it becomes 'gulā' or 'gulān' in [[eastern Bengali]] dialects.
* The past first person affix (i)lām in standard dialect becomes (i)lum, or (i)nu. E.g the word in standard dialect 'kôr(i)lām' (কর'লাম) became kôr(i)lum (কর'লুম) or kôr(i)nu (কর'নু).
* The 'go' suffix which is added to the singular genetive to form the genetive plural is also found in Rarhi dialect speaking areas but it is commonly used in [[Eastern Bengali|Vanga dialect]]s. E.g āmā-gô (our), tômā-gô (your).<ref name=":1"|page=145/>

===Obhishruti and Opinihiti===

''Ôbhishruti'' (অভিশ্রুতি, /obʱisrut̪i/) and ''Ôpinihiti'' (অপিনিহিতি, /opinihit̪i/, [[epenthesis]]) are two phonological phenomena that occur in spoken [[Bengali dialects]]. Opinihiti refers to the phonological process in which a ''i'' or ''u'' is pronounced before it occurs in the word. Obhishruti is the sound change in which this shifted ''i'' or ''u'' becomes removed and changes the preceding vowel. Observe the example above : Koriya (করিয়া, /koria/) > Koirya (কইর‍্যা, /koira/) > Kore (করে, /kore/). First Opinihiti changes Koriya to Koirya (notice how the I changes position.), then Obhishruti changes Koirya (কইর‍্যা) to Kore (করে).<ref name=":0">Sunitikumar Chattopadhyay (1939) ভাষা-প্রকাশ বাঙ্গালা ব্যাকরণ, Calcutta University</ref>

The film received negative reviews from critics. This movie was [[Box-office bomb]].

== Plot ==
A man, Anand Sharma, is found dead in a hotel room.
Then the story changes to Purushothaman Nair, a graduate who has been unemployed for the past eight years, lives with his wife Devi, daughter Revathi, his father-in-law Pappu Pillai, and his sickly brother-in-law Kuttan in Pillai's house. In his free time, Nair enjoys reading detective novels. He gets a call back for a job in the Gulf. From then on, people's attitudes toward him change. He is well respected in his village and freely offers assistance to people who come to him for help, but he begins to become greedy.

In an effort to make more money he devises a plan to fake his death to get insurance money. Along with his father-in-law and Devi's uncle, Nair decides to put a dead body in his car and then burn it to make it appear as though he was burned along with the car. Because the trio cannot find a body, they decide to kill a man and use his body. Driving at night, they come across a man who asks for a ride to the hospital where his first child was being born. Devi's uncle strangles the man to death and the three of them place him in the driver's seat and proceed to burn the car. Everyone (except Devi, to whom Nair had told the whole plan) considers Nair dead, while Nair disappears. Forensic reports, however, soon reveal that the man killed in the car was not Nair but an unidentified person. Police arrest Kuttan, Pillai, and Devi's uncle for questioning, where Kuttan is thrashed. The other two surrender, saying that the man was killed by accident and, being afraid of the consequences, they had burned his body along with the car.

Seventeen years pass and it is revealed that Kuttan remains [[Bedridden|bed-ridden]] from the thrashing, Pillai refuses to see anyone in jail, Devi's uncle has died in jail, and Nair is still missing. One night, a man comes to Devi's window and calls out to her. When he sees that she is frightened, he reveals that he is Nair. He had undergone plastic surgery to escape from authorities and now lives under the alias Anand Sharma. Frightened and not believing him, Devi threatens to call the police, which makes him leave. He returns for a few nights, and Devi finally accepts that he is her husband. She refuses to join him in his new life, however, claiming that he destroyed her and her family's life and does not want to see him again. Nair returns the next night, tells her that he will not come into her life again, and leaves.

The first scene of the movie continues where the police find a [[suicide note]] under Sharma's bed in the hotel room in which he had written, "I have one request. Do not go in search of who I am. I, myself, do not know who I am." This leaves everyone puzzled.

