The '''2025 Indian Premier League''', also known as '''IPL 18''' and branded as '''TATA IPL 2025''', was the 18th edition of the [[Indian Premier League]], a professional [[Twenty20]] [[cricket]] league. The tournament featured 10 teams competing in 74 matches. It began on 22 March and was held across 13 venues before being suspended on 9 May due to the [[2025 India–Pakistan crisis]].

Each team played twice against the teams in their group and the team in the same row in the other group, and once against the remaining four teams in the other group.

'''M A Krishnadas''', also known as '''Tripunithura Krishnadas''' is an Indian musician. He is a well-known edaykkya (or [[Idakka]]) and [[chenda]] artist from [[Kerala]]. He is the best edaykkya player of modern Kerala.

== Music career ==
Krishnadas inherited the taste for music and talas from his illustrious family – Mundempilly Marath at Tripunithura. Born in 1955 as the son of Cherukkaraparambu Madathil Ananthan Embranthiri and Mundempilly Marath Karthyayani marasyar.
Krishnadas was inducted into this field since the age of five under the tutorship of Late Ramamangalam Rama Marar. Since then he has been in this field of art and music. Krishnadas had his first stage performance at [[Tripunithura]] [[Sree Poornathrayesa Temple]] in the age of eight.

M A Krishnadas was the first person to make edaykkya this simple to public and the first to introduce the instrument in the western field of music at a time when it was considered a taboo. He can play the instrument in any genres of music including classical, jazz, pop, western, etc. He is associated with the western troupes like Atma, [[Kochi]] and "The Banned", [[Chennai]] and has performed in their albums and various stage shows, apart from the humongous number of other classical and non-classical troupes or bands.

Referring to Krishnadas, [[Padma Bhushan]] recipient [[Dr. K. J. Yesudas|Dr. K.J. Yesudas]] said "It might not be off-beamed if I say Tripunithura Krishnadas is the single most Edaykkya player who plays the instrument in the most melodious and heart touching manner of all the players in this world". [[Dr. K. J. Yesudas]] discovered the talent in Krishnadas in the early 80s and mentored him all along.

==Awards and recognitions==

Krishnadas was the recipient of [[Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Academy]] award in the year 1992 for the best edaykkya artist in the state. He is also recipient of Junior fellowship from the [[Government of India]] in the year 1996.

He has been associated with [[Doordarshan]] and [[Akashavani]] through various programmes for over 30 years. He is a "Grade A" Edaykkya artist in [[Doordarshan]] and [[Akashavani]].

Krishnadas has rendered edaykkya recital as a solo as well as an accompanying instrument in 3000+ cassettes and over 60 Malayalam films, a unique achievement among the contemporary edaykkya artists.

He is a regular participant of International Music festival at Paris, held every summer along with being honoured as a senior edaykkya artist to participate in the Annual Chembai Music Festival (also called [[Chembai Sangeetholsavam]]) held every Nov–Dec in the holy shrine of [[Guruvayoor]] every year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y3uL-RIr5c |title=Chembai Festival |publisher=youtube.com |date= |accessdate=23 January 2011}}</ref>

In January 2011, the Govt of [[Kerala]] conferred him with the highest accolade for an instrument artist at the state level "[[Pallavur]] Appu Marar Award", for the excellence in the field of development of Edaykka and Chenda.

In Autumn 2011, the [[Kanchi]] Ashram of Sree [[Sankaracharya]] recognised his talent by giving him the title of Aasthana Vidwan, (presiding artist).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2011/02/11/stories/2011021151110200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110415131407/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2011/02/11/stories/2011021151110200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 April 2011 |title=Tripunithura Krishnadas|date=2011-02-11|work=[[The Hindu]] |accessdate=11 February 2011}}</ref>

The Rotary club of Kochi honoured him with the Vocational Excellence award in October 2012.

His most notable rendition is in the 1993 [[Malayalam]] super hit [[Devasuram]] where in [[Oduvil Unnikrishnan]] plays the instrument and sing a song to the ailing hero. The original score was sung by [[M. G. Radhakrishnan]], famous music director of Kerala, with Krishnadas playing edaykkya, eloquently as always, which made Krishndas very popular in the Kerala film industry and brought him huge accolade. This is still regarded as a masterpiece among the music fraternity in the [[Malayalam]] film industry.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU-XlDQTepM |title=Devasuram Scene |publisher=youtube.com |date= |accessdate=2 May 2007}}</ref>

Some of the notable films in which Krishnadas rendered his Scores of edaykkya:

[[Ashtapathi]]
[[Devasuram]]
[[Mayamayooram]]
[[Kalyana Raman]]
[[Vasanthiyum Laksmiyum Pinne Njanum]]
More recently in [[Urumi (film)|Urumi]]....

Krishnadas is a versatile percussionist known for adapting the edakka to diverse genres, including Carnatic, Hindustani, Jazz, and Pop.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2011/02/11/stories/2011021151110200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110415131407/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2011/02/11/stories/2011021151110200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 April 2011 |title=Tripunithura Krishnadas |date=2011-02-11|work=[[The Hindu]] |accessdate=11 February 2011}}</ref>

Krishnadas is believed to be the major pioneer inspiring the introduction and usage of edaykka with any genre of music, Carnatic classical, Hindustani, Pop, western, Jazz.

She is remembered in Meitei cultural memory as the figure whose deceitful actions led to the wrongful execution of Queen [[Khayoiron Tangja Samphabi]], sparking the Khuman–Meitei War.<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam">{{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.466183|title=History Of Old Manipuri Literature|last=Singh|first=Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam|language=mni}}</ref><ref name=":Manihar.

Akong Langmeisu's character shows the destructive consequences of palace intrigue, jealousy, and manipulation, and she remains one of the most controversial figures in [[early Meitei literature]] ([[old Manipuri literature]]).<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam" /><ref name=":Manihar. A History of Manipuri Literature" /><ref name=":Meidingu Thawanthaba" />

== Historical and literary context ==

Akong Langmeisu appears in the historical narrative Thawanthābā Hiran, a seminal literary work that blends history and drama in showing the 13th-century conflict between the [[Meitei dynasty|Meitei]] ([[Ningthouja]]) and [[Khuman dynasty|Khuman dynasties]]. Though a secondary character, her actions serve as a major catalyst for the events that follow.<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam" /><ref name=":Manihar. A History of Manipuri Literature" /><ref name=":Meidingu Thawanthaba" />

While the story is largely drawn from actual history, it is told through a literary lens, and Akong Langmeisu’s role is often interpreted symbolically, as a warning against envy and courtly deception.<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam" /><ref name=":Manihar. A History of Manipuri Literature" /><ref name=":Meidingu Thawanthaba" />

== Role in the tragedy ==

Akong Langmeisu was a maidservant of Queen Loibi Tharangamba, one of the queen consorts of King Thawanthaba. She is described as a tale-bearer and malicious courtier, motivated by jealousy or loyalty to her mistress. Her involvement in the tragedy began when she found a lost bunch of flowers, previously owned by the king’s younger brother Leishapamba Tougaingamba, a known admirer of flowers.<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam" /><ref name=":Manihar. A History of Manipuri Literature" /><ref name=":Meidingu Thawanthaba" />

Instead of returning the flowers to the real owner, she deliberately put them near the pillow of Queen [[Khayoiron Tangja Samphabi]], the Khuman princess recently married to the Meitei king's [[harem]]. Upon discovering the flowers, the Meitei king became consumed by jealousy, suspecting an illicit relationship between Samphabi and his brother.<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam" /><ref name=":Manihar. A History of Manipuri Literature" /><ref name=":Meidingu Thawanthaba" />

Despite the queen’s passionate pleas of innocence, Thawanthaba remained unmoved, and ordered her brutal execution. This act, based entirely on the false implication set by Langmeisu’s action, would go on to ignite the Khuman–Meitei War.<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam" /><ref name=":Manihar. A History of Manipuri Literature" /><ref name=":Meidingu Thawanthaba" />

