==Sequence==
Baldev Mehra (Vishwa Mohan Badola) is an elderly [[Hindu]] man in [[Delhi]], [[India]], and Yusuf ([[M. S. Sathyu|Mysore Shrinivas Sathyu]]) is an elderly [[Muslim]] man in [[Lahore]], [[Pakistan]]. One day Baldev shows his granddaughter Suman ([[Auritra Ghosh]]) an old, dated photograph of two children. He tells her that it is himself and his best friend Yusuf when they lived in Lahore prior to the [[Partition of India]] in 1947. In front of his house there was a park with a gate made in the stone age and each evening he and Yusuf would fly kites there and "steal" [[Jhajariya]]s from Yusuf's [[South Asian sweets|family sweet shop]]. When Partition came, however, [[Partition of India#Independence.2C population transfer.2C and violence|Baldev and his family had to leave for India overnight]]. Many decades later, Baldev still thinks of Yusuf and misses him.

Using details of her grandfather's story, Suman is able to locate Yusuf's sweet shop in Lahore via her laptop and Google. She connects with his grandson Ali (Syed Shabahat Ali) who helps her to plan a surprise visit from Yusuf on Baldev's birthday.

This is the first of a sequence of five ads showing the two old friends reconnecting.<ref name="zaman">{{Cite web |title=This Google ad has moved people to tears across India and Pakistan |url=https://theworld.org/stories/2013-11-16/google-ad-has-moved-people-tears-across-indian-and-pakistan |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=The World from PRX |language=en}}</ref> The idea and storyline may have been inspired by the 2012 short film, ''Respect'', by Taha Kirmani.<ref>Pak Sar Zameen Productions, ''Respect.''

Kapilendra reduced the taxation and warned the nobles not to oppress the people. He was a devoted worshipper of [[Jagannath]] but the Siva temples did not miss his benefactions. Kapilendra was a patron of arts and letters and the renaissance in [[Odia literature]] may be traced from his reign. He imparted fresh vigour and life to a declining kingdom and left it to his son Purushottama, in a prosperous condition.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mukherjee |first=Prabhat |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1o8BAAAAMAAJ |title=The History of the Gajapati Kings of Orissa and Their Successors |date=1953 |publisher=General Trading Company |language=en}}</ref> After his death his youngest son [[Purushottama Deva]] became the successor by the wish of his father which led to a civil war with his elder brother [[Hamvira Deva]].<ref name=":4"/>

==Early life==
There are multiple popular theories about the origin of Kapilendra Deva's family and his initial life. Records from the ''[[Madala Panji]]'' of the [[Jagannath Temple]] in [[Puri]] state that he was known as Kapila Rauta and belonged to the Surya Vamsa line. He used to graze cattle along with a Brahmin named Kasia. Due to a divine symbol of cobra (naga) seated by his head covering him from the sunlight while he was resting, Kasia predicted that Kapila would become a king one day. Later Kapila went to Puri where he used to beg near the [[Vimala Temple]] of the Puri [[Jagannath Temple, Puri|Jagannath temple]] complex and was later adopted by the last [[Eastern Ganga dynasty]] ruler Bhanudeva following a divine dream. He was later appointed in his younger days as a military general of the Ganga forces and was assigned the task to fight the Muslim forces of Bengal. Another version of the Madala Panji maintains the same account with regards to the origin of Kapilendra Deva but changes his name to Kapila Samantara who was at the service of the Ganga king Bhanudeva IV and stayed inside the palace. When the kingdom of Bhanudeva was threatened by an invasion, Kapila Samantara gave a good account of himself as a brave soldier and after the death of Bhanudeva, Kapila became the ruler of Odisha assuming the name Kapilendra Deva.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/jspui/bitstream/10603/227677/9/09_chapter%203.pdf|title=Kapilendra Deva and his times|website=www.shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in|last=Bhuyan|first=Annapurna|publisher=Utkal University|year=1999|access-date=30 June 2021}}</ref>

===Inscriptions===
[[File:Kapilendra Deva.jpg|thumb|A detached sculpture of Gajapati Kapilndra Deva found at Gadagadeswar Temple of Cuttack city.]]
Raghudevapuram copper plate grant of Raghudeva Narendra who was the governor of [[Rajamahendravaram]] Rajya and also a nephew of Kapilendra Deva gives valuable details about the family's history. Their lineage can be traced back to Kapilendra Deva's grandfather Kapileswara who was holding the position of a Nayaka. Kapileswara Nayaka was thus in the military service of the Gangas and occupied the position of a lieutenant in the army. He had a son named Jageswara who was also in the service and possessed a great number of elephants. Jageswara was married to Belama and they had three sons named Balarama, Kapilendra and Parashurama Harichandana. Raghudeva Narendra was the son of Parashurama.{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|pp=30-31}}<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/jspui/bitstream/10603/227677/9/09_chapter%203.pdf|title=Kapilendra Deva and his times|website=www.shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in|last=Bhuyan|first=Annapurna|publisher=Utkal University|year=1999|page=31|access-date=30 June 2021}}</ref>

