He has a brother and four sisters. Palaniappan was an assistant of orator/writer [[Kundrakudi Adigal]] and follower of poet [[Bharathidasan]].&lt;ref name=&quot;kalki&quot; /&gt; When Palaniappan moved to Madras (now Chennai) with his family in search of work, he got a job in the government newspaper ''Tamil Arasu''. As a result, Bharathi studied and grew in Chennai. He initially studied at a municipal school, and later at Ganapathi Higher Secondary School till the twelfth grade. Aspiring to become a film editor, he tried joining the [[M.G.R. Government Film and Television Training Institute]], to no avail.&lt;ref name=&quot;kungumam&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |date=12 June 2020 |title=நான்... பழநிபாரதி |url=http://www.kungumam.co.in/Articalinnerdetail.aspx?id=16923&amp;id1=9&amp;issue=20200612 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220706045330/http://www.kungumam.co.in/Articalinnerdetail.aspx?id=16923&amp;id1=9&amp;issue=20200612 |archive-date=6 July 2022 |access-date=6 July 2022 |website=[[Kungumam (magazine)|Kungumam]] |language=ta}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;kalki&quot;&gt;{{Cite magazine |date=21 February 1999 |title=ஜெயித்த கதை! |url=https://archive.org/download/kalki1999-02-21/kalki1999-02-21.pdf |access-date=8 June 2023 |magazine=[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]] |pages=13–20 |language=ta |via=[[Internet Archive]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Career ==<br /> Bharathi began his career by editing articles, mainly correcting factual errors, in publications including ''Neerottam'' and ''Porval''. He later got a job in the Tamil Nadu Textbook Corporation, of checking and recording the account of volumes of books transported in vehicles from the book warehouse, with his salary being {{INRConvert|10|year=1991}} per day. Bharathi was not very interested in that job, which did not last for more than a month.&lt;ref name=&quot;kungumam&quot; /&gt; Unlike his father, Bharathi liked listening to [[filmi]] songs, and aspired to become a film lyricist. He was eventually introduced to director [[Vikraman]], and wrote a song for the film ''[[Perum Pulli]]'' (1991) which did not appear onscreen.&lt;ref name=&quot;kalki&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;trend&quot;&gt;{{Cite news |last=Saravanan |first=T. |date=20 October 2017 |title=In tune with the trend |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/lyricist-palanibharathi-traces-his-journey-in-films-and-his-tryst-with-the-world-of-poetry/article19888895.ece |url-status=live |access-date=31 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201114053549/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/lyricist-palanibharathi-traces-his-journey-in-films-and-his-tryst-with-the-world-of-poetry/article19888895.ece |archive-date=14 November 2020}}&lt;/ref&gt; Bharathi later wrote some songs for ''[[Annai Vayal]]'' (1992); though the film was unsuccessful, the songs were well received and he received more offers. He achieved significant success writing all the songs for ''[[Ullathai Allitha]]'' (1996), and the 1995–1997 period is considered his &quot;golden years&quot;, during which he wrote for over 100 films.&lt;ref name=&quot;trend&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Style ==<br /> Bharathi prefers to write in simple, understandable language, taking inspiration from [[Kannadasan]] and [[Vaali (poet)|Vaali]]. He explained, &quot;Any literary piece is worth only if it reaches the audience and I keep it very simple. I don't believe in being verbose&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;trend&quot; /&gt; He also said, &quot;A song is no longer listened to for its meaning, it is mostly bought for the sake of rhythm and beat.

After the [[List of amendments of the Constitution of India|69th Constitutional (Amendment) Act of 1991]] came into force, Delhi was formally renamed as the [[National Capital Territory of Delhi]] or NCT of Delhi.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=About Us {{!}} Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi |url=https://delhi.gov.in/page/about-us |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250504002559/https://delhi.gov.in/page/about-us |archive-date=2025-05-04 |access-date=2025-10-13 |website=delhi.gov.in}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> During the 1970s, Delhi had only four administrative districts i.e. [[North Delhi district|North]], [[South Delhi district|South]], [[Central Delhi district|Central]] and [[New Delhi district|New Delhi]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=General Information, Government of Delhi |url=http://dccentral.delhigovt.nic.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_northwest/North+West+District/Home/General+Information |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928200645/http://dccentral.delhigovt.nic.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_northwest/North+West+District/Home/General+Information |archive-date=2022-09-28}}&lt;/ref&gt; Between January 1997 and September 2012, there were nine administrative districts and 27 sub-divisions.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;{{Cite news |date=2012-07-17 |title=For speedy justice, Delhi to be divided into 11 districts |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/for-speedy-justice-delhi-to-be-divided-into-11-districts/articleshow/15010736.cms?from=mdr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241127121223/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/for-speedy-justice-delhi-to-be-divided-into-11-districts/articleshow/15010736.cms |archive-date=2024-11-27 |access-date=2023-05-08 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}&lt;/ref&gt; In September 2012, two new administrative districts, viz.

The screenplay and dialogues were written by Raj Chakraborty and [[N. K. Salil]].<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> Abir joins college and comes across Pooja, the daughter of a ruthless businessman. Her father is strict and conservative in taking care of Pooja and does not tolerate if anyone, directly or indirectly, disturbs or approaches Pooja. Abir is bullied by a bunch of students and he pays them back in return by beating them all up. He also confronts her father's henchmen and makes them apologize when they misbehave with him before his fight with the students. Pooja is highly impressed on seeing this and she falls in love with him. He reciprocates and the two start dating. Pooja's father finds out about their relationship and opposes it. The rest of the story is how Abir and Pooja unite after a series of problems.<br /> It is revealed in the flashback that one of the classmates of Abir had spoken to Pooja which was seen by Kartik da, one of her father's henchmen. As a punishment, Kartik da had destroyed both of his eyes citing that even looking at Agnideb Sen's daughter is a crime. When Abir comes to know about this, he captures Kartik da in disguise and forcefully makes him donate his eyes to the classmate. Agnideb is furious at this and orders his henchmen to destroy Abir's house and threaten his parents of consequences if he is seen with Pooja again. Abir's father, who was always displeased with his son's casual nature, now supports him and tells that if he truly loves Pooja, he should go for her and don't worry about consequences. Agnideb leaves Pooja at his father-in-law's place but refuses to go himself as it is revealed he eloped and married Pooja's mom causing her father to pledge that he'd kill Agnideb if he sees him again. Abir manages to reach the place and convince Pooja's grandfather regarding the matter. Agnideb tries to cut off the marriage however, he is caught in many hilarious situations. When he reaches home, he finds that the marriage is on however, Abir approaches and tells him that he is his future father-in-law and that without his blessings, the marriage will not commence. Finally it is revealed that the mastermind behind Abir was Kartik da who used to pretend as if he is blind and take information from Agnideb about Pooja's whereabouts and report it to Abir. Kartik da tells that he got his eyes back from the same classmate's father who had died and Abir himself arranged for the eyes to be donated to him. This made Kartik da realise the importance of eyes and feels sorry for what he had done earlier. He teams up with Abir and tells him that he'd do anything to pay for the sins he committed. Agnideb finally realises his mistake and happily accepts Abir as his son-in-law and is seen playing with his grandson after the credits roll.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> {{Cast listing|* [[Dev (Bengali actor)|Dev]] as Abir Ganguly <br /> * [[Subhashree Ganguly]] as Pooja Sen<br /> * [[Rajatava Dutta]] as Agnideb Sen, Pooja's Father, an industrialist and a local don<br /> * Tulika Basu as Chandra Sen, Pooja's Mother<br /> * [[Biswajit Chakraborty]] as Samir Ganguly, Abir's Father<br /> * [[Laboni Sarkar]] as Purnima Ganguly, Abir's Mother<br /> * [[Kharaj Mukherjee]] as Gouranga 'Gour' Chatterjee, the Principal of the college<br /> * Partha Sarathi Chakraborty as Gopal, Abir's friend<br /> * [[Supriyo Dutta]] as Kartik Da, Agnideb's henchman<br /> * [[Prasun Gain]] as Poncha, Kartik's assistant<br /> * Pradip Dhar as Bhoja, Kartik's assistant<br /> * Abhimanyu Mukherjee as Ranjan, Abir and Pooja's classmate<br /> * Tamal Roy Chowdhury as Pooja's maternal grandfather<br /> * Debranjan Nag as Bhajahari, the Postman of the college and Gour's friend<br /> ''' Special appearance '''<br /> *[[Raj Chakraborty]] as himself}}<br /> == Production ==<br /> <br /> === Pre-production ===<br /> After the success of [[Chirodini Tumi Je Amar|''Chirodini ...Tumi Je Amar'']] (2008), [[Raj Chakraborty]] became a leading director in the industry.