The '''Dwarkadhish temple''', also known as the '''Jagat Mandir''' and occasionally spelled '''Dwarakadheesh''', is a [[Hindu temple]] dedicated to [[Krishna]], who is worshiped in the temple by the name ''Dwarkadhish (Dvārakādhīśa)'', or 'King of Dwarka'. The temple is located at [[Dwarka]] city of [[Gujarat, India]], which is one of the destinations of [[Char Dham]], a Hindu pilgrimage circuit. The main shrine of the five-storied building, supported by 72 pillars, is known as Jagat Mandir or Nija Mandir. Archaeological findings suggest the original temple was built in 200 BCE at the earliest.<ref>{{cite book|author=S. R.

==Legend==
[[File:Dwarakadheesh temple, Dwaraka.jpg|thumb|Stairs leading up to the main entrance of the temple|center]]

As per Hindu legend, Dwarka was built on a piece of land by Krishna that was reclaimed from the sea. According to the ''[[Mahabharata]]'', the sage [[Durvasa]] once visited Krishna and his wife [[Rukmini]]. The sage wished that the pair took him to their palace, demanding that they pull his chariot like horses. The pair agreed and started to carry the sage, even as the latter struck Rukmini when she fell.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Williams |first=George M. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N7LOZfwCDpEC&pg=PA125 |title=Handbook of Hindu Mythology |date=27 March 2008 |publisher=OUP USA |isbn=978-0-19-533261-2 |pages=125 |language=en}}</ref> After some distance, according to local tradition, Rukmini got tired and she requested some water from Krishna. Krishna dug a hole with his powers that brought in the river [[Ganga]] to the place. Durvasa was furious and cursed Rukmini to remain in the place. The temple where Rukmini's shrine is found, is believed to be the place where she stood.<ref name=legend>{{cite book|title=Temples of India Myths and Legends|publisher=Publications Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India|location=New Delhi|editor1-last=S.|editor1-first= Manjula|last=Bhoothalingam|first=Mathuram|year=2016|pages=87–91|isbn=978-81-230-1661-0}}</ref> In the epic, finding no fault with the divine couple, Durvasa blessed Krishna with invincibility everywhere except the soles of his feet, and declared that Rukmini would be the foremost of the deity's spouses and would be his eternal companion in the next world as well.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Vyasa |first=Dwaipayana |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=egw_EAAAQBAJ&dq=Durvasa+Rukmini&pg=PT7206 |title=The Mahabharata of Vyasa: (Complete 18 Volumes) |date=24 August 2021 |publisher=Enigma Edizioni |pages=7206–7207 |language=en}}</ref>

==History==

The town of [[Dwarka]] in [[Gujarat]] has a history that dates back centuries, and mentioned in the [[Mahabharata]] epic as the [[Dwaraka kingdom]]. Situated on the banks of river Gomti, the town is described in legend as the capital of [[Krishna]]. Evidence such as a stone block with script, the way the stones were dressed showing that dowels had been used, and an examination of anchors found on the site suggest that the harbour site dates only to historical times, with some of the underwater structure being late Medieval. [[Coastal erosion]] was probably the cause of the destruction of what was an ancient port.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Gaur|first=A.S.|author2=Sundaresh and Sila Tripati|title=An ancient harbour at Dwarka: Study based on the recent underwater explorations|journal=Current Science|date=2004|volume=86|issue=9}}</ref>

In the fifteenth century the Raja of Dwarka was a [[Vadhel]] named Bhim who also ruled the local [[Wagher|Vagher]] pirates. Once a [[maulana]] named Mahmud Samarqandi was undergoing a sea voyage when storm caused his vessel to go towards the coast of Dwarka. There the ship was attacked by Vagher pirates who plundered the ship, kidnapped his women, and left Mahmud and his sons adrift. Mahmud Samarqandi brought this matter to [[Mahmud Begada|Sultan Mahmud]] at his court in [[Junagadh|Mustafabad]]. Thus the sultan decide to capture Dwarka and in 1473 began marching towards the city. The Raja of Dwarka Bhim and his Rajputs fled the city to the island fortress of [[Bet Dwarka|Bet]], allowing Mahmud Begada to plunder Dwarka, destroy buildings and the Dwarkadhish temple and destroy its idol.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Commissariat |first=M.S. |title=A History of Gujarat: Including a Survey of its Chief Architectural Monuments and Inscriptions |publisher=Longmans, Green & Co.