== Suppressing internal rebellions==
[[File:Lingaraj Temple Inscription of Kapilendra Deva 1.png|alt=Lingaraj Temple Inscription of Kapilendra Deva issuing warning to the vassal kings for complete loyalty to him or else lose their property and be banished from the kingdom|thumb|250x250px|Lingaraj Temple Inscription of Kapilendra Deva issuing warning to the vassal kings for complete loyalty to him or else lose their property and be banished from the kingdom]]
Due to the weakening administration of the [[Eastern Ganga dynasty]], Kapilendra Deva ascended the throne with internal support while the last ruler of the dynasty, Bhanu Deva IV was on a military expedition in the southern territories. He was declared as the new Monarch with a ''[[Rajyabhisheka]]'' ceremony at [[Bhubaneswar]]. Since the ascension was through a coup or rebellion, some vassal kings from Odisha such as Matsarvamshi of Oddadi, Shilavamshis of Nandapur, and Bishnukundina of Panchadhara refused to acknowledge his authority and declared themselves independent. Around the same time, the [[Sultanate of Jaunpur]] also posed an external threat to his realm. He appointed his able minister Gopinath Mahapatra to deal with the Jaunpur threat, which he successfully executed, and Kapilendra Deva himself suppressed the internal rebels with force. The rebels were suppressed by the year 1440 CE. The rebellious troubles that he dealt with by force are proven by his [[Lingaraja Temple|Lingaraj Temple]] declaration in which he ordered the rebels to accept his rule or be toppled from power.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/118610/9/09_chapter%202.pdf|title=Society and culture as depicted in literature of the Gajapati period, Chapter II - Political history|website=www.shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in|pages=15–16|access-date=12 August 2017}}</ref>

=== Coronation ===
The chronicle [[Madala Panji]] detailed the event of Kapilendra Deva's coronation as [[Gajapati (title)|Gajapati]] of the realm succeeding Bhanu Deva IV, the last ruler of the [[Eastern Ganga dynasty|Eastern Ganga]]s. It mentioned that the coronation took place at Bhubaneswar on '''2 kākara śukḷa 4 aṅka 2'''. The date with respect to the [[Odia calendar]] corresponds to the Gregorian calendar on 29 June 1435. Thus with the coronation of Kapilendra Deva as the Gajapati of the Odradesa realm, he started his era known as ''Kapilabda'' and laid the foundation of the Suryavamsa dynasty.{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=34}}

=== Kapilendra Deva's Odia military ===
[[File:Kapilendra Deva 1.png|alt=Kapilendra Deva Routray depicted holding a sword and seated in a dominating Lakulisha position at Kapileswar Temple in Old Bhubaneswar|thumb|250x250px|Kapilendra Deva with a sword at Kapileswar Temple in Old Bhubaneswar]]
Different historical sources give varied accounts about the Odishan military commanded by the Gajapatis. According to the Muslim text Buhan-m-Mansir, Kapilendra had an elephant force numbering two hundred thousand (2,00,000). This number of war elephants is usually a very huge number compared even to any military of the existing kingdoms during the times of Kapilendra Deva himself in India. Nizzamuddin writes that the Gajapati encamped on the Godavari river banks with an infantry of seven hundred thousand (700,000). Another Muslim source documents that Kapilendra Deva raided Bidar with only 10,000 foot soldiers while being assisted by the Vellamati chiefs of Telangana.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/191019/10/10_chapter%205.pdf|title=MILITARY SYSTEM UNDER THE SURYAVAMSI GAJAPATIS|website=www.shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in|access-date=10 October 2018}}</ref>

== Conquests ==
The military hegemony of Odisha had declined during the last line of Eastern Ganga dynasty rulers which provided enough opportunity for the rising powers in its neighborhood. When Kapilendra Deva took over the throne, hostile Muslim powers like the Sultan of [[Jaunpur Sultanate|Jaunpur]] [[Mahmud Shah (Sultan of Bengal)|(Mahmud Shah]]), [[Bahmani Sultanate]] and the young ruler of Bengal [[Shamsuddin Ahmad Shah|Samsuddin Ahmad Shah]] were continuously preparing to invade Odisha. [[Rivalry|Rival]] [[Hindus|Hindu]] powers such as [[Deva Raya II]] of [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagara]] along with [[Reddy dynasty|Reddys]] of [[Rajahmundry|Rajmahendri]] had [[conquered]] advancing as far as the [[Simhachalam Hill Range|Simhanchalam]] territory in the south. Along with suppressing internal rebellions, Kapilendra Deva first defeated the Jaunpur forces and then contained the [[Bengal]] forces with the help of his minister Gopinath Mahapatra after which only he initiated his aggressive military campaigns of the Southern and Deccan parts of India.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=History of Odisha|publisher=Kalyani Publishers|year=2004|isbn=81-272-1367-5|location=New Delhi|pages=86–94}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Odia Jatira Itihaasa O Sanskruti, Part – 1|publisher=Vidyapuri|year=2012|isbn=978-81-7411-656-7|location=Cuttack|pages=177–181}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/127087/8/08_chapter%203.pdf|title=RELATIONS WITH THE GAJAPATHIS|website=www.shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in|access-date=12 August 2017}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/118610/9/09_chapter%202.pdf|title=Society and culture as depicted in literature of the Gajapati period, Chapter II - Political History|website=www.shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in|pages=15–21|access-date=12 August 2017}}</ref>

=== Conquest of Gauda region in Bengal ===
The Gopinathpur inscription of 1447 CE describes his campaign against the [[Sultan of Bengal]] who tried to raid Odisha but was beaten back by the Gajapati army led by Gopinath Mahapatra, the minister of Kapilendra Deva.{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=35}} The Gajapati army conquered territories of Bengal to the west of Ganga river including the fort of [[Gar Mandaran]].{{sfn|Majumdar|Pusalker|Majumdar|1960|p=366}} Historian R. Subramaniam describes that the title 'Brhamarbara' retained by Kapilendra Deva from the days of his service at the Ganga king's court clearly signifies his control over Brhamarkuta<ref name=":4"/> region of Bengal. An inscription in the Jagannath temple of Puri that is dated to the year 1450 CE narrates the conquest of [[Gauda Kingdom|Gauda]] by Kapilendra Deva after defeating Malika Parisa (Malik Padsah) which in short refers to the contemporary Persianate [[Sultan of Bengal]] by the name [[Mahmud Shah of Bengal|Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah]].