[[Sajid Nadiadwala]] is developing the Hindi remake named ''Pilfer Singh'' with Reddy as director and [[Kartik Aaryan]] and [[Amyra Dastur]] as leads.<br /> <br /> == Plot ==<br /> Raju is a [[kleptomania]]c, i.e., he impulsively steals, which his father Narayana discovers in childhood. He takes him to Dr. Saima, who has pledged to cure it by inventing a new medicine, but in vain. Due to the disorder, Raju fails to have a girlfriend. However, his quest ends with the beautiful Tanvi, who covers his problem with various funny reasons. Narayana proceeds with the bridal connections when Tanvi's parents stipulate for her grandfather Suryanarayana's approval, and they all walk on.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Suryanarayana is top-tier in the village, hates thieves, and punishes them by chopping off their hands. Frightened by it, Raju forges Narayana as a victim of kleptomania. Parallelly, a terrorist gang is in Raju's hunt since he left Raju their bomb, which was to explode for a contract of 100 crores. Upon more, Anji, Suryanarayana's past servant who has been ostracized for stealing temple jewelry, returns after 25 years as a tycoon to seek vengeance. Thus, he ruses &amp; re-conducts theft and incriminates Suryanarayana.<br /> <br /> Whereat, Raju takes the blame to shield his honor by admitting his infirmity when he faces the music and receives Tanvi's loathing. Eventually, Anji shakes hands with the terrorists and provides the bomb in Raju's towel. Hereupon, Raju captures the heels, unveiling Anji to be a miscreant, when he steals the triggering device from the terrorists, which activates, and the gang blasts out. At last, Tanvi &amp; her family realize Raju's virtue and pleads pardon. Finally, the movie ends happily with the post-credits; Raju again steals the wedding chain at the time of his marriage.<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> {{colbegin}}<br /> *[[Raj Tarun]] as Raju<br /> *[[Amyra Dastur]] as Tanvi <br /> *[[Pujita Ponnada]] as Vennela<br /> *[[Rajendra Prasad (actor)|Rajendra Prasad]] as Narayana, Raju's father<br /> *[[Sithara (actress)|Sithara]] as Seeta, Raju's mother<br /> *[[Shiju]] as Tanvi's father<br /> *Pramodini Pammi as Tanvi's mother<br /> *[[Nagineedu]] as Suryanarayana, Tanvi's grandfather<br /> *[[Rao Ramesh]] as Anji<br /> *[[Subbaraju]] as Gopi<br /> *[[Prudhvi Raj (Telugu actor)|Prudhvi Raj]] as Dr. Saima<br /> *[[Raja Ravindra]] as Lingaraju<br /> *[[Praveen (actor)|Praveen]] as Raju's friend<br /> *[[Krishna Bhagavan]] as Gopi's assistant<br /> *[[Raghu Karumanchi]]<br /> *[[Khayyum]]<br /> *[[Fish Venkat]]<br /> *[[Shakalaka Shankar]] <br /> {{colend}}<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> {{Infobox album<br /> | name = Raju Gadu<br /> | type = film<br /> | artist = [[Gopi Sundar]]<br /> | cover =<br /> | alt =<br /> | released = 2017<br /> | recorded =<br /> | venue =<br /> | studio =<br /> | genre = Soundtrack<br /> | length = 16:53<br /> | label = [[Aditya Music]]<br /> | producer = [[Gopi Sundar]]<br /> | prev_title =<br /> | prev_year =<br /> | next_title =<br /> | next_year =<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Music composed by [[Gopi Sundar]].

The valley as such is delimited by [[Ladakh]] in the north, [[Lahaul]] and [[Kullu district]]s in the west and south-east respectively, and by Tibet and the [[Kinnaur district]] in the east. While Tabo village is in a bowl-shaped flat valley, the monastery is also in the bottom of the valley, unlike other monasteries in the valley, which are perched on hills; in the past the region was part of Tibet.

Tabo Monastery.]]<br /> The monastery was built by the Buddhist king (also known as Royal Lama) [[Yeshe-Ö]] in 996 A.D. It was renovated 46 years later by the royal priest [[Jangchub O'd]], the grandnephew of Yeshe-Ö. They were kings of the [[Purang-Guge kingdom]] whose ancestry is traced to the ancient [[Tibetan Empire|Tibetan monarchy]], and extended their kingdom from [[Ladakh]] to [[Mustang District|Mustang]] by building a large network of trade routes, and built temples along the route. Tabo was built as a 'daughter' monastery of the Tholing Monastery in [[Ngari Prefecture|Ngari]], western Tibet. This royal dynasty was instrumental in re-introducing the [[Mahayana|Indian Mahayana Buddhism]] in Tibet, the second major spreading of Buddhism in [[History of Tibet|Tibetan history]]. They contributed richly to the political, religious and economic institutions of Tibet in the 11th century through the building of Tabo Monastery; this is documented in the writing on the walls of Tabo.<br /> <br /> The iconographic depictions are reported to be of 1042 and later, consisting of paintings, sculptures, inscriptions and extensive wall texts.&lt;ref name=Tabo&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://tabomonastery.org/|title= Tabo Monastery|access-date=21 January 2013|publisher=Official Website of Tabo Monastery}}&lt;/ref&gt; The translator [[Rinchen Zangpo]], a Tibetan [[lama]] from western Tibet, who was chiefly responsible for translating Sanskrit Buddhist texts into Tibetan, was the preceptor to King Yeshe-Ö who helped in the missionary activities. Several Indian [[Pandit|pundits]] visited Tabo to learn the [[Classical Tibetan|Tibetan language]].&lt;ref name=History&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://tabomonastery.org/history/brief%20history.html|title= The History Of Tabo Monastery|access-date=21 January 2013|publisher=Official Website of Tabo Monastery}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Late 17th to 19th centuries===<br /> [[File:Tabo, India on 09Oct99b.jpg|thumb|left|Distant view of Tabo Monastery.]]<br /> During the 17th-19th centuries, the monastery and the bridge across the Spiti River witnessed historical events&lt;ref name=&quot;Kapadia 1999, p. 64&quot;/&gt; and political turmoil in the area. Manuscripts such as ''Tabo Kanjur'' make mention of some violent confrontations. An inscription of 1837 records attacks on the Tabo Assembly Hall in 1837, which can also visually be seen by damages to some parts of the walls. The attack is attributed to 'Rinjeet's troops' who were under the kings of Ladakh. With the [[British India|British Rule]] from 1846, the area enjoyed peace until the 1950s when the Indo-China border disputes reawakened the political claims of the border posts.&lt;ref name=History/&gt; In 1855, Tabo had 32 monks.&lt;ref&gt;Handa (1987), p. 131.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Modern era===<br /> [[File:Tabo.jpg|thumb|right|Entrance gate.]]<br /> The original monastery was severely damaged in the [[1975 Kinnaur earthquake]]. Subsequent to its full restoration and the addition of new structures, the [[14th Dalai Lama]] visited the monastery and initiated the [[Kalachakra Festival]] (a process of initiation and rejuvenation) in 1983, after the Kalachakra Temple was built.

