''' Lok Niwas,''' formerly '''Raj Niwas''' ([[translation]]: ''Government House'') is the [[official residence]] of the [[Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry]]. It is located in [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]]'s capital city of [[Pondicherry (city)|Pondicherry]]. Once, it was the [[official residence]] of the French Governors.<ref>Pg.67, India: The Elephant's Blessing, Aline Dobbie</ref>

[[File:Le palais du Gouvernement (Pondichéry, Inde) (13995096515).jpg|thumb|Le palais du Gouvernement (Pondichéry, Inde) (13995096515)]]

[[File:L'Hotel Du Gouvernement ,La Fontaine.jpg|thumb|The Governor's Palace in 1900]]

==History==

Lok Niwas, formerly Le Palais Du Governor, then Raj Niwas, is surrounded by the Rue Jawaharlal Nehru on the north, Rue De Rangapoule on the south, Rue Saint Louis on the east and Rue Francois Martin on the west with access from the north and south.

[[Pierre Benoît Dumas]], the French Governor for Pondicherry, laid the foundation for a Governor’s palace in 1738 but the palace had to wait for the arrival of [[Joseph François Dupleix]] to see its completion.

When [[Jean Law de Lauriston]] took over Pondicherry in 1765 the town was completely in ruins. Within a short span of three years a whole new town sprang up on the ruins of the old - the Governor’s Palace and the administration offices on the north, the warehouses on the south, the military barracks on the east and west.

==Architecture==
{{anchor | Arch | arch }}
{{see also | Architecture of India#State | l1= Architecture of Indian states and UTs | Architecture of India#Indic | l2= Architecture of Indic religions | Indian vernacular architecture | Ancient Indian architecture }}

The House of the Governor, now the Lok Niwas, was built on the former site of the Hotel de la Compaigne.

Initially built in the French [[French Baroque architecture|Baroque]]<ref>Encyclopedia of Interior Design, Joanna Banham</ref> style, it was destroyed in the year 1761 by the British and was subsequently rebuilt in the [[Rococo]] style from 1766 onwards.

It was a rectangular, single storied structure running east to west with porticoes on either side of the flanked by two other rectangular wings on the east and west, but was later converted into a double storied House.

Much later the Southern Verandas were subsequently widened and its frontage was beautified and given a face-lift. Since then the southern gate has been the official entrance of the Raj Niwas.

[[File:Governor 's Palace Then.jpg|thumb|Raj Niwas before independence.]]

==Features==

The Governor’s Palace provides accommodation for state and personal guests of the Governor.

The suites are named after the various regions of the Union Territory, namely Pondicherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam.[[File:Governor's Residence in 1910.jpg|thumb|Alfred Albert Martineau 's period]]

==Description==

The Lok Niwas has a valuable collection of ancient artifacts and a magnificent collection of crockery, brass and silver wares, crockery, delicate porcelain, coins, statues, crockery, vases, antique furniture, crockery and grand piano which adds a rich and regal ambience to this stately residence.

==Eco-initiatives at the Raj Niwas==

Eco-initiatives at the Lok Niwas include eco-initiatives to reuse, reduce and recycle and conserve energy.

The Lok Niwas kitchen follows the mantra of serving local, organic food.

Eco-friendly products are sourced from local producers and are used at the Lok Niwas and provided for the guests.

Under its green initiative, local artisans and craftsman are supported by ensuring that all gifts, mementos and decorative are sourced specifically from Puducherry.

== Etymology ==
The term ''Unani'' dates back to the ancient Greek place-name [[Ionia|Ἰωνία]] (Iōnía), a coastal region on the eastern [[Aegean Sea|Aegean]]. The [[Ionians]] were the major ethnic group of the region, and their name became the primary [[Arabic]] and [[Persian language|Persian]] reference for [[Greece]] as a civilization, known as ''Yūnānistan''.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Ionian {{!}} Definition & Facts {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ionian |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260128065726/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ionian |archive-date=2026-01-28 |access-date=2026-03-11 |work=Encyclopedia Britannica |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Yunanistan |date=2025-12-06 |work=Wiktionary, the free dictionary |url=https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Yunanistan&oldid=88404915 |access-date=2026-03-11 |language=en}}</ref>
==History==

=== Ancient Greece (1200 BC – 600 AD) ===
[[File:Humorism.svg|thumb|203x203px| Chart of humoral theory|left]]
Unani medicine established its foundations in [[ancient Greece]]. [[Hippocrates]] (c. 460–380 BCE) constructed the [[Humorism|four-humor framework]] (blood (dam), phlegm (balg), yellow bile (safra), and black bile (sawda)), attributing the cause of disease to an imbalance of internal humoral and bodily composition.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Masood |first1=Mohsin |last2=Fahad |first2=Ataullah |last3=Yasir |first3=Mohammed |date=2025-07-15 |title=Empirical Observation of Akhlāṭ: An Experimental Study |url=https://jddtonline.info/index.php/jddt/article/view/7264 |journal=Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics |language=en |volume=15 |issue=7 |pages=29–32 |doi=10.22270/jddt.v15i7.7264 |issn=2250-1177}}</ref>

[[Galen|Galen of Pergamon]] (born c. 129 CE) continued to elevate this humoral theory, contributing theories such as breath (pneuma) and "The Four Faculties of a living organism", consolidating the theoretical diagnostic structure that Unani Medicine would be built upon.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-02-06 |title=Experimental evidence for the humoral circulatory system – Hektoen International |url=https://hekint.org/2020/02/06/experimental-evidence-for-the-humoral-circulatory-system/ |access-date=2026-03-08 |website=hekint.org |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Islamic Golden Age (786–1258) ===

During the [[Islamic Golden Age]] ([[8th century|8th]]–[[14th century|14th]] centuries), Caliphs Harun Rashid and [[Al-Mansur]] commissioned Arabic translations of Greek and [[Sanskrit]] medical works via the [[House of Wisdom|Bayt al-Hikma]] (House of Wisdom) in [[Baghdad]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bsoul |first=Labeeb Ahmed |date=2019 |title=Translation Movement and Acculturation in the Medieval Islamic World |url=https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-21703-7?error=cookies_not_supported&code=73b25378-55ad-43b2-8cd7-1125fa78ff05 |doi=10.1007/978-3-030-21703-7 |isbn=978-3-030-21702-0 }}</ref> [[Abu Bakr al-Razi|Al-Razi]] (c. 854–925 CE) built upon this information, producing the ''[[Al-Hawi|Kitab al-Hawi]]'' (The Comprehensive Book), one of the largest medical encyclopedias of the medieval world which contained important clinical contributions, including the first recorded distinction between [[smallpox]] and [[measles]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Medical Influence of Rhazes {{!}} Encyclopedia.com |url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/medical-influence-rhazes |access-date=2026-03-08 |website=www.encyclopedia.com}}</ref>

Following this, [[Avicenna|Ibn Sina]] (or Avicenna, 980–1037 CE) synthesized the vast medical knowledge into the [[The Canon of Medicine|''Kitab al-Qanun fi al-tibb'']] (The law of Medicine), finishing it in [[Hamadan]], where he died in 1037 CE. The Kitab al-Qanun fi al-tibb is a set of 5 large texts, which remained a foundational medical reference in both Arab and European institutions for centuries after.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Significance of Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine in the Arab and Western worlds {{!}} Encyclopedia.com |url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/significance-ibn-sinas-canon-medicine-arab-and-western-worlds |access-date=2026-03-08 |website=www.encyclopedia.com}}</ref> [[Averroes|Ibn Rushd]] (or Averroes, 1126–1198 CE) later produced the ''[[Colliget|Kitab al-Kulliyyat fi al-Tibb]]'' (Colliget), a theoretical framework for Unani medicine that extended its reach westward into [[Al-Andalus]].<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Sage Journals: Discover world-class research |url=https://journals.sagepub.com/action/cookieAbsent |access-date=2026-03-08 |website=Sage Journals |language=en |doi=10.1177/0967772020981310}}</ref>

=== Mughal period (1526–1857) ===
[[File:3 HakimMohd large.jpg|left|thumb|272x272px|Depiction of Hakim Muhammad Sharif Khan]]
Unani arrived in [[India]] by the [[12th century]], carried by [[Muslims|Muslim]] scholars and grew its influence during court patronage throughout the [[Delhi Sultanate]] and the [[Mughal Empire]]. When the [[Mongols]] invaded [[Iran|Persia]] and [[Central Asia]], many Unani Hakims (physicians) were displaced, fleeing to India where some were appointed as court physicians.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ahmad |first=Ashfaque |title=Contribution of Alī Gilānī (1554–1609 AD), a 16th Century Physician of India, in the Treasure of Unani Medicine. |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377455826 |journal=Journal of Indian Medical Heritage |pages=77–81 |via=Reaserchgate}}</ref> Furthermore, Emperors [[Akbar]] (r. 1556–1605), [[Shah Jahan]] (r. 1628–1658), and [[Aurangzeb]] (r. 1658–1707) commissioned translations of [[Persian language|Persian]] medical texts, enriching the medical practices and knowledge in the Mughal Empire.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Speziale |first=Fabrizio |date=2009-07-09 |title=The Circulation of Ayurvedic knowledge in Indo-Persian Medical Literature |url=https://shs.hal.science/halshs-00584749 |journal=HAL Archives |language=en}}</ref>