Later in the narrative, Akong Langmeisu reappears unexpectedly in the dead of night, carrying a torch, and testifies falsely against Queen Samphabi. She swears that the flowers found near the queen’s bed closely resembled those worn by the prince, further sealing the queen's fate.<ref name=":Old Manipuri Literature_Khelchandra Ningthoukhongjam" /><ref name=":Manihar. A History of Manipuri Literature" /><ref name=":Meidingu Thawanthaba" />

'''''Barapasaurus''''' ({{IPAc-en|b|ə|ˌ|r|ɑː|p|ə|ˈ|s|ɔː|r|ə|s}} {{respell|bə|RAH|pə|SOR|əs}}) is a [[genus]] of [[Basal (phylogenetics)|basal]] [[sauropod]] [[dinosaur]] from [[Jurassic]] rocks of [[India]]. The only species is ''B. tagorei''. ''Barapasaurus'' comes from the lower part of the [[Kota Formation]], which is of [[Early Jurassic|Early]] to [[Middle Jurassic]] in age. It is therefore one of the earliest known sauropods. ''Barapasaurus'' is known from approximately 300 bones from at least six individuals, so that the skeleton is almost completely known except for the anterior [[cervical vertebrae]] and the [[skull]]. This makes ''Barapasaurus'' one of the most completely known sauropods from the Early Jurassic.

== Discovery and naming ==
All known fossils come from a single locality in the vicinity of the village of [[Pochampally]] (Pin Code: 442504), bordering Telangana (Pochampally [[Sironcha Taluka, Gadchiroli District]], Vidarbha, [[Maharastra]], in central [[India]]).<ref name="jain 1975"/> The first bones were discovered in 1958, but most specimens were unearthed in 1960 and 1961.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/> In 1975, the finds were described scientifically by palaeontologist [[Sohan Lal Jain]] and colleagues.<ref name="jain 1975"/> In 2010, a more detailed [[Osteology|osteological]] description was published by Bandyopadhyay and colleagues.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/> The material is archived in the palaeontological collection of the [[Indian Statistical Institute]] (ISI), while a majority of the bones are part of a mount at the Geological Museum of the ISI.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/>

=== Etymology ===
The name ''Barapasaurus'' ("big-legged lizard") is derived from ''bara'' meaning 'big' and ''pa'' meaning 'leg' in several Indian languages including Bengali; the [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] word ''sauros'' means '[[lizard]]'.<ref name="jain 1975"/> This name was used as a ''[[nomen nudum]]'' since a femur measuring over 1.7 m was unearthed at 1961.<ref name="jain 1975"/> The [[specific name (zoology)|specific name]] ''tagorei'' means 'Tagore's', which honours [[Bengalis|Bengali]] poet, writer, painter, and musician [[Rabindranath Tagore]]. The first year of fieldwork was carried out in the [[centenary]] year of Tagore's birth.<ref name="jain 1975"/>

==Fossil record==

''Barapasaurus tagorei'' is known from a large [[bone bed]] found in the Lower [[Kota Formation]], containing approximately 300 bones from at least six individuals of various ages. No remains of the skull, other than teeth, have been found.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/> The age of this fossil site is disputed, because no volcanic rocks whose age can be determined by [[radiometric dating]] are associated with the Kota Formation and its age can only be estimated by [[biostratigraphic]] comparisons to other rock layers, which is made difficult by the lack of reliable [[index fossils]] in the formation. The age has generally been interpreted as [[Early Jurassic]], with the Lower Kota Formation in particular dating to the [[Sinemurian]] to [[Pliensbachian]], roughly 184–200 million years ago. However, some studies have argued that the Kota Formation dates to the [[Middle Jurassic]] or even later.<ref name="parmar 2013"/><ref name="pol 2022"/>

=== Taphonomy ===
The approximately 300 bones were found together with large trunks of trees scattered over an area of 276 square meters. Although one of the specimens was found partly articulated, most bones were found disarticulated. Because there are six left femora, the total number of individuals is at least six.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/>

Bandyopadhyay and colleagues (2002, 2010) interpret this assemblage as a herd that died due to a catastrophic event, likely a [[flood]]. This flood could have unearthed the trees and transported both trees and ''Barapasaurus'' a distance before they began to [[decompose]]. After decomposition progressed, the bones began to disarticulate. The disarticulated skull bones were removed by the water stream because they were light, leaving only the heavy postcranial bones at the site, which would explain why no skull bones were found.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/>

== Description ==
[[File:Barapasaurus scale diagram.png|thumb|left|Size comparison of ''Barapasaurus tagorei'']]
Although a very early and unspecialised sauropod, ''Barapasaurus'' shows the building plan typical for later, more derived sauropods: the cervical vertebrae were elongated, resulting in a long neck. The trunk was short and holds columnar limbs which indicate an [[obligate]] [[Quadrupedalism|quadrupedal]] posture.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/><ref name="jain 1979"/> Even the size, which is estimated at {{convert|12 to 14|m|ft}} long and {{convert|7|t|ST}} in weight,<ref name="glut 1997"/><ref>{{Cite book |last=Paul |first=Gregory S. |author-link=Gregory S. Paul |title=The Princeton Field Guide To Dinosaurs |publisher=Princeton University Press |year=2010 |isbn=9780691137209 |location=New Jersey |pages=173}}</ref> is comparable with that of later sauropods.<ref name="jain 1979"/>

The [[vertebral column]] already shows many traits that are typical for later sauropods which allowed them to attain great body sizes, although in later sauropods these traits are much more developed. The central and neural spines show early hints of hollowing as a weight-saving measure. The [[dorsal vertebrae]] are stabilised with [[hyposphene-hypantrum articulation]]s, accessory projections that link the vertebrae with each other. The [[sacrum]] is strengthened through an additional fourth sacral vertebra.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/>

From the skull, only three whole [[Tooth|teeth]] and three crowns are known. The largest-known tooth is {{convert|5.8|cm|in}} in height. Like that of later sauropods, the teeth are spoon shaped and show wrinkled [[Tooth enamel|enamel]]. A basal trait is the coarse serration.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/>

The relationships of this genus within the Sauropoda are debated. When first described in 1975, it was not attributed to one specific group at all, although the presence of many basal, [[prosauropod]]-like features was noted.<ref name="jain 1975"/> Since 1984, ''Barapasaurus'' was united with another early sauropod, ''[[Vulcanodon]]'', in a family called [[Vulcanodontidae]], although this [[Family (biology)|family]] was declared invalid by [[Paul Upchurch]] in 1995 because it was recognised as [[polyphyletic]]. Upchurch erected a [[clade]] named [[Eusauropoda]] that includes all known sauropods except some very basal forms. While ''Vulcanodon'' was classified outside the Eusauropoda, ''Barapasaurus'' was classified inside it, which means that ''Barapasaurus'' is more derived than ''Vulcanodon''.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/><ref name="upchurch 1995"/> Although Upchurch's classification was accepted by most palaeontologists, a recent study from Bandyopadhyay and colleagues came to a contrary conclusion: these palaeontologists stated that ''Barapasaurus'' was in fact more basal than ''Vulcanodon'' and removed it from Eusauropoda.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/>

== Habitat ==
''Barapasaurus'' comes from clay and [[sandstone]] that belongs to the lower part of the [[Kota Formation]]. Other vertebrates of this part include another early sauropod, ''[[Kotasaurus]]'', as well as the [[mammal]]s ''[[Kotatherium]]'', ''[[Indotherium]]'' and ''[[Indozostrodon]]''. The upper part of the Kota Formation additionally contained a [[pterosaur]] (''[[Campylognathoides]]''), a [[turtle]], two [[rhynchocephalia]]ns, a [[lepidosaur]] and some mammals.<ref name="bandyopadhyay 2010"/>

== Plot ==
In [[Goa]], six dead bodies are washed ashore, where the [[Indian Police Service|police department]] deduces that Jothi, a drug lord, is responsible for the mess. The police is unable to capture him for nearly a decade because not a single person has seen him in person, as he is constantly on the move and has no permanent aides or accomplices. Chitti is in charge of the drug trafficking in and around Goa. One day, he receives a call from Jothi about a missing drug consignment. Chitti and his men are unable to hunt down the culprit, where it is revealed that Shiva is the mastermind behind the drug theft and is working for Chitti as his most trusted henchman. Chitti, along with his nephew Guru and Shiva, runs a crime syndicate in Goa.