=== The conquest of Rajamahendri ===
[[File:Kondavid-drug near Guntur. 19 February 1804. Signed 'W.R.'.jpg|thumb|1804 picture of Kondavidu Fort near Guntur]]
* '''First Campaign in 1444 CE -''' The first campaign against the alliance of [[Vijayanagara Empire]] and [[Rajahmundry|Rajamahendri]] [[Reddy]]s was unsuccessful as [[Odia people|Odia]] forces had to face a two front war with both the Jaunpur Muslim forces in the north and the [[Rivalry|rival]] [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagara]] [[Hindus|Hindu]] forces under the able leadership of the [[Deva Raya II]]'s able general Mallapa. Kapilendra Deva first diverted his attention in dealing with the invasion in the northern frontiers and hence the campaign in the south was abandoned.
* '''Second Campaign in 1446 CE and Capture of [[Kondaveedu Fort|Kondavidu]] by Hamvira Deva -''' The Odia forces returned in the year 1446 CE led by the Prince [[Hamvira Deva]] or Hamvira Kumara Mahapatra, the eldest son of Kapilendra Deva. The political alliance between the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] and the [[Reddi Kingdom|Reddy Kingdom]] had ceased to exist as [[Deva Raya II]] had died and the power passed on to a weaker successor in [[Mallikarjuna Raya]]. Kapilendra took advantage of this position in the kingdom of Rajahmundry and sent his son [[Hamvira Deva|Hamvira]] with a large army and succeeded in defeating the Reddis very easily. The kingdom of Rajahmundry was thus brought under the sway of Kapilendra before A. D. 1448.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=କୃଷ୍ଣଚନ୍ଦ୍ର ପାଣିଗ୍ରାହୀ |url=http://archive.org/details/history-of-orissa-1986 |title=History of Orissa |last2=Krishna Chandra Panigrahi |last3=Kr̥ṣṇacandra Pāṇigrāhī |last4=Krishna Chandra Panigrahi |last5=Kr̥ṣṇacandra Pāṇigrāhī |date=1986 |publisher=State Committee for Compilation of History of the Freedom Movement Orissa}}</ref>

=== Conquest of Kondavidu ===
The territory to the south of the [[Krishna River|Krishna]] was under the political sway of the [[Vijayanagara dynasty|Vijayanagar kings]] till 1453. This fact is borne out by an inscription of Mallikarjuna dated 1453, at Matamuru in the Guntur district.<ref>{{Cite book |last=KHALIQ |first=AHMED NIZAMI |url=http://archive.org/details/dli.bengal.10689.12483 |title=A COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF INDIA VOL.5 |date=1970 |publisher=PEOPLE’S PUBLISHING HOUSE,NEW DELHI}}</ref> After August 1453, Kapilendra's army crossed the Krishna and occupied [[Kondavidu]]. Ganadeva Rautraya a relation of Kapilendra, was appointed as the governor of [[Kondavidu]], [[Addanki]] and [[Vinukonda]]. Therefore, almost the whole of the Guntur district passed into the hands of the Gajapati Kingdom between 1453 and 1454. The epigraph records conclusively proves that by A.D. 1454 Kapilendra had become the master of the former Reddi kingdoms of Rajahmundry and Kondavidu.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mukherjee |first=Prabhat |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kIy1AAAAIAAJ |title=The History of the Gajapati Kings of Orissa and Their Successors |date=1953 |publisher=General Trading Company |language=en}}</ref>

Dr. Venkataramanaya, points out that some of the Telugu chiefs transferred their allegiance to Kapilendra. when the power of the Raya of Vijayanagara declined on the banks of the Krishna . We learn from chatu verse that Pushapati Tammaraju occupied many forts including [[Bellamkonda]], [[Vadapalli]], Ramgarajukonda as an overlord Kapilendra.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Subrahmanyam |first=R. |title=The Suryavamsi Gajapatis of Orissa}}</ref>

=== Malwa expeditions ===
[[File:Indien2012 1356 Mahur Fort.jpg|thumb|Mahur fort captured by Gajapati Kapilendra Deva]]
*'''Conquest of Mahur -''' The Veligalani plates and Chiruvrolu inscriptions records the prowess of the Gajapati during the Malwa expeditions. Although there is not much mention of a war, but it does show geopolitical scenario in the region during the march of Gajapati Kapilendra Deva's forces as is described by the fear of the Gajapati army among the rulers of Vijayanagara, Gulbarga and Malwa.{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=51}} The text ''Gaṅgādāsapratāpavilāsam'' and the cāṭu verses mentions the conquest of the Mahur fort in 1457 CE during the Malwa expeditions. It describes the campaign where Kapilendra Deva's forces marched against the dominions of the [[Turco-Persian tradition|Turko-Persian]] [[Malwa Sultanate|Malwa]] and [[Bahmani Sultanate|Bahmani]] Sultanates and wrested control of the forts of [[Mahur, Maharashtra|Mahur]] and Bedadakota(Bidar).{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=52}}

=== Conquest of Telangana ===
[[File:Devarakonda Fort On The Hill Surrounded by Pond & Sky Shines On It.jpg|thumb|Devarakonda Fort]]
The political situation in [[Telangana]] provided an opportunity for the Gajapati army to intervene and conquer the territory. The Velama rulers of [[Devarakonda]] in Telangana and the [[Bahmani sultanate|Bahmani Sultan]] [[Alau'd-din Ahmad Shah]] had cordial relations in the initial stages but on the event of war between the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] and the [[Bahmani Sultanate]], the [[Velama]] rulers backed the [[Bahmani Sultanate]] and sought to fight the [[Vijayanagara Empire]]. In an act of revenge the Bahmani sultan invaded the Telegana region and the Bahmani commander Sanjar Khan extracted vengeance on the common people. Native Hindus were sold as slaves. In 1456 CE, Humayun Shah ascended the throne of the Bahmani sultanate and his general Sikander Khan suppressed the rebel Velama chiefs after occupying [[Devarakonda]]. Kapilendra Deva was invited by the Velama chiefs to rescue them from the Bahmani sultans. In 1458 CE, a battle ensued at [[Devarakonda]] between Odia forces led by Prince [[Hamvira Deva]] and the Bahmani forces.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.281018/2015.281018.History-Of#page/n383/mode/2up|title=History Of Orissa 1930 Vol.1, From the Earliest Times to the British Period|publisher=Prabasi Press|year=1930|location=120-2, Upper Circular Road, Calcutta|pages=291, 292, 293, 294}}</ref> As a result of this battle Odia forces came out victorious and Telangana region became a feudal state of the Gajapati empire with the Velama chiefs as the vassal rulers. The victory over the [[Bahmani Sultanate]] forces at [[Devarakonda]] in 1458 CE enabled Kapilendra Deva to assume the title of ''Kalavargeśvara'' which meant the Lord of [[Kalaburagi]].{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=54}}