The paintings date to the 10th-11th centuries for main temple (Tsug la Khang), 13th-14th centuries for the stupas, and from the 15th to the 20th centuries for all the other temples. Yeshe-Ö and his two sons when they built the monastery in 996 AD blended the provincial and regional characteristics with that of India and Central Asia. One particular feature mentioned in this regard is the iconographic themes of non-Buddhist traditions emanating from the protectress deity [[Wi-nyu-myin]]. The main temple is conjectured to represent the entire [[Vajradhatu Mandala]].The monastery has a huge collection of manuscripts and [[Pramana]] texts, which were filmed between 1991 and 1998.&lt;ref name=&quot;Klimburg-SalterTropper2007&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last1=Klimburg-Salter|first1=Deborah E.|last2=Tropper|first2=Kurt|title=Text, Image and Song In Transdisciplinary Dialogue: PIATS 2003 : Tibetan Studies : Proceedings of the Tenth Seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies, Oxford, 2003.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=juSGf_o-r4oC&amp;pg=PA63|access-date=24 January 2013|year=2007|publisher=BRILL|isbn=978-90-04-15549-7|page=63}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Main temple===<br /> The main temple has an entry hall (''Go Khang''), followed by an Assembly Hall (''Du Khang''). At the western end of the assembly hall there is an [[apse]] (recessed area), which has a [[cella]] or shrine area (''Ti Tsang Khang'') with an [[ambulatory]] (''Kor lam Khang'') passage. The entry hall has pictures of Yeshe-Ö and his two sons Nagaraja and Devaraja, the founders of the temple, on its south wall. The temple has a new entry hall (''Go Khang''), which has paintings dated to the late 19th century or 20th century. The old entry hall, which originally formed the only part of the complex, has retained the paintings of 996 AD.&lt;ref name=Monastery&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://tabomonastery.org/temple/temple.html|title= Temples And Holy Objects At Tabo Monastery| access-date=21 January 2013|publisher=Official Website of Tabo Monastery}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The Vajradhatu mandala is seen in the New Assembly Hall after entering from the old entry hall where the main deity of [[Vajradhatu]], [[Vairocana]] (height 110&amp;nbsp;cm), is shown seated on a single [[lotus throne]] on the back wall. The main iconographic deities here are the Vajradhatu and life-size clay sculptures with painted decorations complementing the main theme. The mandala also has 32 life-size clay sculptures of other deities which are embedded to the wall which merge well within the painted environment. The Protector Deity, ''Dorje Chenmo'', originally known as ''Wi-nyu-nin'', of the main temple was venerated in this hall. The paintings are of very good quality with bright colours, and are dated to 15th or early 16th century. An inscription which brings out the details of renovation works done is fixed to the right of [[Vajrapasa]] image.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt; The paintings are depicted in three sections with the central panel of the throne scene. The royal lama, Jangchub 'Od, who was in charge of the renovation, is painted here. On the left part of the composition 'the great Sangha of Tabo monastery' is depicted.<br /> <br /> Three very large life-size sculptures are located on a raised platform. They are within the shrine area of the temple. Each is flanked by a pair of painted goddesses. A seated Buddha figure sitting on a throne with the base sculpted with two lions facing each other is also seen; this is a partially restored image. The circumambulation of the temple performed by the devotees in a clock-wise fashion passes through the assembly hall. During this process, the narrative imagery on the south and adjacent walls, the pilgrimage of [[Sudhana]], and on the north and adjacent walls, the Life of the Buddha are seen.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt;<br /> <br /> The main temple (''Tsug la Khang'') has the main hall and main assembly area. It also contains many scriptures written on wooden planks, which are hung on the walls. The dark main temple room is lit by a small sky window and hence the room appears dark. In the inner vestibule, there are colorful frescoes of Buddhist and Hindu-Buddhist gods. Next to the vestibule is the small room where garments for the ritual dances are kept. The main hall at the centre is studded with images, and at the centre is a Buddha image in the [[Lotus position]]. This image is flanked on either side by divine figures. On the pedestals next to the main image are many more brass images of Lamas. Tapestries cover the walls, doors and columns, and paintings of various Buddha incarnations, starting with [[Gautama Buddha|Siddhartha]] and that of the [[Panchen Lamas]], give it a divine atmosphere. About 50 clay images and full size busts of gods and demons are seen in the back wall of the main hall. The 108 holy scriptures are also part of the main hall display and weigh about 500 pounds.&lt;ref&gt;Kapadia (1999), pp. 64-66&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Older temples===<br /> [[File:GSer-khang dedication.jpg|thumbnail|Golden Temple sign.]]<br /> The Golden Temple (''gSer-khang'') is said to have been once covered with gold. It was renovated by [[Sengge Namgyal]], a king of [[Ladakh]] in the 16th century. The walls and ceilings are covered with magnificent murals, which are well preserved and are dated to the 16th century. The other iconographic figures seen here are also found in other temples within the complex, and one such is of [[Vajradhara]] depiction.&lt;ref name=Ajanta/&gt;&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt;<br /> <br /> The [[Bodhisattva]] [[Maitreya]] Temple (''Byams-Pa Chen-po Lha-khang'') is an ancient temple built in the first 100 years of the main monastery as testified by the wooden door frame. Remnants of a painting is attributed to the 14th century. According to the sketch in the Mandala Temple it is indicated that the Maitreya Temple was initially double storied, which is also confirmed by the damage to the entrance wall. The image of the Bodhisattva [[Maitreya]] here is over six metres (20&amp;nbsp;feet) high. There are also murals showing [[Tashilhunpo]] Monastery in [[Shigatse]] and the [[Potala]] in Lhasa. A carved stone column base has the figure of a lion.&lt;ref name=Ajanta/&gt;&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt;<br /> <br /> In the Initiation Temple (''dKyil-kHor- khang''), there is a huge painting of [[Vairocana]] surrounded by eight [[Bodhisattvas]]. The other walls are covered in [[mandala]]s. This is where monks receive their initiations.<br /> <br /> The Temple of Dromton or Trom-ton Temple (''Brom-ston Lha khang'') is thought to have been founded by [[Dromton]] (1008-1064 CE), one of the main disciples of [[Atisha]].&lt;ref name=Ajanta/&gt; The Large Trom-ton Temple has murals of the eight [[Bhaisajyaguru|Medicine Buddhas]], which are dated to the 17th century; at the base of this temple the life of [[Shakyamuni Buddha]] is painted in a narrative form.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt; The Small Mandala Temple is used for [[Vajrayana|tantric]] rituals and teachings, may also be of the early period.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt; The interior of the Small Trom-ton Temple has very elegant paintings; however, remnants of carvings, dates attributed to the 13th or 14th century, are discerned at the entry door to the temple.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt; The Nun's Temple, a small temple, is seen on the back wall of the compound; the paintings here dated to 18th century are not of good quality.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Newer temples===<br /> Five temples are included in the newer temple group,&lt;ref name=Ajanta/&gt; such as the Chamber of Picture Treasures (''Z'al-ma'') and the White Temple. (''dKar-abyum Lha-Khang)''. After the assembly hall, the large Temple of Dromton (''Brom-ston Lha khang'') is the largest temple in the complex and contains many wall paintings; the wooden planks in the ceiling are decorated. The [[Mahakala]] [[Vajra Bhairava]] Temple (''Gon-khang'') contains the protective deity of the Gelukpa sect; it contains fierce deities and is only entered after protective meditation. The Protector deity of the monastery along with his retinue are depicted on a large panel on the east wall of the main entrance; this painting was damaged due to water seepage and has been very well restored by ASI as it provides a link to the old history of Tabo Monastery.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt;<br /> [[File:Tabo monastery and surroundings 1.jpg|right|thumb|Stupas in the backdrop of the surrounding hills.]]<br /> <br /> ===Stupas===<br /> There are many stupas in the precincts of the temple complex of which four have paintings in its interior. Two of the stupas are dated to the 13th century, based on the paintings. A carved wooden lintel was also found in one of the stupas.&lt;ref name=Monastery/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Fittings===<br /> The monastery is known as &quot;the [[Ajanta Caves|Ajanta]] of the [[Himalayas]]&quot; because of its frescoes and stucco paintings. The iconography of this period in the temples also supports the bond that existed between the two cultures of India and Tibet. There is a large and priceless collection of [[thanka]]s (scroll paintings), manuscripts, well-preserved statues, frescos and extensive murals which cover almost every wall. While in the earlier period, paintings in the interior of the main Tabo temple and its stupas represented the [[Nyingmapa]], [[Kadampa]] and [[Sakyapa]] traditions, the later period represent paintings of the [[Gelugpa]] tradition. In the independent small chambers of the monastery, there are many paintings on the walls. The frescoes seen inside the [[gompa]] are in a fragile state. Some are of a bright cobalt colour. Prior to the 1975 earthquake, there were 32 raised medallions on the walls of the temple hall, and an image placed in front of each of them.&lt;ref name=&quot;Francke1914&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last=Francke|first=August Hermann|title=Antiquities of Indian Tibet|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LmrmdKmivnEC&amp;pg=PA82|access-date=20 January 2013|edition=Public domain|year=1914|publisher=Asian Educational Services|isbn=978-81-206-0769-9|pages=82–}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Grounds==<br /> The monastery has been built like a fort with very strong walls.

The lamas also perform [[Vajrayana|tantric]] rites here in the temples.&lt;ref name=Ajanta/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Education===<br /> Tabo evolved as an important centre of learning in its early centuries; the [[Kadampa]] School developed into the [[Gelugpa]] School. The monastery currently runs the Serkong School, which was established on 29 May 1999, marking the 15th birthday of Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche, the present abbot. There are 274 students, from the age of 5 to 14 years, in classes 1–8. The subjects covered are English, [[Hindi]] and [[Spiti Bhoti]] languages, Social Science, Social Studies, Math and General Knowledge. Information technology, Sanskrit language and Art are also provided to students in higher grade levels. The Indian government funds about 50 per cent of the school through a grant; the rest of the expenses are met through student fees and donations. The monastery has plans to enlarge the school's infrastructure and facilities but needs funding.&lt;ref name=Culture/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Festivals===<br /> Many festivals are held in the precincts of the monastery. The Tibetan monks perform traditional Buddhist and regional songs and dances.&lt;ref name=Culture/&gt; The most popular religious festival held here is the [[Chakhar Festival]], which is dedicated to the peace and happiness of all. This is held every three years, usually during September or October.