In a turn of events, Shiva is actually Arul, an [[secret police|undercover officer]] who is assigned to expose Jothi and his entire drug cartel. He receives instructions from his superior officers Bharathi Chandrasekar and Benjamin Vas and informs them of his gang's activities from time to time. Arul is into this mission, along with his best friend and colleague Karthik, who also takes a stage name as Malik and works for Sharma, another drug lord from [[Gujarat]], who has 1000 kilograms of pure cocaine and is looking for a buyer. The plan of Bharathi, Benjamin, and their team is to make Sharma and Jothi meet each other for the transaction of the 1000 kilograms of cocaine and arrest them.

Arul informs Bharathi that Sharma and Jothi are planning a trial with just 100 kilograms of cocaine, and if all goes well, they will deal with the remaining 900 kilograms. Bharathi and her team wisely plan to capture the huge bulk of 900 kilograms of drugs, along with Sharma and Jothi, so they have to leave the first trial transaction unmonitored. However, all plans go awry when Bharathi's jealous boss disagrees with her plan and conducts a raid for the trial [[Financial transaction|transaction]] at the last moment. The raid exposes Karthik's identity, who is taken to Chitti's place and tortured by Guru and his gang to reveal the identity of any other man working with him.

Unable to bear the pain, Karthik reveals Arul's identity. Guru informs Chitti about Arul's true identity. When they attempt to kill him, Arul guns down Chitti and starts eliminating all the gang members, including Guru. Soon, Arul finds Karthik, but the latter dies within moments. Jothi is now aware of the death of Chitti and his entire crew and uses his influence on the police to bring Arul into his custody. The police force and Jothi's men join hands and hunt for Arul. Arul, all alone on this mission, continues his own plan to expose Jothi and gets himself captured on purpose. Now that he has nothing to lose, he plans to play a final game of chance to meet Jothi face-to-face, earn his trust, and join as a henchman again. Arul is the only survivor of the shootout at Chitti's place, and so only his account to Jothi will earn his trust.

Arul is brought to Jothi and cleverly convinces him, but only to an extent. He tells Jothi that his former partner-turned-archenemy Rane is responsible for the drug theft and shootout at Chitti's place. Jothi had thought Rane was dead, but Rane is actually alive and is plotting his vengeance. Jothi is still sceptical, so Arul is given two days to prove that Rane is alive and has done everything. Arul succeeds by getting help from a prostitute whom he helped earlier. Arul places all the stolen drugs at Rane's house and leads Jothi's men there, and they find the lost drugs. Jothi asks his men to kill Rane and his gang. Arul cleverly does certain manipulations, kills Rane and his men, and places his own guns in Rane's hands. This leads Jothi and his men to believe that Rane's gun and the one used in the shootout at Chitti's place are the same.

The gun is also sent for ballistic testing to verify Arul's story, which they all believe is true. Jothi asks Arul to join his gang and meet him at a secluded place. When Arul waits for the opportunity to gun down Jothi, he gets beaten up by his men. It is then revealed that Arul's neighbor Usha, who was in love with him, had been secretly recording videos of him for her to admire, but her phone falls into the hands of Jothi's men. They find out who Arul has been meeting and dealing with so far, and learn he is also an undercover cop. As a result, Bharathi and Benjamin are assassinated by Jothi's men.

Jothi and his men beat Arul savagely, keep him bound in a harbour, and ask him the whereabouts of Sharma's remaining 900 kilograms of cocaine. Arul whispers the location, and as Jothi comes closer to hear him, Arul spits a blade into his eyes. When all of Jothi's men are distracted, Arul escapes from his captors and kills them, leaving Jothi alone, and arrests him. Since no one alive has seen Jothi in person, his arrest is unavoidable, and no [[Undue influence|political influence]] will work out. Arul rejects Usha's proposal and asks her to focus on her life. He then moves on to his next mission, where he kills Sharma and seizes the remaining 900 kilograms of cocaine.

== Critical reception ==
[[Baradwaj Rangan]] wrote for ''[[The Hindu]]'', "the younger Tamil directors are slowly adopting the Hollywood model, which is the only model that works when it comes to gritty action-adventures...The plotting is pretty tight...More impressively, the director doesn’t seek to pander to family audiences. He understands that a certain amount of brutality is necessary in these films, and he unleashes scenes of corpse-kicking and chainsaw-abetted-limb-hacking and a scene with a maimed eyeball that probably has Buñuel chuckling".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rangan |first=Baradwaj |author-link=Baradwaj Rangan |date=25 December 2014 |title=Meaghamann:A pretty decent Action-adventure |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/meaghamann-review-a-pretty-decent-actionadventure/article6725432.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031054226/https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/meaghamann-review-a-pretty-decent-action-adventure/article10958210.ece |archive-date=31 October 2020 |access-date=15 January 2015 |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref> M.

==Plot==
Madhav is a new student of a college in Hyderabad. He spots a beautiful girl Shalini and falls in love with her. Madhav is calm but Shalini is short-tempered. She gets into a fight with an eve teaser whose father happens to be a notorious faction leader. When Madhav confronts the leader, it is revealed that Madhav is the son of Manohar, a successful industrialist.

A flashback episode begins and it is revealed that Manohar wants Madhav to select a bride for himself. Madhav feels that girls want to marry him only because he is the son of a billionaire. He asks his father to give him a year's time so that he will join a college in Hyderabad as a normal student and select a girl who loves him truly. When Shalini rejects Madhav's proposal, he asks her to act as his lover for thirty days and he says that she would automatically fall in love. Shalini accepts the offer and starts acting as his lover for thirty days. After thirty days, Shalini tells Madhav that she is not in love with him. Deep inside, she begins to like him, but she suppresses her feelings due to her preconceived notion of not falling in love. After much rethinking, she decides to express her love. Her plans are spoilt when she learns that Madhav is the son of a billionaire. She thinks that Madhav might misunderstand her and feel she changed her mind after realizing that he is the son of a wealthy tycoon. What eventually happens between the two forms the climax of the movie.

Prayer in Hinduism

{{Short description|Integral part of the Hinduism}}
{{More citations needed|date=January 2015}}
{{Hinduism small}}

'''Prayer''' ({{langx|sa|प्रार्थना|prārthanā}}) is considered to be an integral part of the [[Hinduism|Hindu]] religion; it is practiced during Hindu worship (''[[Puja (Hinduism)|puja]]'') and is an expression of devotion (''[[Bhakti]]''). The chanting of ''[[mantras]]'' is the most popular form of worship in Hinduism. The [[Vedas]] are liturgical texts (mantras and hymns). Stuti is an umbrella term for religious literary creations, but it literally means "praise."

The Hindu devotional Bhakti traditions place a focus on repetitive prayer, known as japa. Prayer is centred on the personal forms of gods and goddesses, such as Vishnu's avatars, most notably [[Rama]] and [[Krishna]], [[Shiva]], or Shiva's sons such as [[Kartikeya]] and [[Ganesha]], as well as [[Mahadevi]], the supreme goddess, and her forms, such as [[Lakshmi]] or [[Kali]].

