Village of creative handloom weavers Elampillai is a small village situated in the district of Salem in the state of Tamilnadu, India.

It is around 25 KM from the Salem town. It is a thinly populated village.

The people here are engaged in agriculture and handloom weaving.

The average educational level is around 10th standard.

Handloom Industry Elampillai is well known for handloom products in silk, cotton, polyester and silkhon (110 Dinear).

The major community who is WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

engaged in weaving is Vanniyar.

It is from Elampillai, Silk Sarees are send to Tirupathi temple for decorating the deity during poojas.

They are sending around 100 Sarees per month through Cooptex, the co-operative society of handlooms in Tamilnadu. The specialty of Elampillai Saree is the Butta designs in the pallu and border.

MAY 2016 | WWW.WISHESH.COM

INDIAN DIASPORA FINE ART sarees are weaved. They also weave silk fabric for shirts.

Dyeing

Specialty

of Elampillai Saree 12

Elampillai handlooms are well known for the durability of the colours used in the yarn. The quality of colour gives the durability. The count used in weaving gives the softness and hardness of the fabric. Count means the number of threads used in the length and breadth for weaving known as warp and weft respectively. In Elampillai the count used is 80 by 80 for weaving. The width of the saree comes to 51 inches. Each and every thread of the Elampillai handloom saree is hand woven. Each weaver works from home with all his / her family members helping in different steps of the process. In Elampillai cotton, silk, polyester and silkhon (110 Dinear) handloom WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

The process of manufacturing an Elampillai handloom Saree starts with dyeing the silk yarn. Dyeing is the coloring process of the yarn by dipping the yarn in the boiled color water in very high temperature, higher the temperature durability of colour will be more.

Dyeing of the yarn is done making sure that the color is spread uniformly throughout the yarn and it does not affect the quality of the yarn.

The coloring process is a very crucial step in getting a good colourful saree.

The colours are applied as per the specifications of the designers and also some times as per the orders from customers who orders for a designer Saree.

After coloring, the silk yarn is dried in shade. Drying yarn in sun can be harmful to yarn.

Weaving After dyeing and drying the yarn it is converted to thread

and is loaded as warp which is called pavvu and then it is loaded into the loom for actual weaving. It is also rolled over small sticks to use for weft. One pavvu will make 13 sarees. It will take 1 month to complete weaving of one pavvu.

Elampillai handloom sarees are traditionally woven in the interlocked-weft technique.

Designs The

design required on the saree is initially drawn in a computer and then this is punched into a card and these cards are loaded in Jacard in the loom. Jacard is a box like structure which is fixed in the top of the loom. There will be needles in the Jacard which

will read the punched cards and control the weaving of weft.

Decline of

Handloom

industry in Elampillai

Due to the high cost of silk yarn now the weavers of Elampillai struggling to continue in the profession. Now there are only very few weavers weaving Elampillai silk handloom products. Once famous Elampillai Handloom products are now becoming extinct due to the high cost of silk yarn and low wages prevailing in the industry.

Previously Elampillai was full of talented weavers who used to do magic in the looms to produce the best handloom products. There is an emergency situation to take necessary action to protect the traditional Elampillai handloom products.

Voice of handloom weaver’s

The weavers of Elampillai blame the mushrooming

power looms for the high cost of silk yarn. The weavers demand a responsible role by the government to protect the handloom industry by providing subsidy for yarn and a rehabilitation package for the weavers who are suffering due to high cost of yarn and low wages prevailing in the industry. They hope that if the government takes the responsibility to support the handloom industry by way of showcasing and marketing the handloom products, the industry can survive or else the present situation has started the end of handloom industry in Elampillai. The new generation is not interested in the profession

due to the hard labour and long hours to bring out the finished product, the returns are also not lucrative to make them stay in the profession.

Due to the non availability of weavers the handloom industry is fastly shifting to power looms.

INDIAN DIASPORA TRADITION

BAZIGAR with ethnical identity

14

WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

Bazigars are a nomad gipsy-folk of India and Pakistan who are found throughout North India. They live a different life from the surrounding Hindu population and still preserve the ethnical identity.

T

They mostly make their livings as jugglers, makers, basket-weavers and fortune-tellers and in true European gipsy fashion each clan has its king. They are found in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

The Bazigar are further subdivided into five sub-groups, the Jogi, Badtia (vertiya), Mushal (muchhals), Dharamsot and Namsout.