After many hardships, the Mulla [Mahmud Samarqandi] arrived at Sultan Mahmud’s court at Mustafabad and related his sad story. This decided the Sultan to carry out his long cherished project though his troops had been exhausted by continuous campaigns for three or four years. On May 14, 1473 he marched for Dwarka, from which town Raja Bhim and his Rajputs fled to the fortified island of Bet for safety. The sacred city was given up to plunder, and, by the Sultan’s orders, its buildings were razed, its temples destroyed, and the idols broken to pieces}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Ansari |first1=Z.D. |title=Excavations at Dwarka: 1963 |last2=Mate |first2=M.S. |publisher=Deccan College Postgraduate & Research Institute |year=1966 |pages=23 |quote=About this time [1500], Abul Fath Khan, better known as Mahmud Beghra invaded the Okhāmaṇḍala area and despoiled the entire area including Dwarka itself.

{{Char Dham}}

Since this site is associated with the ancient city of [[Dvārakā]] and the [[Vedic era]] Krishna of [[Mahabharata]], it is an important place of [[pilgrimage]] for [[Hindu]]s. It is one of three main pilgrimage sites related to ''"Krishna"'' circuit, namely ''[[48 kos parikrama of Kurukshetra]]'' in [[Haryana]] state, [[Vraja Parikrama|Braj Parikarma]] in [[Mathura]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]] state and ''Dwarka Parikrama'' (Dwarkadish Yatra) at Dwarkadhish Temple in [[Gujarat]] state.

The middle (''madhya'') or belly part or navel (''nabhi'') of Shiva is worshipped here. The temple is believed to have been built by the [[Pandavas]], the central figures of the Hindu epic [[Mahabharata]].<ref name="temple">{{cite web|url= http://www.badrinath-kedarnath.gov.in/content-kedar.aspx?id=36|title=Panch Kedar: Madmaheshwar|year=2006|publisher=Shri Badrinath -Shri Kedarnath Temple Committee|access-date=2009-07-16}}</ref> It is accessible via a 16-18 kilometres treks, either from Aktolidhar or Ransi village near [[Ukhimath]] in the Rudraprayag district.

==Legend==
[[File:Madhyamaheswar.jpg|left|thumb|Early morning view of the temple in foggy weather]]
Several folk legends exist surrounding the Garhwal region, [[Shiva]] and the creation of the Panch Kedar temples.

One folklore relates to the [[Pandavas]], the heroes of the Hindu epic [[Mahabharata]]. The Pandavas defeated and slayed their cousins — the [[Kauravas]] in the epic [[Kurukshetra war]]. They wished to atone for the sins of committing [[fratricide]] (''[[gotra]] [[hatya]]'') and [[Brāhmanahatya]] (killing of [[Brahmin]]s — the priest class) during the war. Thus, they handed over the reins of their kingdom to their kin and left in search of [[Shiva]] and to seek his blessings. First, they went to the holy city of [[Varanasi]] (Kashi), believed to be Shiva's favourite city and known for its [[Kashi Vishwanath Temple]]. But Shiva wanted to avoid them as he was deeply incensed by the death and dishonesty at the Kurukshetra war and therefore, disregarded Pandavas' prayers. He assumed the form of a bull ([[Nandi (bull)|Nandi]]) and hid in the Garhwal region.

Not finding Shiva in Varanasi, the Pandavas went to [[Garhwal Division|Garhwal]] [[Himalayas]]. [[Bhima]], the second of the five Pandava brothers, then standing astride two mountains started to look for Shiva. He saw a bull grazing near [[Guptakashi]] (“hidden Kashi” — the name derived from the hiding act of Shiva). Bhima immediately recognized the deity and caught hold of the bull by its tail and hind legs. But the bull-formed Shiva disappeared into the ground to later reappear in parts, with the hump raising in [[Kedarnath Temple|Kedarnath]], the arms appearing in [[Tungnath]], the face showing up at [[Rudranath]], the nabhi (navel) and stomach surfacing in Madhyamaheshwar and the hair appearing in [[Kalpeshwar]]. The Pandavas pleased with this reappearance in five different forms, built temples at the five places for venerating and worshipping Shiva. The Pandavas were thus freed from their sins.<ref name=bisht/><ref name=travel>{{Cite web |url=http://traveluttarakhand.com/panchkedar.html#madhyamaheshwar#madhyamaheshwar |title=Panch Kedar Yatra |access-date=2009-07-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524085601/http://traveluttarakhand.com/panchkedar.html#madhyamaheshwar |archive-date=24 May 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=ecology>{{Cite book |author= Kapoor.