The human aspire to the highest truth, the underlying monism of [[Hinduism]], pertaining ultimately to the one [[Brahman]], began before the ritual process, before the invocation of diverse deities for the fulfilment of varied needs. The [[Gayatri Mantra]] was part of all Vedic ceremonies and is still invoked in Hindu temples all over India and other countries around the world today, exemplifying its essence.

== Bhakti yoga ==
{{Main|Bhakti yoga}}
{{norefs|section|date=August 2021}}
Described in the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]'', ''bhakti yoga'' is the path of love and devotion. On ''bhakti yoga'':
{{quote|
".... those who, renouncing all actions in Me, and regarding Me as the Supreme, worship Me... of those whose thoughts have entered into Me, I am soon the deliverer from the ocean of death and transmigration, Arjuna. Keep your mind on Me alone, your intellect on Me. Thus you shall dwell in Me hereafter."|[[Bhagavad Gita]], Chapter 12, Verses 6-8}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chapter 12: Bhakti Yog - Bhagavad Gita, The Song of God – Swami Mukundananda |url=https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/12/ |access-date=2026-03-07 |website=www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org}}</ref>
It is essentially the process of enlightenment found through worship of the Devas (or Devi, the feminine form of Deva), in whatever form one envisions. Prayer is achieved through [[Puja (Hinduism)|''puja'']] (worship) done either at the family shrine or a local temple. We can see from Krishna's injunction that prayer is fundamental to Hinduism, that to dwell constantly on the Divine is key to enlightenment. Prayer repetition (through mantras) using [[Japamala|''mala'']]s (Hindu prayer beads) are a strong part of Hinduism.

The devotionalist [[Bhakti movement]] originates in [[South India]] in the Early Middle Ages, and by the Late Middle Ages spread throughout the subcontinent, giving rise to [[Sant Mat]] and [[Gaudiya Vaishnavism]].{{Cn|date=May 2024}}

== Mantras ==
{{Main|Mantra#Hinduism}}

=== Gayatri mantra ===
{{main|Gayatri mantra}}

The Gayatri mantra is Hinduism's most representative prayer. Many [[Hindus]] recite it on a daily basis, not only contemplating its straightforward meaning, but also dwelling on and imbibing its sound, regarded to be pregnant with spiritual meaning. For this reason nearly all Hindu prayers and mantras are sung. The Gayatri mantra was first recorded in the [[Rigveda]]{{efn|Rigveda 3.62.10}} which was composed in [[Sanskrit]] about 2500 to 3500 years ago, and by some reports, the mantra may have been chanted for many generations before that.{{sfnp|Agrawal|2012}}

'''''Bhakta Prahlada''''' ({{translation|''Prahlada, the Devotee''}}) is a 1967 Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[devotional film]] directed by [[Chitrapu Narayana Rao]] based on a script by [[D. V. Narasa Raju]]. It stars [[S. V. Ranga Rao]] and [[Anjali Devi]]. [[Roja Ramani]], in her film debut, plays the [[title character]]. ''Bhakta Prahlada'' is produced on the [[AVM Productions]] banner by [[A. V. Meiyappan]] and his sons, M. Murugan, M. Kumaran and [[M. Saravanan (producer)|M. Saravanan]]. The film is based on the legend of [[Prahlada]], a character in ''[[Bhagavata Purana]]'' known for his devotion to the Hindu god [[Vishnu]].

''Bhakta Prahlada'' is the third Telugu film based on Prahlada, after the [[Bhakta Prahlada (1932 film)|1932]] and [[Bhakta Prahlada (1942 Telugu film)|1942]] films of the same name. Unlike the earlier two, which were filmed in black-and-white, this version was shot in [[Eastman Color Negative]] film. Its script was completed by May 1965. Since ''Bhakta Prahlada'' and ''[[Ave Kallu]]'' were simultaneously produced by AVM Productions, [[principal photography]] and [[post-production]] were delayed and lasted for one-and-a-half years.

''Bhakta Prahlada'', released on 12 January 1967, was a commercial success and completed a hundred-day run in theatres. It received the [[Nandi Award for Best Feature Film|Nandi Award for Third Best Feature Film]]. The film was mostly dubbed into [[Tamil language|Tamil]] with the same title and into [[Hindi]] (as ''Bhakt Prahlad'') that year, with small changes in the cast.

== Plot ==
The [[Four Kumaras]] visit [[Vaikuntha]], the abode of [[Vishnu]]. [[Jaya-Vijaya]], the demigod gatekeepers of Vaikuntha, fail to recognise them and deny them entry. The Kumaras curse the pair, saying that they would have to give up divinity, be born and live as mortal beings on Earth. Vishnu fails to remove the curse, and offers two solutions: be Vishnu's devotees in seven human lives, or his enemies in three demonic lives. Jaya-Vijaya cannot bear separation from Vishnu for so long, and choose the latter.

In their first demonic lives, Jaya-Vijaya are born as [[Hiranyakashipu]] and [[Hiranyaksha]] to the sage [[Kashyapa]] and Earth goddess [[Diti]] at sunset during an inauspicious time. Hiranyaksha, in an attempt to win over the deities, torments the Earth and its inhabitants. [[Bhūmi|Bhudevi]], the Earth goddess, goes to Vaikuntha and seeks Vishnu's help. Vishnu arrives as [[Varaha]], a [[wild boar]]-faced [[Dashavatara|avatar]], kills Hiranyaksha and saves the Earth. Seeking revenge for his brother's death, Hiranyakashipu prays to [[Brahma]] for immortality. He becomes immune to being killed by various factors, including by man or beast.

[[Indra]], king of the deities, tries to kill Hiranyakashipu's wife Leelavathi and her unborn child. The sage [[Narada]] intervenes and brings Leelavathi to his hermitage, where she gives birth to a boy named [[Prahlada]]. Hiranyakashipu invades Vaikuntha, but cannot find Vishnu. Proclaiming himself king of all the celestial worlds, he returns to Earth. The deities approach Vishnu, who promises to kill Hiranyakashipu at the appropriate time.

Five years later, Prahlada is sent to the hermitage of Chanda-Amarka (the children of Hiranyakashipu's master) for his education. After returning from the hermitage, Hiranyakashipu learns that Prahlada has become a staunch devotee of Vishnu and calls the deity [[Hari|Srihari]]. Hiranyakashipu explains to Prahlada that Srihari was responsible for Hiranyaksha's death (and is their enemy), and asks him to stop worshipping Srihari. Prahlada politely declines.

Hiranyakashipu then makes several attempts to kill his son, hoping that the fear of death would make Prahlada stop praying to Srihari. Prahlada is starved, and imprisoned in a dark room. When he refuses to relent, Hiranyakashipu orders his soldiers to force elephants to trample Prahlada; when that fails, they throw the boy off a steep cliff. Srihari rescues Prahlada; the soldiers then summon a group of snake charmers and ask them to harm Prahlada with snakes. The boy prays to Srihari, and the snakes become garlands of roses. Shocked, the snake charmers beg Prahlada to bring the snakes back; he prays to Srihari, who restores the snakes. The snake charmers declare Prahlada their leader, further angering Hiranyakashipu.

He then orders his soldiers to tie Prahlada's hands and feet and throw him into the sea. Convinced that the boy is dead, Hiranyakashipu laments killing his son to avenge his brother's death and the fact that the child had more love for Srihari than for him. Prahlada is rescued by Srihari, who sends him back home. Initially happy to see the boy alive, Hiranyakashipu is angry that his son still worships Srihari. Narada confirms to Hiranyakashipu that Srihari is saving Prahlada, adding that he resides in the boy, whose death would defeat him.

In a final attempt, Hiranyakashipu orders Prahlada to drink poisoned milk in front of him. The boy drinks it and survives, making Hiranyakashipu believe that his death has arrived in the form of his son. When Hiranyakashipu asks Prahlada about Srihari's abode, the boy replies that he is omnipresent. Hiranyakashipu then breaks a pillar with his mace, summoning Srihari out of it. Srihari arrives as [[Narasimha]] (another avatar of Vishnu with a man's torso and a lion's face), and kills Hiranyakashipu. Narasimha's anger is cooled by Prahlada and the deities, who praise him in song and ask him to re-appear as Srihari. Vishnu appears, crowns Prahlada as king of the demons, and advises him to lead a virtuous life as a ruler.