One large document, The ''[[Ilajat-I Dara Shikohi]]'' ('Ilājāt-i Dārā Šikōhī), is one of the largest written Persian medical manuals composed in Mughal India. This document written by [[Nur al-Din Shirazi]] (Nūr al-Dīn Šīrāzī), compiled both Muslim and Indian medical arts and gave a vast overview of the knowledge circulating among Muslim physicians in the Mughal Empire.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Speziale |first=Fabrizio |date= |title=The Encounter of Medical Traditions in Nūr al-Dīn Šīrāzī's ʿIlājāt-i Dārā Šikōhī* |url=https://www.scribd.com/document/430281278/The-Encounter-of-Medical-Traditions-in-Dara-Shikoh?v=0.690 |journal=eJournal of Indian Medicine |pages=53–67 |via=HALSHS}}</ref> From the [[18th century]], Unani acquired a distinctly Indian character. The [[pharmacopoeia]] began utilizing local herbs and minerals and the system of medicine passed down family-lineages, entering the vernacular literature.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Parveen |first1=Abida |last2=Ahmad |first2=Minhaj |last3=Parveen |first3=Bushra |last4=Parveen |first4=Rabea |last5=Iqbal |first5=Muhammad |title=The traditional system of Unani medicine, its origin, evolution and Indianisation: A critical appraisal |url=https://nopr.niscpr.res.in/bitstream/123456789/60204/1/IJTK%20Vol.21%283%29%20511-521.pdf |journal=Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge |volume=21 |issue=3 |pages=511–521 |via=NIScPR Online Periodicals Repository}}</ref>

=== British colonial period (1858–1947) ===
[[File:Hakim Ajmal Khan 1987 stamp of India.jpg|thumb|Hakim Ajmal Khan as depicted on the stamp of India|214x214px]]
During [[British Raj|British rule]], Western medicine (referred to as [[doctory]]) was prioritized over traditional systems throughout [[Indian subcontinent|the sub-continent]], leading to a decline of traditional medical systems in British India. The dominant response and critique to Western medicine were Unani reformists who advocated for the legitimacy and retention of the Unani Tibb, considering it a distinct form of knowledge separate from Western medicine. Although they criticized the Western medical dominance, reformists emphasized adopting processes like the [[scientific method]] to Unani medical research.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Quaiser |first=Neshat |title=COLONIAL POLITICS OF MEDICINE AND POPULAR UNANI RESISTANCE |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342925130 |journal=Social History of Medicine |volume=2 |via=ResearchGate}}</ref>

In 1883, Hakim Abdul Majeed established the Madrasa Tibbia (now [[Ayurvedic and Unani Tibbia College|Tibbia College]]) in [[New Delhi]], as an institutional response to the suppression of indigenous medical systems under British rule. [[Hakim Ajmal Khan]] (1868–1927) continued to expand this institution, using it as a platform to resist a proposed British ban on indigenous medicine.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History {{!}} Official Website of Ayurvedic and Unani Tibbia College and Hospital, Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, India |url=http://app.delhi.gov.in/history |access-date=2026-03-08 |website=app.delhi.gov.in}}</ref>

=== Post-colonial period (1948 – current) ===

Following [[Independence Day (India)|Indian independence]] in 1947, Unani, among other traditional medicine systems, gained formal governmental recognition after their colonial marginalization. The Majeedi family of Delhi made significant contributions toward the modernization of the Unani drug industry during this time. Particularly, [[Hakim Abdul Hameed]] (1908–1999) establishing the Institute of History of Medicine and Medical Research (IHMMR) in New Delhi in 1962, which developed into the [[Jamia Hamdard]] (deemed to be university) in 1989.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT- केंद्रीय यूनानी चिकित्सा अनुसंधान परिषद {{!}} Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine आयुष मंत्रालय, भारत सरकार {{!}} Ministry of Ayush, Government of India |url=https://ccrum.res.in/UserView?mid=1411 |access-date=2026-03-08 |website=ccrum.res.in}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |title=Unani Medicine in India — an Overview |url=https://ccrum.res.in/writereaddata/UploadFile/Origin%20of%20Development%20.pdf |journal=Ministry of Ayush, Government of India |via=Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine}}</ref>

The Indian government identified the need for standardization of indigenous medicine systems, culminating in the Indian Medicine Central Council Act of 1970,<ref>{{Cite web |date=1970 |title=THE INDIAN MEDICINE CENTRAL COUNCIL ACT |url=https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/15396/1/ccim_act.pdf}}</ref> which established the [[Central Council of Indian Medicine]] (CCIM, succeeded by [[National Commission for Indian System of Medicine]] (NCISM) as the statutory body for maintaining uniform educational standards across Unani, [[Ayurveda]], and [[Siddha medicine|Siddha]] programs nationally.

The [[Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine]] (CCRUM), established in March 1978, serves as the apex government body coordinating scientific research into Unani [[pharmacology]], clinical practice, and drug standardization.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Home- केंद्रीय यूनानी चिकित्सा अनुसंधान परिषद {{!}} Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine |url=https://ccrum.res.in/Home/#skipmaincontent |access-date=2026-03-08 |website=ccrum.res.in}}</ref> In 2014, the Government of India elevated the Department of [[Ministry of Ayush|AYUSH]] into a full ministry, formally situating Unani within the national health infrastructure of India (alongside Ayurveda, Yoga, Siddha, and [[Homeopathy]]). Established in 1984, the [[National Institute of Unani Medicine]] (NIUM) in Bengaluru serves as a pinnacle institution for postgraduate Unani education and research in India.

'''Johann Heinrich Graf{{efn|{{German title|Graf}}}} von Bernstorff''' (14 November 1862 – 6 October 1939) was a German politician and [[German Ambassador to the United States|ambassador to the United States]] from 1908 to 1917.

== Early life ==
Born in 1862 in London, he was the son of one of the most powerful politicians in the [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussian Kingdom]]. As Foreign Minister for Prussia, his father, [[Count Albrecht von Bernstorff]], had earned the ire of [[Otto von Bismarck]] in the Prussian constitutional crisis of 1859–1866. Overestimating his political strength, Bernstorff resigned in a spat over the constitution with the expectation to force his will on the Prussian government. However, the Emperor accepted Bernstorff's miscalculated challenge and appointed Bismarck chancellor and foreign minister. For the rest of his life, Bernstorff would criticise Bismarck's [[Machiavelli]]an style of governing. In 1862, the elder Bernstorff served as ambassador to the [[Court of St James's]]. For the next eleven years, the young Bernstorff grew up in England until his father's death, in 1873. After moving back to Germany, he went to the humanistic gymnasium in [[Dresden]] from which he graduated with a baccalaureate in 1881.

While Bernstorff's dream had always been to pursue a diplomatic career, the family feud with Bismarck made an appointment to the diplomatic service impossible.<ref>Heribert von Feilitzsch, ''In Plain Sight: Felix A. Sommerfeld, Spymaster in Mexico, 1908 to 1914,'' Henselstone Verlag, Virginia, 2012, pp. 203–204</ref> As a result, he joined the [[Prussian Army]] for the next eight years and served in an artillery unit in Berlin.

After being elected a member of the [[Reichstag (German Empire)|Reichstag]], he finally succeeded in convincing the Bismarcks to settle the dispute with the long-dead father.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-EVdYq7oK_kC&q=Johann+heinrich+bernstorff&pg=PA332|title=World War I |access-date=19 October 2009 |work=Priscilla Mary Roberts |year=2006 |isbn=9781851098798 |last1=Tucker |first1=Spencer |publisher=Abc-Clio }}</ref> In 1887, von Bernstorff married Jeanne Luckemeyer, a [[German-American]].<ref>[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1908/11/08/104812381.pdf NY Times 8 November 1908]</ref> She was a native of New York City and daughter of a wealthy silk merchant.<ref>"Bernstorff's wife again U.S. citizen," ''The New York Times'', 25 February 1939, p. 13.</ref>

==Career==
===First diplomatic postings===
His first diplomatic assignment was [[Constantinople]], where he served as military attaché. From 1892 to 1894, he served at the German embassy in [[Belgrade]]. After a brief assignment to [[St. Petersburg]] (1895–1897), Bernstorff was stationed in [[Munich]] for a period.