His childhood friend and poet Abhishek Bharadwaj visits him and stays with the family for a while. Abhishek is [[Depression (mood)|depressed]] due to the death of his girlfriend, Shruti, due to cancer. Before her death, Shruthi had asked Abhishek to promise her that he would marry another girl after her death. A prolonged stay at Hemanth's leads to Abhishek becoming obsessed with Veena due to her strong resemblance to Shruthi. Hemanth learns of this but does not reveal it to Veena.<br /> <br /> A few days later, the three, together with the employees of Hemanth's firm, take a trip to [[Kodaikanal]]. Abhishek happens to drive Hemanth to a cliff in an [[Mahindra Major|off-road vehicle]] for the latter to photograph the sunset. Once there, Hemanth chides Abhishek over his advances towards Veena and asks him to return home before things worsen. However, Abhishek, in an attempt to kill him, puts the vehicle's gears in neutral hoping it would run him down the cliff. Hemanth survives the hit but is left hanging off the cliff; Abhishek does not save him.<br /> <br /> Veena is distraught over her husband's death. Friends of Hemanth request Abhishek to stay with Veena at her residence until she recovers. However, Veena learns of Abhishek's intentions and confides in her friend, Dr. Vimala. She has also got hold of the [[Negative (photography)|negatives]] from her husband's [[Motor drive (photography)|motorised camera]] and [[Photographic developer|develops]] them only to find that all of her husband's final moments were captured, including Abhishek watching on as he asked for help. However, she pretends to have moved on and suggests that she is ready to share her life with Abhishek and announces before her friends that she would marry him. A day later, she asks him to take her to the cliff where Hemanth died as it was his long-cherished dream to take photographs from there. Once there, she confronts and reveals that she knows what transpired on that fateful day before handing over a trembling Abhishek the developed photographs. She then kills her self by leaping from the cliff, in front of him, as a revenge.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> {{cast listing|<br /> * [[Suhasini Maniratnam|Suhasini]] as Veena&lt;ref name=&quot;N&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2018/aug/06/sequel-to-1997-film-amrutha-varshini-in-the-making-1854220.html|title=Sequel to 1997 film 'Amrutha Varshini' in the making|date=6 August 2018|work=[[The New Indian Express]]|first=A.|last=Sharadhaa|access-date=5 December 2023|archive-date=5 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231205081435/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2018/aug/06/sequel-to-1997-film-amrutha-varshini-in-the-making-1854220.html|url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Sarath Babu]] as Hemanth&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://thesouthfirst.com/entertainment/the-top-5-films-of-sarath-babu/|title=The top 5 films of Sarath Babu — across South film industries|first1=Y.

Suhasini called Dinesh Baboo while he was in Kerala about producer Jayashreedevi, who was looking for a director-cum-cinematographer for their next venture.

<p>Sameer: brief enhanced section after review and cleaned formatting for consistency</p> <hr /> <div>{{Short description|Canadian immigration policy (1908–1947)}}<br /> The '''continuous journey regulation''' was a restriction placed by the [[Canadian government]] that (ostensibly) prevented those who, &quot;in the opinion of the Minister of the Interior&quot;, did not &quot;come from the country of their birth or citizenship by a continuous journey and or through tickets purchased before leaving the country of their birth or nationality&quot; from being accepted as immigrants to Canada. However, in effect, the regulation affected only the immigration of persons from India.<br /> <br /> Issued through an [[order-in-council]] on 8 January 1908,&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |date=8 January 1908 |title=Immigrants debarred from landing in Canada who do not come from country of citizenship in through tickets by continuous journey - Min.

In practice, the regulation applied only to ships that began their voyage in India, as the great distance usually necessitated a stopover in [[Japan]] or [[Hawaii]]. These regulations came at a time when Canada was accepting massive numbers of [[Immigration to Canada|immigrants]] (over 400,000 in 1913 alone), almost all of whom came from [[Europe]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |last=Gagnon |first=Erica |title=Settling the West: Immigration to the Prairies from 1867 to 1914 |url=https://pier21.ca/research/immigration-history/settling-west-immigration-to-prairies |access-date=9 April 2022 |website=Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 |publisher=Government of Canada}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Background===<br /> During the first two decades of the 20th century, some provinces in Canada enacted laws limiting the [[civil rights]] of Indians, including the right to vote,&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite act|type=Act|index=|date=31 August 1900|legislature=City Council of Vancouver|title=An Act to Revise and Consolidate the Vancouver Incorporation Act|pages=283|url=https://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/chungpub/1.0056114#p24z-4r0f:vote|quote=&quot;No Chinaman, Japanese or Indian shall be entitled to vote at any municipal election for the election of Mayor or Alderman.&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt; hold public office,{{Efn|As per Section 14 of Municipal Clauses Act, 1906 (S.B.C. 1906, c. 32), candidates applying for the position of Mayor or Aldermen should be a British subject, older than 21 years, and should be a registered land-owner.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite act |type=Act |index=32 |date=12 March 1906 |article= |article-type= |legislature=Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia |title=Municipal Clauses Act, 1906 |page=150 |url=https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/hstats/hstats/1160163090 |access-date=14 March 2022}}&lt;/ref&gt;}} serve on juries,{{Efn|As per Jurors' Act 1883, only legally registered voters are qualified to become jurors.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite act|type=Act|index=|date=12 May 1883|legislature=Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia|title=An Act respecting Jurors and Juries|pages=48-49|url=https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/hstats/hstats/848232670|quote=&quot;Unless exempted, every person who is registered as a voter under the provisions of the laws of the Province for the time being regulating the Qualification and Registration of Voters at elections for members of the Legislative Assembly, and who is in the possession of his natural faculties and not infirm or decrepit, shall be qualified and liable to serve as a Juror&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt; At the time, Qualifications and Registrations of Voters Provisions Act, 1875 was in force, which barred Chinese and Indians from voting in Provincial Elections.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite act|type=Act|index=|date=22 April 1875|legislature=Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia|title=An Act relating to an Act to make better provision for the Qualification and Registration of Voters|pages=13|url=https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/hstats/hstats/2049141411|quote=&quot;No Chinaman or Indian shall have his name placed on the register of Voters for any Electoral District, or be entitled to vote at any election of a Member to serve in the Legislative Assembly of this Province.&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt;}} obtain a liquor licence,&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite act|type=Act|date=21 June 1902|legislature=Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia|title=Liquor License Act (1900) amendment Act, 1902|pages=147|url=https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/hstats/hstats/1874702359|quote=&quot;No licence under this Act shall be issued or transferred to any person of the Indian race, or to any person who is not on the list of voters for the Legislature of the Province of British Columbia.&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt; or practise as pharmacists, lawyers, and accountants.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book |url=https://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/bcbooks/1.0376413#p1z-5r0f: |title=An act to regulate immigration into British Columbia, 1908 : speech of Hon.

The Imperial authorities in London had noted Indian resentment when [[White Australia policy|Australia enacted immigration restrictions]] implicitly designed to restrict non-European immigration in 1901, based on similar legislation in [[South Africa]].{{Efn|A}} [[New Zealand]] had passed similar restrictive legislation in 1899.<br /> <br /> When Canada started making provisions to block immigration from India, London warned it to be cautious in its approach and to be aware that its actions might inflame nationalist fervour in India. With this in mind, Canadian immigration authorities decided to ''indirectly'' halt Indian immigration to the country.<br /> <br /> ===Continuous journey regulation===<br /> [[File:I-33324-001.jpg|thumb|Original Statute of Continuous Journey Regulation&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |last1=Gagnon |first1=Erica |last2=Raska |first2=Jan |last3=Van Dyk |first3=Lindsay |last4=MacDonald |first4=Monica |last5=Obradovic |first5=Siniša |last6=Schwinghamer |first6=Steve |last7=University |first7=Western |date=10 April 1908 |title=Continuous Journey Regulation, 1908 |url=https://pier21.ca/research/immigration-history/continuous-journey-regulation-1908 |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 |location=Halifax}}&lt;/ref&gt;]]<br /> <br /> The government's first attempt to restrict immigration from India was to issue an order-in-council on 8 January 1908 that prohibited the immigration of persons who &quot;in the opinion of the Minister of the Interior&quot; did not &quot;come from the country of their birth or citizenship by a continuous journey and or through tickets purchased before leaving the country of their birth or nationality.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt; In practice, this applied only to ships that began their voyage in India, as the great distance usually necessitated a stopover in Japan or Hawaii. This was discriminatory to Indians who could not travel directly to Canada.<br /> <br /> The new regulation was soon challenged with the arrival of the S.S. ''Monteagle'' in British Columbia in late February 1908.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |date=February 1908 |title=D'Arcy Scott - Ottawa - Arrival of Hindoos at Vancouver on C.P.R. stmr.

A number of the passengers were ordered deported as they did not comply with the new regulation. The orders were challenged in court. Justice Clement of the Supreme Court of B.C. quashed the deportation orders on 24 March 1908, after he found the regulation to be invalid, as the Immigration Act did not authorize the delegation of decision making to the Minister of the Interior, as stated in the regulation.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite court|litigants=In Re.

On 9 November 1911, Justice Morrison issued a writ of [[habeas corpus]] to quash a deportation order made against Rahim. In granting the order, the judge commented that the 1910 continuous journey regulation was invalid, as its wording (copied from the 1908 regulation) did not conform with the enacting provision of Paragraph 38(a) of the 1910 ''Immigration Act''.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite court|litigants=Re Rahim|court=B.C.S.C.|reporter=B.C.R.|vol=16|opinion=469|date=1911|url=https://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/bcreports/1.0357281#p494z-5r0f:}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite court|litigants=Re.

Both regulations underwent judicial scrutiny again in November 1913, in the course of two cases before the Supreme Court of B.C.