[[T. S. Balaiah]] and [[A. Karunanidhi]] played the role of Prahlada's mentors in the Tamil version. [[Rajendra Nath]] played the same role, named Dhumal, in the Hindi version.

== Production ==
=== Development ===
A fan of stories based on children, [[AVM Productions]] founder [[A. V. Meiyappan]] wanted to produce a film based on the legend of [[Prahlada]] (a character in ''[[Bhagavata Purana]]'' known for his devotion to the Hindu god [[Vishnu]]) with his sons M. Kumaran, [[M. Saravanan (producer)|M. Saravanan]] and M. Murugan.<ref name="The Hindu" /> Encouraged by the success of ''[[Naadi Aada Janme]]'' (1965), the Telugu remake of his Tamil production ''[[Naanum Oru Penn]]'' (1963), Meiyappan decided to produce ''Bhaktha Prahlada'' in Telugu.<ref name="Sithara1" /> According to Kumaran, Meiyappan believed that mythological films were more appreciated by the Telugu audience than they were by the Tamil diaspora.<ref name="The Hindu" />

[[D. V. Narasa Raju]] wrote the film's story and screenplay, since Meiyappan wanted a more contemporary and dramatic approach.<ref name="Sithara1" /> Unlike the [[Bhakta Prahlada (1932 film)|1932]] and [[Bhakta Prahlada (1942 Telugu film)|1942]] Telugu films of the same name which were filmed in black-and-white, Meiyappan wanted this version to be filmed in colour.<ref name="The Hindu" /> [[Chitrapu Narayana Rao]], who directed the 1942 film, approached Meiyappan in May 1965 and asked to direct a film. Meiyappan signed him as director for ''Bhaktha Prahlada'', since Narayana Rao was in financial straits due to the failure of his ''Krishna Kuchela'' (1961).<ref name="The Hindu" /> [[S. Rajeswara Rao]] composed the film's soundtrack and background score. [[A. Vincent]] handled the cinematography, R. Vittal edited the film and A. K. Sekhar was its art director.<ref name="songbook" /><ref name="Andhra Bhoomi" />

=== Casting ===
[[S. V. Ranga Rao]] and [[Anjali Devi]] were cast as the demon king [[Hiranyakashipu]] and his wife, Leelavathi (Kayadhu in ''Bhagavata Purana'').<ref name="Sithara1" /> The producers held an audition for the role of Prahlada, inviting many children in and around Madras (now Chennai) to AVM Studios. [[Roja Ramani]] was cast as Prahlada after a screen test and a song rehearsal in which she held a live snake.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nakul |first=VG |date=1 October 2018 |title=Yesteryear Telugu diva recalls unexpected film debut 50 yrs ago |work=[[Malayala Manorama]] |url=https://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/interview/2018/10/01/yesteryear-telugu-diva-roja-ramani-recalls-film-debut.html |url-status=live |access-date=20 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190420154427/https://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/interview/2018/10/01/yesteryear-telugu-diva-roja-ramani-recalls-film-debut.html |archive-date=20 April 2019}}</ref> She was recommended to Meiyappan by her father Satyam's employer, an editor of the now-defunct magazine ''Cinema Rangam'' in Madras.<ref name="Sithara1" /> Since Ramani was pale and thin, the producers approached a nutritionist to help her meet the role's requirements.<ref name="Sithara1" />

Singer [[M. Balamuralikrishna]] was cast as the sage [[Narada]],<ref name="The Hindu" /> making his acting debut in film.<ref>{{Cite news |date=22 November 2016 |title=Remembering legendary Carnatic musician M Balamuralikrishna: Rare and unseen photographs |work=[[The Indian Express]] |url=https://indianexpress.com/photos/lifestyle-gallery/m-balamuralikrishna-legendary-carnatic-musician-in-memoriam-4389956/ |url-status=live |access-date=2 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190502152443/https://indianexpress.com/photos/lifestyle-gallery/m-balamuralikrishna-legendary-carnatic-musician-in-memoriam-4389956/ |archive-date=2 May 2019}}</ref> When his choice was criticised (because of Balamuralikrishna's height), Meiyappan retorted that the casting was apt since the role would be used for comic effect.<ref name="The Hindu" /> [[Haranath (actor)|Haranath]] played the role of Vishnu.<ref name="T Today" /> [[Relangi (actor)|Relangi]] and [[Padmanabham (actor)|Padmanabham]] were cast as Prahlada's teachers, Chanda and Amarka.<ref name="Sithara1" /> [[Ramana Reddy]] and [[T. Kanakam]] were signed as snake charmers for a key scene.<ref name="Andhra Bhoomi" /> [[L. Vijayalakshmi]] played the royal dancer in Hiranyakashipu's court; Shanta, [[Vijaya Lalitha]], Gitanjali, and [[Vennira Aadai Nirmala]] were cast as the [[apsara]]s (celestial dancers) [[Rambha (apsara)|Rambha]], [[Urvashi]], [[Menaka]] and [[Tilottama]], respectively.<ref name="Andhra Bhoomi" />

=== Filming ===
''Bhaktha Prahlada'' was shot in [[Eastman Color Negative]] film,<ref name="T Today" /> and was AVM's second colour film, after ''[[Anbe Vaa (1966 film)|Anbe Vaa]]'' (1966).{{sfn|Saravanan|2013|p=191}} Although the script was completed by May 1965, the [[principal photography]] and [[post-production]] phases lasted for one-and-a-half years.<ref name="Sithara1" /> Meiyappan produced another Telugu film, ''[[Ave Kallu]]'' (a remake of his 1967 Tamil production ''[[Athey Kangal (1967 film)|Athey Kangal]]''), simultaneously with ''Bhaktha Prahlada''.<ref name="Sithara1" /> His sons were more interested in ''Ave Kallu'' than ''Bhaktha Prahlada'', uncertain of the latter's commercial viability. When Sekhar showed the set designs to Meiyappan and his sons before building them, they rejected them in favour of ''Ave Kallu''. Filming was delayed, and the cast and crew became impatient and frustrated towards the end of production.<ref name="Sithara1" />

During filming, Ramani was trained by "Rangoon" Ramarao (who played Amarka in the 1942 film) in dialogue diction.<ref name="Andhra Bhoomi" /> In the scene where the snake charmers place a snake on Prahlada's shoulders, a trained wheat-coloured snake was used during rehearsals and a black cobra was chosen for the filming.<ref name="The Hindu" /> For the scene where elephants are forced to trample Prahlada, a child stunt artiste from the Great Oriental Circus was initially engaged as Ramani's double. The child was dismissed when Ramani began crying, however, and she performed the scene herself.<ref name="The Hindu" /> Balamuralikrishna remembered filming a scene as Narada: "I had to stand on a stool without proper balancing, and I go up (into the "sky") as someone raises it up on a jack. I precariously stand there with a fear that I'd fall off the stool but I should not show it in my face – I should instead sing with a smiling face!"<ref>{{Cite web |last=NaChaKi |date=22 November 2016 |title=From The Archives: TC.com's Interview with Mangalampalli |url=https://www.telugucinema.com/archives-tccoms-interview-mangalampalli |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190605092544/https://www.telugucinema.com/archives-tccoms-interview-mangalampalli |archive-date=5 June 2019 |access-date=7 July 2019 |website=[[Telugucinema.com]]}}</ref>

Narayana Rao was reluctant to direct the film's climactic scene, since he could not forget Hiranyakashipu's death scene in a stage play in where the actor playing Narasimha was emotionally involved.<ref name="The Hindu" /> Murugan directed the scene according to Meiyappan's wishes,<ref name="The Hindu" /> and a double was engaged for Ranga Rao for the climactic scene. Meiyappan, dissatisfied with the overall result, took close-up shots of Ranga Rao to make the scene look authentic.<ref name="Sithara1" /> Gopalakrishnan and K. S. Reddy choreographed the film's dance scenes.<ref name="Sithara2" /> According to cinematographer A.