[[File:Bidar Fort P10.jpg|thumb|Bidar Fort]]
In 1461, Kapilendra Deva orchestrated a significant military campaign during the reign of [[Nizam-Ud-Din Ahmad III|Nizam Shah Bahmani]]. The primary aim of this strategic maneuver was to capture Berar, with a specific focus on the town of [[Achalpur]] in what is now modern-day [[Maharashtra]]. Backed by Kakatiya chiefs, Kapilendra Deva led his forces into a consequential military confrontation against the Bahmani Sultanate. Despite their initial intentions, the Gajapati forces, under Kapilendra Deva's leadership had to retreat. This sudden withdrawal stemmed from Jaunpur Sultan [[Husain Shah of Jaunpur|Husain Sharqi]]'s invasion of Orissa. After capturing [[Tirhut division|Tirhut]], he sent detachments to conquer Orissa. This compelled Kapilendra to retract from Bahmani territories, compelling him to seek peace. This turn of events forced the surrender of the Gajapati forces.{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=56-58}} The outcome of this campaign, set against the backdrop of Nizam Shah Bahmani's rule, left a lasting imprint on the historical tapestry of the region, shaping the narrative of Kapilendra Deva's military endeavors.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Haque |first=Mohammed Anwarul |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Co8eAAAAMAAJ |title=Muslim Administration in Orissa, 1568-1751 A.D. |date=1980 |publisher=Punthi Pustak |pages=34 |language=en}}</ref>

=== Subjugation of the Vijayanagara Empire and Expansion ===
[[File:Udayagiri Fort (33).jpg|alt=Udayagiri fort situated in Nellore district was first built by conquering forces of Kapilendra Deva as the military headquarters of his empire's southern parts.|thumb|260x260px|[[Udayagiri, Nellore district|Udayagiri]] fort situated in Nellore district was first built by the conquering forces of Kapilendra Deva as the military headquarters of his Gajapati empire's southern territories.]]
From the documents of the ''Gangadasa Bilasa Charitam'', it is known that Kapilendra Deva ordered prince [[Hamvira Deva]] to conquer [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagara]] and the [[Bahmani sultanate]]. Hamvira Deva successfully captured the imperial capital city of [[Vijayanagara]] and forced it's weak emperor [[Mallikarjuna Raya]] to pay yearly tribute. Hamvira Deva's general Tamavupala conquered the southern states of [[Udayagiri, Andhra Pradesh|Udayagiri]] and [[Chandragiri]] in the year 1460 CE. The inscriptions of [[Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam|Srirangam Temple]] near [[Tiruchirappalli|Trichinapalli]] dictate that Hamvira Deva conquered as far as Trichinapalli, [[Thanjavur|Tanjore]] and [[Arcot, Vellore|Arcot]] in south before stopping his advance. Hamvira Deva's son Dakshina Kapileswara Kumara became the governor of the southernmost territories of Chandragiri in the year 1464 CE after its conquest.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/94396/8/08_chapter%202.pdf|title=Some aspects of administration and society in Medieval Andhra AD 1038 to 1538 under the later Eastern Gangas and the Suryavamsa Gajapatis, Chapter II, Section II - The Suryavamsa Gajapatis.

By 1464 CE, Kapilendra Deva was the undisputed master of an [[Gajapati Empire|empire]] stretching from the [[Ganges]] in the north to [[Tiruchirappalli]] in the south along the coast. Thus he could proudly assume the imperial titles of ''Gajapati Gauḍeśvara Navakoṭi Karṇāṭa Kalavargeśvara'' with due justification. According to the historian [[R. C. Majumdar]], Kapilendra Deva was the most powerful Hindu monarch of his time and under him Odisha became an empire stretching from the lower Ganga in the north to the Kaveri in the south.{{sfn|Majumdar|Pusalker|Majumdar|1960|p=367}} The Gopinathpur inscription aptly describes his position in 1464 CE:{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=58}}

''Kṛtvā saṃyati Māḷāvendra-jayinaṃ senādhināthaṃ tu yaṃ Gauḍendrasya nitāntam Utkala-patha-prasthāna rodhārgaḷaṃ Śrīkhaṃṇḍādri payodharopāri karaṃ nirmāya Sānaṃdaṃ Kapileśvaro viharate Karṇāṭa-rājya-śriyā''

== Imperial consolidation ==
[[File:Gajapati Empire of Kapliendra Deva Routaray.jpg|thumb|Extent of Odisha under Kapilendra Deva{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|pp=56-58}}]]
The [[Gajapati Empire]] which reached its height in 1464 CE under Kapilendra Deva was organised into two administrative divisions of ''Dandapata'' and ''Rajya''. Most of the core regions of the empire in the north came under his direct control which were divided into Dandapathas (the division continuing from the Eastern Gangas) under a Governor (parikśa) or were controlled by the feudatory [[Samanta|''Samanta rajas'']]. The southern parts of the empire were divided into Rajyas which were ruled by Governors.{{sfn|Subrahmanyam|1957|p=132}}

