In local devotional tradition, she is regarded as a dual force a compassionate mother who forgives sins and a powerful queen (Maharani) who governs time and fortune. Worshippers often address the deity by epithets describing her nature, such as Sachiyan Jotan Waali (She whose flames are true). Central to the temple's philosophy is the concept of "One form, many names", viewing Jhandewali Devi as the unified embodiment of other prominent goddesses, including [[Vaishno Devi]], [[Naina Devi]], [[Saraswati]], and [[Bhadrakali]]. Devotional observances at the temple typically combine humble submission with specific petitions. Devotees approach the goddess to seek spiritual salvation and the forgiveness of faults, characterizing their relationship as that of a dependent child to a mother. Simultaneously, prayers are offered for worldly protection and specific blessings associated with the days of the week, seeking attributes such as intellect, peace, and bravery.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/details/badri-bhakta-jhandewalan-devi-mandir-jhandewala-devi-mandir |title=Badri Bhakta - Jhandewalan Devi Mandir (Jhandewala Devi Mandir) |publisher=Internet Archive |access-date=1 December 2025}}</ref>

The '''Arakan Expeditions''' were two British punitive expeditions against the [[Khumi people|Khumi tribes]] and the [[Mara people|Mara tribes]] in the Southern Lushai Hills (present-day [[Mizoram]]) in 1841 and 1847. It was led through the Arakan Hills in relations to raids on the villages in the [[Chittagong Hill Tracts]].

==Phayre Expedition==
In 1842, following a series of raids on villages in the [[Chittagong Hill Tracts]] by the Mara tribes, an expedition was arranged under Captain [[Arthur Purves Phayre| A.P. Phayre]] and Lieutenant [[Albert Fytche]].{{sfn|Yule|1886|p=105}} The force consisted of a subedar, a jemadar, three havildars and naiks, 70 sepoys and two buglers.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=32}} The purpose of the raid was to curtail the bold raids made by the tribes for a few years. Permanent peacekeeping was not considered feasible without superintendency over them. Mr Ricketts, Commissioner of Chittagong, described the Southern Lushai Hills as unhealthy, difficult and remote to penetrate or hold over. Police officers of the hill tracts would be attacked, and elephant hunters would be deterred from the tribes.{{sfn|Hughes|1881|p=8}} Phayre was sent to the frontier with the company of the Aracan Local Battalion commanded under Fytche.{{sfn|Yule|1886|p=105}}{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=32}}

Phayre observed the village in the distance and made the detachments detour to flank the village. The [[Khumi people|Khumi]] people in the detachmenets acted as guides and cut down the vegetation for the force. Phayre described the Khumis as experts in concealment in their natural environment.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=32}} The houses were evacuated by the Khumi tribesmen. As the hills were steep and required ladders to communicate and move, the Khumis withheld the ladders. As a result, the houses were burnt down and the force withdrew with no injuries apart from spiked bamboo traps.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=33}}

The battalion under Phayre and Fytche reached the chiefdom of the Wa-lien on a hill 4000 feet above the valley. The village was destroyed and Phayre and Fytche were commended for their conduct.{{sfn|Yule|1886|p=105}} In his report, Phayre stated that the success of the expedition will go to show the tribes to expect retaliation by the British and thus curb further attempts at raiding.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=33}}

==Hopkinson Expedition==
In 1847, responding to a series of raids from the Maras, Lieutenant Henry Hopkinson and Lieutenant Sanders took an escort of native infantry via the Kaladine river.{{sfn|Verghese|Thanzawna|1997|p=173}} The Maras had successfully raided villages of some [[Chakma people|Chakma tribes]] and the [[Phru]]. The British believed that a response from the Arakan frontier would be easier and convenient than an expedition from the Chittagong frontier. The goal was to push Arakan frontier border posts deeper into the Southern Lushai Hills for more effective control over the Mara tribes and their raiding routes. Hopkinson was granted a force consisting of 50 sepoys and 122 non-commissioned Europeana dn Indian soldiers. Hopkinson moved up the hills on 24 December.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=34}} Along the way, Hopkinson encountered hostile Khumi villages which fired upon the force. He also encountered the Anoo which cooperated with him. Following this he passed through further Khumi villages under the control of the British. Hopkinson established contacts with the villages and formed alliances on behalf of the British and retired due to the issue fo facing more uncivilised Khumi villages along the path.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=35}} Immedaitely following the return of the force, the Mara began to act hostile towards the newly allied villages of the British. By 1849, raids by the Maras resumed. By this time, Phayre who was now commissioner of Arakan, preferred a punitive expedition rather than further frontier outposts. The issue dragged on until 1854 in which the government of India issued the order to contact the Maras and form alliances with them.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=34}} However, according the expedition was difficult owing to issues such as food supply and drinking water. The jungles of the Lushai Hills were considered impenetrable with many insects and diseases spreading among troops. In retaliation, the Maras raided villages assumed to be aiding the expeditionary force. As a result, Hopkinson and Sanders retreated without any success.{{sfn|Verghese|Thanzawna|1997|p=173}}

Hopkinson based on his experiences did not believe it would be simple to contact the Maras in their difficult territory.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=36}} Furthermore, the Mara tribes were disunited and would not stop all possible raids if relations with one or few were established. Hopkinson thus preferred to invade the Maras and confederate them into one administrative entity allied to the British.{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=37}}

Captain Hopkinson, in a report in 1856, described that the Lushai Hills and their inhabitants were considered one of the most impracticable and unable to be occupied to deal with. Multiple attempts were made for negotiations by humanizing, winning the confidence of chiefs and coordinating policy. In sixteen years as Commissioner of the Arakan Hill Tracts, Hopkinson considered the dealings with the Maras and Lushais as unprogressable. Hopkinson would suggest that superintendency and annexation would be the most practical solution to check the propensity of the raiding tribes.{{sfn|Hughes|1881|p=8}} In the case of failure to annex the tribes, Hopkinson suggested that the British withdraw from any future interactions and circumvent their ability to raid their subjects.{{sfn|Hughes|1881|p=9}}{{sfn|Pau|2020|p=37-38}}

'''Agathiyar Malai''' (or '''Agasthiyarkoodam''') is one of the peaks of the [[Agathiyarmalai Biosphere Reserve]] in the [[Western Ghats]] that lies between the districts of [[Tirunelveli District]] of [[Tamil Nadu]] and [[Thiruvananthapuram District]] of [[Kerala]], [[India]].<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Agasthyamalai/@8.6088806,77.2442024,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x3b044a7eaa5b040f:0x7816ced6458f2c6f!8m2!3d8.6163066!4d77.2460479 Google Maps]</ref> This peak is specifically located in the [[Thiruvananthapuram district]] of [[Kerala]], near the Tamil Nadu border. It is 1,868-metres (6,129 ft) tall.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}. The perennial [[Thamirabarani River]] originates from the eastern side of the range and flows into the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. The rivers flowing westwards through the district of [[Thiruvananthapuram]] in [[Kerala]] are the [[Karamana River]] and the [[Neyyar river]].