== Plot ==
Footfairy begins with the murder of Rita Madhav, whose body is discovered in a red suitcase, her feet missing. Inspector Vivaan (Gulshan Devaiah) is assigned to investigate the case, which is the latest in a string of killings by a serial killer dubbed "Footfairy." The killer targets women near railway tracks, leaving their bodies mutilated.

Vivaan meets pediatrician Devika, who shares her knowledge of psychopathy, and they soon begin dating. The investigation leads the police to a suspect, Joshua (Kunaal Roy Kapur), a restaurant owner with a foot fetish and a history of violent tendencies. However, despite circumstantial evidence, they cannot definitively prove his guilt. When Vivaan’s neighbor becomes the next victim, he violently interrogates Joshua, but DNA evidence exonerates him. Joshua sues the police for defamation, and the case stalls as the killings mysteriously stop when Joshua leaves town.

Seven years later, Vivaan has left the police force, married Devika, and started a security agency. A chance encounter with a child at the railway tracks reveals that the real Footfairy is still at large. The film ends with the suggestion that the killer has moved to another country, as shown in the final scene where a similar murder occurs abroad.

== Reception ==
Rishita Roy Chowdhury for ''[[India Today]]'' rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Footfairy is paced impressively. As soon as one attempts to crack the identity of the serial killer, the story turns. One is kept guessing throughout the run of the film, until the very closing scene."<ref>{{cite news |last=Roy Chowdhury |first=Rishita |title=Footfairy Movie Review: Gulshan Devaiah, Sagarika Ghatge film is a serial thriller |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/footfairy-movie-review-gulshan-devaiah-sagarika-ghatge-film-is-a-serial-thriller-1734455-2020-10-23 |access-date=28 December 2022 |work=[[India Today]] |date=4 November 2020 |language=en |archive-date=28 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221228123440/https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/footfairy-movie-review-gulshan-devaiah-sagarika-ghatge-film-is-a-serial-thriller-1734455-2020-10-23 |url-status=live}}{{rating|4|5}}</ref> Moumita Bhattacharjee of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' found ''Footfairy'' an "intriguing and shocking". She further wrote, "The performances are nuanced and not a single character is without a purpose. Gulshan Devaiah takes time to grow on you because he isn't the usual brooding police officer with a dark past. There's no back story here, just the investigation."<ref>{{cite news |last=Bhattacharjee |first=Moumita |title=Footfairy review |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/footfairy-review/20201023.htm |access-date=28 December 2022 |work=[[Rediff.com]] |date=23 October 2020 |language=en |archive-date=28 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221228124026/https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/footfairy-review/20201023.htm |url-status=live}}{{rating|4.5|5}}</ref>

Conversely, Ruchi Kaushal of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' felt upset about the disappointing ending and writes, "Even if the maker wants to not just highlight the obsession of the footfairy but also of a CBI officer obsessed with finding the culprit, the film feels pointless".<ref>{{cite news |last=Kaushal |first=Ruchi |title=Footfairy movie review: Gulshan Devaiah-starrer murder mystery aims big, achieves little |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/footfairy-movie-review-gulshan-devaiah-starrer-murder-mystery-aims-big-achieves-little/story-NWNeUvW9QwJUqOna4GBEoJ.html |access-date=28 December 2022 |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=24 October 2020 |language=en |archive-date=28 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221228130614/https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/footfairy-movie-review-gulshan-devaiah-starrer-murder-mystery-aims-big-achieves-little/story-NWNeUvW9QwJUqOna4GBEoJ.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

The '''Changpa''', or '''Champa''', are a semi-nomadic [[Tibetan people]] found mainly in the [[Changtang]] plateau in [[Ladakh]], [[India]]. A smaller number resides in the western regions of the [[Tibet Autonomous Region]] and were partially relocated for the establishment of the [[Changtang Nature Reserve]]. By 1989, there were half a million nomads living in the Changtang area.<ref name=GoldBeal>{{cite book |last1=Goldstein |first1=Melvyn |last2=Beal |first2=Cynthia |name-list-style=amp |year=1991|title=Nomads of Western Tibet |location=Berkeley, CA, USA |publisher=University of California Press |page=60 |isbn=0-520-07211-1}}</ref>

== Changpa of the Tibet Autonomous Region ==
The homeland of the Changpa is a high-altitude [[plateau]] known as the [[Changtang]], which forms a portion of western and northern Tibet extending to southeastern Ladakh, and ''Changpa'' means "northerners" in [[Standard Tibetan|Tibetan]].<ref name=Rizvi301>{{cite book |last=Rizvi |first=Janet |year=1999 |title=Trans-Himalayan Caravans |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=301 |isbn=0-19-564855-2}}</ref> Unlike many other nomadic groups in Tibet, the Changpa are not under pressure from settled farmers as the vast majority of land they inhabit is too inhospitable for farming.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Changtang Plateau |url=https://www.tibettravel.org/tibet-travel-guide/qiang-tang-grassland.html |access-date=2022-03-06 |website=Tibet Travel and Tours - Tibet Vista |language=en}}</ref>

Most of the Tibetan Changtang is now protected by means of nature reserves consisting of the [[Chang Tang Nature Reserve]], the second-largest nature reserve in the world, and four new adjoining smaller reserves totalling 496,000 km<sup>2</sup> (191,507 sq. miles) of connected Nature Reserves, which represents an area almost as large as [[Spain]] and bigger than 197 countries. Since the reserves were established, there has been a welcome increase in the number of endangered species. The protected areas stretch across parts of the [[Tibet Autonomous Region]], [[Xinjiang]] and [[Qinghai]] in [[China]].<ref name=GoldBeal/>

The Changpa of [[Ladakh]] are high-altitude pastoralists, raising mainly yaks and goats. Among the Ladakh Changpa, those who are still nomadic are known as '''Phalpa''' and they take their herds from the Hanley Valley to the village of Lato. Hanley is home to six isolated settlements, where the sedentary Changpa, the '''Fangpa''', reside. Despite their different lifestyles, both these groups intermarry. The Changpa speak [[Lahuli-Spiti language|Changskhat]], a dialect of [[Standard Tibetan|Tibetan]], and practice [[Tibetan Buddhism]].<ref>{{cite book |chapter=Champa |first=B.R |last=Rizvi |title=People of India Jammu and Kashmir |series=People of India |volume=XXV |editor1=K.N Pandita |editor2=S.D.S Charak |editor3=B.R Rizvi |name-list-style=amp |year=2003 |pages=182–184 |location=New Delhi |publisher=Manohar |isbn=8173041180}}</ref>

Only a small part of Changthang crosses the border into Ladakh, in the [[India]]n union territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. It is, however, on a historically important route for travelers journeying from Ladakh to [[Lhasa]], and now has many different characteristics due to being part of India. Historically, the Changpa of Ladakh would migrate with their herds into Tibet, but with the Chinese takeover of Tibet, this route has been closed.<ref name=Rizvi301/>

As of 2001, the Changpa are classified as a [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Scheduled Tribe]] under the [[Reservation in India|Indian government's reservation program]] of [[affirmative action]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Census of India: Government of India |url=http://censusindia.gov.in/Tables_Published/SCST/scst_main.html |date=7 March 2007 |title=List of Scheduled Tribes |access-date=27 November 2012 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100605042409/http://censusindia.gov.in/Tables_Published/SCST/scst_main.html |archive-date=5 June 2010 }}</ref>