The first four sub-divisions cannot intermarry, but Namsout only marry within the clan. The Bazigar were either Hindu or Muslim, but with the departure of their Muslim patrons, the Bazigar have embraced Sikhism.

They have also abandoned their traditional dialect Bazigar boli for standard Punjabi.

The name Bazigar is derived from the Urdu word bazi, which means an acrobat. They claims to be Chauhan Rajputs, who took the occupation of acrobatics to escape the persecution and attempts of forcefull convertion to Islam during the period of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. They have now been granted Scheduled Caste status in Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The Bazigar speak their own dialect, known as bazigar boli, while speaking in Hindi with outsiders.

History of

Centuries Ahluwalia WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

Ahluwalia is derived from a place name Ahlu + -walia, a Panjabi adjectival suffix.

According to Ibbetson (1916), Ahlu is the name of a village near Lahore which was founded by Sada Singh Kalal, a man of the Kalal community.

The Ahluwalia or Ahluwale Caste are a Punjabi community in the Punjab region of northwestern India.

There are many stories regarding the Ahluwalia community. The identity of Ahluwalia caste is that of ‘Kalal’.

Kalal is a caste of professional distillers and wine-sellers.

During 18th century , one of the member of Kalal caste by the name of Jassa Kalal converted to Sikhism and rose to prominence . His descendants started calling themselves ‘Ahluwalia’ because Jassa Kalal was from the village ‘Ahlo’.

Ahluwalia is a Sikh clan from India, that originated from a misl of the same name; the name Ahluwalia is derived from Ahlu, the ancestral village of the misl leaders. The Ahluwalia misl was one of the 12 major Sikh misls, and held land to the north of Sutlej river.

Sultan ul Quam Nawab Jassa Singh Ahluwalia was born at the village of Ahlu, in Lahore district of Punjab, (Majha region), in

the year 1718. Ahlu village was established by his ancestor, Sadda singh, a disciple of the sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Gobind. His forefathers were Kalals (wine merchants) and hence, he is also referred to as “Jassa Singh Kalal”.

Jassa Singh, is said to have been the most powerful and influential chief that the Sikhs ever had till the rise of Ranjit Singh. The Ahluwalias ruled Kapurthala, a district in the Panjab which was once a small princely state.

Naughty and innocent

Childhood of

Sri Krishna WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

Naughty little Krishna and Balarama started moving around. Playfully, they crawled together on their knees and arms. The sound of their ankle bells were delightful. These children used to mistake women passers-by for their mother and crawl behind them.

The women used to enjoy the sight of the charming crawlers and exclaim, “Oh, see how Krishna and Balarama are crawling!”

In their curiosity, the tiny tots would sometimes catch the ends of the tails of the calves. The calves, frightened by the touch would begin to flee here and there. The little ones would hold tightly to them, as if they are afraid. The calves, still more frightened, would run all the more. The ladies used

to rescue the children and would laugh and enjoy the fun.

Days passed by merrily in Gokula. Rama and Krishna were growing up. They began to run on their feet.

Joining with other boys the two kids began their pranks.

Their mischief delighted the hearts of the Gopis. Yasoda had to often listen to the complaints about her son’s mischief in the houses of the Gopis.

One of them would tell her, “Yesterday Krishna came to my house early in the morning. I was busy getting ready to milk the cows. I went to the cowshed and what did I find? Krishna had long back untied the calf which had drunk all the milk.

When I turned back, I saw him standing at a distance with a mischievous look on his face. I tried to chase him, but he took to his heels and disappeared into another house.”

I was careful and Krishna could not find anything to eat in my home.

So he pinched my sleeping child.

It began to cry. Laughing merrily Krishna ran away.

Another Gopi would tell her complaint, “Your son is an expert thief! He devises a hundred ways to steal butter and curds from my house. He eats up some of it and the rest he gives to the monkeys which eagerly wait on the trees. If he cannot reach the pots which are kept high, he throws stones and breaks the pots.

He stands below with his friends, mouths wide open.

They drink the curd falling from the pot.”

could not reach it. They piled up various planks. Above them they placed the tripod I use for churning the butter.

On that Balarama climbed.

Still they could not reach.

Then Krishna climbed on the back of Balarama. All the butter was swallowed.

Just then I entered the room and caught hold of Krishna.

But he was undaunted. And what a look he had! Silently he said as it were, ‘I am the owner of this house and you are the thief.’

Another Gopi would say, “I was careful and Krishna could not find anything to eat in my home. So he pinched my sleeping child. It began to cry. Laughing merrily Krishna ran away.”