Despite his family's problems with the Bismarcks, Bernstorff basically agreed with Bismarck's policies, particularly the decision to found the German Reich without Austria in 1871. As a diplomat, Bernstorff adamantly supported Anglo-German rapprochement and considered the policies of [[Wilhelm II]] "reckless".<ref>Johann Count von Bernstorff, Memoirs of Count Bernstorff, Random House, New York, NY, 1936.</ref>

In 1908, Bernstorff was appointed the German ambassador to the United States.<ref name=Venzon>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YiZRC8bsOuoC&pg=PA82|title=The United States in the First World War: an encyclopedia |access-date=19 October 2009 |year=1999 |isbn=9780815333531 |last1=Venzon |first1=Anne Cipriano |last2=Miles |first2=Paul L. |publisher=Taylor & Francis }}</ref>

Bernstorff was recalled to Germany on 7 July 1914 and returned on 2 August, upon the outbreak of the [[World War I]]. Bernstorff's ambassadorship in Washington was characterised by a diplomatic battle with the British ambassador, Sir [[Cecil Spring Rice]], with both men attempting to influence the American government's position regarding the war.<ref>S. Gwynn, 'The Letters and Friendships of Sir Cecil Spring Rice' (Constable & Co Lt, London, 1929), 352.</ref> That year, the German diplomatic mission also began supporting the expatriate [[Indian independence movement#World War|Indian movement for independence]].

Prior to the submarine crisis following the [[sinking of the RMS Lusitania]], the ambassador had privately concluded that the submarine campaign was of questionable legality and against Germany's best interests. Bernstorff issued a warning in US newspapers about the general dangers of the submarine war-zone, but this warning was coincidentally printed just before the ship set sail. During the crisis, contrary to Germany's official defenses, Bernstorff believed that Lusitania could not have been targeted specifically, and that it was "obviously sound policy to refrain as far as possible from any attack on passenger ships".<ref name="Bernstorff">{{cite book|first=Johann Heinrich|last=von Bernstorff|title=My Three Years in America|year=1920|pages=136–140|url=https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/30865/pg30865-images.html}}</ref> Bernstorff saw his role as preserving diplomatic relations with the US "under all circumstances", and frequently acted without or exceeded instruction from Berlin, for which he was sometimes reprimanded.<ref>{{cite thesis|title = International law, German submarines and American policy | last = Manson | first = Janet Marilyn | year = 1977 | publisher = Portland State University | degree = Master of Arts | doi = 10.15760/etd.2489|pages = 121, 179| doi-access = free }}</ref> This was most significant in the crisis around the [[Arabic pledge|sinking of the SS ''Arabic'']] in August 1915.

Bernstorff was returned home on 3 February 1917, when US President [[Woodrow Wilson]] severed diplomatic relations with Germany after the resumption of [[unrestricted submarine warfare]]. Upon receiving the news, Colonel [[Edward M. House]] wrote to him: "It is too sad that your Government should have declared the unrestricted U-boat war at a moment when we were so near to peace. The day will come when people in Germany will see how much you have done for your country in America."{{sfn|von Bernstorff|1920|pages=382-383}}

===Sabotage activities===
{{More citations needed section|date=April 2024}}
As ambassador, Bernstorff was also provided with a large [[slush fund]] to finance intelligence operations. He began with attempts to assist German-Americans who wished to return home to fight by forging passports to get them through the Allied [[blockade]]. As the blockade began to prevent American munitions manufacturers from trading with Germany, Bernstorff began financing sabotage missions to obstruct arms shipments to Germany's enemies. Some of the plans included a September 1914 attempt at destroying the [[Welland Canal]], which circumvents [[Niagara Falls]].

Bernstorff was assisted by Captain [[Franz von Papen]], later a German chancellor, and Captain [[Karl Boy-Ed]], a naval attaché. The commercial attaché, [[Heinrich Albert (politician)|Heinrich Albert]], was the finance officer for the sabotage operations. Papen and the German consulate in San Francisco were known to have been extensively involved in the [[Hindu–German Conspiracy]], especially in the [[Annie Larsen affair|''Annie Larsen'' gun-running plot]]. Although Bernstorff himself officially denied all knowledge, most accounts agree that he was intricately involved as part of the German intelligence and sabotage offensive in America against Britain. After the capture of the {{ship||Annie Larsen}} and confiscation of its cargo, Bernstorff made efforts to recover the $200,000 worth of arms and insisted that they were meant for Colonel [[Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck]] in [[German East Africa]]. That was futile, however, and the arms were auctioned off.

In December 1914, a humorous British article on his activities in the United States, ''The Amazing Ambassador'', by [[P.G. Wodehouse]], was published in the ''Sunday Chronicle'' on 13 December 1914.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.madameulalie.org/others/The_Amazing_Ambassador.html|title=Madame Eulalie - Stories from Other Publications}}</ref> That month also saw Bernstorff receive a cable from the German Foreign Office that instructed him to target the Canadian railways. On 1 January 1915, the Roebling Wire and Cable plant in [[Trenton, New Jersey|Trenton]], [[New Jersey]], was blown up. On 28 January, an American merchant ship carrying wheat to Britain was sunk. On 2 February 1915, Lieutenant Werner Horn was captured after the [[1915 Vanceboro international bridge bombing|Vanceboro international bridge bombing]].

In 1915, Bernstorff also helped organise what became known as the [[Great Phenol Plot]], an attempt to divert [[phenol]] from the production of [[high explosives]] in the United States, which would end up being sold to the British, and to prop up several German-owned chemical companies that made [[aspirin]] and its precursor, [[salicylic acid]]. In September 1915, his agents attempted to influence the negotiations between American banks and the [[Anglo-French Financial Commission]] but failed to prevent an agreement from being reached. In 1916, his wife was involved in blackmail plot by a former German spy, [[Armgaard Karl Graves]]. In July 1916, the [[Black Tom explosion]] was the most spectacular of the sabotage operations.

Some of Bernstorff's other activities were exposed by the British Secret Service, which had obtained and distributed to the press a photograph of him "in a swimming costume with his arms around two similarly dressed women, neither of whom was his wife".<ref>''MI6, The History of the Secret Intelligence Service 1909 – 1949'', Keith Jeffery, Bloomsbury, 2010. p. 113</ref> In 1910, [[Brown University]] had conferred an [[Honorary degree|honorary]] [[Doctor of Laws]] degree on Bernstorff. At the school's commencement in 1918, while the war was going on, University President [[William Faunce]] read a resolution of the board of fellows revoking the degree because "while he was Ambassador of the Imperial German Government to the United States and while the nations were still at peace, [Bernstorff] was guilty of conduct dishonorable alike in a gentleman and a diplomat".<ref>Martha Mitchell, "[https://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/Databases/Encyclopedia/search.php?serial=H0200 Honorary degrees] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724164029/https://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/Databases/Encyclopedia/search.php?serial=H0200 |date=24 July 2019 }}" in ''Encyclopedia Brunoniana'' (1993).</ref>

=== Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire ===
He assumed his position as ambassador to the [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1917. Bernstorff conceded that the Ottoman policy against the Armenians was one of [[Armenian genocide|exterminating the race]].<ref name=bernstorff /> Bernstorff provided a detailed account of the massacres in his memoirs, ''Memoirs of Count Bernstorff''. In his memoirs, Bernstorff recounts a conversation with [[Talaat Pasha|Talat Pasha]] after the massacres had been concluded: "When I kept on pestering him about the Armenian question, he once said with a smile: 'What on earth do you want? The question is settled, there are no more Armenians.'"<ref name=bernstorff>{{cite book|last=A.|first=Bernstorff|title=Memoirs of Count Bernstorff|year=2011|publisher=Kessinger Publishing|isbn=978-1-169-93525-9|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pXXztgAACAAJ}}</ref>

Bernstorff was proposed as Foreign Minister in [[Philipp Scheidemann]]'s [[Cabinet Scheidemann|cabinet]] in 1919, but he refused that post and left the diplomatic service.<ref name=Venzon/> He became a founding member of the [[German Democratic Party]] (''Deutsche Demokratische Partei'') and a member of the [[Reichstag (Weimar Republic)|German Parliament]] in 1921 to 1928.

'''''Kadhal Kottai''''' ({{translation|''The Fort of Love''}}) is a 1996 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[romantic drama film]] written and directed by [[Agathiyan]], and produced by [[Sivasakthi Movie Makers]]. The film stars [[Ajith Kumar]] and [[Devayani (actress)|Devayani]] in the lead roles, with [[Heera Rajagopal|Heera]], [[Thalaivasal Vijay]], and [[Karan (actor)|Karan]] in supporting roles. It revolves around two people who develop a romance anonymously.