==Changpa and their goats==
For many Changpa, rearing of animals and consuming and selling their produce (milk and its products, hair and meat) is their only means of livelihood.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=atlasofhumanity.com |title=Changpa People of Ladakh, India |url=https://www.atlasofhumanity.com/changpa |access-date=2022-03-06 |website=Atlas Of Humanity |language=en}}</ref>

The Changpa rear the highly pedigreed and prized [[Changthangi|Changra goats]] (''Capra hircus'') that yield the rare Pashmina (Cashmere) fibre. The Changra goats are not raised for their meat but for their fibre (pashm). The pashmina fibre (Pashm in [[Persian language|Persian]]) is the finest fibre of all goat hair.<ref name=":0" />

==Documentary==
A documentary, ''[[Riding Solo to the Top of the World]]'', was directed by Gaurav Jani. Another documentary, ''The Nomadic Night'', depicting the life of the Changpa, was directed by [[:fr:Marianne_Chaud|Marianne Chaud]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Jani |first=Gaurav |title=Riding Solo to the Top of the World |date=2006-11-01 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903013/ |type=Documentary |publisher=Dirt Track Productions |access-date=2022-03-06}}</ref>

==Career==

Prema began her career in the [[Dr. Rajkumar|Rajkumar]] camp in 1995 starring opposite [[Shivarajkumar]] in ''[[Savyasachi (1995 film)|Savyasachi]]'' and [[Raghavendra Rajkumar]] with ''[[Aata Hudugata]]'' respectively. Though both films did not perform well at the box-office, she was given the lead role in another Shivarajkumar starrer ''[[Om (1995 film)|Om]]'' directed by [[Upendra (actor)|Upendra]]. The film turned out to be a blockbuster and also got her the Karnataka State Award for Best Actress.

In 1996 she acted in the [[Sunil Kumar Desai]] directed ''[[Nammoora Mandara Hoove]]'' co-starring [[Shivarajkumar]] and [[Ramesh Aravind]]. She also made her Malayalam debut with ''[[The Prince (1996 film)|The Prince]]'' opposite [[Mohanlal]], directed by Tamil director [[Suresh Krissna]] fresh from the success of ''[[Baashha]]''. The same year, she made her Telugu debut with ''[[Dharma Chakram]]''. In 1999 the super success of her films had catapulted her to the top spot in Kannada movies. ''[[Chandramuki Pranasakhi]]'', ''[[Upendra (film)|Upendra]]'' and [[Ravichandran (Kannada actor)|V. Ravichandran]]'s ''Naanu Nanna Hendthiru'' in Kannada and the [[Telugu language]] film, ''Devi'' which collected Rs. 18 crores at the box-office and was dubbed into Hindi as well.

In 2000 she saw 6 releases of which ''[[Yajamana (2000 film)|Yajamana]]'' opposite [[Vishnuvardhan (actor)|Vishnuvardhan]] was a runaway hit. 2001 proved lucky with the female-centric ''[[Kanasugara]]'', the remake of Tamil film ''[[Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen]]'', which fetched her the [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress]] and many other awards for her portrayal of a simple girl who becomes a famous singer. Her main release in 2002 was [[Sunil Kumar Desai]]'s musical ''[[Parva (2002 film)|Parva]]'' co-starring [[Vishnuvardhan (actor)|Vishnuvardhan]] and [[Roja Selvamani]]. In 2003, she was praised by critics for her complex role in ''[[Singaaravva]]''. In 2004, Prema played [[Vishnuvardhan (actor)|Vishnuvardhan]]'s leading lady in ''[[Apthamitra]]'', the Kannada remake of Malayalam ''[[Manichitrathazhu]]'' by [[P. Vasu]].

She has shared screen space with [[Vishnuvardhan (actor)|Vishnuvardhan]] in seven films - [[Yajamana (2000 film)|Yajamana]], [[Apthamitra]], [[Jamindaru]], [[Kshana Kshana]], [[Ekadantha]], [[Parva (2002 film)|Parva]], and Ellaranthalla Nanna Ganda.

Post her marriage in 2006, Prema cut down on her film assignments. Her last release was ''Shishira'' in 2009 before taking a hiatus. In 2017 she made her comeback with ''Upendra Matte Baa''. She has, thus far, acted in more than 70 movies in Kannada and more than 28 movies in Telugu.

'''Abul Hasan Azami''' (born 1941), also written as '''Abul Hasan Azmi''', is an Indian Islamic scholar, qāri (Qur'anic reciter) and author known for his work on tajwīd and qirā'āt. Over a career spanning five decades, he taught at several religious institutions and served as head of the Department of Tajwīd and Qirā'āt at [[Darul Uloom Deoband]]. He has written extensively on Qur'anic recitation and its history, including works such as ''al-Nafhah al-‘Anbariyyah'', ''al-Nafahāt al-Qāsimiyyah'' and ''Tārīkh ʿIlm al-Qirā'āt''. Azami is also associated with the [[Muslim World League]]'s subsidiary body ''al-Hay’ah al-‘Ālamiyyah li-Ḥifẓ al-Qur'ān al-Karīm'' in Mecca.

== Early life and education ==
Abul Hasan Azami was born in 1360 AH (1941 CE) in Jagdishpur, [[Azamgarh district]].{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=34, 39}} His father, Muhammad Hanif, was a memorizer of the Qur'an (ḥāfiẓ).{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=37, 39}}

He received his early education at a madrasa in Jagdishpur, and his father played the major role in his memorization of the Qur'an. He then studied the Qur'anic curriculum and Persian, and progressed from elementary Arabic through to the third level of Arabic at Madrasa Baitul Uloom, [[Sarai Mir]], Azamgarh; during this period he also studied books of tajwīd.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=41, 44–45, 57}} After Sarai Mir he enrolled at [[Darul Uloom Mau]] where he continued Arabic studies from the fourth to the fifth levels and completed instruction in the qirā'āt al-sab‘ah.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=55, 58–60}}

Due to family circumstances he married during his second year of Arabic study, which caused an interruption in his studies; eventually, in Shawwāl 1383 AH (1963 CE) he became a teacher of tajwīd and qirā'āt at Madrasa Ma‘rufiyyah in Pura Ma‘ruf, Mau district and remained there until 1385 AH (1965 CE).{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=68–71}} During his time at Pura Maroof he also practiced calligraphy under Muhammad Usman Maroofi.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|p=72}} He later served as a tajwīd and qirā'āt teacher at Madrasa Karamatiyah Dārul Faiz, [[Jalalpur]] until 1388 AH (1968 CE).{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=85–86}} He then briefly taught at Madrasa Ihyaul Uloom, [[Mubarakpur, Azamgarh|Mubarakpur]] until 1390 AH.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=89–90}} From 1391 AH (1971 CE) to 1394 AH (1974 CE) he taught tajwīd and qirā'āt at Madrasa Qur'ania in [[Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh|Jaunpur]] for four years, and subsequently at Riyazul Uloom, Guraini, Jaunpur district.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=93، 95، 99}} While taking some students to [[Darul Uloom Deoband]] for entrance examinations in Shawwāl 1395 AH (1975 CE), he was influenced by the academic environment there and chose to resume formal studies. He entered directly into the final stages of the [[Dars-i Nizami|Dars-e-Nizami]] curriculum and completed the hadith year in Shaʿbān 1397 AH (July 1977), graduating from there.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=103–104, 109}}{{Sfn|Tijarwi|2020|p=389}}

At Deoband seminary, his teachers of ḥadīth included [[Sharif Hasan Deobandi]], [[Muhammad Tayyib Qasmi]], [[Mahmood Hasan Gangohi]], [[Naseer Ahmad Khan (scholar)|Naseer Ahmad Khan]], Abdul Ahad Deobandi, [[Mirajul Haq Deobandi]], [[Fakhrul Hasan Moradabadi]], Muhammad Husain Bihari, Muhammad Naʿim Deobandi, [[Wahiduzzaman Kairanawi]], [[Nizamuddin Azami]], [[Muhammad Salim Qasmi]], [[Anzar Shah Kashmiri]], Khurshid Alam Deobandi, [[Qamaruddin Ahmad Gorakhpuri]], Abdullah Saleem Deobandi, [[Saeed Ahmad Palanpuri]], and [[Abdul Khaliq Madrasi]].{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=110–115, 126–172, 215}}