== Construction and Culture ==
Kapilendra Deva patronized [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnavite Hinduism]] and expanded the [[Jagannath temple]] at [[Puri]]. Although his entire life was spent in warfare, the Jagannath temple became the center for an efflorescence of drama and dance ([[Odissi]]) and other forms of art during Gajapati rule.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indiadivine.org/articles/232-sanskrit-poets-scholars-orissa.html |title=Sanskrit Poets and Scholars of Orissa |access-date=2011-03-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120804040129/http://www.indiadivine.org/articles/232-sanskrit-poets-scholars-orissa.html |archive-date=2012-08-04 }}</ref> He was a great patron of Vedic culture and himself wrote a Sanskrit play called '''Parshuram Bijaya.''' He constructed the [[Shaivite|Shaivite Hindu]] [[Kapilesvara Siva Temple|Kapilesvara Temple]] in [[Bhubaneswar]] which displays his tolerance towards every sectarian belief under the Hindu domain. It was during the rule of Kapilendra Deva when Odia was officially used as an administrative language and the poet [[Sarala Das]] wrote the Odia Mahabharata. Several learned poets and writers were promoted by him.<ref>{{Cite book|title=History of Odisha|publisher=Kalyani Publishers|year=2004|isbn=81-272-1367-5|location=New Delhi}}</ref> Sanskrit poets also flourished during this era like [[Viswanatha Kaviraja|Visvanatha Kaviraja]] who wrote ''[[Sahityadarpana|Sahitya Darpana]] and Chandrakala Natika along with other works,'' Narsingha Mishra Vajapeyi wrote ''Samksepasariraka vartika and'' Kalidasa Chayani wrote ''Suddhichandrika.''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/features/07-07/features727.htm|title=Sanskrit Poets and Scholars of Orissa By: Dr. Bhagaban Panda|website=www.harekrsna.com|access-date=19 November 2019}}</ref>

Kapilendra Deva had declared himself as a servant-ruler of the [[Lord Jagannath]] which is also reflected in his regnal title ''Routaray'' meaning the Lord's servant-king. The Narendra tank in the [[Jagannath Temple, Puri|Puri Jagannath temple]] premises was constructed by Kapilendra Deva in the memory of his martyred younger brother, Veer Narendra Deva. Fourteen out of sixteen [[ghat]]s of the tank are named after his fourteen nephews. The two concentric defensive stone walls known as ''Kurma Prachira'' (the inner wall measuring 400’ x 278’) and ''Meghanada Prachira'' (the outer wall measuring 665’ x 644’ with height varying from 20’ to 24’) were constructed during the reign of Kapilendra Deva. The ''[[Chandan Yatra|Chandan Jatra]]'' festival of Lord Jagannath was initiated during his rule. He himself donated a large amount of jewelry and utensils to the Puri temple during the 41 anka of his rule. The Gajapati pledged to donate equal amount of wealth and rights to the [[Brahmin]]s. He ordered the abolition of Chaukidari tax paid by [[Brahmin]]s previously and also banned the resumption of waste and pasture lands.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.gov.ignca.34817/page/n249|title=Orissa in the Making by B.C.Mazumdar|publisher=University of Calcutta|year=1925|location=University of Calcutta|pages=213, 214}}</ref> He had ordered his officials to ''follow the path of justice, righteousness and [[Historical Vedic religion|Hindu]] spiritual teachings'' and had warned them that they will face the punishment of exile if they failed to do so.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.32999/page/n229|title=Glimpses of Kalinga History|publisher=Century Publishers|year=1949|location=Calcutta|pages=218, 219}}</ref> During his rule, two Dadhivamana temples were constructed, one each in the village of Kaunrpur and Gopinathpur in [[Cuttack district|Cuttack]] district. Kapilendra Deva was a builder of a welfare state and had ordered not to commit atrocities or impose excessive hardships on the people of his empire.{{citation needed|date=October 2025}}

Produced by [[Vallabhaneni Vamsi Mohan]], the film stars [[N. T. Rama Rao Jr.]] in a [[dual role]] alongside [[Nayanthara]] and [[Sheela Kaur|Sheela]]. [[Mahesh Manjrekar]], [[Ashish Vidyarthi]], [[Brahmanandam]], [[Sayaji Shinde]], [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] and [[Tanikella Bharani]] played supporting roles. The music is composed by [[Devi Sri Prasad]], with cinematography by [[Chota K. Naidu]].

The film follows twin brothers who are separated at birth, one grows up as a witty [[Brahmin priest]] named Chari, while the other becomes an [[Covert operation|undercover agent]]. When a dangerous mission and a sinister conspiracy threaten their lives, the two are unknowingly drawn into each other’s worlds, leading to hilarious misunderstandings, high-stakes action, and an eventual reunion.

Made on a budget of ₹26 [[crore]], the film collected a [[Distributor rental|distributor share]] of ₹28–30 crore, becoming a commercial success.<ref name="Sify" /><ref name="IE" /> It received positive reviews from both audiences and critics for its fast-paced narrative, performances, music and entertainment value. NTR Jr.'s portrayal of Chari, the priest with impeccable comic timing, has since become iconic.

==Plot==
The story follows the birth of identical twin boys to a poor woman. A nurse and an elderly woman, grieving the loss of her own [[Stillbirth|still born]] grandson, secretly swap one of the twins with her deceased grandchild. They justify the act by believing both families would benefit, one avoiding further heartbreak, the other gaining the means to raise just one child given her dire financial situation.

The twins grow up in drastically different environments. One boy, Narasimha, is raised in a tough neighborhood and becomes a fearless and street-smart young man. He works as an undercover agent for the police and aspires to become an officer. He is deeply committed to justice and is in love with Nandu, the daughter of a senior police officer. The other twin, Chari, is raised by a traditional [[Brahmin]] family and grows up to be a devout priest. Gentle and soft-spoken, Chari works without pay under his eccentric guru, Bhattacharya (Bhattu), to repay a family [[debt]].