''Kadhal Kottai'' was released on 12 July 1996 and ran for over 275 days at the Tamil Nadu box office, becoming a [[silver-jubilee film]].<ref>{{Cite news |title='Kadhal Kottai' to 'Viswasam': Five blockbuster box office hits of Thala Ajith |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/kadhal-kottai-to-viswasam-five-blockbuster-box-office-hits-of-thala-ajith/photostory/74513549.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200315013816/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/kadhal-kottai-to-viswasam-five-blockbuster-box-office-hits-of-thala-ajith/photostory/74513549.cms |archive-date=15 March 2020 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=6 March 2020|access-date=31 March 2020}}</ref> It was one of Ajith's highly successful films at the early time of his career. The film won the [[National Film Award for Best Tamil Feature Film]], the [[National Film Award for Best Direction]] and the [[National Film Award for Best Screenplay]] (Agathiyan). In 1997, it was dubbed and released in Telugu as ''Premalekha''. It was remade in [[Kannada]] as ''[[Yaare Neenu Cheluve]]'' (1998), in Bengali as ''[[Hothat Brishti]]'' (1998) and in Hindi as ''[[Sirf Tum]]'' (1999) by the same director.

== Plot ==
Kamali, a graduate, lives with her sister Malliga and brother-in-law Shekar (in [[Kotagiri]], [[Nilgiris district]], [[Tamil Nadu]]) and is searching for a job. While visiting [[Chennai|Madras]], her handbag is stolen and she fears she would lose her academic credentials. Suriya, an orphaned, carefree man who works in [[Jaipur]], [[Rajasthan]], finds the purse and sends it back to her, and a love develops through letters. They agree to love each other without meeting, as she sews and sends a gift pack containing a lotus-embroidered woollen sweater for him to wear when they meet for real. Suriya is soon transferred to Madras and stays with Siva, his new colleague.

Kamali too comes to Madras to find a job and stays with her friend Jensi. Neya, Suriya's new boss, is immediately smitten by him, but her repeated attempts to gain his love and affection fail as he is staunch about his love for Kamali. In the meantime, Suriya and Kamali run into each other without knowing who they really are, resulting in negative perception and misunderstanding. Refusing a job offer which would move her to Singapore, making it difficult for her to find Suriya, Kamali moves back to her hometown in despair.

Unable to withstand the advances of Neya, Suriya quits his job and gets sheltered by his friend Paneer, an [[auto rickshaw]] driver, who arranges for him to drive for a living. Jeeva, a wealthy businessman, expresses his interest in marrying Kamali to Shekar, but Kamali excuses herself from considering her as a prospective bride when she meets Jeeva in private and shares her unflinching love for Suriya, who even allows her to try and locate him one last time. Shekar, who initially dissuades Kamali's love finally gives in and half-heartedly allows her to go to Madras.

Upon arriving in Madras, which is experiencing severe monsoons, Kamali finds out that Jensi and the other hostel mates are not in town. Pinning hopes, she boards Suriya's auto rickshaw, without knowing that it is him, and searches for him desperately. At the end of the day, both of them get refreshed at his place, where he dons the sweater gifted by her, covering it with his uniform. As Kamali plans to head home, depressed, Suriya helps her board the [[Nilgiri Express]]. As the train departs, Suriya removes his shirt after tea spills over it. Kamali notices the sweater, deboards the train, and the pair finally unite, as Paneer and Jensi look on and rejoice.

== Production ==

== Themes and influences ==
Agathiyan has stated that many of the characters are intentionally named to convey their characteristics. [[Thalaivasal Vijay]] was given the name "Paneer" (fragrant) as the director felt the character was "a sweet person who spreads happiness", while [[Heera Rajagopal|Heera]] was named Neya (derived from the Tamil term Neyam) as Agathiyan felt she "deserved a lot of love". He described [[Karan (actor)|Karan]]'s character Siva as "a representation of the quintessential friend in every gang, who loves to be in love, but hates staying in it for too long", contrasting him with Suriya's (Ajith) ideologies on romance.<ref name="cinemaexpress" />

== Soundtrack ==
The music was composed by [[Deva (composer)|Deva]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kadhal Kottai (1996) |url=https://www.raaga.com/tamil/movie/kadhal-kottai-songs-T0000071 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240116104206/https://www.raaga.com/tamil/movie/kadhal-kottai-songs-T0000071 |archive-date=16 January 2024 |access-date=22 December 2021 |website=[[Raaga.com]]}}</ref>

The '''Madras Record Office,''' currently known as '''Tamil Nadu Archives (TNA)''', is located in [[Chennai]] and is one of the oldest and largest document repositories in Southern India. Documents stored and archived in TNA are invaluable to researchers working on post-independence Tamil Nadu or British-era Madras Presidency. In addition to British India records, TNA also houses a substantial collection of Dutch East India Company records from the late-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and volumes relating to various southern Princely States.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dissertationreviews.org/archives/2405|title=Tamil Nadu Archives, Chennai - Dissertation Reviews|website=dissertationreviews.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y-08AAAAIAAJ&q=Madras+Record+Office&pg=PA621|title=The Cambridge History of the British Empire|last1=Benians|first1=Ernest Alfred|last2=Rose|first2=John Holland|last3=Newton|first3=Arthur Percival|date=1929|publisher=CUP Archive|language=en}}</ref>

==History==
===Record keeping in Madras===
In 1672 [[Sir William Langhorne, 1st Baronet|William Langhorne]] the Governor of Madras presidency insisted on keeping records on all government transactions and its preservation for future. These records were initially stored in council room at Fort St. George which is the present day Secretariat-Assembly complex. His successor [[Streynsham Master]] also continued this tradition of record keeping. Due to increasing volume of records storage of records were scattered across various departments. It was in 1805 [[Lord William Bentinck]], then Governor of Madras presidency ordered the centralization of all Secretariat records which were scattered in the various Departments of the Secretariat and appointed a Record Keeper and supporting staff to index, look after and to issue records promptly on requisition from various departments for reference.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/madras-miscellany-keeping-the-records-straight/article7216529.ece|title=Madras Miscellany: Keeping the records straight|last=Muthiah|first=S.|date=2015-05-17|work=The Hindu|access-date=2017-11-30|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Muthiah, the principal native servant in the Political and Military Department, was appointed Record Keeper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tanap.net/content/archives/archives.cfm?ArticleID=202#history|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050211092352/http://www.tanap.net/content/archives/archives.cfm?ArticleID=202#history|url-status=usurped|archive-date=11 February 2005|title=TANAP - archives|website=www.tanap.net|language=EN|access-date=2017-11-30}}</ref>

In 1823 the records were moved into several rooms on the first floor of the Secretariat. Later on, the office was shifted to the "Pillar-godown", and in 1888 it moved to the ground floor of the Secretariat building. Due to the increasing number of records in 1909 the government decided to establish an independent record department.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tanap.net/content/archives/archives.cfm?ArticleID=202#history|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050211092352/http://www.tanap.net/content/archives/archives.cfm?ArticleID=202#history|url-status=usurped|archive-date=11 February 2005|title=TANAP - archives|website=www.tanap.net|language=EN|access-date=2017-11-30}}</ref>

===Construction===
When a new location was being considered for relocating the records office, one of the suggested location was the government bungalow called Grassmere. There was a debate among the officials if Grassmere should be used to house the Medical and Sanitation Department who were also eyeing the same property for its own office. But the sewage farm next door (now the [[Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium]]) had several officials questioning the wisdom of this move. This debate lasted for two years before it was decided that the building was more suited for the archives. P. Loganatha Mudaliar was given the contract to rebuild Grassmere to make it suitable for its new function as the archives. It cost {{INR}}225,000 for the reconstruction of Grassmere to make it suitable for the new Archives building. An additional {{INR}}125,000 was spent on stacks and furniture. This [[Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture|Indo-Saracenic]] building was built with open spaces for future expansion and constructed to provide maximum protection to the records. The construction was completed and opened for operation in October 1909. The administrative block and six record stacks were constructed in 1909. The seventh stack was added in 1929 and the eighth and ninth were added in 1938. Further additions to the building such as the present Stationery section and Preservation Section were made in 1978 and 1994, respectively. In 1999 a new building for housing the Archival Library was constructed.<ref>{{cite web|title=About Tamil Nadu Archives|url=http://www.tnarchives.tn.gov.in/aboutus.html|website=Archives and Historical Research|publisher=Tamil Nadu Archives|access-date=26 November 2017|archive-date=26 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926122355/https://tnarchives.tn.gov.in/aboutus.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Curator of records===
The head of Madras Record Office is designated as curator. Upon its completion C M Schmidt, the Registrar of the Secretariat, was put in temporary charge till Prof Henry Dodwell of Presidency College and [[Saidapet Teachers' College|Teachers’ College]] was appointed the first Curator in April 1911.

== Early life and education ==
Thulasimathi is from [[Kancheepuram]]. She had a deformity in her left hand from birth which restricted her movements and flexion to below 30 per cent.