In addition, he obtained authorizations (''ijāzah'') in ḥadīth from [[Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi]] and [[Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda]].{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|p=122}}{{Sfn|Azami|2019|p=912}}

His teachers in the sciences of ''tajwīd'' and ''qirāʾāt'' included ʿAbdul Qayyūm Azami, Qāri Muʿīnuddīn, and Muhammad Mustafa Mauwi.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=57–60}} He also benefited from further study in these disciplines with Mohibbuddin Alahābādi, a student of [[Abdul Rehman Makki]].{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=116–117, 119–120}}

== Career ==
After graduating from [[Darul Uloom Deoband]], Azami served four years at Madrasa Asghariyyah, [[Deoband]], and one year at [[Madrasa Shahi]], Moradabad, in tajwīd and qirā'āt instruction. On the invitation of [[Asad Madani]] he joined Darul Uloom Deoband and in Dhū al-Qa‘dah 1402 AH he was appointed to the Department of Tajwīd and Qirā'āt. After one year he was assigned the headship of that department.{{Sfn|Haridwari|2004|pp=278–283}}{{Sfn|Azami|2019|p=223}}

In a 2008 report by the ''[[Hindustan Times]]'', Azami—then serving as professor of Qur'anic recitation at Darul Uloom Deoband—emphasized the importance of discipline in Islamic education, stating that "discipline is critical to the study of Islam; nobody can rise late."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Haq |first=Zia |title=Darul-uloom seminary in Deoband |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/darul-uloom-seminary-in-deoband/story-q2AtRhHnf4RjzSKPEBAUAM.html |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=6 July 2008 |access-date=28 October 2025}}</ref>

He resigned from Darul Uloom Deoband in Rabīʿ al-Thānī 1434 AH (February 2013) following disputes with the administration.{{Sfn|Azami|2019|pp=218–222}}<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 January 2013 |title='दारुल उलूम में 28 वर्षों से झेल रहा हूं उत्पीड़न' |trans-title='I have been facing harassment at Darul Uloom for 28 years' |url=https://www.amarujala.com/uttar-pradesh/darul-uloom-management-works-like-dictator-says-abul-hasan-azami |access-date=27 October 2025 |website=[[Amar Ujala]] |language=hi}}</ref>

{{Short description|Plateau in south India}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2019}}
{{more citations needed|date=March 2018}}
The '''Mysore plateau''', also known as the '''South Karnataka plateau''', is a [[plateau]] that is one of the four geographically unique regions of the [[India]]n state of [[Karnataka]]. It has many undulations and is bounded on the west and south by the [[Western Ghats]]. Most of the river [[Kaveri]] flows through Karnataka in the Mysore Plateau. The average elevation in the region is between 600 and 900 meters. The plateau covers the districts of [[Bangalore Urban district|Bangalore]], [[Bangalore Rural district|Bangalore Rural]], [[Chamarajanagar district|Chamarajanagar]], [[Hassan district|Hassan]], [[Kodagu district|Kodagu]], [[Kolar district|Kolar]], [[Mandya district|Mandya]], [[Mysore district|Mysore]] and [[Tumakuru district|Tumkur]].

==Overview==
The name of the plateau is derived from ''Karunadu'' ("land of black soil"). The plateau has an area of about {{convert|73,000|mi2|km2|abbr=off}} and an average elevation of about {{convert|2,600|ft|m|abbr=off}}. It consists of the Dharwar system of volcanic rocks, crystalline [[schist]]s, and granites. The major rivers include the [[Godavari River|Godavari]], [[Krishna River|Krishna]], [[Kaveri]], [[Tungabhadra River|Tungabhadra]], [[Sharavati]], and [[Bhima River|Bhima]]. The Sharavati has the famous waterfall known as [[Jog Falls]] (830 feet or 253 metres). These falls are one of the most important sources of hydroelectric power in the country and are also a major tourist attraction. The plateau merges with the [[Nilgiri Hills]] in the south. Rainfall varies from {{convert|80|in|mm}} in the southern hills to {{convert|28|in|mm}} in the northern region.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Karnataka-Plateau|title = Karnataka Plateau | plateau, India}}</ref>

[[Sandalwood]] is exported, and [[teak]] and eucalyptus are used chiefly to make furniture and paper. [[Manganese]], [[chromium]], [[copper]], and [[bauxite]] are mined. There are large reserves of iron ore in the [[Baba Budan giri|Baba Budan hills]] and gold in the [[Kolar Gold Fields]]. Jowar (grain sorghum), cotton, rice, sugarcane, sesame seeds, peanuts (groundnuts), tobacco, fruits, coconuts, and coffee are the major crops. Textile manufacturing, food and tobacco processing, and printing are the principal industries. [[Bangalore|Bangalore (Bengaluru)]], capital of Karnataka state, is the site of most of the industrial development. Important towns include [[Mysore]], [[Bangalore]], [[Tumkur|Tumakuru]].

== Mythical importance ==
It was a myth that long long ago, Sage Bruhu was in deep meditation. Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered with loud noises of a Chollha king who was hunting a lion.

The sage advised him to take bath in the river Vettraru (also known as Vruddha Cauvery) and to pray [[Vishnu]] at this place for his goodness. The king did so and it worked to regain his human features. After that this place got importance.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Shri Adhi Narayana Perumal Temple: Vishnu on Garuda & Remedies |url=https://www.southtourism.in/tamilnadu/temples/mrigashirsha-shri-adi-narayana-perumal-temple.php |access-date=24 September 2024 |website=www.southtourism.in |language=en}}</ref>

All his main books, apart from the latest Complete Mahabharata series (finished in September 2017), have gone into many reprints in India.

==Early life, education and career==
Born in New Delhi, Menon studied at [[St. Xavier's School, Delhi|St Xavier's High School]] and [[St. Stephen's College, Delhi|St Stephen's College]], where he read history honours (1968–69) and then philosophy honours (1969–70), but left college without taking a degree.

Reading the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]'' at this time was a life-changing experience for him. It was the seed from which all his later work emerged.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}

He developed an informal [[guru–shishya tradition|guru-sishya]] relationship with the [[Malayalam]] novelist [[O. V. Vijayan]], and translated two of his master's novels into English: ''[[Gurusagaram|The Infinity of Grace]]''<ref>{{Cite book|title=Infinity of Grace|last=results|first=search|date=1996-02-01|publisher=Penguin Books India|isbn=9780140260076|edition= 2nd|location=New Delhi; New York, N.Y.|language=English|translator-last=Menon|translator-first=Ramesh}}</ref> (Penguin) and ''Madhuram Gayathi'' (yet to be published by Vijayan's estate after his death in 2005).{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}

In addition to Delhi, Menon has lived and worked in [[Bangalore]], [[Chennai]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Jakarta]], [[Kodaikanal]] and [[Thiruvananthapuram]].

==Critical response==
In a starred review, [[Kirkus Reviews]] described his ''Ramayana'' as "A masterpiece made new for a generation of readers who ought to be very grateful indeed to Menon".<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/ramesh-menon/the-ramayana/|title=THE RAMAYANA by Ramesh Menon {{!}} Kirkus Reviews|language=en-us}}</ref>

British theatre director [[Peter Brook]] called the book ''A beautiful new rendering of an inexhaustible theme''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780865476950|title=The Ramayana {{!}} Ramesh Menon {{!}} Macmillan|work=US Macmillan|access-date=2018-06-27|language=en-US}}</ref>

His two-volume rendering of ''The Mahabharata'' is his most read and reviewed book.