“I had just washed my house” said another, ‘ ‘Krishna came and demanded butter. I said, ‘I have nothing to give’. Then in retaliation, when I was busy with the household work, he brought all sorts of mud from outside, threw it all into the house and ran away”.

Yet another complained, “I kept the milk and curd high on a swing hanging from the ceiling. Krishna and Balarama came there, but

Each Gopi narrated their own tale of woe. But all the while none was angry with Krishna Rather they all enjoyed his pranks. Krishna was all the while listening to the tales about Himself standing in a corner with a mischievous look.

Yasoda turned towards him with angry eyes. At this, tears filled his eyes. Who could bear to see Krishna in tears? Mother Yasoda took him on her lap at once. The beautiful face of Krishna, his innocent eyes and his sweet smile always haunted the minds of the Gopis.

HEALTHY LIVING

Healthy living makes you

a happier person Finding happiness in your everyday life can make a positive impact on your overall health. Leading a healthy lifestyle may not necessarily be following an eating and exercise plan.

28

Happiness has a positive effect in lowering cortisol levels, the stress hormone that is related to health conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune diseases.

Gabrielle Bernstein, in her newest New York Times best-seller, Miracles Now, writes that meditation helps “because it gives you time to reflect, bring inner peace, and make a true assessment of where you are in your life and where you can go.”

A study from JAMA Internal Medicine reveals that meditation can help reduce stress and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, which are related to myriad health conditions.

How to make your day happier everyday Make your first thought of the day a happy one.

“When we look at ourselves in the mirror everyday morning and think of all the things we want to change, that’s a choice we make,” says Bernstein. “Make the commitment to think differently about yourself and make happiness the first thing of the day.”

Snap out of a negative mindset. Plagued by undesirable or destructive thoughts about yourself or others can make your day uninteresting. Take out these feelings out of your mind, which can carry on your day happily.

Unleash your inner child.

WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

When we become more childlike, we grow our capacity for curiosity and creativity. “Open up to silliness and have more fun.

That childlike energy brings us a much more positive perspective and releases tension,” Bernstein says.

Sleep peacefully. Sleep is essential to optimal health.

It is a spiritual practice that benefits us mentally and emotionally. To help you get a restful night of sleep, Bernstein recommends using this simple Kundalini breathing technique. Sit up straight on your bed and breathe in using a U breath (Pucker your mouth as if you were holding a quarter between your lips.). Breathe in and exhale through your nose. Continue this cycle of breath for one minute.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it has completed the computerised draw of lots for granting 65,000 H-1B visas.

WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

The computerised draw of lots would determine the successful applicants for the 65,000 Congressional mandated H-1B visas and another 20,000 for the foreign students who have completed their higher studies from a US academic institute in subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), the statement said.

The USCIS will reject and return all unselected petitions along with their filing fees, unless the petition is found to be a duplicate filing, it said.

As announced on March 16 this year, the USCIS will begin premium processing for H-1B cap cases no later than May 16.

A senior Nasscom executive said that “the details would take some time to emerge but Indian companies such as TCS, Infosys and Wipro are expected to get a lion’s share of the visas. Canada and the Phillipines are the closest competitors.”

Nasscom, estimates local IT firms would incur an extra $400 million a year in costs due to the spike in visa fees.

H1-B visa, popular among Indian techies, is used by American companies to employ foreign workers in occupations that require highly specialised knowledge in fields such as science, engineering and computer programming.

Trump said that he called up his credit card company to find out whether their customer support is based in the US or overseas. “Guess what, you’re talking to a person from India. How the hell does that work?” he told his supporters in Delaware.

“So I called up, under the guise I’m checking on my card, I said, ‘Where are you from?’” Trump said and then he mimiced the Indian accent. “We are from India,” Trump impersonated the response.

Uttarakhand Crisis are courts going overboard

The Uttarakhand high court said that the President’s decision to suspend the state assembly is “open for judicial review” as even he can go “horribly wrong”.

The bench of Chief Justice K M Joseph and Justice V K Bist “hoped” that the government would not “provoke” the court by revoking President’s Rule till a verdict is delivered on the petition challenging its imposition.

The bench said: “There is nothing like unreviewability.

We are not sitting here to judge the political wisdom of the President. People can go wrong. A President or judge may be an excellent person, however he (President) can also go horribly wrong.”