She was later spotted by coach Irfan, who was instrumental in getting her to Gopichand Academy at Hyderabad with the support of Olympic Gold Quest.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2024-09-02 |title=Paris Paralympics: Shuttler Thulasimathi Murugesan takes silver, vindication for family of modest means |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/badminton/paris-paralympics-thulasimathi-murugesan-silver-family-modest-means-9546699/ |access-date=2024-09-02 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref> She is a student of veterinary science at a college in Namakkal, affiliated with Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chennai.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

== Synopsis ==

Bishu (alias: Bismillah) hails from a Shehnai playing family living below the poverty line in a rural village of Bengal, where, due to the insurgence of Digital Music all over India, Shehnai as an instrument became decadent and a dying art form thereby losing the connect to the root, which is Indian traditional music and art form.

On the contrary, Bishu a bohemian by nature, loves to play the flute. He roams around the village and the outskirts considering himself to be Lord Krishna eternally in search of Radha and Meera. By tradition and culture, flute is not allowed to be played by any Muslim family in the village. But if Bishu doesn't take up Shehnai as his instrument of expression, then he will eventually loose out on being the torch bearer of the Shehnai playing tradition of the family who mainly plays for various cultural and ritualistic ceremonies to make a living. Under the constant persuasion of his father, Bade Ustad, Bismillah takes up Shehnai, under his tutelage. But his heart remains with playing the flute, roaming around over the mountains, down the valleys, near the rivers and the brooks of the village.

Bismillah's main intervention seems to be DJ Shibu, who is the reigning entertainment music provider of the village then. Hence his battle becomes two folded, one where he had to leave flute and take up Shehnai as his main instrument and secondly, cutting through the uptight market of DJ Shibu and making a mark for himself in the society, thereby regaining the lost monastery of the Indian Traditional Music and heritage.

In this quest for survival, Bismillah comes across destiny, love lost and found and lost again. The film Bismillah is a journey of a Musician through the lanes of destiny for re-establishing the novelty of traditional music and instrument against the upsurge of digitization of music, paved by various emotional relationship and eternal quest for love.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ottplay.com/news/indraadip-dasgupta-on-bismillah-like-shehnai-we-are-losing-important-aspects-of-arts-from-our-daily-life-and-we-are-failing-to-understand-this/242956a6a0731|title=Indraadip Dasgupta on Bismillah: Like shehnai, we are losing important aspects of arts from our daily life, and we are failing to understand this|website=OTTPlay}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/bismillah-review-kaushik-ganguly-gaurav-chakrabarty-and-riddhi-sen-shine-bright-in-bengals-very-own-musical/d079904c01277|title=Bismillah review: Kaushik Ganguly, Gaurav Chakrabarty and Riddhi Sen shine bright in Bengal's very own musical|website=OTTPlay}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ottplay.com/news/soham-chakraborty-on-boycott-trend-these-people-have-no-rights/3275730a96271|title=Soham Chakraborty on boycott trend: These people have no rights|website=OTTPlay}}</ref>

The '''Prince Charles Cinema''' (PCC) is a [[repertory cinema]] located in Leicester Place, {{convert|50|yd|m|abbr=off|round=5}} north of [[Leicester Square]] in the [[City of Westminster]]. It shows a rotating programme of cult, arthouse, and classic films alongside recent Hollywood releases – typically more than fifty different films a week on two screens (300 velvet seats downstairs and 104 high back leather seats upstairs). It also regularly hosts a sing-a-long version of ''[[The Sound of Music (film)|The Sound of Music]]'', as well as ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' and ''[[The Room (2003 film)|The Room]]''. The cinema has achieved a cult status amongst fans, and is the only independent cinema in Westminster.

== History ==

=== 20th century ===
Constructed between 1961 and 1962, the building was built by [[Costain Group| Richard Costain Limited]] for Alfred Esdaile and designed by Carl Fisher and Associates.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk/PrinceCharlesTheatreLondon.htm |title=Prince Charles Cinema, Leicester Place, London |author=Matthew Lloyd |website=arthurlloyd.co.uk |access-date=7 September 2013}}</ref> The building, named for then-[[Charles III|Prince Charles]], originally functioned as a theatre with a distinctive 'satellite dish' curve to the floor of the stalls, meaning that audience members are sat at an upwards angle as they face the stage. In 1964 an edition of ''The [[Jack Paar]] Program'' was filmed there with a performance on the stage by [[Judy Garland]].<ref name="TimeOutOral">{{cite web|url=https://www.timeout.com/london/film/an-oral-history-of-prince-charles-cinema|website=[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]|date=29 May 2024|access-date=10 February 2025|title=Midnight marathons, plastic spoons and shagging rabbits: an oral history of Prince Charles Cinema}}</ref>

After a short period supporting the dramatic arts, the venue was reinvented as a kind of soft porn cinema, and began showing European arthouse movies with "a level of nudity that British and American cinema wasn’t ready for".<ref name="TimeOutOral"/> During this period it hosted the UK's longest continuous run of ''[[Emmanuelle]]'', as well as ''[[Caligula (film)|Caligula]]'' (1979).

The UK premiere of [[Just a Gigolo (1978 film)|''Just a Gigolo'']] was held at the Prince Charles Cinema on 14 February 1979, it was attended by [[David Bowie]] who starred in the film.<ref>{{cite book |last=Pegg |first=Nicholas |title=The Complete David Bowie |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LqFkDQAAQBAJ |publisher=[[Titan Books]] |location=London |year=2016 |pages=660–661|isbn=978-1-78565-365-0 |edition=Revised and Updated }}</ref>

By the 1980s it also showed [[Horror film|horror films]], such as ''[[The Evil Dead]]'', and in 1987 it hosted the world premiere of [[Hellraiser|''Hellraiser'']].<ref name="TimeOutOral"/>

The Prince Charles was taken over by Robins Cinemas in April 1991, and it was then that it became largely a [[Revival house|repertory cinema]].<ref name="TimeOutOral"/>

=== 21st century ===

The cinema was used as the setting for a number of stunts in the British sketch show ''[[Trigger Happy TV]]'' in the early 2000s. Filming was facilitated by the cinema having a balcony at the time from which aerial shots could be taken, which was later converted into a second screen in 2008.<ref name="TimeOutOral"/>

During the UK launch of ''[[Kill Bill: Volume 2]]'' (2004), [[Uma Thurman]] recorded a special video introduction for a double bill of both movies being held at the cinema. In it she welcomed the audience to "Quentin's favourite UK cinema". [[Quentin Tarantino]] has said, "The Prince Charles Cinema is everything an independent movie theatre should be. For lovers of quality films, this is Mecca." and "The day ''Kill Bill'' plays the Prince Charles is the day ''Kill Bill'' truly comes home."<ref>{{YouTube|id=U1OZmFurXTI|title=Quentin Tarantino – The Prince Charles is Kill Bill's UK home!}}</ref> He further described it as London's "queen's jewel" of a [[grindhouse]] saying "I was so honoured when ''Reservoir Dogs'' hit so big there that they started playing it at midnight and all the lads would show up in the black suits with little squirt guns".<ref>{{cite news |title=Saint Quentin |author=Duncan Campbell |author-link=Duncan Campbell (The Guardian) |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2003/oct/03/quentintarantino |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |location=London |date=3 October 2003 |access-date=6 September 2013}}</ref>

In April 2007, the cinema opened an official [[Kevin Smith]] toilet cubicle, after the director held a question and answer session at the cinema. He said "I don't know, Quentin Tarantino has never turned up here and they name the bar after him, it's my second visit and they haven't even named a toilet after me!" The next day they screwed a framed picture of him to the first cubicle in the gents and he officially opened the toilet.<ref>{{cite news |title=Cine-files: The Prince Charles Cinema, London |author=James Rawson |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2013/jan/15/cine-files-prince-charles-cinema |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |location=London |date=15 January 2013 |access-date=6 September 2013}}</ref>

As a commitment to promoting environmental causes, the PCC screened the documentary ''[[An Inconvenient Truth]]'' every week of 2007.<ref>{{cite press release |author= |title=The Big Ask Cinema Night: 'An Inconvenient Truth' and question time with Environment Minister |date=23 February 2007 |publisher=[[Friends of the Earth]] |location=London |url=http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/press_releases/the_big_ask_cinema_night_a_23022007.html |access-date=7 September 2013}}</ref> Often the screenings have Q&As with special guests; previous speakers have included [[Tony Juniper]], [[David Miliband]] and [[Menzies Campbell|Sir Menzies Campbell]].

The cinema and surrounding area was featured in the music video to "[[Golden Gaze]]" by [[Ian Brown]]. [[Pete Doherty|Peter Doherty]], lead singer of [[The Libertines]], worked at the cinema for several months in 1999 before being dismissed.<ref>{{cite book |date=2007 |title=The Books of Albion: The Collected Writings of Peter Doherty |publisher=Orion |page=52|isbn=978-0-7528-8242-0}}</ref>

In [[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out Magazine]] in 2021, filmmaker [[Paul Thomas Anderson]] chose the cinema as his favourite in London, going on to say "‘The Prince Charles has a place in my heart. It’s the people, the programming, the accessibility, feeling, texture... you cannot go wrong.