Agastyaarkoodam is a major trekking spot in the southern end of the [[Western Ghats]]. It is also considered as a pilgrimage spot for devotees of the Hindu sage [[Agastya]], who is considered to be one of the seven [[rishis]] ([[Saptarishi]]) of [[Hindu]] [[Puranas]]. In Tamil traditions, Agastya is considered as the father of the [[Tamil language]] and the compiler of the first Tamil grammar called [[Agattiyam]] or Akattiyam.<ref>[Richard S Weiss 2009, pp. 50–51, 81–82] and [Klaus Klostermaier (2003), A Concise Encyclopedia of Hinduism, Oxford: Oneworld Publications; {{ISBN|1-85168-175-2}}, page 17]</ref> There is a small stone statue of Agathiyar at the top of the peak where one can offer flowers as offerings to the mystical sage considered as a “Chiranjeevi” which means [[Immortality|immortal]].

Agasthyamala [[Biosphere Reserve]] is among 20 new sites added by [[UNESCO]] to its [[World Network of Biosphere Reserves]] in March 2016. The International Co-ordinating Council added the new sites during a two-day meeting on 19 March 2016 in Lima, bringing the total number of biosphere reserves to 669 sites in 120 countries, including 16 transboundary sites. The [[Nature reserve|biosphere reserve]] includes close to 300 rare bird species and more than 200 medicinal plants endemic to this region.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/indias-agasthyamala-listed-among-20-world-biosphere-reserves/articleshow/51491925.cms | title=UNESCO added Agasthya Mala to its World Network of Biosphere Reserves in 2016 | date=21 March 2016 | newspaper=The Economic Times | agency=PTI | access-date=12 July 2016 }}</ref>

== Name ==
Named after the sage [[Agastya]], the official Survey of India name for the mountain is '''''Agastya Mala''''' (Malayalam: അഗസ്ത്യ മല, lit. ''Mount Agastya'').

The mountain is also known as '''''Agastyarkoodam''''' (Malayalam: അഗസ്ത്യകൂടം, lit. ''the abode of Agastya'') and '''''Agastya Malai''''' (Tamil: அகத்தியமலை, lit. ''Agastya Hill'').

==Geography==
Agasthya malai is 32 km from [[Neyyar Dam]] and 22 km from [[Bonacaud]], near [[Ponmudi|Vithura & Ponmudi]]. The major city and airport nearest to Agastyaarkoodam is [[Thiruvananthapuram]] and its [[Thiruvananthapuram International Airport]], around 61 km away. The nearest railway stations are Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala and [[Ambasamudram]], [[Tirunelveli District]], Tamil Nadu. The trekking path, nearly 22 km, is from [[Bonacaud]].{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}

[[Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve]] is part of the [[Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve|Agastyaarkoodam range]]. Part of the peak can be seen from the Upper Kodayar region.
[[File:A view of the Agasthyamalai range from Upper Kodayar.jpg|thumb|center|A view of the Agasthyamalai range from Upper Kodayar]]
Other major rivers which originate from the mountain are the [[Karamana River]], which flows through the [[Thiruvananthapuram district]] and is the major source of drinking water to the city, and the [[Neyyar River]] (also in the Thiruvananthapuram district).{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}

Vehicles reach only till [[Bonacaud]] which is around 50 km from [[Thiruvananthapuram]]. The trek to the peak is 20 km long from [[Bonacaud]] and requires two days. The first part of the trek can be started from the base station [[Bonacaud]] in the early morning and is 14 km through the forest to the camp. Elephants and wild bulls are in abundance in this part, especially in the evenings. The final part i.e. the 6 km long trek can be done from the camp and crossing the border enters Tamil Nadu to reach the top of Agathyakoodam mountain on the second day.

==Vegetation==
{{Unreferenced section |date=June 2024}}
The lower elevations of this peak are known for their abundance of rare herbs and medicinal plants. Around 2,000 medicinal plants used in [[Siddha|Ayurvedic]] treatments are found here. Europeans, particularly those from [[England]], were the first to establish tea gardens around the base stations of the mountain at Brimore, [[Bonacaud]], and [[Ponmudi]].

The [[Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve]] harbours rare flora and fauna. Tourists are permitted to the area only with permission from the forest department of [[Kerala]]. Annual trekking passes to the peak are issued from the forest department during January–February only.

==Manjolai Hills==
{{Unreferenced section |date=June 2024}}
Between elevations ranging from 1000 to 1500 metres, the Manjolai area is set deep within the Western Ghats within the Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve in the Tirunelveli District. Located on top of the Manimuthar Dam and the Manimuthar Water Falls, the Manjolai area has tea plantations, small settlements around the tea plantations, Upper Kodaiyar Dam, and a windy view point called Kuthiravetti.

The tea plantations and the whole of Manjolai Estates are operated by the Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Ltd on forest lands leased by the singampatti zamin. There are three tea estates in the Manjolai area — Manjolai Estate, Manimutharu Estate, and Oothu Estate. The estates are on elevations ranging between {{convert|2300|and|4200|ft|m|abbr=out|0}}. The estates, road, and the settlements in the Manjolai area are managed by the Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Ltd.