“There is no king or absolutism. However high you are, the law is above you. Legitimacy of relevant inference drawn from the material that is placed before President is open for judicial review,” it said.

there were 27 BJP MLAs and 9 Congress MLAs who sought division on March 18. There is absolutely no material for the cabinet to say that 35 MLAs sought division. The Governor’s report is silent on this. This is very crucial,” said the bench.

“Why is it the concern of the Governor. Does that warrant imposition of President’s Rule? This is irrelevant. And I must say that I’m shocked,” said the bench.

“Why was the complaint filed on April 5 after President’s Rule was imposed? We were WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

You are making such terrible allegations (against the Speaker). Is this how Government of India functions? What do you (Centre) have to say about this? This is not to be taken lightly as that (Speaker’s conduct regarding disqualification) was also the basis of President’s satisfaction. We are taking a serious note of this,” said the bench.

The over enthusiasm in blaming the central government and making unnecessary comment on the President of India by the Uttarakhand high court has surprised many. The courts remarks were seen as a biased approach in favouring the Congress and Harish Rawat government.

“What has been happening is a very serious and grievous matter for any state, you don’t revoke President’s rule just like that. Everything has to be looked into a balance has to be struck,” said the bench as it expressed displeasure at the High Court for not releasing a written judgment.

It asserted: “There has to be

a balance. We are slightly concerned…Article 356 (Presidential proclamation) is a serious matter for both sides…there are a few matters of propriety. If the High Court had signed the judgment, we could have looked into it. For a party to take remedial action, a written order has to be there.”

Justice Singh said: “If I were the High Court judge, I would have made my judgment operational only after three or four days when it is signed and ready. It is more on propriety than legality.

“

Governance of a state cannot be left in the lurch.”

“Interference by a constitutional court in exercise of its power of judicial review pertaining to justifiability of Presidential proclamation is a serious issue. We will take on record the copy of the judgment and go through it. This matter may go to a Constitution bench,” observed the bench.

Rafale Combat

Aircraft Deal in the final stage

42

Defence minister Manohar Parrikar has said that the Rafale aircraft deal with France it is not complete as yet, but at an “advanced stage” and the intention is to “close it quite soon”.

WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

The government “saved” public money and the deal has resulted in a gain of “technological knowledge” and “strengthening the air power to defend the border”, it had said.

“I can only tell you this much that while the deal is in quite an advanced stage, and we intent to close it quite soon, I still can’t say that negotiations are totally cleared until we sign the deal or at least the deal is forwarded to the Cabinet for approval,” Parrikar said.

The cost of the 36 Rafales, as per the earlier tender, comes to around Rs 65,000 crore. India has been bargaining for a price that is less than 8 billion Euro (Rs 59,000 crore). “The deal to buy 36 state-of-the-art Rafale aircraft from France at 12 billion dollar (Rs 80000 crore) was re-negotiated and finalised at 8.8 billion dollar (around Rs 59000 crore),” the BJP tweet said.

The government “saved” public money and the deal has resulted in a gain of “technological knowledge” and “strengthening the air power to defend the border”, it had said.

Rafales are twin-engine Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA)

manufactured by Dassault Aviation, a French firm.

Rafale fighter jets are positioned as ‘omnirole’ aircrafts that are capable to perform a wide-range of combat roles such as air supremacy, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, ground support, in-depth strike, anti-ship strike and nuclear deterrence.

Six renowned aircraft manufacturers competed to bag the contract of 126 fighter jets, which was touted to be the largest-ever defence procurement deal of India. The Initial bidders were Lockheed Martin’s F-16s, Boeing’s F/A-18s, Eurofighter Typhoon, Russia’s MiG-35, Sweden’s Saab’s Gripen and Rafale.

All aircrafts were tested by the IAF and after careful analysis on the bids, two of them — Eurofighter and Rafale — were shortlisted.

Dassault bagged the contract to provide 126 fighter jets, as it was the lowest bidder and the aircraft were said to be easy to maintain.

Anant Laxman Kanhere Brave revolutionary and freedom fighter Anant Laxman Kanhere was born in 1891 at Bramhanwadi, Aayani (Anjani), a small village in Khed Taluka, Ratnagiri district. He had two brothers and two sisters. He completed his primary education in Nizamabad (which was then also called as Indur), and his English education took place in Aurangabad.

A

Anantrao used to stay with his friend Gangaram Marwadi, who was a businessman, in connection with his studies. Ganagram had taken the oath of ‘Abhinav Bharat’.