Bhattu is in love with a young woman named Chandrakala (Chandu), whom he financially supports along with her mother, hoping she will eventually marry him. Unaware of his intentions, Chandu continues to use his help for survival. Bhattu enlists Chari’s help to win Chandu’s heart. They take her to a pub, but when goons harass her, Bhattu flees. Just then, Narasimha arrives at the same pub with his girlfriend and beats up the harassers. Chandu mistakes Narasimha for Chari and falls for him, thinking he is brave and bold.

Meanwhile, a [[Terrorism|terrorist]] group led by Dhanraj is hunting down a famous army scientist, who is the twins’ biological father. They kidnap Narasimha, hoping to pressure his father into developing a deadly [[weapon]]. In Narasimha’s absence, the gang stumbles upon Chari and, mistaking him for Narasimha, offers him a large sum to impersonate the missing man. Desperate for money, Chari agrees but finds himself trapped in a dangerous game far beyond his experience.

Chari’s bumbling attempts to act like the tough Narasimha lead to a series of comic and tense encounters. Eventually, Narasimha escapes captivity, discovers the impersonation, and the brothers finally come face to face. The truth about their origins is revealed, and they reunite with their father. The twins join forces to defeat the terrorists, rescue their father, and destroy the deadly device. In the end, the family is reunited, and balance is restored, with Narasimha earning respect as a true hero and Chari finding love and purpose in his own unique way.

==Reception==
[[Rediff]] gave four stars and said, "Brahmanandam is hilarious. Performance-wise, NTR takes the cake. He is simply marvellous as Chari, the Brahmin spouting loud dialogues while his Narasimha is tough yet more sober. NTR presents the contrasts well. All in all, Adhurs is NTR's show all the way!"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Adurs is NTR's show all the way |url=http://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jan/13/south-telugu-movie-review-adurs.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100116014704/http://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jan/13/south-telugu-movie-review-adurs.htm |archive-date=16 January 2010 |access-date=13 January 2010 |publisher=Rediff}}</ref> [[Sify]] gave a verdict as "Mass entertainer" and noted, "NTR brings total justice to his dual role as Chari and Narasimha. His characterisation as a Brahmin youth is simply superb and hilarious, but at the same time raking up a controversy with a group of the Brahmins community approaching the State governor Mr. Narasimhan to ban the film. On the other hand, NTR's role as Narasimha as the rugged guy would work well with the mass audience. Nayanthara and Sheela provide the glam quotient while Brahmanandam is hilarious as Bhattu, receiving a big footage which runs into nearly 40 minutes in the film."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Movie Review-Adhurs |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/adhurs-review-telugu-14927379.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140317020913/http://www.sify.com/movies/adhurs-review-telugu-14927379.html |archive-date=2014-03-17 |website=[[Sify]]}}</ref> ''[[The Hindu]]'' gave a mixed review stating, [[Ashish Vidyarthi]] "NTR in two roles is pretty easy with the diction.

== Plot ==
The film takes place at an isolated Engineering college in the middle of the [[Coimbatore District|Coimbatore]] forest. The hostels for students are nearby, and the women's hostel, D Block, is in the middle of the forest.

Swathi, a first-year class leader, sees something disturbing and informs her friends. Believing she imagined it, her friends attempt to pacify her. However when she later visits the hostel terrace, she is dragged away by an unknown figure and found dead in the morning.

The administration covers up the cause of her death as a tiger attack, and the principal bribes the police. Meanwhile, Maya, a senior student, meets with Arul and his friends and shows them a drawing of her friend Poornima. Poornima's picture was drawn four years ago, but it exactly matches Swathi's drawing. Maya suggests that someone is behind the deaths, but Arul and his friends refuse to accept it.

One night, Arul and his friends sneak into D Block to meet Arul's girlfriend, Shruti, on her birthday. They see a terrifying figure on the roof of D Block and become scared. When they attempt to inform the college administration, the principal and warden refuse to believe them.

Arul, his friends, and Maya decide to investigate the mystery themselves. They discover that eight other female students have died in the same way as Swathi. One of the dead girls was the daughter of a security guard who had formerly worked at the university. Arul and his friend go to see the guard and find the girl alive but mentally ill. The watchman tells them that the deaths at the university were not caused by a tiger but by something else.

The friends approach a cafeteria worker at the university to learn more about the past. The cafeteria worker tells them that a person named Kali peeked into the girls' washroom while a girl was showering and was brutally hit by college boys and was sent to the police station. The inspector, while getting his details, recognized that he was the same Kali who had suffered from mental illness since childhood and had been involved in the construction of D Block. As a child, Kali kidnapped and killed two girls. Three other girls were also later abducted, and two of them were killed. The surviving girl identified Kali as the killer, and the police arrested Kali and sent him to a rehabilitation center. Later, Kali ran away from the rehabilitation center and became involved in the construction of D Block as a laborer. One day, Kali was caught sneaking into the women's bathroom by several students. The students beat him up before handing him over to the police, but Kali managed to escape. From then on, he began to kidnap and kill girls at the university.

Arul, his friends, and Maya find Kali's entry point into the hostel. They investigate the forest but cannot find anything, and Arul turns to old issues of the college magazine for clues. Later, Arul sees some photos taken by his friend in the forest and realizes that Kali had been standing behind them, and that his next target is Maya. He tries to warn Maya but fails, and he sees Kali pushing Maya from the D Block terrace. Maya's death is ruled as suicide.

Arul tells his friends and Shruti that five of Kali's eight victims had been [[Bharatanatyam]] dancers. At his insistence, Shruti interviews all the classical dancers in the hostel and finds out that one of the girls has recently seen him. Arul and his friends believe that she is Kali's next target. That night, Arul and his friends enter D Block to protect the dancer with the help of their friend, Ria. However, when they find out that the girl has short hair, Arul realizes that Kali doesn't target classical dancers but girls with [[hair fetish|long hair]]. At the same time, they find out that Kali has kidnapped Shruti.