== Former status prohibiting women ==
Prior to November 2018, women were forbidden to climb Agastyaarkoodam by the local [[Kani tribe|Kani]] tribe. After a court ruling which removed the prohibition, a woman, Dhanya Sanal — an [[Indian Information Service]] officer — reached the peak in 2019, becoming the first woman known to make the climb. Since the change in the law, more than 100 other women have registered for a license to make the climb.<ref>{{cite web|last=Regan |first=Helen |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/17/asia/india-woman-mountain-kerala-intl/index.html |title=Indian woman is first to climb Kerala mountain reserved for men - CNN |publisher=CNN |date=2019-01-18 |access-date=2019-01-31}}</ref>

Goswami also painted the covers of many books.<ref name="সংসদ">অঞ্জলি বসু সম্পাদিত, ''সংসদ বাঙালি চরিতাভিধান'', দ্বিতীয় খণ্ড, সাহিত্য সংসদ, কলকাতা, জানুয়ারি ২০১৯ পৃষ্ঠা ৩৩১ (in bengali){{ISBN|978-81-7955-292-6}}</ref>

Walter Thompson]] in the field of designing in [[advertising]]. He served as the Art Director in the same company. After that he also worked in Everest Advertising Company. In 1960, he quit his job as a creative art director and started a company called ''R Goswami & Associates'' (RGA). [[Graphic Design]], [[Interior Design]], Exhibition Design, [[Architecture|Architectural Design]], Product Design, [[Communication]], [[Animation]], Teaching Aids etc., he has effortlessly walked in all aspects of design. In 1952, he founded an organization called The ''Puppets Calcutta'' (or ''Puppets'') along with Hena Dasgupta, Dilip Bhowmik and Shantiranjan Pal at Rani Harshmukhi Road in Paikpara, [[North Kolkata]]. This organization started the practice of non-traditional [[puppetry]] in this country. The Puppets had their office at 6 Hastings Street (now Kiran Shankar Roy Road), Calcutta-1.

In [[Anandabazar Patrika]], Angshuman Bandopadhyay wrote under the title 'Those who brought Bengaliana in advertising',
<blockquote>From [[Annada Munsi|Annada Munshi]] to [[Satyajit Ray]], O. C. Ganguly, Makhan Dutta Gupta, Ranen Ayan Dutt or Raghunath Goswami---None is only skilled artist in [[Advertising]]. Along with advertising, they brought fine arts, literature, music, films and above all the Bengali heritage. The culture of [[Calcutta]] emerged in their work. (in Bengali)</blockquote>

Goswami had designed cover of many books. It must be remembered that without any education one learns commercial art only by sight.

==Plot==
John Paul, known to the natives as "Marpappa" is a photographer from [[Karuvatta]], [[Alappuzha]], living with his mother Mary, who runs a ration shop. His father had committed suicide by jumping into backwaters during John's childhood. John developed [[aquaphobia]] after seeing his father's dead body, and thus he has not learnt to swim, despite living near backwaters.

Jessy is the daughter of Panchayat president Oomachan and is a [[Bachelor of Dental Surgery|BDS]] final year student. She is saved by John from an attempted suicide after failing in the final exam. Jessy and John get to know each other and ends up in a [[Romanticism|romantic]] relationship. John helps Jessy to produce a fake degree certificate by taking a [[mortgage loan]] to meet the expense. Later, Jessy breaks up with John after getting a marriage proposal from wealthy [[Fashion photography|fashion photographer]] Peter and realising that John's income would not match her needs. After, she goes abroad for a job.

Jessy returns to the homeland and her marriage with Peter is being arranged. In the meantime, Jessy had found out that Peter is actually an [[Erotic photography|erotic photographer]]. She extorts money from his father in exchange for not exposing Peter. It is revealed that Peter had already known about her fake certificate and intimidate her when she tries to break up with him. Meanwhile, the bank forecloses John's home.

John later pretends that he is still in love with Jessy and finally with her help, John retains his residential documents from the bank. John finally confesses that he cannot maintain a relationship with Jessy as she changes her color as per the situations.
Jessy has no other choice other than to marry Peter as Peter knows everything about Jessy, including her fake certificate, illegal immigration and illegal job claim in [[London]].

Meanwhile, John and Jessy's younger sister Annie falls in love. John marries Annie on the same day as Jessi marries Peter.

Later in the movie, it is revealed that Fr. Innocent who performed both the marriages was betrayed by Jessi in their school days & John's mother Mrs. Mary was the mastermind behind John and Annie's marriage.

==Plot ==
Saravanan comes to Chennai from a small village in Madurai and works in a juice and tea stall where Mani is the "tea master". Though not formally educated, Saravanan is well-read. Saravanan's lover Anandhi jilts him citing his meagre existence, which pushes him into depression. He decides to rob his landlady, Sivagami though she treats him as a brother. He then uses the knowledge that he has picked up over the years to plan and execute the crime, and proceeds to frame a neighbor he does not like.

After robbing his landlady's jewels, the incidents which happened in Sivagami's life starts to happen in Saravanan's life. He realizes this and does not want his sister to face the difficulties in life that Sivagami did. So, he starts thinking about how to stop this phenomenon and make things right. Meanwhile Kathir, Sivagami's hot-headed brother starts suspecting Saravanan.

The astounding similarities in his and Kathir's life and thought processes propels Saravanan to investigate the latter's past. He comes to the conclusion that Kathir had also committed a theft in his young age, stealing from Saravanan's grandfather, in the process framing Murugan, a colleague that he dislikes. Murugan is publicly arrested and shamed, over the cries of his despairing mother. Shortly after, Sivagami's daughter, Kavitha, was born blind, and Sivagami's husband fell ill and was bedbound. Moreover, Kathir's friend Kumar, whom Kathir repeatedly compares with Mani, dies in a railway accident, leaving his family destitute.

Saravanan later receives a call from his sister, who tells him that she is pregnant with a daughter, and that an astrologer has warned her husband to be careful of his health. Meanwhile, Kavitha falls into despair as the jewels that Saravan had stolen had been intended to be her wedding jewels, and her wedding is halted. Saravanan panics, and decides to stop fate's triangle from affecting his family. He quarrels with Mani, who one day takes the stolen jewels and runs away. On the same day, Kavitha attempts suicide and Saravanan rushes her to a hospital.

Saravanan promises to marry Kavitha, despite Kathir's protests. Mani returns to see Saravanan, angry that the bag of jewels had been replaced with a bag full of clothing. Both men claim not to have been responsible for the switch and fight.

Ten months later, Saravanan is happily married to Kavitha and is a [[Auto rickshaw|share auto]] driver. His niece is born with her eyesight and his brother-in-law remains healthy. Saravanan picks up Mani as a fare and the pair reconcile. Saravanan's internal dialogue reveals that he knows that Mani did not steal the jewels. Mani's flashback reveals that the bag full of jewels was accidentally swapped with another passenger's baggage on the bus. He had blamed Saravanan out of embarrassment and shame.