The ship was turned around and forced to depart on July 23 for Asia.<br /> <br /> The ''Komagata Maru'' incident was widely cited at the time by Indian groups to highlight discrepancies in Canadian immigration laws. Further, the inflamed passions in the wake of the incident were widely cultivated by the Indian revolutionary organization, the [[Ghadar Party]], to rally support for its aims.<br /> <br /> ===Governmental apologies===<br /> In response to calls for the government of Canada to address historic wrongs involving immigration and wartime measures, the Conservative government in 2006 created the community historical recognition program to provide grant and contribution funding for community projects linked to wartime measures and immigration restrictions and a national historical recognition program to fund federal initiatives, developed in partnership with various groups.

Bhushan Chaudhry ([[Shafi Inamdar]]) and Mr. Agarwal ([[Tiku Talsania]]) are business rivals, and hate each other. Their children, Rajesh Chaudhry ([[Aamir Khan]]) and Asha Agarwal ([[Juhi Chawla]]) study in the same class in college, and are in love with each other. Both are terrified of what their parents will do when they find out about their romance. And when the parents do find out, all kinds of restrictions are placed on them. Unable to stay away from each other, they elope in a stolen car. On the way, they come across an injured man, and decide to take him to hospital. The young couple become mixed up with two rival groups of crooks who are after treasure in a tribal village set in a remote forest somewhere off ''[[Mumbai]]''. Rajesh who has a photographic memory, gets hold of the treasure map, and after a quick survey eats it up in order to protect himself and Asha. They are closely followed by their irate parents who do not want them to marry each other. They get caught in the tribal village and is released in an almost miraculous manner. In the end the two lovers are united and the crooks are killed by a CBI officer who was in disguise.<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> * [[Aamir Khan]] as Rajesh Chaudhry<br /> * [[Juhi Chawla]] as Asha Agarwal<br /> * [[Paresh Rawal]] as Hari Bhai<br /> * [[Dalip Tahil]] as Mike<br /> * [[Kiran Kumar]] as Rana<br /> * [[Kader Khan]] as CID Inspector Sher Khan / K.K.

Meghana, a US-educated woman, resides with her uncle V. K. Sonty's family. Both Sasi and Meghana are engaged to others—Rukmini and Sujith, respectively—and eagerly looking forward to their arrival in India. Sasi and Meghana meet at a rave, where Meghana initially misjudges him as arrogant, leading to a series of misunderstandings.<br /> <br /> The two embark on a cruise, the ''Leo Star'', traveling from [[Singapore]] to [[Visakhapatnam|Vizag]]. Amid humorous and lighthearted incidents, Meghana begins to recognize Sasi's kind nature, and the two form a bond. During a stopover in the [[Andaman Islands]], Sasi takes Meghana to meet his grandmother, and they share a meaningful time together. As their relationship deepens, they realize they may be falling in love. Sasi, cautious of their feelings, suggests they take 90 days apart without any contact. He proposes they meet at the Vizag lighthouse if their feelings remain unchanged.<br /> <br /> The cruise reaches Vizag, where Sasi and Meghana are reunited with their respective fiancés, Rukmini and Sujith. Despite their efforts to focus on their engagements, both struggle to suppress their emotions. As the 90-day period nears its end, Sasi, while visiting his ailing grandmother in Andaman, writes to Rukmini to explain his love for Meghana. On the final day, Meghana waits at the lighthouse, but Sasi, delayed by an accident, fails to arrive. Heartbroken, Meghana misinterprets his absence as rejection and agrees to marry Sujith.<br /> <br /> After recovering, Sasi learns about Meghana's wedding and mistakenly believes she has moved on. On the wedding day, Sasi attends with Rukmini, and Meghana discovers the truth about his accident. Sasi performs a song, fulfilling a promise he made to Meghana, which prompts an emotional confrontation. Sujith realizes their love and magnanimously unites them. The film concludes with the joyous marriage of Sasi and Meghana.<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> {{colbegin}}<br /> * [[Nagarjuna (actor)|Nagarjuna Akkineni]] as Sasi Kumar<br /> * [[Jagapati Babu]] as Sujeeth<br /> * [[Anjala Zhaveri]] as Meghana<br /> * [[Keerthi Reddy]] as Rukmini<br /> * [[Tanikella Bharani]]<br /> * [[Giri Babu]] as Sujit's father<br /> * [[Chandra Mohan (Telugu actor)|Chandra Mohan]] as Meghana's father<br /> * [[Ali (actor)|Ali]] as Sasi's friend<br /> * Vivekvasu as Sasi's friend <br /> * [[Venu Madhav (actor)|Venu Madhav]] as KVR<br /> * [[M.

It can be known as Moran and then Morinda.<br /> <br /> Morinda is known in the local region for housing one of the 23 Co-operative Sugar Mills in the State of Punjab. It is also known as Baganwaala, &quot;The City of Orchards&quot;. This is because Large Orchards occupied it once which were eventually cleared for housing.<br /> <br /> The City is located on [[National Highway 5 (India)]](Connecting Chandigarh and Ludhiana). This benefits local businesses, enabling the town development and expansion. Today, Morinda grows at a faster rate than its neighbouring towns.&lt;ref name=&quot;Morinda Municipal Council&quot;/&gt; A lot of industries of nearby towns such as Bassi Pathana have moved to Morinda.&lt;ref name=&quot;Morinda Municipal Council&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Adding to the historical significance of the town is Gurudwara Shri Kotwaali Sahib. This was the prison (Kotwali) where the Mother, [[Mata Gujri]] of 10th Sikh Guru ([[Guru Gobind Singh]]) and his two sons were kept as prisoners before being taken to [[Fatehgarh Sahib]] where the sons sacrificed their lives. They were buried alive in the walls and later Mata Gujri also ended her life at the same place.&lt;ref name=&quot;Morinda Municipal Council&quot;&gt;{{Cite web|url=http://lgpunjab.gov.in/eSewa/morinda/city-introduction/|title=Morinda Municipal Council|publisher=Morinda Municipal Council}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> A 1904 Punjab States Gazetteer lists Morinda among the [[Taoni]] Rajputs' [[chhat]]s (principal villages).&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |title=Punjab States Gazetteers.

Raju, who dreams of being an automobile engineer, works in a garage due to circumstances. Tia, a girl who daydreams, and has no wish to get a job, marries Raju, a son of the Ghosh family. Raju's mother finally finds a way to beat her sister-in-law in the competition, and she presents Tia as a working woman.

Between the second and the third caves there are stairs that go up to the top of the hill, where there are some fortifications from the [[Chalukya]] era. The third cave contains almost 3-metre high sculptures.<br /> <br /> The caves overlook the ancient ''Agatsyateerth pond'', built sometime in the 5th century. Just behind the archaeological museum, there is a long stairway that leads to the fortification on the top of the hill. Most people who come to Badami do not venture this way, this is the best thing about the place. There are a couple of Chalukya temples on the top covered with intricate carvings. On the northern side of the pond is a group of Shiva temples, called the ''Bhoothnath temples''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Aihole==<br /> <br /> [[File:Durga Temple (Aihole, Karnataka, India).JPG|thumb|200px|right|Durga temple at Aihole]]<br /> <br /> There are more than a 100 temples in the village dating from the ''6th to the 12th centuries''. Of these around 30 temples are within an enclosed area and the others are spread all over the village.<br /> <br /> The Aihole was the first capital of the early Chalukyas and is a veritable treasure trove of ancient temples. Actually quite similar to Hampi, only much more ancient and much less publicized.<br /> <br /> The most famous of the temples is the photogenic ''Durga temple'' within the enclosed complex, lying in the midst of lush green lawns. The temple is apsidal in plan, topped by a curvilinear shikhara. A pillared corridor runs around the temple. The pillars are beautifully carved with sculptures depicting incidents from the Ramayana. Another notable temple is the [[Chalukya Shiva Temple]], also within the compound. The temple has beautifully carved pillars. There are several other smaller shrines and a small museum within the same complex.<br /> <br /> The ''Revalphadi Cave'', dedicated to Shiva, is remarkable for its delicate details.<br /> <br /> Not to be missed is the Konthi Temple Complex (Kwanthi Gudi), the Uma Maheswari Temple with a beautifully carved Brahma seated on a lotus, the austere Jain Meguti Temple and the two storeyed Buddhist Temple.<br /> <br /> ==Mahakuta==<br /> <br /> [[Mahakuta]], once a great center of shaiva cult, Mahakuta is a beautiful place surrounded by hills. The Mahakuteshwara temple dedicated to Shiva, is built in the [[Dravidian architecture|Dravidian]] style.<br /> <br /> Naganath Temple, located in a forest on the way to Mahakuta, it is one of the early Chalukyan temples dedicated to Shiva.<br /> <br /> ==Banashankari==<br /> <br /> The temple is dedicated to [[Banashankari Amma Temple|Banashankari]] or Shakambari (a form of Parvati) is located at Cholachagud popularly called Banashankari.