Arul and his friends find Shruti in the forest and bring her back to the hostel. They inform the police and wait for them to arrive, but an enraged Kali returns to the hostel and tries to kidnap Shruti. Arul, his friends, and their seniors struggle to stop him. All the girls in D Block join forces to fight against Kali and trample him to death.

The area constituted the hunting grounds surrounding the [[Monsoon Palace]], used by the [[Udaipur State|Maharanas of Udaipur]] in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The area was made a wildlife sanctuary in 1987. In 2017, an area of 28.7 square kilometres around the boundary of the sanctuary was declared to be an [[Eco-Sensitive Zone]] by the [[Government of India]].<ref name="Gazette_2017" />

== Flora and Fauna ==
Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary is the smallest of Rajasthan's 25 wildlife preserves, the country's largest state by land size. It is barely 5 km from the city of [[Udaipur]] and covers an area of 5.19 km2, with only one block covered by forest.

'''Bird Diversity'''

The sanctuary is home to 129 different bird species, including both terrestrial and aquatic species. In the terrestrial category, there were 33 families, 62 genera, and 91 species listed.<ref name=":0" /> Eight are winter migrants, two are passage migrants, and eighty-one live in the sanctuary, according to local status. Despite being the smallest sanctuary in Rajasthan, Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary is home to several endangered species that fall into various classifications as per IUCN 2008. ''[[Red-headed vulture|Sarcogyps calvus]], [[Indian vulture|Gyps indicus]]'', and [[White-rumped vulture|''Gyps'' ''bengalensis'']], three of the identified vulture species, are classified as severely endangered, while ''Neophron percnopterus'' is classified as endangered<ref name=":0" /> (Bhatnagar et. al 2011, Zoo's Print). White-naped Tis ''Parus'' ''nuchalis'' is important species found in the sanctuary as it is one of the arid specialists endemic species in India. {{Empty section|date=October 2019}}

'''Pandavatutar Perumal Temple''' or '''Thirupadagam''' located in [[Kanchipuram]] in the South Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]], is dedicated to the [[Hinduism|Hindu]] god [[Krishna]], an [[avatar]] of the god [[Vishnu]]. Constructed in the [[Dravidian architecture|Dravidian style of architecture]], the temple is extolled in the ''[[Divya Prabandha|Nalayira Divya Prabandham]]'', the early medieval [[Tamil literature|Tamil]] canon of the [[Alvars|Alvar]] saints from the 6th–9th centuries CE. It is one of the 108 ''[[Divyadesam|Divya Desams]]'' dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Pandava Tutar Perumal ([[Krishna]]) and his consort [[Lakshmi]] ([[Rukmini]]).

The temple is considered one of three oldest temples in Kanchipuram; The other two oldest temples are [[Ulagalantha Perumal Temple, Kanchipuram|Ulagalantha Perumal Temple]] and [[Yathothkari Perumal Temple]]. The temple is believed to have been built by the [[Pallavas]] of the late 8th century CE with later contributions from [[Medieval Cholas]] and [[Vijayanagar Empire|Vijayanagara kings]]. The temple has three inscriptions on its walls, two dating from the period of [[Kulothunga Chola I]] (1070–1120 CE) and one to that of [[Rajadhiraja Chola]] (1018–1054 CE). A granite wall surrounds the temple, all the shrines, and two bodies of water. There is a four-tiered ''[[gopuram|rajagopuram]]'', the temple's gateway tower, in the temple.

Pandava Tutar is believed to have appeared to [[Pandava]]. Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the [[Krishna Janmashtami]] festival, celebrated during the [[Tamil calendar|Tamil]] month of ''Avani'' (August–September), being the most prominent. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]].

==Legend==
[[File:Pandavathoothar (17).jpg |250px|left|thumb|Stucco images on the Gopuram of the temple]]
The temple is associated with a Hindu legend in the epic ''[[Mahabharata]],'' when [[Krishna]] went to the [[Kaurava]]s as an envoy of the [[Pandavas]] ({{IAST|Pāṇḍavatūtar}}). [[Duryodhana]], the eldest Kaurava prince, had a plan to arrest and kill Krishna while he was in the Kaurava capital of [[Hastinapura]]. He dug a deep pit and covered it with a carpet and a chair studded with gems. He had wrestlers hidden in the pit to wrangle Krishna. Krishna, being the avatar of [[Vishnu]], assumed his [[vishvarupa]], his cosmic form, to all the Kaurava courtiers, and also to [[Dhritarashtra]], the blind king and father of Duryodhana.<ref name=M1>[[#Madhavan|Madhavan 2007]], pp. 1-2</ref><ref name=PVR1>[[#PVR|PVR 1982]], p. 46-7</ref><ref name="R1">[[#R.|R. 2001]], pp. 522-3</ref> When Krishna offered a boon to Dhritarashtra, he requested Krishna to make him blind again as he did not want to see anything after seeing the [[vishvarupa]].<ref name=MS>[[#MS|MS 1993]], pp. 57-60</ref> Krishna also appeared in the same form to [[Janamejaya]], the great-grandson of the Pandavas, who performed [[Tapas (Indian religions)|austerities]] to receive the theophany.<ref name=PVR1/><ref name="R1"/>

''Pada'' means big and ''Agam'' means residence, signifying Thirupadagam as the place where Vishnu resides with his giant form.<ref name="MS" />