A final plot twist reveals that the passenger who had picked up the bag of jewels was, in fact, Murugan's son. Traumatised by how his innocent father had been treated by the police, he decides not to return the jewels and instead keeps them for his young daughter. A photograph on the wall reveals that Murugan's mother had been blind.

The '''Bhil languages''' are a group of [[lect]]s spoken by the [[Bhils|Bhil]] that are classified as dialects of [[Indo-Aryan languages]] such as [[Gujarati languages|Gujarati]] and [[Rajasthani languages|Rajasthani]].<ref>{{cite book|author=George L. van Driem |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6EswEAAAQBAJ|title=Ethnolinguistic Prehistory| date=25 May 2021 |page=220| publisher=BRILL | isbn=978-90-04-44837-7 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Prakash Chandra Mehta|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hoQqpkfrXfAC|title=Ethnographic Atlas of Indian Tribes| date=2004 |page=191| publisher=Discovery Publishing House | isbn=978-81-7141-852-7 }}</ref> They are spoken by around 10.4 million [[Bhil]]s in western and central [[India]] as of 2011<ref name="Cenus2011">{{cite web |title=ABSTRACT OF SPEAKERS' STRENGTH OF LANGUAGES AND MOTHER TONGUES - 2011 |url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011Census/Language-2011/Statement-1.pdf |website=www.censusindia.gov.in |publisher=Indian Census 2011, Government of India |access-date=7 July 2018}}</ref> and constitute the primary languages of the southern [[Aravalli Range]] in [[Rajasthan]] and the western [[Satpura Range]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], northwestern Maharashtra, and southern Gujarat.

According to the 52nd report of the commissioner for linguistic minorities in India, [[Ministry of Minority Affairs (India)|Ministry of Minority Affairs]], Bhili is the most commonly spoken language of the [[district]] of [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli]] constituting 40.42% of its total population. Bhili speakers are also significant in the states of [[Gujarat]] (4.75%), [[Madhya Pradesh]] (4.93%) and [[Rajasthan]] (4.60%).<ref name="MoMA">{{cite web |url=http://nclm.nic.in/shared/linkimages/NCLM52ndReport.pdf |title=Report of the Commissioner for linguistic minorities: 52nd report (July 2014 to June 2015) |publisher=Commissioner for Linguistic Minorities, [[Ministry of Minority Affairs]], [[Government of India]] |access-date=21 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170525141614/http://nclm.nic.in/shared/linkimages/NCLM52ndReport.pdf |archive-date=25 May 2017 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

==Relationship ==
The Bhil languages form a link midway between the [[Gujarati language]] and the [[Rajasthani–Marwari]] languages.

Grouped geographically, the Bhil languages are the following:

*Northern Bhil
**[[Bauria language|Bauria]]
**[[Wagdi language|Wagdi]] (perhaps central: reportedly highly intelligible with Adiwasa, Patelia, and other varieties of Bhil proper)
**[[Bhilori language|Bhilori]] (Noiri, Dungra)
**[[Magari language|Magari]] (Magra ki Boli; incl. under Bhili proper in ''Ethnologue'')
*Central Bhil
**[[Bhili language|Bhili proper]] (Patelia), Bhilodi, Adiwasa & Rajput Garasia [mutually intelligible; some intelligible with [[Marwari language|Marwari]]]
**[[Bhilali language|Bhilali]] (Rathawi)
**[[Chodri language|Chodri]]
**[[Dhodia–Kukna language|Dhodia–Kukna]]
**[[Dhanki language|Dhanki]]
**[[Dubli language|Dubli]]
*Eastern Bhil (Bareli)
**[[Palya Bareli language|Palya Bareli]]
**[[Pauri Bareli language|Pauri Bareli]]
**[[Rathwi Bareli language|Rathwi Bareli]]
**[[Pardhi language|Pardhi]]
**[[Kalto language|Kalto]] (Nahali)

Other Bhil languages include [[Gamit language|Gamit]] (Gamti) and [[Mawchi language|Mawchi]]. [[Vasavi language|Vasavi]] is spoken by ethnic Bhils, but may be closer to Gujarati. Similarly, [[Malvi language|Malvi]] and [[Nimadi language|Nimadi]] may be closer to Rajasthani. The recently described [[Vaagri Booli]] may also be a Bhil language.

Sumit Rajguru of ''[[Times Now]]'' gave the series a 2 out of 5 rating, describing it as "a decent web series that has predictable twists and average performances.

=== 1994–1998: Career breakthrough ===
After a turn as the criminal Big Don in 1993's ''[[True Romance]]''—written by [[Quentin Tarantino]] and directed by [[Tony Scott]]—Tarantino asked Jackson to play Jules Winnfield in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' (1994). Jackson was surprised to learn that the part had been specifically written for him: "To know that somebody had written something like Jules for me. I was overwhelmed, thankful, arrogant—this whole combination of things that you could be, knowing that somebody's going to give you an opportunity like that."<ref name="Hudson 99">{{harvnb|Hudson|2004|p=99}}</ref> ''Pulp Fiction,'' Jackson's thirtieth film, made him internationally recognized and he received praise from critics. ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' wrote: "As superb as [[John Travolta|Travolta]], [[Bruce Willis|Willis]], and [[Harvey Keitel|Keitel]] are, the actor who reigns over ''Pulp Fiction'' is Samuel L. Jackson. He just about lights fires with his gremlin eyes and he transforms his speeches into hypnotic bebop soliloquies."<ref name="Hudson 106">{{harvnb|Hudson|2004|p=106}}</ref> For the Academy Awards, [[Miramax|Miramax Films]] pushed for, and received, the [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor|Best Supporting Actor]] nomination for Jackson.<ref name="Hudson 5">{{harvnb|Hudson|2004|p=5}}</ref> He also received a [[Golden Globe]] nomination and won the [[British Academy Film Awards|BAFTA Award]] for [[BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role|Best Supporting Role]].<ref name="BestSupportPF">{{cite news|last=Bhattacharya|first=Sanjiv|title=Play it again Samuel...|work=The Observer|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/oct/27/features.review2|date=October 27, 2002|access-date=May 10, 2009|location=London|archive-date=July 2, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190702142005/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/oct/27/features.review2|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="GoldenGlobePF">{{cite news|title='Gump' Tops Golden Globe Nominations|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/24/arts/gump-tops-golden-globe-nominations.html|date=December 24, 1994|access-date=May 10, 2009|archive-date=July 2, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190702142005/https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/24/arts/gump-tops-golden-globe-nominations.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="CaveBAFTA">{{cite news|last=Okwu|first=Michael|title=Samuel L.