===Threat of closure===

On 28 January 2025, the staff of the PCC launched the #SaveThePCC movement, regarding the PCC's premises' lease. With their current lease expiring in September 2025, the PCC believed that the new lease they had been offered by the building's landlord Zedwell LSQ Ltd was not what they were legally entitled to under Section 26 of the 1954 Landlord and Tenants Act. They stated that Zedwell were demanding to include a break clause into the building's new lease, which would require the PCC to vacate the premises at 6 months notice should Zedwell receive planning permission to redevelop the building, which the PCC interpreted as a "clear intention to do so". Zedwell also want to raise the premises' rent, which the PCC claims would be "at a level which no cinema proprietor would consider reasonable and refusing to supply any information to back this up".<ref>{{cite web|title=Save the Prince Charles Cinema|date=28 January 2025|website=princecharlescinema.com|url=https://princecharlescinema.com/savethepcc/|access-date=28 January 2025}}</ref><ref name=guardian-20250128>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jan/28/prince-charles-cinema-threat-of-closure-london-cult-venue |title=Cult London film venue Prince Charles cinema under threat of closure |last=Pulver |first=Andrew |newspaper=The Guardian |date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025}}</ref>

'''''U Turn''''' is a 2018 Indian [[supernatural thriller]] film written and directed by [[Pawan Kumar (director)|Pawan Kumar]]. The film stars [[Samantha Ruth Prabhu|Samantha]], [[Aadhi Pinisetty]], [[Bhumika Chawla]], and [[Rahul Ravindran]]. Filmed simultaneously in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Telugu language|Telugu]] languages, ''U-Turn'' is a remake of the director's 2016 [[Kannada]] film [[U Turn (2016 film)|of the same name]]. Its plot revolves around the death of motorists who break a traffic rule at a particular [[overpass|flyover]] and subsequent pinning down of the culprit by an intern journalist and police inspector duo.

[[Principal photography]] commenced in February 2018 and ended in June. ''U-Turn'' is a songless film, featuring background score composed by [[Poornachandra Tejaswi (composer)|Poornachandra Tejaswi]] and a promotional song composed by [[Anirudh Ravichander]]. The cinematography was handled by [[Niketh Bommireddy]] and editing by Suresh Arumugam. The films were released on 13 September 2018.

== Plot ==
Rachana, an intern with ''[[The Times of India]]'', is working on an article about incidents occurring on a flyover. She has a crush on crime reporter Aditya and seeks his help to gather information on the accidents. Rachana discovers that each day, some motorists move concrete blocks partitioning the road to make a quick U-turn, causing them to be left haphazardly on the road, leading to numerous accidents. A homeless man on the flyover records the vehicle numbers of those violating this rule and gives the list to Rachana. She uses her contacts in the traffic department to obtain the culprits' details, intending to confront them and write an article. However, her attempt to meet the first person on the list fails.

Later that day, Rachana is arrested and accused of killing the person she intended to meet. She explains her side of the story, but the senior police officer dismisses it. Sub-inspector Pradeep Nayak, however, finds her story plausible and investigates further. It is revealed that everyone on Rachana's list has committed suicide on the same day they took the illegal U-turn. Rachana and Nayak discover another number noted by the homeless man, which is to be given to Rachana the next day. They trace the address and attempt to rescue the man, a lawyer, who took the U-turn that day. Finding nothing suspicious, they leave, only to witness the lawyer's suicide as he jumps off his balcony and lands on their car.

Rachana tries to confront the homeless man about the injuries on the flyover. She also reports two young men violating the U-turn to Nayak, who initially dismisses the idea that they would die. To protect them, Nayak locks them in an old police lock-up and monitors them via CCTV. One of the men, seemingly possessed, fights the other, leading to his death, and then shoots himself. Meanwhile, Senior Inspector Chandrashekhar suspends Nayak due to the deaths in police custody. Aditya provides Rachana with an article about the incidents on the flyover.

Rachana interviews Ritesh, who recounts the tragic deaths of his wife Maya and daughter Arna in an accident on the flyover caused by the moved concrete blocks. He urges Rachana to find the person responsible for their deaths.

Desperate to uncover the truth, Rachana takes the illegal U-turn herself and waits for something to happen. She dreams of Maya and Arna, who accuse her of being responsible for their deaths. Maya, using supernatural powers, tries to kill Rachana, who promises to find the real culprit. Awakening, Rachana goes to Nayak's home, where she finds photos of the deceased U-turn violators. With Nayak's help, she identifies the person who moved the blocks on the day of Maya's accident.

Rachana writes the culprit's phone number and address on a balloon and leaves it on the flyover for Maya to find. She discovers that the phone number belongs to Aditya's brother, who had moved to the US, leaving Aditya using his bike. Rachana confronts Aditya, accusing him of causing the deaths. Aditya explains that he had exchanged bikes with a friend, absolving him of direct responsibility.

In a final twist, it is revealed that Ritesh was the one who moved the block, causing the accident. Maya's ghost is waiting in Aditya's house to kill him when Ritesh arrives, having been informed by Rachana. They save Aditya, and Ritesh confesses to Maya and Arna's ghosts that their deaths were his fault. He attempts to commit suicide, but Maya's ghost intervenes, telling him his punishment is to live in this world without them.

==Plot==
Muniyandi is a third-year undergraduate zoology student and the son of Muthumani, who happens to be the student canteen contractor of the same college. He meets Madhumitha, the demure young daughter of a local bigwig named Ramaiyya, who gives first priority only to the members of his caste. Madhu makes a coquettish play for all of Muni's friends including Sorimuthu Ayyanar, a part-time witch doctor who is also the peon of the college, dressed complete with bells and saffron cloth regalia, but hits it off with him first. Following a heated skirmish in the caste-dominated college elections, the two of them fall in love. Unfortunately, everything goes topsy-turvy when, once Madhu's marriage is arranged, she turns around and says that she was never in love with Muni in the first place. Furious, Muni thrashes her with his slippers and sets fire to her father's coconut grove. Though she never reveals to this incident to anyone, Muni, on the other hand, discovers the secret behind his brother's death. Muni's brother was killed when he tries to help his friend who is in love with a girl of the other caste. Muni participates in college elections to go against Madhu's words. On the day of the nomination, Muni realises that Madhu loves him truly, but she had reverted from her feelings due to the request from his father to save his life. Muni convinces college students from conducting the election in college and puts a stop caste game in college. Ramaiyya and the other caste head were supposed to be killed by Raju (Muni's brother's friend and the old girl's lover), which Muni thwarts. Finally, Muni, with his father's acceptance, returns to Madhu (who was waiting for him near the temple) and unites with her.

The execution of a victim (generally an animal), who was tied at the yūpa, was meant to bring prosperity to everyone.<ref name="YB"/><ref name="PCS"/>

Most yūpa, and all from the Vedic period, were in wood, and have not survived. The few stone survivals seem to be a later type of memorial using the form of the wooden originals. The Isapur Yupa, the most complete, replicates in stone the rope used to tether the animal. The topmost section is missing; texts describe a "wheel-like headpiece made of perishable material", representing the sun, but the appearance of that is rather unclear from the [[Gupta period]] coins that are the best other visual evidence.<ref>Irwin, John, "The Heliodorus Pillar: A Fresh Appraisal", p. 8, AARP, ''Art and Archaeology Research Papers'', December, 1974, [https://archive.org/details/aarp-the-heliodorus-pillar-a-fresh-appraisal/page/n13/mode/1up Internet archive], (also published in ''Purātattva'', 8, 1975-1976, pp. 166-178)</ref>

==Yūpa inscription in Indonesia==
{{main|:id: Prasasti Yupa}}
The oldest known Sanskrit inscriptions in the [[Nusantara (archipelago)|Nusantara]] are those on seven stone pillars, or ''Yūpa'' ("sacrificial posts"), found in the eastern part of [[Borneo]], in the historical area of [[Kutai]], [[East Kalimantan]] province.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kulke |first=Hermann |title=A History of India |year=1998 |page=145| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V0GEtXp-GsUC}}</ref> They were written by [[Brahmins]] using the early [[Pallava script]], in the [[Sanskrit]] language, to commemorate sacrifices held by a generous mighty king called [[Mulavarman]] who ruled the [[Kutai#Kingdom of Kutai Martadipura|Kutai Martadipura Kingdom]], the first Hindu kingdom in present [[Indonesia]]. Based on palaeographical grounds, they have been dated to the second half of the 4th century CE. They attest to the emergence of an [[Greater India|Indianized state]] in the Indonesian archipelago prior to 400 CE.<ref name="SS"/>

In addition to [[Mulavarman]], the reigning king, the inscriptions mention the names of his father [[Aswawarman]] and his grandfather [[Kudungga]] (the founder of the Kutai Martadipura Kingdom). Aswawarman is the first of the line to bear a [[Sanskrit]] name in the Yupa which indicates that he was probably the first to adhere to Hinduism.<ref name="SS">S. Supomo, "Chapter 15.