The old town area with cotton and silk weavers stands gloriously besides the modern, bustling, tree-lined British Cantonment.<br /> <br /> Belgaum is the District Headquarters of Belgaum District and Divisional Headquarters Of Belgaum division, on the Bengaluru-Pune National Highway. It was the capital of the [[Ratta dynasty|Ratta]]s who shifted to this place from [[Saundatti]] during the close of 12th century A.D. The place has a fort inside which built by one Ratta Officer called Bichirajain 1204 A.D. exhibits the execution of a totally refined style of temple architecture. It has excellently and artistically carved Kamala Basadi having huge protruding lotus petals of stone (Kamala) in its ceiling and this beautiful structure in Chalukya style houses Neminatha Teerthankara image. <br /> The place came under the Sevunas (Yadavas) and [[Vijayanagara]] and later conquered by Mahamood Gawan in 1474 on behalf of the [[Bahamani]]s. The fort was strengthened by the [[Adilshahi]]s and there is an excellent structure, Safa Mosque with three entrances, has rich floral and impressive calligraphic designs. Two of its pillars have Kannada Inscriptions in Nagari Scripts, one of 1199 of Ratta King Kartaveerya IV and another of 1261 is of [[Seuna]] (Yadava) Krishna.<br /> <br /> Due to its proximity to the states of Maharashtra and Goa, Belgaum has acquired the cultural flavour of these states and blended it with the local Kannada culture to create a rich heritage, which is unique in its manifestation. It is also known as Malenadu or Rain Country and the vegetation here is verdant green throughout the year.<br /> <br /> This city is famous for Belgaum Kunda.<br /> <br /> ==Ballari==<br /> <br /> [[Ballari]] is a district headquarters. It has spread round two rocky hills, and one of them called Balahari Betta has a temple. The [[Bellary Fort|Ballari Fort]] built round the hill in Vijayanagara times is still intact. It passed into the hands of Bijapur, [[Marathas]], and Haider. After the fall of Tipu, the town was ceded to the British. The Durgamma (Ballaramma) temple here has the deity represented by the heap of earth. The place has two large mosques. A Government Medical College was founded here in 1961 Bellary now has grown as a great centre of apparel manufacturing.<br /> <br /> ==Bidar==<br /> [[File:BidarMadarsa.jpg|thumb|right|Arabic University Mahmud Gawan, Bidar]]<br /> [[Bidar]], the District headquarters, described as Viduranagara, a place of<br /> [[Mahabharatha]] times. It must have existed as a minor but powerful fort during the days of Kalyani Chalukyas (AD 1074 – AD 1190). In A.D.1322, Prince Ulugh Khan captured the town of Bidar. Subsequently, it was annexed by Sultan Muhammad-bin- Tughlaq of Delhi. With the establishment of the [[Bahmani]] dynasty (AD 1347), Bidar was occupied by Sultan Alla-Ud-Din Bahman Shah Bahmani. During the rule of Ahmad Shah I (1422–1486 AD), Bidar was made the capital city of Bahmani Kingdom.<br /> <br /> The [[Bahmani]] Shahi rulers made it their capital, in c, 1426 and fortified it. It is still intact. Inside it are the Solha Kamb mosque (1423) and palaces like Takht Mahal, Chini Mahal and Rangeen Mahal; some of them are highly decorated with mosaic and wood work etc. The fort has magnificent doorways and massive bastions. Gawan's Madrasa in the town is a gorgeous imposing building of Indo-Saracenic style. After the decline of Bahamanis, the Barid-Shahis ruled over Bidar and it was taken over by the Bijapur rulers in 1619. Astur near Bidar has tombs of Bahmani Sultans which are tall structures, and one of them has paintings. The Gurudwara at Bidar is built at Nanak Zhira, which is described as a fountain created by [[Guru Nanak]] during his visit.<br /> <br /> Bidar boasts of several religious centers: The famous Nanak Jheera – the largest [[Sikh]] temple at least in Karnataka, carries the tale that Guru Nanak – the first guru of the Sikhs visited this place and got rid of the scarcity of drinking water in the region. A popular spot is the Sikh temple, Guru Nanak Jheera, where fresh crystal clear spring water appears from nowhere. Papanaash is a temple of [[Lord Shiva]].<br /> The historical fort of Bidar was a stronghold of the [[Bahamani]] Kings in the 14th and 15th centuries. The fort is surrounded by three miles of walls with 37 bastions, most of them surmounted with cannons. The fort now lies in ruins.<br /> <br /> Bidar is famous for [[Bidriware]]<br /> <br /> ==Kalaburagi==<br /> <br /> Kalaburagi, erstwhile known as [[Gulbarga]], and the area around it was a part of the ancient dynasty Badami Chalukyas In the early part of the 14th century, it became the part of the Delhi Sultanate. It was captured by Ulugh Khan, one of the generals belonging to the Tughlaq dynasty of [[Delhi]] Sultanate, and later captured by Mohammed bin Tughlaq, the Sultan of Delhi.<br /> It remained a part of the Delhi Sultanate until the death of Mohammed bin Tughlaq. Later it became a part of the [[Bahamani]] kingdom. The Bahamani kings made it their capital from 1347 to 1428.<br /> <br /> ==Raichur==<br /> [[File:Nagareshwara temple.png|thumb|Temple is situated in core heart of the city [[Raichur]].The temple is Re-Built with modern architecture which has many idols of Rishis and yogis inside and around the temple.

The city is famous for its imposing Raichur Fort.[1] Here, stone inscriptions have been found in Persian and Arabic which belonged to the bastion of the fort, referring to its construction in 1294.[2] Among the ruins of the immense fort are many irrigation tanks and old temples. The fort was built by Kakatiya king Rudra in 1284 CE which passed on to the Vijayanagar kingdom after the decline of the Kakatiyas. Thereafter the fort was under dispute for nearly two centuries. It was captured by the Bahmanis in 1323 CE. Saluva Narasimha Raya expressed a wish in his testament that the city of Raichur be recaptured. This had been in the mind of Krishnadevaraya since his coronation in 1509.<br /> <br /> ==Vijayapura==<br /> [[File:GolGumbaz2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Gol Gumbaz]] in Bijapur, North Karnataka]]<br /> <br /> [[Bijapur, Karnataka|Bijapur]], which has changed its name officially to Vijayapura, the district headquarters, is one of the most important centres of Indo-Saracenic art, being the capital of the [[Adil Shahi]]s of Bijapur (1489–1686).