After ''Pulp Fiction'', Jackson received multiple scripts to review: "I could easily have made a career out of playing Jules over the years.

'''Atul Satya Koushik''' is an [[Theatre of India|Indian theatre]] artist who works as a playwright, director, producer, and promoter.

Active for over a decade, he is known for creating large-scale stage productions featuring popular celebrities from [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]], television, and theatre. His plays often include elaborate sets, period costumes, and large casts. Koushik is an advocate for commercial theatre in India, having produced numerous ticketed shows that have drawn full houses.

After being denied admission to premier drama and film institutes in India, he established his own theatre company in Delhi in 2009. He has since collaborated with various producers to create impactful stage productions. Koushik's career path is notable for being unconventional, as he chose to pursue theatre despite having a prestigious education in finance and law.

== Education and early career ==

Koushik completed his senior secondary education in Commerce at Mother's Global School, Preet Vihar. He then attended [[Shri Ram College of Commerce]] at the [[Delhi University|University of Delhi]], where he graduated with honors in Commerce. Following his undergraduate studies, he qualified as a [[Chartered accountant|Chartered Accountant]] and became a member of the [[Institute of Chartered Accountants of India]]. Additionally, he holds a law degree from the [[Faculty of Law, University of Delhi]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Chartered Accountant by Profession|url=http://www.caclubindia.com/catalogue/atul_koushik.asp|website=CA Club India|publisher=Nikita Jain|accessdate=1 October 2014}}</ref>

In his early thirties, he had written over 20 full-length plays, including notable works such as ''Chakrayuh'', which marks [[Nitish Bharadwaj]]'s return as Krishna, and ''Legend of Ram'', featuring [[Arun Govil]] as Ram after three decades. Other plays include ''Ballygunge 1990'' with [[Anup Soni]], ''Raavan Ki Ramayan'' starring [[Puneet Issar]], ''Pajama Party'' with [[Kamya Panjabi]] and [[Kavita Kaushik]], ''Draupadi'' featuring [[Himani Shivpuri]] and [[Rakesh Bedi]], ''Wo Lahore'' with [[Avtar Gill]], ''Kahani Teri Meri'' with [[Kiran Kumar]], ''Saudagar'' (an Indian adaptation of Shakespeare’s ''[[The Merchant of Venice|Merchant of Venice]]''), ''Couple Trouble'' starring [[Kashmera Shah]], ''Dad's Girlfriend'', ''Bade Shahar Ke Log'', ''Kaali Shalwar Aur Khushiya'' based on stories by [[Saadat Hasan Manto]], ''[[Animal Farm]]'' by [[George Orwell]], ''Temporary Matter'', and several others. He has staged more than 1,000 performances of these plays, each distinct in content and treatment.

Koushik is part of a new generation of playwrights addressing the long-standing need for original Hindi plays in Indian theatre. With over 12 years of experience in the field, his involvement with theatre began in 2001. His notable contributions to original playwriting in India include ''Chakravyuh'', ''Raavan Ki Ramayan'', ''Draupadi'', ''Dad's Girlfriend'', and ''Wo Lahore''. Additionally, he has produced significant adaptations of classic Indian and international literature, such as ''Kahani Teri Meri'', ''Kaali Shalwar'', and ''Animal Farm''.

His plays inspired by mythology, such as ''Draupadi''<ref>{{Cite web|title = A play on Draupadis of the 21st century – The Times of India|url = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/theatre/A-play-on-Draupadis-of-the-21st-century/articleshow/49384764.cms|website = The Times of India|accessdate = 2 December 2015}}</ref> and ''Chakravyuh'',<ref>{{Cite news|title = Entrapped|url = http://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/with-chakravyuh-atul-satya-koushik-expands-on-his-interpretation-of-the-story-of-abhimanyu/article6267867.ece|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 31 July 2014|access-date = 2 December 2015|issn = 0971-751X}}</ref> have received acclaim for their performances across various parts of India. Koushik was invited by [[Lok Sabha]] Speaker [[Sumitra Mahajan]] to perform ''Chakravyuh'' at the Rajya Sabha Auditorium for the Members of the [[Parliament of India|Indian Parliament]].

Koushik's play ''Draupadi''<ref>{{Cite web|title = draupadi play directed by atul satya kaushik: किताबों की दुनिया: आज तक|url = http://aajtak.intoday.in/story/draupadi-play-directed-by-atul-satya-kaushik-1-808830.html|website = India Today|accessdate = 2 December 2015|language = hi}}</ref> explores how the lives of 21st-century women parallel the experiences of the Panchal princess from the [[Mahabharata]]. Utilizing the dramatic device of a play within a play, the production features 11 female actors who depict this juxtaposition. The narrative centers on a group of Haryanvi women who, in the absence of men, perform the banned play ''Draupadi'' and discover parallels between [[Draupadi]]'s life and their own. Veteran film and TV actor [[Rakesh Bedi]] also appears in this women-oriented production.

Koushik's play ''Wo Lahore'' portrays the internal conflicts of an ordinary Indian family against the backdrop of the freedom struggle and the societal impacts of the [[Partition of India|Partition]]. The play, which has been staged in over 10 cities including [[Lucknow]], [[Chandigarh]], Delhi, and [[Mumbai]], features TV actor [[Avtar Gill]] in a cameo role.

Koushik was recently awarded the Saluting The Entrepreneurs Award by the [[The Times Group|Times Group]] for his excellence in the field of art and theatre. He demonstrated his organizational skills by founding The Films and Theatre Society in 2009, which encourages young professionals from various fields to participate in its activities. The group is known for organizing an annual festival of literature, films, and theatre in Delhi. Koushik has successfully built an audience for his shows, which are consistently performed to full houses.

The Life of Gandhi’s Son Manilal'', p. 384</ref> was the second son of [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and [[Kasturba Gandhi]].

==Biography==
Manilal was born in [[Rajkot]], [[British India]], the second of four sons of Mohandas Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi. He had an older brother, [[Harilal Gandhi|Harilal]], and two younger brothers, [[Ramdas Gandhi|Ramdas]] and [[Devdas Gandhi|Devdas]].