A variant of the tale credits Bhima of not only catching the bull, but also stopping it from disappearing. Consequently, the bull was torn asunder into five parts and appeared at five locations in the [[Kedar Khand]] of Garhwal region of the Himalayas.<ref name=travel/> After building the Panch Kedar Temples, the Pandavas meditated at Kedarnath for salvation, performed [[yagna]] (fire sacrifice) and then through the heavenly path called the Mahapanth (also called Swargarohini), attained heaven or salvation.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}}. The Panch Kedar Temples are constructed in the North-Indian Himalayan Temple architecture with the Kedarnath, Tungnath and Madhyamaheshwar temples looking similar.

After completing the pilgrimage of Shiva's [[Darśana|darshan]] at the Panch Kedar Temples, it is an unwritten religious rite to visit [[Lord Vishnu|Vishnu]] at the [[Badrinath Temple]], as a final affirmatory proof by the devotee that he has sought blessings of Shiva.<ref name=jyoti>{{Cite web |url=http://www.jyotirlinga.com/panchakedar.htm |title=Panch Kedar |access-date=2009-07-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831110615/http://www.jyotirlinga.com/panchakedar.htm |archive-date=31 August 2009 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

==The temple==

The temple in the North-Indian Himalayan style of architecture, is situated in a lush meadow, just below a high ridge. The older, so-called 'Vriddh-Madmaheshwar', temple is a tiny blackened shrine on the ridge, which looks straight up at the Chaukhamba Mountain peaks.
In the current temple, a navel-shaped Shiva-[[lingam]], made of black stone, is enshrined in the sanctum.<ref name="temple"/> There are two other smaller shrines, one for Shiva's consort [[Parvati]] and the other dedicated to [[Ardhanarishwara]], a half-Shiva half-Parvati image. [[Bhima]], the second Pandava brother is believed to have built this temple and worshipped Shiva here. To the right of the main temple there is a small temple where the image of [[Saraswati]], the Hindu goddess of learning, made of marble is installed in the sanctum.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1DtuAAAAMAAJ&q=Madhyamaheshwar+temple+structure|title=101 Pilgrimages|access-date=2009-07-24 | isbn=978-81-89449-03-2 | year=2006 | publisher=Outlook India Pub.}}</ref>

==Worship==
[[File:Ukhimath Temple, near Kedarnath, Uttarakhand.jpg|thumb|right|The Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar idols are worshipped at the Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath (pictured) during the winter months]]
The water from the temple precincts is considered so highly sacred that even a few drops are stated to be adequate for ablution. The worship at this temple starts with a specified time period from the beginning of the summer months after the winter and lasts until October/November from start of the winter season when the temple precincts are not accessible due to snow conditions.

During the winter period, the symbolic idol of the god is shifted with religious formalities to Ukhimath for continued worship. Priests at this temple, as in many other temples in the state, are from [[South India]] and at this particular temple they are called [[Jangama]]s of the [[Veerashaiva]] cast who hail from [[Mysore]] in [[Karnataka]] state. This induction of priests from outside the state enhances the cultural communications from one part of the country to the other, with language becoming no barrier. It is one of the important sacred pilgrimage centres of shastrik (textual) importance under the Panchasthali (five places) doctrine. This doctrine has been determined on the basis of sectarian association, fairs and festivals, offerings to the deity, sacred declarations made by devotees and specific blessings sought from the god through prayers at different temples. 2 km. away is a small temple called Bura Madhyamaheswar. One has to trek 2 kilometers up the steep ways through large moors and valleys and then would reach in a small lake, where a full Panoramic range of Himalayas consisting of the peaks, Chaukhamba, Kedarnath, Neelkanth, Trishul, Kamet, Panchulli, etc.<ref>{{cite book|last=Jha|first=Makhan|title=India and Nepal |year=1998 |publisher=M.D. Publications Pvt.