A princess of the [[Vrishni]] dynasty, she becomes the wife of [[Pandu]], king of the [[Kuru kingdom|Kuru Kingdom]], and is chiefly known as the mother of the five [[Pandava|Pandavas]]—having given birth to the three eldest, [[Yudhishthira]], [[Bhima]], and [[Arjuna]]—and raising their younger stepbrothers, [[Nakula]] and [[Sahadeva]], as her own. <br /> <br /> Kunti is one of the few female figures in the epic whose early life is described in detail. Born to [[Shurasena]], she is adopted by her childless uncle, [[Kuntibhoja]], and during her adolescence, she receives a divine mantra from the sage [[Durvasa]], which allows her to invoke any deity and bear a child by them. Out of curiosity, she uses the mantra to invoke the sun god [[Surya]], resulting in the concealed birth of her first son, [[Karna]]. Due to the societal stigma surrounding childbirth outside of marriage, she abandons Karna shortly after his birth.<br /> <br /> Kunti plays a significant role in the [[Kuru dynasty]]. After marrying Pandu, who is cursed to die instantly if he engages in intercourse, Kunti uses her boon to bear Yudhishthira, Bhima, and Arjuna by invoking the gods [[Yama|Dharma]], [[Vayu]], and [[Indra]], in accordance with Pandu’s request to have children through the practice of ''[[niyoga]].'' She later shares the boon with her co-wife, [[Madri]], who gives birth to Nakula and Sahadeva. Following Pandu’s death and Madri’s [[Sati (practice)|self-immolation]], Kunti assumes responsibility for all five children and raises them in [[Hastinapur|Hastinapura]], the capital of the Kuru Kingdom. A misunderstanding on Kunti’s part results in the polyandrous marriage of [[Draupadi]], the princess of [[Panchala]], to all five Pandava brothers. Kunti then serves as the queen-mother of [[Indraprastha]] until the Pandavas are exiled. Prior to the [[Kurukshetra War]], Kunti meets Karna, who had joined the opposing [[Kaurava]] side, and discloses his true parentage, urging him to join the Pandava side. Although Karna refuses to switch allegiance, he agrees to spare all of Kunti’s sons except Arjuna. Following the Pandavas’ victory, Kunti reveals Karna’s identity to them and later retires to the forest with other elders of the Kuru dynasty and eventually dies in a forest fire.<br /> <br /> Within Hindu tradition, Kunti is venerated as one of the [[panchakanya]] (&quot;five maidens&quot;), embodying ideals of female chastity. Her name is believed to possess purifying qualities, capable of dispelling sin when recited. Kunti is lauded as the epitome of dutiful womanhood, noted for her intelligence, beauty, foresight and political acumen.<br /> <br /> ==Literary background==<br /> Kunti appears in the ''Mahabharata'', one of the [[Sanskrit]] epics originating from the [[Indian subcontinent]], which primarily narrates about conflict between two groups of cousins—the [[Pandavas]] and the [[Kaurava|Kauravas]]. Composed in [[Classical Sanskrit]], the text is a composite work shaped through centuries of revisions, editing, and interpolations. The text is primarily composed between 300 BCE - 300 CE, with the oldest portions of the extant text likely date to around 400 BCE.{{sfn|Brockington|1998|p=26}} Manuscripts of the ''Mahabharata'' exist in numerous versions, with substantial variations in the details of key characters and events. An exception is the section containing the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]'', which remains notably consistent across different manuscripts.{{sfn|Minor|1982|p=1-11}} Significant differences exist between the Northern and Southern recensions, with the Southern versions generally being more elaborate and extended. Scholars have undertaken the creation of a [[critical edition]], primarily drawing from the &quot;Bombay&quot;, &quot;Poona&quot;, &quot;Calcutta&quot;, and &quot;South Indian&quot; editions of the text. The most widely accepted version is that compiled by a team led by [[Vishnu Sitaram Sukthankar|Vishnu Sukthankar]] at the [[Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute]], with copies preserved at [[Kyoto University]], [[Cambridge University]], and various institutions across India.{{sfn|McGrath|2004|p=9-26}}<br /> <br /> Quickly after her introduction in the ''[[Adi Parva]]''—the first of the eighteen books of the ''Mahabharata''—Kunti emerges as a foundational female figure whose narrative significance sets her apart from her contemporaries, playing a central role in shaping the future course of the epic. Early in the royal genealogies, as Bhishma arranges the marriages intended to restore the Kuru lineage, three women—[[Gandhari]], Kunti, and [[Madri]]—are brought into focus. Scholar [[Alf Hiltebeitel]] points out that it is Kunti who quickly becomes the &quot;rising star&quot; of the narrative skein that spans chapters 103 to 119. Kunti is uniquely privileged in this section of the text. While Gandhari and Madri are introduced more briefly, an entire ''adhyaya'' (chapter 104) is devoted to Kunti’s childhood—making her the only woman marrying into a central royal line in either the ''[[Mahabharata]]'' or the ''[[Ramayana]]'' whose girlhood is explored in such depth. Quantitative evidence from this narrative arc underscores Kunti’s prominence: between chapters 103.9 and 119.12, the text allocates 195 verses to Kunti, compared to 85 for Madri and just 36 for Gandhari.{{sfn|Hiltebeitel|2011|p=383}} According to [[James L. Fitzgerald]], Kunti's main scenes in the ''Mahabharata'' all involve her premarital son [[Karna]],{{sfn|Fitzgerald|1973|p=21}} and within the epic, which follows the [[story within a story]] style of narration, the account of Kunti's origin and Karna's birth has been narrated multiple times, with the most detailed one being found in the ''[[Vana Parva]]'' (3.287.1-3.292.1).{{sfn|McGrath|2004|p=2}} <br /> <br /> Pradeep Bhattacharya observes that Kunti’s pivotal decision in the later part of the ''Adi Parva''—having her sons share [[Draupadi]]—not only influences the trajectory of the plot but also marks a transition in the epic’s focus from Kunti to Draupadi as the central female figure in the following books. Kunti remains largely in the background following the ''Adi Parva'' until the ''[[Udyoga Parva]]'', the fifth book of the ''Mahabharata''. Here, she re-emerges during [[Krishna]]’s peace mission, having multiple dialogues while blessing Yudhishthira and pursuing Karna, who has aligned himself with the Kauravas, to join the Pandava side.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; In last part of the eleventh book, ''[[Stri Parva]]'', Kunti—who has remained the most reticent among the epic’s principal female figures after [[Kurukshetra war]]—finally speaks up to reveal Karna's true lineage to the Pandavas.{{sfn|Fitzgerald|1973|p=21}} She exits the main narrative in the ''[[Ashramavasika Parva]]'', the fifteenth book.{{sfn|McGrath|2004|p=9-26}}<br /> <br /> == Etymology ==<br /> The feminine epithet ''Kuntī'' (Sanskrit: कुन्ती) is a [[patronymic]] derivative, which the character acquired through her adoption by Kunti-bhoja.{{sfn|Hiltebeitel|2011|p=388}} The epithet has its roots in the masculine noun ''[[Kunti kingdom|Kunti]]'' (कुन्ति), which originally referred to a group of people. This ethnonym appears in classical Sanskrit texts such as the ''Kathaka Samhita'', [[Pāṇini]]’s ''[[Aṣṭādhyāyī]]'' (4.1.176), and the ''Mahabharata''. The male variant of the epithet is also used to denote rulers or princes of this lineage.{{sfn|Monier-Williams|1999|p=291}}<br /> <br /> Kunti's original name is ''Pṛthā'' (Sanskrit: पृथा). According to scholar [[Alf Hiltebeitel]], this name means 'the Wide', evoking both the goddess ''[[Prithvi|Pṛthivī]]'' (lit. 'the Broad Earth') and the description of her as a girl with &quot;wide eyes&quot; in the ''Mahabharata'' (3.287.12), reinforcing a symbolic alignment with the vastness and nurturing aspect of the Earth.{{sfn|Hiltebeitel|2011|p=388}} [[Madeleine Biardeau]] observes that while other prominent women in the epic—such as [[Gandhari (Mahabharata)|Gandhari]] ('Woman of [[Gandhara|Gāndhāra]]') and [[Madri]] ('Woman of [[Madra]]')—derive their identities from specific geographic regions, Kunti’s name Pritha links her to the Earth as a whole, not to any one territory.{{sfn|Hiltebeitel|2011|p=384}}<br /> <br /> From a lexical standpoint, linguist [[Monier Monier-Williams|Monier-Williams]] derives ''Pṛthā'' from the root ''pṛtha'', related to ''pṛth'', and suggest that it can also mean “the flat or palm of the hand', attested in texts such as the ''[[Shatapatha Brahmana|Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa]]''.{{sfn|Monier-Williams|1999|p=645}} Building on this, sociologist [[Irawati Karve]] interpreted the name to suggest a physical characteristic, writing that it &quot;shows that she was apparently a large big-boned girl&quot;. However, Lavanya Vemsani contests Karve’s interpretation, arguing that there is neither linguistic nor textual justification for linking the meaning &quot;palm&quot; to Kunti’s body type. Vemsani emphasizes that the ''Mahabharata'' explicitly describes Kunti as a woman of stunning beauty, and instead interprets the palm symbolism as reflecting her supportive hand and steadfast nature, aligning it with broader themes of motherhood and nurturing stability.{{sfn|Vemsani|2021|p=46}}<br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early life===<br /> Kunti, originally named Pritha, is born into the lineage of the [[Yadavas|Yadava clan]]. She is the eldest child of [[Shurasena]], a chief among the Yadavas and the father of several other children, most notably [[Vasudeva]], the father of [[Krishna]].{{sfn|Hiltebeitel|2011|p=388}}{{sfn|Bhattacharya|1971|p=21}}{{Refn|Kunti’s family is further detailed in the ''[[Bhagavata Purana]]'', a later text focusing primarily on the life of Krishna. According to this account, her mother is identified as Marisha, a princess of the [[Bhoja]] lineage. The text also states that Pritha has ten brothers and four sisters.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book |last=Tripathi |first=Kishori Sharan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g7Y2AAAAIAAJ&amp;q=kunti+marisa |title=A Cultural Study of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavata |date=1969 |publisher=Banaras Hindu Univ. |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;|group=note}} Shurasena had promised to give his eldest child to his childless cousin and close friend, [[Kuntibhoja]], who was the son of Shurasena’s paternal aunt. As a result, Pritha is given in adoption by Shurasena to Kuntibhoja.{{sfn|Hiltebeitel|2011|p=388}}{{Refn|While Kuntibhoja is initially introduced as childless, it is later revealed that he has sons—most notably his successor, Purujit—who participates in the [[Kurukshetra war]] on the side of the [[Pandavas]].{{sfn|Mani|1975|p=444}}|group=note}} Following the adoption, Pritha becomes known as Kunti and is raised in the royal household of Kuntibhoja, where she is trained in royal duties and received instruction in various disciplines, without a maternal presence. Later in life, Kunti reveals that she resents this act of adoption, recalling that she was merely playing with a ball when her father transferred her like wealth, and she felt humiliated by this decision of her family.{{sfn|Hiltebeitel|2011|p=388}}{{sfn|Bhattacharya|1971|p=21}}<br /> <br /> During her adolescence, Kuntibhoja entrusts her to the care of the powerful and temperamental sage [[Durvasa]], who arrives at the court seeking hospitality under strict conditions. Kuntibhoja, confident in his daughter's humility and devotion, promises that she will serve him faithfully. Aware of the potential consequences of offending such a volatile figure, Kuntibhoja sternly warns Kunti that any lapse in service could bring dishonour upon both his dynasty and her birth family. Despite the pressure, Kunti submits to her duties with remarkable discipline, attending to the sage with devotion, enduring his sharp speech and frequent criticisms without complaint. Over the course of a year, Kunti’s service gradually earns the satisfaction of the sage. Eventually, Durvasa offers her a boon. Though she initially expresses contentment in having pleased both him and her father, she ultimately accepts his insistence on granting her a ''[[mantra]]'' (incantation). The mantra enables her to summon any deity, who is then bound to appear and obey her command, whether willingly or not. Compelled by fear of his curse, she receives the spell. Following this, Durvasa departs, leaving Kuntibhoja astonished and deeply gratified by his daughter’s endurance and virtue.{{sfn|Bhattacharya|1971|p=21}}{{sfn|Buitenen|1975|p=784-791}}<br /> <br /> ===Birth of Karna===<br /> [[File:Sury_gives_boon_to_Kunti.jpg|alt=|left|303x303px|thumb|Kunti invokes Surya out of curiosity.]]<br /> Driven by a mixture of curiosity and youthful impulsiveness, she decides to test the ''mantra'' shortly after her first menstruation. Observing the radiant form of the sun at dawn, she invokes [[Surya]], the sun god. Surya appears, assuring Kunti that refusal is impossible, as a summoned deity must not return unsatisfied. Though she pleads with him to depart, declaring herself still an unmarried girl, Surya insists. He attempts to allay her fears by promising that her virginity will remain intact and that their son will be born with divine qualities.<br /> <br /> Compelled by divine persuasion and desire for Surya, Kunti consents under the condition that her son resembles his celestial father. Thus, Kunti becomes pregnant, which she hides from everyone. When the son is born, Surya's promise is fulfilled: [[Karna]] is born with golden armor and earrings, divine gifts signifying his celestial origin. Despite the miracle, Kunti, terrified of social shame and her family's disapproval, places the newborn in a basket and sets him adrift on the Ashvanadi river, lamenting the fate of the child and the unknown woman who would raise him.<br /> <br /> Karna is discovered and adopted by a charioteer [[Adhiratha]] and his wife [[Radha]], while Kunti returns to the palace, burdened with grief and secrecy. She remains a [[Panchakanya|kanya]]—a virgin girl—both in body and status, as Surya’s divine power leaves her visibly untouched, preserving her social reputation.<br /> <br /> === Marriage and children ===<br /> [[File:Raja Pandu and Matakunti LACMA M.69.13.6.jpg|thumb|A late 17th-century painting of Pandu and Kunti from [[Kashmir]]]]<br /> Kuntibhoja organised Kunti's [[swayamvara]].