Manilal's early years were spent in Rajkot, and it was in 1897 that he traveled to South Africa for the first time (his father having moved there several years previously). The family lived for a time in Durban and Johannesburg.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Dhupelia-Mesthrie|first=Uma|date=2007|title=Gandhi's South African Family|journal=India International Centre Quarterly|volume=34|issue=2|pages=34–45|jstor=23006303}}</ref> Between 1906 and 1914, he lived at the [[Inanda, KwaZulu-Natal|Phoenix Settlement]] (in KwaZulu-Natal) and [[Tolstoy Farm]] (in [[Gauteng]]), both settlements established by his father.<ref name=":0" />

After a brief visit to India (accompanying his parents), Manilal returned to South Africa in 1917 to assist in printing the ''[[Indian Opinion]]'', a [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]]-[[English language|English]] weekly publication, at Phoenix, [[Durban]]. By 1918, Manilal was doing most of the work for the press, and in 1920, he took over as editor. He remained editor of ''Indian Opinion'' until 1956, the year of his death.<ref>{{cite news|title=Manilal Gandhi Dead|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19560406&printsec=frontpage&hl=en|access-date=19 February 2018|agency=Press Trust of India|publisher=The Indian Express|date=6 April 1956|pages=1, 8}}</ref> Manilal died from a [[cerebral thrombosis]] following a [[stroke]].

Like his father, Manilal was also sent to prison several times by the [[British India|British colonial government]] after protesting against what he perceived as unjust laws. He was one of the initial 78 marchers to accompany Gandhi on the [[Salt March|1930 Salt March]], for which he was imprisoned.<ref name=":0" />

==Personal life==
In 1926, Manilal informed his father [[Mahatma Gandhi]] about Fatima Gool, with whom he had fallen in love in [[South Africa]]. Fatima was a Muslim of Gujrati descent. But Gandhi conveyed his disagreement because of the different religions of the two and wrote:<blockquote>''If you stick to Hinduism and Fatima follows Islam it will be like putting two swords in one sheath; or you both may lose your faith. And then what should be your children's faith? ... It is not dharma, only adharma if Fatima agrees to conversion just for marrying you. Faith is not a thing like a garment which can be changed to suit our convenience.''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Guha |first=Ramchandra |title=Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World |publisher=Penguin Allen Lane |year=2018 |isbn=978-0670083886 |pages=240}}</ref></blockquote>In 1927, Manilal married Sushila (24 August 1907 – 1988), a woman from his own community and similar background, in a match arranged by their families in the usual Indian way.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gandhiforchildren.org/remembering-sushila-gandhi/|title=Remembering Sushila Gandhi 1907-1988|last1=Prasad|first1=Archana|date=21 August 2013|publisher=gandhiforchildren.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160519175828/http://www.gandhiforchildren.org/remembering-sushila-gandhi/|archive-date=19 May 2016|access-date=19 February 2018}}</ref> Sushila was the daughter of Nanabhai Mashruwala of [[Akola]], [[Bombay State]], and the niece of Kishorlal Mashruwala, a close associate of Gandhi and a resident of [[Sevagram]] ashram. It was Mahatma Gandhi who sought her hand for his second son; the match was arranged, and after the wedding, Sushila duly joined her husband in South Africa. They had three children:
*Sita Dhupelia (b. 1928), elder daughter
*[[Arun Manilal Gandhi]] (1934–2023), son
*[[Ela Gandhi|Ela Gandhi Ramgobin]] (b. 1940), younger daughter

==Legacy==
Manilal's children Arun and Ela were also social-political activists. Uma D. Mesthrie, Sita's daughter, published a biography on Manilal.<ref>Uma Dhupelia Mesthrie, ''Gandhi’s Prisoner? The Life of Gandhi’s Son Manilal''. (Permanent Black: Cape Town, South Africa, 2003).</ref>

Prof. S. A. Jain translated the ''Sarvārthasiddhi'' in English language. In the preface to his book, he wrote: {{quote|Shri Pujyapada’s Sarvārthasiddhi has exercised a great fascination on my mind ever since I commenced the study of this great work. Very few works of the world’s literature have inspired me to the same extent or have provided equally satisfactory answers to the world’s riddles, which have perplexed the greatest thinkers of all ages. No philosophical work that I know of treats of the great issues that confront humanity with the same simplicity, charm, ease and freedom.{{sfn|S.A. Jain|1992|p=v}}}}

'''Hazrat Tawakkal Mastan Dargah is''' a Sufi shrine of Islam with a history of about 200 years located at Cottonpete of [[Bangalore|Bengaluru]] city. The [[dargah]] is considered to be the oldest and largest [[dargah]] in [[Bangalore|Bengaluru]] city.

== History ==
In the mid-18th century A.D [[Bangalore|Bengaluru]] was ruled by [[Hyder Ali]]. During [[Hyder Ali]]'s reign, in 1761 A.D he decided to re-build the fort by stone which was initially built by [[Kempe Gowda I|Kempegowda]] using mud in 1537 A.D. [[Hyder Ali]] learned that three of them who were involved in the construction of the fort had refused their salaries. He requested his uncle Hazrath Ibrahim saheb, initially was a khilledar(later was a governor of bangalore) to collect information about them . Hazrath Ibrahim saheb sufi pir
(Zindawali) found them in his Khankha and masjid e Ibrahim shah at kumbarpet near the fort. He informs Hyder Ali that their names are Hazrat Tawakkal Baba, Hazrat Tipu Mastan, and Manik Mastan who are the [[Sufism|Sufi]] saints. When Hyder Ali requests them to receive a salary, the trio asks him to build a mosque near the Uppara Pete. Upon their request Hyder Ali agrees to build a mosque. The construction of the mosque which was begun by Hyder Ali in 1777 AD, was completed by his son [[Tipu Sultan]] in 1783 AD.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Shekhar|first=Divya|title=Date with History!