==Access==
[[File:Ransi temple, Garhwal, Uttarakhand.jpg|thumb|right|The Ransi Temple on the way to Madhyamaheshwar]]
The best time to visit the temple is from April to September. It is advised to visit before the month of October to avoid harsh weather conditions. Total trek length to cover all the five temples of Panch Kedar is about {{convert|170|km|mi|abbr=on|1}} (including road travel up to Gaurikund), involving 16 days of effort. The trek starts from [[Gauri Kund]], from which there are views of the Himalayan range of hills and the broader Garhwal region, comparable to the [[Alps]].

The trekking is undertaken during two seasons; three months during summer and two months after the monsoon season, as during the rest of the period, except Kalpeshwar, the other four Panch Kedar temples are inaccessible due to snow cover

Madyamaheswar temple is located in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. The temple is not directly connected by road. The last motrable place on the route of Madyamaheswar is Ransi village. After Kund ( near [[Ukhimath]]), the [[Kedarnath Temple|Kedarnath]] route divides into two parts: one goes to [[Gauri Kund|Gaurikund]] and another goes to Madyamaheswar. The Madyamaheswar route goes to Ukhimath, and after Ukhimath, one road goes to [[Tungnath]] and another goes to Madyamaheswar. Rishikesh is the entry point to the pilgrim centres of Garhwal Himalayas and is connected by train to the rest of the country. The nearest airport is Jolly Grant at a distance of {{convert|18|km|mi|abbr=on|1}} from Rishikesh, closer to [[Dehradun]], which connects to other destinations in India. The temple is at a distance of {{convert|244|km|mi|abbr=on|1}} from the airport and {{convert|227|km|mi|abbr=on|1}} from Rishikesh, the rail head. From Rishikesh to Kalimath the road distance is {{convert|196|km|mi|abbr=on|1}}. Alternatively, Madhmaheshwar shrine could be reached from Mansoona, Buruwa and Uniyana, via Ukhimath. From Ukhimath, the route passes through Mansoona(7 km), Buruwa(4 km), Ransi (3 km) then Goundar (9 km), Bantoli (2 km) and further 10 km steep climb via Khatra Khal, Maikhumbachatti and kunchatti reach the temple <ref name="temple"/>

The base of the trek is Aktolidhar/Ransi which is 22-24 kilometres away from Ukhimath. From there the trekking way starts. After 6 kilometres is Goundar village a small chatti, with a place to stay where there are 3 lodges to stay. After 2 km lies Bantoli, the point of confluence of Saraswati Ganga and Morkhanda Ganga then it's called Madhyamaheshwar ganga Or Madhu ganga. Then comes Khatara, Nanu, Maikhambachatti, Kunchatti and then comes Madhyamaheswar. The proper trekking distance is 16-18 kilometres from Aktolidhar/Ransi.

Gaundhar and Kalimath are two important places on the route to Madhyamaheshwar. (However route for kalimath get changed before Ukhimath it's on Kedarnath route.) Kalimath ({{convert|1463|m|ft|abbr=on|1}}) in particular, is of importance for the large number of pilgrims who visit the place for spiritual comfort and hence it is called the ''Sidh Peeth'' (Spiritual center). Kalimath is famous for the temples to goddesses [[Mahakali]] and [[Mahalakshmi]], and Shiva and one of his ferocious forms - [[Bhairava]].<ref name=Sharma/> The [[Navaratri]] time is of special significance at this place when much large devotees visit the place.

==Rules==
===League format===
Each team plays each other twice during the round-robin stage, and the top four teams enter the playoffs, which consist of two semi-finals (1st vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd) and a final.

===Gameplay===
Two players in the same weight category compete to overpower each other and score points over several rounds of a bout. In an "under card/prelim" bout, three rounds are contested, while in a "main card" bout, five rounds are contested. Three under card and three main card bouts take place within a single match, each featuring a different pair of opponents; the team whose players scored more points wins the match. In an under card bout, the player who wins two out of three rounds earns one point, while the loser gains nothing; in a main card bout, players earns one point for every round they win.<ref name=":3" /> In the final, five main card bouts are contested.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=Pro Panja League 2023 - Apps on Google Play |url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=forcepower.golf.PPL&hl=en_US |access-date=2023-07-29 |website=play.google.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

At the start of each round, the players offer one of their hands while keeping elbows on a specially designed table, with a strap being bound around offered hands to avoid slippage. The players attempt to force their opponent's hand to hit designated touch pads on the table underneath their hands to win the round.