When Pandu expressed to Kunti his despair at the prospect of dying childless, she mentioned the boon granted to her. He happily advised her to beget children by suitable, illustrious men. Thus, Kunti used the boon granted to her by Sage [[Durvasa]] to bear three sons—[[Yudhishthira]] by [[Yama (Hinduism)|Dharmaraja]] – [[deva (Hinduism)|god]] of Justice; [[Bhima]] by [[Vayu]] – god of [[wind]], and [[Arjuna]] by [[Indra]] – the king of [[Svarga]] (Heaven).

A. B. van Buitenen]], translator of the Critical Edition, Kunti is depicted largely self-effacing, conforming to her role as wife and mother, though she asserts herself at key moments.{{sfn|Buitenen|1973|p=16}} <br /> <br /> Pradip Bhattacharya, a scholar of the ''Mahabharata'' and author of ''Panchakanya: &quot;One-in Herself&quot; Why Kunti Remains a Kanya'', highlights her as a symbol of strong womanhood, noting her resolve, adaptability, and the critical role she played in her sons’ lives. Kunti’s agency is first demonstrated in her selection of [[Pandu]] at her [[svayamvara]] and her subsequent loyalty in following him into exile, despite his marriage to [[Madri]]. When Pandu requests that Kunti conceive sons through other men, she initially resists, revealing her personal integrity and resolve. She ultimately agrees, however, the choice of divine progenitors is not hers; it rests with Pandu, underlining the limitations of her autonomy within her marriage. Bhattacharya emphasizes her strength and strategic wisdom in managing this role, as she conceals her pre-marital son, [[Karna]], to safeguard Pandu’s honor and to preserve her reputation within the royal household. This contrasts her with her grandmother-in-law, [[Satyavati]], who called upon her pre-marital son [[Vyasa]] to extend the royal line of Hastinapura without hesitation. Her refusal to bear a fourth child, invoking scripture as justification, showcases her deep understanding of [[dharma]], which she uses both to assert her autonomy and to protect her dignity.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Within the complex social structure of the Hastinapura court, Kunti carefully navigates adversities, often relying on her confidant [[Vidura]]. Bhattacharya highlights her strategic acumen in orchestrating [[Draupadi|Draupadi’s]] marriage to all five Pandavas, ensuring unity among her sons and forestalling potential conflicts. This decision, based on customs of the “northern Kurus,” is portrayed as a calculated move that consolidates family loyalty by centering it around a single wife, underscoring Kunti’s commitment to her sons’ shared purpose. Her pragmatism as a mother is further reflected in her morally complex actions to protect her family’s welfare, as seen in her plea to Karna before the war, where she secures his promise to spare all the Pandavas except Arjuna. Though Karna rejects her, Kunti’s determination to shield her sons from harm exemplifies her selfless devotion and emotional resilience.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Kunti’s final retreat to the forest with [[Dhritarashtra]] and [[Gandhari (Mahabharata)|Gandhari]], after her sons’ victory, symbolises a profound act of renunciation. Bhattacharya interprets this as Kunti’s transcendence beyond worldly attachments and family ties, an act that affirms her as a “[[Panchakanya|kanya]]” or “one-in-herself”—a woman who has achieved independence of spirit and self-possession. Through this retreat, Kunti’s life comes full circle, as she embodies the archetype of the empowered single mother who navigates the vicissitudes of life with resilience and fortitude.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> {{Reflist|group=note}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> ===Bibliography===<br /> * {{Cite book |last=Buitenen |first=Johannes Adrianus Bernardus |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i8oe5fY5_3UC&amp;q=van+buiten+book+of+beginnings |title=The Mahābhārata: The Book Of Beginning |date=1973 |publisher=University of Chicago Press |isbn=978-0-226-84663-7 |language=en}}<br /> * {{Cite book |last=Buitenen |first=J.

[[Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya]], [[Mumbai]].]]<br /> The '''Rāüla vela''' is a poetic work composed in the ''circa'' late twelfth century by the poet Roḍa. It is preserved in a unique inscription from [[Dhar|Dhār]], [[Madhya Pradesh]], India, that is now kept in the [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya]] in Mumbai (number SI 9). The inscription was transferred to the museum from [[The Asiatic Society of Mumbai]].<br /> <br /> ==Language==<br /> The language of the poem imitates the characteristics of various contemporary dialects, but the underlying dialect represents a transitional stage between [[Apabhraṃśa]] and the earliest forms of [[Hindi]].&lt;ref&gt;Richard Salomon, ''Indian Epigraphy: A Guide to the Study of Inscriptions in Sanskrit, Prakrit, and the Other Indo-Aryan Languages'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), p. 103.&lt;/ref&gt; The inscription is, therefore, of first importance for the linguistic history of northern India. The text the poem was studied in depth and translated by [[Harivallabh Bhayani]].&lt;ref&gt;Harivallabh Chunilal Bhayani, ''Rāula-vela of Roḍa: a rare poem of c. twelfth century in early Indo-Aryan'' (Ahmedabad: Parshva Prakashan, 1994).&lt;/ref&gt; Detailed studies of the language were undertaken by Mātāprasāda Gupta &lt;ref&gt;Mātāprasāda Gupta, ''Rāula Vela aura usakī bhāṣā'' (Ilāhābāda: Mitra Prakāśana, 1965).&lt;/ref&gt; and subsequently by Kailaś Candra Bhāṭiyā.&lt;ref&gt;Kailāśa Candra Bhāṭiyā, ''Rāulavela: prārambhika Hindī kā pahalā śilāṅkita kāvya'' (Naī Dillī: Takshaśilā Prakāśana, 1983).&lt;/ref&gt; A further study of the inscription was published by Timothy Lenz in 1999.&lt;ref&gt;Timothy Lenz, &quot;A New Interpretation of the Rāula-Vela Inscription,&quot; in ''Studies in Early Modern Indo-Aryan Languages, Literature, and Culture : Research Papers, 1992-1994, Presented at the Sixth Conference on Devotional Literature in New Indo-Aryan Languages, Held at Seattle, University of Washington, 7–9 July 1994'', edited by A.

Estampage.]]<br /> <br /> ==Content and Genre==<br /> The ''Rāüla vela'' belongs to a poetic type known as ''Nakhaśikha'', well known from Sanskrit, Prakrit and the later literary tradition. The aim of these works was to present a poetic description of the glory, charms and beauty of the Nāyaka or Nāyīkā, along with an account of their costume, coiffure and ornaments. The long history of the genre begins with the description of Umā in the ''Kumārasaṃbhava'', and is elaborated in later languages, especially in the Vaiṣṇava tradition. The ''Rāüla vela'' is unique as the earliest ''Nakhaśikha'' in early new Indo-Aryan literature.&lt;ref&gt;Harivallabh Chunilal Bhayani, ''Rāula-vela of Roḍa: a rare poem of c. twelfth century in early Indo-Aryan'' (Ahmedabad: Parshva Prakashan, 1994): xxxiv&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Indian poems]]<br /> [[Category:12th-century poems]]</div>