== Specialization ==
The special feature and symbol of integration is when every year the famous Bengaluru [[Karaga (festival)|Kharaga]] festival is held. Participants in the [[Karaga (festival)|Karaga]] who bear the [[deity]] on their head without touching by hand and moving around come to this Dargah before the event, receive dhuparati and then they leave for the circumnavigation of the city. The three-day prior to annual Karaga festival, there is a regular practice in which the Participants in the Karaga who bear the [[deity]] and Mujhavir who is the Dargah priest exchange the lemon with each other.<ref>{{Cite web|title=A Sacred Place That Bears the Message of Harmony|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2014/nov/17/a-sacred-place-that-bears-the-message-of-harmony-683346.html|access-date=2021-08-19|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

== Divine Vows ==
'''Hazrat Tawakkal Mastan Dargah''' is visited not only by Muslims but also by other religions. To get rid of their hardship, It is the regular practice of the devotees to lock the window grills of the Dargah. The traditional ritual here is to worship God by singing the Kavwali song every Fridays.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-07-04|title=History in the heart of the City|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/555970/history-heart-city.html|access-date=2021-08-19|website=Deccan Herald|language=en}}</ref>

'''Securities and Exchange Board Of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996''' is a set of regulations in [[India]] that govern [[mutual fund]]s. It is enforced by the [[Securities and Exchange Board of India]] (SEBI). The regulations have been primarily designed to protect the investors.<ref name="VIJ">{{cite book|author=VIJ|title=Merchant Banking and Financial Services|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i6T4HSUFzR4C&pg=PA264|accessdate=17 April 2015|publisher=Tata McGraw-Hill Education|isbn=978-1-259-08476-8|page=264}}</ref> This replace an older set of regulations from 1993. SEBI had been regulating the mutual fund market since 1991.<ref name="Machiraju2009">{{cite book|author=H R Machiraju|title=Indian Financial System|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dv8iQaTm_iAC&pg=PA183|accessdate=17 April 2015|edition=3|date=1 November 2009|publisher=Vikas Publishing House Pvt Ltd|isbn=978-81-259-2401-2|pages=182–183}}</ref>

==Summary==
All [[mutual fund]]s must register as [[Trust law|trust]]s under the [[Indian Trusts Act, 1882]]. The firm must set up a separate [[asset management company]] (AMC) to run mutual fund business. The net worth of the parent firm or AMC must be {{currency|50,000,000|INR}}. Mutual funds can be penalised for violating norms. Mutual funds dealing exclusively with the [[money market]] must register with the [[Reserve Bank of India]]. In 1995, private firms were allowed to enter the [[money market in India]] and deal with [[treasury bill]]s, [[commercial paper]]s, [[certificates of deposit]] etc. These are called Money Market Mutual Funds (MMMFs).<ref name="Kothari2010"/>

All other mutual funds must register with the SEBI. Now, there is a self-regulation agency for mutual funds, [[Association of Mutual Funds of India]] (AMFI).<ref name="Kothari2010">{{cite book|author=Rajesh Kothari|title=Financial Services in India: Concept and Application|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4yGxbcbQNLEC&pg=PA184|accessdate=17 April 2015|date=10 November 2010|publisher=SAGE Publications|isbn=978-81-321-0507-7|page=184}}</ref>

{{short description|Motif centred on an arch in Indian rock-cut architecture}}
[[File:Entrance Gate.JPG|thumb|right|The earliest surviving chaitya arch, at the entrance to the [[Lomas Rishi Cave]], 3rd century BC]]
In [[Indian architecture]], '''gavaksha''' or '''chandrashala''' ('''''kudu''''' in Tamil, also nāsī)<ref>properly: ''candraśālās'', ''gavākṣa'', ''kūḍu''. Harle, 49, 166, 276. Harle restricts use of ''candraśālā'' to examples from the Gupta period, when contemporary texts use that term.</ref> are the terms most often used to describe the [[motif (visual arts)|motif]] centred on an [[ogee]], circular or horseshoe [[arch]] that decorates many examples of [[Indian rock-cut architecture]] and later Indian structural temples and other buildings. In its original form, the arch is shaped like the cross-section of a [[barrel vault]]. It is called a chaitya arch when used on the facade of a [[chaitya]] hall, around the single large window.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.art-and-archaeology.com/asianartglossary.html#chandrashala|title=Glossary of Indian Art|access-date=2015-05-18}}</ref> In later forms it develops well beyond this type, and becomes a very flexible unit, "the most common motif of Hindu temple architecture".<ref>Harle, 48</ref> ''Gavākṣha'' (or '''gavaksa''') is a Sanskrit word which means "bull's or cow's eye". In Hindu temples, their role is envisioned as symbolically radiating the light and splendour of the central icon in its sanctum. Alternatively, they are described as providing a window for the deity to gaze out into the world.<ref>Elgood (2000), 103</ref>

Like the whole of the classic chaitya, the form originated in the shape of the wooden thatched roofs of buildings, none of which have survived; the earliest version replicating such roofs in stone is at the entrance to the non-Buddhist [[Lomas Rishi Cave]], one of the man-made [[Barabar Caves]] in [[Bihar]].<ref>Harle, 48; Michell, 217–218</ref>

The "chaitya arch" around the large window above the entrance frequently appears repeated as a small [[motif (visual arts)|motif]] in decoration, and evolved versions continue into Hindu decoration, long after actual chaityas had ceased to be built.<ref>Harle, 48</ref> In these cases it can become an elaborate [[cartouche (design)|cartouche]]-like frame, spreading rather wide, around a circular or semi-circular medallion, which may contain a sculpture of a figure or head. An early stage is shown in the entrance to Cave 9 at the [[Ajanta Caves]], where the chaitya arch window frame is repeated several times as a decorative motif. Here, and in many similar early examples, the interior of the arch in the motif contains low relief [[Latticework|lattice]] imitating receding roof timbers ([[purlin]]s).

==First stage==
[[File:City of Kusinagara in the War over the Buddha's Relics, South Gate, Stupa no. 1, Sanchi.jpg|thumb|left|The city of [[Kusinagara]] in the ''War over the Buddha's Relics'', South Gate, Stupa no. 1, [[Sanchi]].]]
The arched [[gable]]-end form seen at the [[Lomas Rishi Cave]] and other sites appears as a feature of both sacred and secular buildings represented in [[relief]]s from early Buddhist sites in India, and was evidently widely used for roofs made from plant materials in ancient Indian architecture.<ref>Hardy, 38; Harle, 43–48</ref>
Simple versions of similar structures remain in use today by the [[Toda people]] of the [[Nilgiri Hills]].<ref>Gowans, Alan. ''[[The Art Bulletin]]'', vol. 38, no. 2, 1956, pp. 127–129, [www.jstor.org/stable/3047649 JSTOR] (Review of Zimmer)</ref>