It is believed that his murder might be linked with a possible dispute between him and the club members ever since he took charge as President of Major League Kabaddi Federation. However, few others believe he was murdered by a drug mafia in order to silence and prevent him from keeping the sport clean from drugs or could be dispute with any gangsters group<ref name=":1" />

==Early life==
Vadiraj was born in [[Bagalkot]], Karnataka to a [[Madhwa Brahmin]], to Vidyaratna Shri Raghavendracharya, S. Panchamukhi and Kamalabai R. Panchamukhi. He is the sixth child after five sisters.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}}

His father was a renowned epigraphist, archaeologist and Indologist, who dedicated his life to historical research and Indological studies. He was a pioneer in ''Daasa Sahitya'' research. His mother built a value system based on the heritage of ''daasara padagalu''. Vadiraj had his early education in Sanskrit and philosophy under the tutelage of his father.

He stood 1st class 1st rank in [[Karnataka University]] studying mathematics and statistics in 1956. He was the first to achieve 82.5%. He also achieved 1st rank in [[Bombay University]] doing his master's degree in statistics with [[econometrics]] in 1958, for which he was awarded the Chancellor's Gold Medal. He completed his Ph.D. in [[Delhi School of Economics]] in 1963 with his thesis on 'Applications of Game Theory to Economic Policy and Planning with Illustrations from International Trade and Investments.'

==Career==
He has made significant contributions in [[economics]] and [[Sanskrit]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Most widely held works by V. R Panchamukhi|url=https://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n79141947/|publisher=[[WorldCat]]}}</ref>

===Economics===
Panchamukhi contributed to the field of economics in multiple ways. His work on the applications of [[game theory]] to [[Commercial policy|International Trade Policy]] analysis was noted as a pioneering work by [[Jagdish Bhagwati]] in his Survey of Literature published in the Economic Journal of [[London School of Economics]] (1975). His work on 'Effective Rates of Protection and Domestic Resource Cost', prepared and published jointly with Bhagwati and [[T. N. Srinivasan]], made a significant impact on the trade policy regimes of the 1960s and 1970s.

He worked on development models and resource gaps for the countries of the [[United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific]] (ESCAP) region that were presented under the leadership of [[Nobel Laureate]] [[Jan Tinbergen]] while he was a staff member of the ESCAP (then ECAFE). This became the basis for Resource Transfer for Development in the ESCAP region in the 1970s. He delivered a lecture at the Special Session of the ESCAP (held in Shanghai, China) on 'Theme of Strategy for Least Developed Countries.' This was used for many resolutions at the ESCAP Special Session.

He was invited to work at the [[South Centre (organization)]], Geneva, by [[Julius Nyerere]], the former President of Tanzania, and the then Chairman of the group. His analytical paper on the proposed [[Multilateral Agreement on Investment]] was utilized for negotiations at the [[WTO]] Ministerial Meetings (Singapore) in the 1990s.

He developed the "Research Information System (RIS)" for the Non-Aligned and other Developing Countries (an autonomous body established by the [[Ministry of External Affairs (India)]] in 1984) into an important 'think tank' of the developing world. It provided analytical inputs on international economic topics such as WTO, regional cooperation, investment flows and many others.

He was the Member Secretary of the "P. C. Alexander Committee on Import–Export Policies and Procedures" in 1977 that made path-breaking contributions to the process of liberalization of the trade policy regime in India.

The elections to the [[13th Nagaland Assembly|13th Nagaland State Legislative Assembly]] was held on 27th February 2018 in 59 out of its 60 constituencies, with one member elected unopposed. The counting of votes took place on 3rd March 2018. The incumbent [[Naga People's Front]] (NPF) lost the elections, while Chief minister [[T. R. Zeliang]] retained his seat. Former NPF leader, [[Neiphiu Rio]] joined the [[Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party]] (NDPP) before the elections. Subsequently, with two-thirds majority in the assembly, the NDPP-[[Bharatiya Janata Party]] alliance formed the government with Rio as the new Chief Minister of Nagaland.

=== Member of Parliament ===
Jamir was nominated as the first [[Lok Sabha|Lok Sabha Member]] from the state of [[Nagaland]] in year 1961.<ref name="Jamir Reference2" /> From 1961 to 1970, he has served as [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Member of Parliament]] and during this period he has also served as the Union Deputy Minister of Railways, Labour & Rehabilitation, from 1968 to 1970, served as the Union Deputy Minister of Community Development & Cooperation, Food and Agriculture.<ref name="Jamir Reference2" /> He was appointed the [[Parliamentary Secretary]] to [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], then [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] who was also in charge of the [[Ministry of External Affairs (India)|Ministry of External Affairs]].<ref name="Jamir Reference2">{{cite news |title=SC Jamir sworn in as Odisha governor |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/sc-jamir-sworn-in-as-odisha-governor/story-oPH0MKlKCEaA3eBsrU6LAO.html |access-date=26 February 2021 |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=21 March 2013 |language=en}}</ref> He was a member of [[UN]] delegation in 1962.

Having won the previous terms as Member of Parliament uncontested, Jamir faced the electorate in the [[1971 Indian general election]] pitted against [[Kevichüsa Angami]] from the newly formed United Front of Nagaland. Jamir was nominated as the candidate of the Naga Nationalist Organisation.

=== Nagaland State Legislature ===
In October 1972, Jamir was arrested along with former Nagaland Chief Minister [[T. N. Angami]], and others on the charges of complicity in the assassination attempt on [[Hokishe Sema]] in August.<ref>{{Cite news|last=The Times of India News Service|date=13 October 1972|title=3 ex-ministers arrested|page=1|work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> The incumbent Chief Minister [[Hokishe Sema]] refused to set up an enquiry committee to investigate the details that led to the arrest. Jamir along with others were released when the police could not find sufficient evidence to press charges. Jamir alleged that the confessional statement that led to his arrest was "prepared" by some interested officials "to meet their selfish end."<ref>{{Cite news|last=UNI|date=29 November 1972|title=Sema rejects plea for probe into arrest of MLAs|page=6|work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref>

Jamir served as [[Chief Minister of Nagaland]] five times (1980, 1982–1986, 1989–90 and 1993–2003).<ref name="Jamir Reference1">{{cite news |title=Prominent Cong leader from Nagaland SC Jamir gets Padma Bhushan |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/prominent-cong-leader-from-nagaland-sc-jamir-gets-padma-bhushan-120012600517_1.html |access-date=26 February 2021 |publisher=Business Standard India |date=26 January 2020}}</ref> For his first two terms he was a member of the Progressive United Democratic Front, but by 1989 his party had merged with the [[Indian National Congress]].

During the [[1991 Indian general election]], Jamir directly blamed the incumbent Nagaland Chief Minister [[Vamüzo Phesao]] for the ban imposed on [[National Socialist Council of Nagaland]] (NSCN), suggesting that it could not have been promulgated without the consultation of the state government. The central government headed by [[Vishwanath Pratap Singh]] had outlawed the NSCN along with [[United Liberation Front of Asom]] on 28 November 1990. Vamüzo denied that he was ever consulted on the matter. On another occasion, Jamir reteriated that the Naga political problem needed all sections of the Naga people to come together for a durable solution. "No solution was possible through a piecemeal approach," he added.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Munshi|first=Debashish|date=2 May 1991|title=Parties focus on NSCN ban|page=12|work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref>

In 1997, during an interview to Nirmaiya Banerjee of the Times of India, Jamir asserted that peace talks with Naga underground groups would be successful only if the Central Government negotiates with all groups. He said,<blockquote>Those who understand the reality of the situation in Nagaland will understand that [only] talking to the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland will not help. All groups must be invited.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|last=Banerjee|first=Nirmaiya|date=28 November 1997|title=Centre must call all factions for peace talks, says Jamir|page=12|work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref></blockquote>In his opinion, all Naga tribes residing in Nagaland must have a say irrespective of their population. Discussions between different sections of the Naga society should be encouraged.<ref name=":3"/>

Students from the Tangkhul Naga community were singled out for special attention. At a press conference, representatives from the [[Naga People's Movement for Human Rights]] (NPMHR) and the People's Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) alleged that the police were harassing students, ordering them to report at the police station, detaining them, searching their rooms, and confiscating their belonging. Hence, some of the students had returned home while the landlords of others were asking them to leave.<ref>{{Cite news |last=The Times of India News Service |date=24 December 1992 |title=North-East students allegedly harassed |work=[[The Times of India]] |page=10}}</ref>

== Nagaland lottery scam ==
During his tenure as Chief Minister, The [[Comptroller and Auditor General of India|Comptroller and Auditor General]] (CAG) unearthed a major financial scandal in the Nagaland state lottery amounting to ₹38,297 crore. The entire scam took place between October 1993 and November 1997. Jamir denied his government's involvement in the financial scandal but the special audit by the [[Comptroller and Auditor General of India|Comptroller and Auditor General]] (CAG), ordered by the [[Union Home Ministry]], indicted both the Nagaland Government and the state's sole distributor of tickets, M.S Associates, for defrauding the public as well as the exchequer of the amount in July 1999.<ref>{{cite news |title=Rs 38 crore lottery scam unearthed in Nagaland |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/news-archive/rs-38-crore-lottery-scam-unearthed-in-nagaland/ |access-date=10 October 2023 |work=The Indian Express |agency=UNI |date=25 July 1999}} The CAG report was authored by State AG who incidentally was brother of the Commander in chief of the then outlawed insurgent outfit NSCN (IM). Since the time the matter was raised during 2003, the State has been ruled by the regional govt. supported by NSCN (IM). The report estimated 800 Crore odd monthly as State income defrauded by the then government. There is no trace of similar income accruing to State government during the rule of subsequent govt, not even 1% of the amount allegedly defrauded. The whole allegation was thus unfounded and politically motivated.</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Suri |first1=Ajay |title=CAG indicts Nagaland Govt in lottery scam |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/news-archive/cag-indicts-nagaland-govt-in-lottery-scam/ |access-date=10 October 2023 |work=The Indian Express |date=24 June 1999 |language=en}}</ref> This case continues to be pending in the court till date.