'''Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology''', formerly known as the '''University College of Engineering, Burla''', is a state university located in [[Burla, India|Burla]], [[Sambalpur]], Odisha, India. Established in 1956, it is the oldest engineering college in Odisha. UCE Burla, its former name, was officially changed to its current name on 10 June 2009, as a result of a resolution by the [[Government of Odisha]] to accord it with the status of a unitary university.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.orissalinks.com/archives/1937 | title=UCE becomes Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology | date=18 December 2008 | access-date=22 December 2008 | work=OdishaLinks}}</ref>

== History ==
Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology was initially founded as University College of Engineering(UCE), Burla, under the direction of the Government of [[Odisha]], as the first engineering college of the state, in 1956.

The University later passed on to the administrative control of the [[Sambalpur University]], and then under the control of the [[Biju Patnaik University of Technology]]. In 2008, the students of UCE actively campaigned for due recognition as an independent university, culminating in the university being founded in 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.vssut.ac.in/history.php|title=History :: Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology|website=www.vssut.ac.in|access-date=2019-09-20}}</ref>

==Summary==
The show started with 23 contestants after the mega-blind audition round. There will be several rounds of performances to shortlist the top contestants for the finale. On each round of the show, four judges and jury members from various musical backgrounds weigh in with their points to judge every performance. The four judges rate the performances on a scale of 10 and the jury members on a scale of 5. The performance is recognized as golden if all the judges decide to rate a contestant's effort with 10 points. For a golden performance, the judges sing "Kannamaniye <name> Kalakipotta Nee / Sokkavaikkum Paatai Paadi Asathipotta Nee / Aatam Poordu (double clap) / Vetta Poordu (double clap) / Aatam Poordu Vetta Poordu Santhoshame Sa Re Ga Ma Pa / Ithu Golden Performance" and the contestant would receive a golden shower on the stage. For the first time, contestants Akshaya and Sharath were given a diamond performance during the "Kaadhale Kaadhali" (love songs) round for their rendition of "Vaaji Vaaji" song from the film [[Sivaji: The Boss]].

If a contestant does not achieve 10/10, the total points are computed by accumulating the scores from the jury members and the judges. Each juror's score must be a whole number, and the judges' score can be in increments of 0.5. Srinivas' score would be a "secret" score, meaning that this score would not be revealed (unless the performance was a golden performance). It would still be counted when adding up the total score. At the end of every week, awards would be given to several performances, such as the week's best performance. Moreover, participants who received the lowest scores will move into the danger zone and, depending on their marks, will either be saved or eliminated. The first set of elimination led to three participants leaving the competition. From round 12, it was announced that there would be no elimination and there would only be selection to the top five finalists.

==Auditions ==
The channel started taking auditions for this season through online audition registration.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.readermaster.com/zee-tv-tamil-saregamapa-audition-registration/|title=ZEE Tamil saregamapa Audition 2023 Registration Form!|date=10 February 2023 |publisher=www.readermaster.com|access-date=|language=en}}</ref> Then the offline auditions started on 18 September 2022 and placed in [[Tamil Nadu]], [[Telangana]], [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[Kerala]] and [[Karnataka]] as well as from international waters ( such as [[United Kingdom]] and [[Sri Lanka]]).

Its headquarter is [[Geyzing]], also known as [[Gyalshing]]. The district is a favourite among trekkers due to the high elevations. Other important towns include [[Pelling]] and [[Yuksom]]. Local people also call it as ''Pallo-Sikkim'' and ''Sano-Sikkim'' commonly.

==History==
Gyalshing district is the site of the ancient state capital [[Yuksom]]. It served as Sikkim's capital beginning in 1642 for almost 50 years until it was shifted to [[Rabdentse]]. The district was under the occupation of the [[Nepal]]ese for 30 years in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. After [[Anglo-Nepalese War]] (1814–16), the district was returned to Sikkim.

==Geography==
Gyalshing district covers an area of {{convert|1166|km2}}. Attractions include the [[Khecheopalri Lake]], where, according to legend, not a leaf is allowed to fall on the surface of the lake and the [[Dubdi Monastery]], the first monastery of the state.