Gangaram first put Anantrao to the test before giving him the oath of patriotism. Gopalrao Dharap was a member of Abhinav Bharat in Nashik. Anantrao was enraged when he learnt that Babarao Savarkar was shackled and

paraded in public due to tyrannical Jackson. He expressed his wish to Gopalrao to eliminate Jackson.

Jackson, the district collector of Nashik tried his best to see that people were scared of the British and they kept away from any efforts towards acquiring independence. A British officer named William had kicked to death an innocent farmer; but MAY 2016 | WWW.WISHESH.COM

I carried out this auspicious act to take revenge for the oppression of Hindu people by the British. I punished the oppressor Jackson with death.

Jackson protected him. He punished all the youth who sang ‘Vande Mataram’. He proved advocate Khare to be mad for providing legal aid to the patriots and sent him to jail in Dharwad. He drove away a scholar, Tambe Shastri from Nashik who used to create awareness amongst the youth about independence through stories from the ‘Puranas’.

He got Babarao Savarkar arrested for publishing patriotic songs and paraded him in shackles. Babarao was transported from Nashik.

The hypocritical and cruel Jackson became a thorn in the side of revolutionaries.

On 19th September 1909, Anantrao went to Nashik from Aurangabad by train.

He was given his own gun by Vinayakrao Deshpande. He went to the district collector’s office and observed Jackson.

Jackson was promoted from the post of district collector and was transferred from Nashik. Programs were being arranged to bid him farewell.

"

The revolutionaries thought that it would become difficult to kill Jackson once he was transferred from Nashik and therefore, they decided to kill him soon.

Anna Karve was in Nashik at that time. He made a plan to kill Jackson. On 29th December 1909, a Marathi drama titled ‘Sharda’ was staged by Kirloskar Theaters in honour of Jackson and in the interval of this play, there was going to be a felicitation of Jackson followed by a few speeches.

Anna Karve finalized this day to kill Jackson. He gave two Browning pistols, sent

by Swa. Savarkar from London, to Anantrao. It was decided that after firing at Jackson, he should shoot himself or eat a poisonous sweet. In case Anantrao failed to kill Jackson, Anna Karve would do the job and if even he failed, Vinayakrao Deshpande would fire at Jackson.

theatre hall, Anantrao swiftly took out his revolver and shot at Jackson from behind but the bullet missed the target and flew past Jackson’s hand; then immediately, Anantrao came forward and shot 4 times at Jackson from thefront. Bleeding, Jackson collapsed on the floor. He told Todarmal and Khopkar, police officers, “I carried out this auspicious act to take revenge for the oppression of Hindu people by the British.

I punished the oppressor Jackson with death. I do not want to run away.”

As per the verdict, Anant Kanhere, Anna Karve and Vinayak Deshpande were sentenced to death. On 19th April 1910, these 3 young men were sent to the gallows at 7.00 a.m. in Thane jail; they looked very calm and brave. At the age of 18, Anant Kanhere sacrificed his life for the freedom of our country.

Tribhubaneswar Bhubaneswar is the capital city of the state of Orissa or Odhisha, India. Bhubaneswar is situated in the eastern coastal plains of Orissa and south-west of the Mahanadi River at an altitude of 45 meters above sea level. The modern city of Bhubaneswar was designed by the German architect Otto Konigsberg in 1946.

History The city has a long history of over 2000 years starting with Chedi dynasty (around 2nd century BC) that had Sisupalgarh near present-day Bhubaneswar as their capital.

Historically Bhubaneswar

has been known by different names such as Toshali, Kalinga Nagari, Nagar Kalinga, Ekamra Kanan, Ekamra Kshetra and Mandira Malini Nagari otherwise known as the temple city of India.

Together with Puri, Konark and Bhubaneswar forms the ‘Swarna Tribhuja’ (the

‘Golden Triangle’), one of the most visited destinations in East India. It has a proud possession of magnificent sculptures and architectural heritage, coupled with the sanctity as Ekamra Kshetra, makes it one of the great Hindu religious centres of Orissa since early medieval days.

Bhubaneswar at one point of time is said to have had over a thousand temples.

The most famous ones are Lingaraj Temple, Lakshmanesvara group of temples, Parasuramesvara Temple, Svarnajalesvara Temple, Muktesvara Temple, Rajarani Temple, Vaital Temple, Brhamesvara temple, Meghesvara temple, Vaskaresvara Temple, Ananta Vasudeva Temple, Sari Temple, Kapilesvara Temple, Markandesvara temple, Yamesvara temple, Chitrakarini temple, Sisiresvara Temple.