The rock-cut Lomas Rishi Cave was excavated during the reign of [[Ashoka]] in the [[Maurya Empire]] in the 3rd century BC, for the [[Ajivikas]], a non-Buddhist religious and philosophical group of the period. A band below the arch contains a [[Latticework|lattice]] in relief, presumably representing the ceiling of a thatched roof. Below that is a curved relief of a line of elephants. The entrance leads into the side of the hall, so unlike most later window frame examples, the arch bears no great relationship to the space it leads into. The immediately neighbouring cave in the same rock face has a plain undecorated recess at the entrance, which originally may have held a porch of similar design in plant materials.<ref>Harle, 48; Michell, 217–218</ref>
[[File:Osiya-temple & architecture 14.jpg|thumb|Piled-up gavakshas at [[Osian, Jodhpur]]]]

Early rock-cut [[chaitya]] halls use the same ogee shape for the main window needed to illuminate the interior, and often also have small [[relief]] window motifs as decoration. In these the inside of the arch has a series of square-ended projections representing the [[joist]]s, and inside that a curving lattice in low relief that represents the receding roof timbers of the inside of a notional building. At the bottom, a small area, more or less semi-circular, represents the far wall of the structure, and may be plain (e.g. [[Bhaja Caves]] over side galleries), show a different lattice pattern (e.g. [[Bhaja Caves]] main front), [[Pandavleni Caves]] cave 18, above), or a decorative motif (e.g. Cave 9, [[Ajanta Caves|Ajanta]], [[Pandavleni Caves]] cave 18, over doorway). Often the areas around these window or gable motifs have bands of [[latticework]], apparently representing lattice railings, similar to those shown edging the balconies and [[loggia]]s of the fort-palace in the relief of [[Kusinagara]] in the ''War over the Buddha's Relics'', South Gate, Stupa no. 1, [[Sanchi]]. This is especially the case at the [[Bedse Caves]],<ref>Harle, 48, 54</ref> in an early example of what [[James Fergusson (architect)|James Fergusson]] noted in the nineteenth century: "Everywhere ... in India architectural decoration is made up of small models of large buildings".<ref>Quoted in Hardy, 18</ref>

At the entrance to Cave 19 at Ajanta, four horizontal zones of the decoration use repeated "chaitya arch" motifs on an otherwise plain band (two on the projecting porch, and two above). There is a head inside each arch. Early examples include [[Ellora Caves]] 10, [[Ajanta Caves]] 9 and 19 and [[Varaha Cave Temple]] at [[Mamallapuram]].<ref>Harle, 276</ref>

==Later development==
[[File:1 façade du Chaitya Griha Vishvakarma Cave 10 Ellora India.jpg|thumb|The last chaitya hall window, Cave 10, [[Ellora]], c. 650]]
By around 650, the time of the last rock-cut chaitya hall, Cave 10 at [[Ellora]], the window on the facade has developed considerably. The main window is smaller, and now bears no relation to the roof inside (which still has the traditional ribs). It has only two of the traditional projections imitating [[purlin]] beam-ends, and a wide decorative frame that spreads over several times the width of the actual window opening. Two doors to the sides have [[Pediment|pediments]] with "split and superimposed" blind gavakshas, also with wide frames. This was to be the style of gavaksha that had already been widely adopted for the decoration of Hindu and Jain temples, and is seen in simplified form in the Buddhist [[Mahabodhi Temple]] at [[Bodh Gaya]], and the Hindu [[Dashavatara Temple, Deogarh]].<ref>Harle, 112, 132, 201; Hardy, 40</ref>

Also in the 7th century, the [[sukanasa]] developed. This is a very large developed gavaksha motif fixed on the outside of the temple tower over its entrance, normally standing vertical, although the tower slopes inwards.<ref>Kramrisch, 240–241; Harle, 140</ref>

By the end of the 7th century, and perhaps earlier, the entire faces of large [[shikhara]] towers or other surfaces could be taken up by grids of interlocking gavaksha motifs, often called "gavaksha mesh" or honeycomb.<ref>Harle, 134, 140</ref> Early examples include the Buddhist [[shikhara]] tower at the [[Mahabodhi Temple]], [[Bodh Gaya]], where the motifs cover most of the surface but do not actually interlock. This is of the 6th century at the latest, but perhaps restoring a design of as early as the 2nd or 3rd century.<ref>Harle, 201</ref> Cave 15 at [[Ellora]], complete by 730 if not before, and perhaps begun as a Buddhist excavation, may be one of the earliest examples of the full style.<ref>Harle, 134</ref> The motif spread to South India, for example the 7th and 8th century temples at [[Pattadakal]] in [[Karnataka]].

[[Gop Temple]] in [[Gujarat]], probably from the 6th century, is the largest and finest of a group of early temples in a distinct local style. The bare castle-like appearance of the central square tower today probably does not reflect the original design, as the upper parts of the structure around it are missing. Above the plain walls the sloping top includes three large gavakshas on each face, two below and one above, which are unusual in actually being open, rather than in shallow [[relief]], like almost all later gavakshas. Originally statues stood behind them, of which very little now remains.<ref>Harle, 136–138</ref>

Gavakshas are prominent in some temples of the 8th century [[Dieng temples|group on the Dieng plateau]] in central [[Java]], among the earliest monumental Hindu temples in modern [[Indonesia]].<ref>Michell (1988), 160–161</ref>

==Nāsīs of the south==
[[Adam Hardy (architectural historian)|Adam Hardy]] distinguishes between the gavaksha, which he largely restricts to the [[Nagara architecture]] of the north, and its cousin in the [[Dravidian architecture]] of the south, the nāsī ("kudu" in Tamil). He allows an early period of "gradual differentiation" as the nāsī evolves from the gavaksha, the first to appear. In a detailed analysis of the parts of the motif, he points to several differences of form. Among other characteristics of the nāsī, the motif has no frame at the base, the interior of the window is often blank (perhaps originally painted), and there is often a [[kirtimukha]] head at the top of the motif. In general, the form is less linear, and more heavily ornamented.<ref>Hardy, 101–103</ref>

== Paintings ==
The paintings are mostly drawings of people, animals and weapons used by early man. On one side of the wall is the painting of people who have been shown performing a mass dance in a group of 34 people on one side and 28 people on the other. These picture also depicted the clothes and domesticated animals, and are believed to represent life in the prehistoric village. Two painted rock shelters reveal paintings of animals and humans drawn with finger in black, red and white.