==Assembly constituencies==
The district was previously divided into 5 [[assembly constituency|assembly constituencies]].
*[[Yoksam–Tashiding (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Yoksam-Tashiding]] (BL)
*[[Yangthang (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Yangthang]]
*[[Maneybong Dentam (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Maneybung-Dentam]]
*[[Gyalshing-Barnyak (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Gyalshing-Barnyak]]
*[[Rinchenpong (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Rinchenpong]] (BL)

===National protected area===
*[[Khangchendzonga National Park]] (Part)

==Economy==
The economy is mainly agrarian, despite most of the land being unfit for cultivation owing to the precipitous and rocky slopes.

==Transport==
Roads are in poor condition owing to the frequent landslides.

Indian White Paper on Jammu and Kashmir

2025-09-15T08:11:18Z

Prince Man: improve details for consistency

{{Use dmy dates|date=February 2021}}

The [[Indian Government]] published a [[White Paper]] on [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] in 1948 in an effort to explain the Indian position on the [[Kashmir dispute]]. It allegedly contains numerous references to the issue of holding free and impartial [[plebiscite]] in [[Kashmir]] under the auspices of the United Nations.

Shatsthala

2025-08-28T03:00:45Z

Prince Man: small adjusted intro after review further and improved wording

{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2019}}
{{More citations needed|date=November 2014}}
'''Shatsthala''' ({{lang|kn|ಷಟ್ ಸ್ಥಲ}}) or six phases/states/paths is pivotal to the [[Lingayat]] [[philosophy]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Veerashaivism Mysticism|url=http://www.virashaiva.com/shat-sthala-veerashaivism-mysticism/|website=Shat-Sthala|publisher=www.virashaiva.com|accessdate=2 December 2016}}</ref> ''Shatsthala'' is a conflation of ''Shat'' and ''Sthala'' which means 'six phases/states/levels' through which a person (a bhakta/seeker) advances in one's ultimate quest of realisation of the Supreme, or, simply put, enlightenment. (The word enlightenment used here refers to the Indian notion of enlightenment.<ref>{{cite web|author1-link=S. N. Balagangadhara |last1=Balagangadhara, S.N.|title=On the Indian Notion of Enlightenment: reflections based on experience|url=https://www.academia.edu/7866603|accessdate=25 November 2014}}</ref>) The Shatsthala comprises the ''Bhakta Sthala'', ''Maheshwara Sthala'', ''Prasadi Sthala'', ''Pranalingi Sthala'', ''Sharana Sthala'' and the ''Aikya Sthala''. The ''Aikya Sthala'' is the culmination where the soul leaves the physical body and merges with the Supreme.

==Brief Description of the Sthalas==
A brief description of the six sthala-s, according to the [[Lingayatism|Lingayat]] tradition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shatasthala|url=http://lingayatreligion.com/LingayatBasics/Shatasthala.htm|website=Lingyat Religion|accessdate=25 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Philosophy of Basava Dharma|url=http://www.sridanammadevi.com/basava-phil.htm|website=Sri Danamma Devi|accessdate=25 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Rao|first1=P.C. Babu; editor, Digumarti Bhaskara|title=Flowers of wisdom|date=2003|publisher=Discovery Pub. House|location=New Delhi|isbn=8171416950|page=132|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QFTRFnQ55qoC&dq=sthalas++bhakta&pg=PP1|accessdate=2 December 2016}}</ref>

# Bhakta: Bhaktasthala involves the worship of Guru, Linga and Jangama . When one understands the true meaning of this Sthala, one conceives the true meaning of the trinity of Guru, Linga and Jangama . Through this Sthala one becomes free from the desires of the body and mind and becomes a Bhakta by virtue of his/her belief in Shiva.
# Mahesha: Maheshasthala involves the actual practice of the above concept, which enables to lose the desire for material wealth, not coveting and not longing for unrighteous sensual pleasures.
# Prasadisthala: Prasaadisthala states that all things in this world are gifts of Shiva and whatever human receives as God’s gifts must be returned to him through the intermediacy of the [[Jangam]]a, who represents Shiva.
# Pranalingi: Pranalingisthala makes one aware of the inner being. Here the seeker comes to believe that the Linga is the Jangama and all actions are transformed into prayers.
# Sharanasthala: Sharanasthala endows an individual with the feeling and knowledge of God’s presence in his/her own soul and begins a direct dialogue with Shiva.
# Aikya: Aikyasthala forms the final stage. A stage of the culmination of the sublime achievement. It is the unitary consciousness of Self and Shiva.<ref name="shivayoga">[http://www.shivayoga.net/psychological-aspects-of-shiva-yoga_/ shivayoga.net, ''Psychological Aspects of Shiva-yoga'']</ref>