The temple is considered one of three oldest Vishnu temples in Kanchipuram; The other two are [[Ulagalantha Perumal Temple, Kanchipuram|Ulagalantha Perumal Temple]] and [[Yathothkari Perumal Temple]]. The temple is originally believed to be built during the period of [[Pallavas]]. The temple has a set of inscriptions associated with [[Cholas]]. A record of the [[Chola]] king, Rajakesari Varaman alais [[Kulothunga Chola I]], dated in his fifth year. Records that a merchant provided the temple with a flower garden and purchased from the village of Ovirukkai some lands for the benefit of the gardeners. The cost of the 2,000 ''kulis''(tax-free) was 11 ''kalanjus'' equal in finesse of Madhuranthaka ''madai'' and the assembly could not levy in consequences ''vellikasu'', ''nirallai'', ''silvari'', ''sorumattu'' etc. The south wall of the temple has inscriptions of [[Kulothunga Chola I]], dated in his 39th year. Records gift of two ''kalanjus'' and two ''manjadi'' by a merchant to the ''[[pujari]]'' (temple priest) who were to supply two malis of curd daily.<ref>[[#Ayyar|Ayyar 1991]], p. 95</ref><ref name=M4>[[#Madhavan|Madhavan 2007]], pp. 4-5</ref> There are inscriptions on the base of the western wall of the central shrine from the period of [[Rajadhiraja Chola II]] (1166-78 CE) indicating gifts of 32 cows for lighting lamps of the temple.<ref name=MS/>

The temple in Periya Kanchipuram, a locality in central [[Kanchipuram]], a [[South Indian]]n town in the state of [[Tamil Nadu]].<ref>{{cite book|title=The Top Ten Temple Towns of India|publisher=Mark Age Publication|first=S.C.|last=Karkar|location=Kolkota|isbn=978-81-87952-12-1|year=2009|page=46}}</ref><ref name=PVR2/> The main entrance of the temple faces east and the temple has a rectangular plan.

The central shrine of the temple has a large image of the presiding deity Pandava Tutar, which is measured at a height of {{convert|25|ft|m|abbr=on}}. Such a large historical image of [[Krishna]] is unique, for the only idols of similar statures are the main idols of the Ulagalantha Perumal Temple, located in [[Ulagalantha Perumal Temple, Kanchipuram|Kanchipuram]] and in [[Ulagalantha Perumal Temple, Tirukoyilur|Tirukoilur]].<ref name="MS" /><ref>{{cite book|title=Tourism in Tamil Nadu: Growth and Development|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jTmbDwAAQBAJ&dq=piranmalai&pg=PA106|page=32|last=Pillai|first=S.

The preceding hall to the main sanctum, Mukha Mandapa, has bronze images of the festival deities of the temple and the [[Alvars]]. The most prominent of them is of Arulala Permula Emburamanar, the disciple of [[Ramanuja]], whose image is rarely found in other Vishnu temples.<ref name="M4" />

The Shrine of [[Rukmini]] is located to the south of the main shrine and has the image of Rukmini. There are modern additions like [[Sudarshana Chakra|Chakratalvar]] with an image of [[Narasimha]] on it reverse located behind the main shrine. Matsya Tirtham, the [[Pushkarni|temple tank]], is located on the northeastern side of the temple.<ref name="M2" />

==Festivals and religious practices==
[[File:Pandavathoothar (4).jpg |250px|left|thumb|Image of the vimana of the Thayar shrine]]
The temple follows the traditions of the [[Thenkalai|Tenkalai]] sect of Vaishnavite tradition and follows ''vaikanasa aagama''. The temple priests perform the ''[[puja (Hinduism)|pooja]]'' (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. As at other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnavaite]] community, from the Brahmin class. The temple rituals are performed six times a day: ''Ushathkalam'' at 7 a.m., ''Kalasanthi'' at 8:00 a.m., ''Uchikalam'' at 12:00 p.m., ''Sayarakshai'' at 6:00 p.m., ''Irandamkalam'' at 7:00 p.m. and ''Ardha Jamam'' at 10:00 p.m. Each ritual has three steps: ''alangaram'' (decoration), ''neivethanam'' (food offering) and ''deepa aradanai'' (waving of lamps) for both Pandava Tutar and Rukmini. During the last step of worship, ''[[nagaswaram]]'' (pipe instrument) and ''[[tavil]]'' (percussion instrument) are played, religious instructions in the ''[[Vedas]]'' (sacred text) are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the [[Iconography of Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu#Dvajasthamba and Pali Peedam|temple mast]]. There are weekly, monthly and fortnightly rituals performed in the temple.<ref name="dinamalar">{{cite web|title=Pandava Thoothar Temple|url=https://temple.dinamalar.com/en/new_en.php?id=231|publisher=Dinamalar|access-date=31 May 2014|year=2014}}</ref>

The major festival of the temple is [[Krishna Janmashtami|Krishna Janmasthami]], celebrated during the [[Tamil calendar|Tamil]] month of ''Avani'' (August–September). The other major festival of the temple celebrated during Bharani of ''Karthikai'' (November–December) in honour of Arulala Peruman Emperumanar.<ref name=M4/><ref name=Chari/>

==Religious importance==
The temple is revered in ''[[Nalayira Divya Prabandham]]'', the 7th–9th century Vaishnava canon, by [[Peyalvar]], [[Bhoothathazhwar|Bhoothathalvar]], [[Thirumazhisai Aazhwar|Tirumalisai Alvar]], [[Nammazhwar|Nammalvar]], and [[Thirumangai alvar|Thirumangai Alvar]]. The Alvars have sung praise on the different forms of Pandava Tutar. The temple is classified as a ''[[Divyadesam|Divya Desam]]'', one of the 108 Vishnu temples that are mentioned in the book. Many [[acharyas]] have also written songs on the various forms of God in this Temple.<ref name="M4"/><ref name=PVR2>[[#PVR|PVR 1982]], p. 49</ref><ref>[[#KR|Soundara Rajan 2001]], p. 38</ref> Saint Emperumalar was believed to have been born in this place - he had a debate with saint [[Ramanuja]] for 18 days and finally became his disciple.