'''Ayatollah Agha Syed Ahmed Rizvi Kashmiri''' , ([[Urdu]]: {{nq|آیت اللہ آقا سید احمد رضوی کشمیری}}; {{Circa|1901|1964}}) was a [[Shia Islam|Shia Islamic]] jurist and scholar known for his religious teachings in [[Srinagar]], [[Kashmir]], on the [[Indian subcontinent]].

== Early life & genealogy ==
His father, Aqa Syed Hussain Rizvi (d. 1942), and his uncle, Aqa Syed Hassan (d. 1928), were religious preachers who contributed to the development of religious gatherings in the region. Genealogical information recorded in secondary sources traces his lineage through multiple generations to [[Ali al-Rida|Imam al‑Ridha]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Dr. Ashraf Kashmiri |title=Author Archive – Page 2 |url=https://drashrafkashmiri.data.blog/author/drashrafkashmiri/page/2 |website=Dr Ashraf Kashmiri Blog |access-date=2025-07-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=The Ayatollah and his impact on Iran-e-Sagheer – Part V |url=https://freepresskashmir.news/2019/06/17/the-ayatollah-and-his-impact-on-iran-e-sagheer-part-v/ |work=Free Press Kashmir |date=2019-06-17 |access-date=2025-07-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Grave of Ayatollah Syed Ahmed Rizvi al-Kashmiri |url=https://wanderlog.com/place/details/12412322/grave-of-ayatollah-syed-ahmed-rizvi-al-kashmiri |website=Wanderlog |access-date=2025-07-19}}</ref>

== Education ==
Syed Ahmed Rizvi received his early education at home, primarily under the guidance of his father. He later traveled to [[Lucknow]], [[India]], where he studied with religious scholars for three years. Following this, he continued his studies in [[Najaf]], Iraq, a prominent center of [[Shia Islam|Shia]] Islamic scholarship. Over a period of more than two decades, he studied in religious seminaries under several notable scholars and jurists. Among those whose lectures he attended were [[Grand Ayatollah]] [[Muhammad Hussain Naini|Mohammad Hussain Na'ini]], [[Abu l-Hasan al-Isfahani|Abul Hassan Isfahani]], Syed Hussain Qommi, and Aqa Zia-ud-Din Iraqi. He ultimately attained the qualification of [[Ijtihad]].
{{Citation Needed|date=March 2025}}

He also studied under jurists and scholars in [[Iran]], [[Iraq]], [[Syria]], and [[Palestine]], while pursuing the spiritual dimensions of Islam. His contemporaries included [[Grand Ayatollah]] [[Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei|Abul al-Qasim al-Khoei]], [[Grand Ayatollah]] [[Mir Asadollah Madani|Asadullah Madani]], [[Grand Ayatollah]] Murtazha al-Khalkhali, [[Grand Ayatollah]] [[Ali Naqi Naqvi|Syed Ali Naqvi (Molvi Naqqan)]], [[Allameh Tabatabaei|Allameh Tabataba'i]], and [[Ayatollah]] Syed Abdul Karim Rizvi Kashmiri. His spiritual education was guided by [[Ali Tabatabaei]],<ref>[[:fa:سید علی قاضی|سید علی قاضی - ویکی‌پدیا]]{{Circular reference|date=October 2015}}</ref> a prominent figure in Shi'a [[Irfan|gnosticism]]. He also studied under [[Ayatollah]] Muhammad Hussein Kampani for several years.

After returning to [[Kashmir]], [[Ayatollah]] Syed Ahmed Rizvi focused on the dissemination of Islamic teachings and the promotion of practical Islamic education. He established a [[seminary]], Madarsa Mohammadia,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hawzah.net/fa/magart.html?MagazineID=5658&MagazineNumberID=6890&MagazineArticleID=82936 |title=شیعیان کشمیر/در گفت وگو با آقای سیدقلبی حسین رضوی |publisher=Hawzah.net}}</ref> in [[Srinagar]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu & Kashmir]]. He regularly delivered lectures on jurisprudential topics every Thursday night and Friday morning at his residence. [[Sheikh Abdullah|Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah]], the then Prime Minister of [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]], was reportedly influenced by Rizvi's teachings.{{Citation needed|date=July 2025}}

== supernatural powers ==
Several supernatural experiences have been attributed to Syed Ahmed Rizvi. These narratives are primarily circulated among his followers and within local religious communities, contributing to his spiritual reputation in parts of [[Kashmir]].

One such account involves a government official, Ghulam Hussein Makhmoor, who is said to have written to Rizvi seeking religious guidance. Due to transportation and postal delays at the time, a response was not expected for several days. However, according to the story, a reply was reportedly found at Makhmoor’s bedside the same evening, with no indication of physical delivery.{{Citation needed|date=July 2025}}

In another widely circulated account, during surgery at a hospital in [[Srinagar]], doctors were reportedly surprised by the condition of Rizvi’s internal organs. They are said to have observed damage that, in their view, should have been fatal years earlier. Following this, medical professionals allegedly visited him on multiple occasions for further examination.<ref name=":0" />

Such narratives are common within the hagiographic traditions associated with Islamic scholars, but they are not supported by independent historical or medical documentation.

== Death ==
Syed Ahmed Rizvi died on Thursday, the 28th of [[Safar]], 1384 [[Islamic calendar|Hijri]] (9 July 1964), at his residence in [[Srinagar]]. His death occurred following the conclusion of a congregational gathering held to commemorate the passing of the Prophet [[Muhammad]] and the martyrdom of the second [[Shia Islam|Shi'a]] Imam, [[Hasan ibn Ali|Imam Hasan]], the son of [[Ali|Imam Ali]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2018-01-12 |title=Syed Ahmed Rizvi Kashmiri – Shafaqna English {{!}} International Shia News & Fatwas |url=https://en.shafaqna.com/58118/syed-ahmed-rizvi-kashmiri/ |access-date=2025-09-12 |language=en-US}}</ref>

'''Saint Francis Assisi''' is a Catholic church in the village of [[Tallur]]. Originally built in 1934, it was renovated during Fr. Sunil Veigas's service tenure into a star-shaped structure and re-inaugurated in May 2016.

== History ==
Before 1929 there were no churches for local Catholics so the congregants from and around Tallur village thronged the Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Later Rev Fr. Peter Remegias D’Souza in 1928 purchased land in Tallur and simultaneously constructed a small hut. There was a plea from the congregants to set up a separate church at Tallur.<ref name=times>{{cite news|title=Udupi bishop inaugurates star-shaped church at Tallur|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/Udupi-bishop-inaugurates-star-shaped-church-at-Tallur/articleshow/52247705.cms|accessdate=1 September 2016|publisher=[[Times of India]]|date=13 May 2013}}</ref> After this demand was approved in the parish-level meeting, the church was built in 1934,<ref>{{cite news|title=Kundapur: Foundation Stone Laid for New Church of St Francis Assisi at Tallur|url=http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=153178|accessdate=1 September 2016|publisher=[[Daijiworld Media]]|date=21 October 2012}}</ref> and got its first-ever priest by the name of Fr. Edward Lobo.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}

== Architect ==
The foundation stone for the proposed new building was laid on 20 October 2012. ‘Shilpi’ architects based in [[Kerala]] designed the church building. Sandeep Almeida from the town began to serve as the engineer. From outside this building looks like a star. The church has entrances from three sides through similar doors. The windows have been placed in such a way that they allow abundant light and air to enter the building. The building is 143 feet wide and 113 feet high with a total area of 10,800 square feet. A spacious [[altar]] has been erected. The whole church has a single fan. Glass is used in 40 per cent of the building. Modern monitor tiles have also been used. Glass has also been used for the outer walls. The flooring is made of granite slabs.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}