While the origins of the ''Shatsthala'' may be traced to the ''[[Āgama (Hinduism)|Agamas]]'', particularly the ''Parameshwaratantra'', with the evolution of [[Lingayatism]] the evolution of concept of Shatsthala was also unavoidable. While Basava understood Shatsthala as a process with various stages to be attained in succession, the credit of refuting this and redefining ''Shatsthala'' goes to [[Channabasavanna]], Basava's nephew. Channabasavanna differed radically from his uncle and held that a soul can reach its salvation in any stage.

Most of his poetry works were focused on Christian themes while his prose works focused on themes such as morality and household management. The work ''Kunchan Nambiarude Kaalam'' is a study on the works of [[Kunchan Nambiar]] and is regarded as one of the earliest well-researched scholarly works in Malayalam literature.

It was first devised probably at some time in the early twentieth century, although its earliest use has not yet (2024) been identified. The classification is not known to Sanskrit authors. It is part of the modern creation of a formal canon for ayurvedic literature.

There are older, authoritative medical encyclopaedias that are not included in the Bṛhat-Trayī, for example the ''[[Bhela Samhita|Bheḷa-saṃhitā]]''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Meulenbeld |first=Gerrit Jan |url= |title=A history of Indian medical literature. |publisher=Forsten |year=1999–2002 |isbn=9069801248 |volume=IIA |location=Groningen |pages=13–24 |oclc=1046031476}}</ref>

==Overview==
The following three works constitute the Bṛhat-Trayī:
* [[Charaka Samhita]] (चरकसंहिता) was composed by [[Agnivesha]] (अग्निवेश) and later edited by [[Charaka]] (चरक).
* [[Sushruta Samhita]] (सुश्रुतसंहिता) was composed by [[Sushruta]] (सुश्रुत).
* [[Ashtanga Hridayam|Ashtanga Hridayam Samhita]] (अष्टाग्ङहृदयसंहिता) was composed by [[Vagbhata]] (वाग्भट) (fl. ca. AD 610, in Sindh). A work called [[Ashtāṅgasaṅgraha|Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha]] (अष्टाग्ङसंग्रह) is also ascribed to the last author, [[Vagbhata|Vāgbhaṭa]] वाग्भट. It is a more diffuse work than the Aṣṭāṅga-hṛdaya-saṃhitā, and is in mixed prose and verse (the Ashtanga Hridayam is in verse only). These two works are versions of the same material, but their exact relationship, authorship and priority is still debated by scholars. There are thousands of medieval manuscripts of the Ashtanga Hridayam in archives and libraries across India, while the Aṣṭāṅga Saṃgraha is rare, having survived to the 20th century in only a few partial copies. It is thus clear that the Ashtanga Hridayam is the text that was most widely studied in pre-modern times, and was in fact the standard textbook of [[ayurveda]] for several hundred years. In spite of this, probably through a misunderstanding some time in the early 20th century, it is the Aṣṭāṅga-saṃgraha that is primarily taught as part of the modern ayurvedic BAMS syllabus at Government ayurvedic colleges.<ref>{{Cite web|title=First Year Syllabus – Central Council of Indian Medicine|url=https://www.ccimindia.org/first_year_syllabus.php|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150818022937/http://www.ccimindia.org:80/first_year_syllabus.php |archive-date=2015-08-18 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=DIRECTORATE OF AYUSH|url=http://web.delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_ayush/AYUSH/Home/AYUSH+Systems+of+Medicine/Ayurveda/|access-date=2021-06-03|website=web.delhi.gov.in}}</ref>

The ''Bṛhat-Trayī'' or "Triad of the Great" is also sometimes called the ''Vṛddha-Trayī'', which means "the triad of the old/mature (classics or authors)".

All three works have been published in numerous Sanskrit editions, and all have been translated into English more than once. The English translations of P. V. Sharma and of Srikantha Murthy are considered among the better ones. The German translation of the Ashtanga Hridayam by Hilgenberg and [[Kirfel]] is widely considered the very best and scholarly translation available.