Lingaraj Temple The 10th or 11th century Lingaraj temple of Bhubaneswar has been described as “the truest fusion of dream and reality”. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Lingaraj temple has been rated as one of the finest examples of Hindu temples in India by Ferguson, the noted art critic and historian.

The surface of the 55 m-high Lingaraj temple is covered with carvings. Tradition among Hindus exist, that one should visit the Lingaraj Temple before visiting the Jagannath temple at Puri.

The great Lingaraj temple represents Orissan temple architecture at its most mature and fully developed stage. It has, in fact, been described WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

The 10th or 11th century Lingaraj temple of Bhubaneswar has been described as “the truest fusion of dream and reality”

as ‘time quintessence of Orissan architecture’.

Sanskrit texts hold that there was a stone temple here as early as the seventh century AD, and fragments of this earlier structure do seem to appear in the extant building.

The deul (tower) of the Lingaraj temple reaches a height of just over 180 feet (55 meters). It is completely curvilinear, and

the extraordinary soaring tower can be seen to incorporate miniature replicas of itself, in turrets inserted on the ribs of the spire. In addition to the deul and the Jagmohana (porch), the Lingaraj temple adds two other structures: Natyamandira - hall of dance, which is undoubtedly associated with the prominent devadasi system and Bhogmandap - hall of offering.

By the time the Lingaraj temple was constructed, the Jagannath cult had become predominant throughout Orissa. This has reflected in the fact that the temple deity here, the Svayambhu linga, is not, as in all other cases, strictly a Shiva linga. It is considered to be a ‘Hari-Hara’ linga, that is, half Lord Shiva and half Lord Vishnu. There are 150 subsidiary shrines within the immense Lingaraj temple complex.

Mukteswar Temple

Mukteswar Temple

The small and elegant Mukteswar temple (AD 950) is often referred to as the “miniature gem of Orissan architecture”. In addition to its beauty, the Mukteswar temple has importance as a transition point between the early and later phases of the Kalinga School of temple architecture.

Many elements of the old with new designs and conceptions are successfully combined.

Many of the innovations took root and became essential features of all later temples.

Mukteswar temple is known

as the “harbinger of the new culture”.

The relationship with older structures can be immediately seen in the small size of the temple - 35 feet (11 meters) high at the pinnacle of the tower. The latticed windows of the ‘Jagmohana’ (porch) and the octagonal compound wall seems to have been patterned on an earlier structure which now exists only in fragmentary form. Muktesvara temple’s stunningly beautiful gateway was strongly based on the earlier architecture. The ‘Torana’ (arched gateway) of the Mukteswar temple deserves special attention.

It’s extraordinarily beautiful sculpture includes elaborate scrolls, graceful female figures, monkeys, peacocks, and a wealth of delicate and lovely decorative detail.

The Jagmohana building here has become a structure in its own right, and is seen as the later shape of a terraced pyramid (although the internal shape has not become a real square). Over the doorway to the inner sanctum, the ninth planet of the Indian astrology (Ketu, identified by the canopied, three hooded snake) can be seen.

On the eastern side of the temple compound is a sacred tank, and in the south west corner is a well which is said to cure fertility problems.

Several small shrines can be seen within the compound, many with lingam inside.

Parsurameswar Temple

The Parsurameswar temple (650 AD) is the earliest temple, and is based on style, as well as on the eight planets which appear over the door to the inner sanctum.

In later temples, there are nine. This small temple shows the early stages of development of the two main Orissan temple components: the beehive-shaped tower (generally referred to as the deul) and the porch in front of the tower (generally called the Jagmohana). The tower is built in successive, inwardtapering stories, marked by loti form corner pieces.

Light enters the interior through skylights, doors, and pierced latticed windows. The rectangular niches running around the base of the porch contain images of diverse deities. Although this was a Siva temple, it is interesting to note that images of Vishnu, as well as the Vedic nature deities of Indra, Surya and Yama appear, in addition to a group of seven mother Goddesses. On the southern wall is a fine image of Karttikeya (one of the sons of Siva) riding on a peacock, his traditional mount.

Rajarani temple The Rajarani temple, dating back to the eleventh century, is set in open paddy fields, WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

and the entire structure exudes grace and elegance. The name Rajarani is related to the lovely red-and- gold sandstone used in its construction, a stone which is locally known as Rajarania. The deul (tower), is spectacularly ornate, and is famous for the aesthetic concept of miniature temple spires clustered around the main tower. The sculptural images of the temple are elegant and lively, especially the beautiful female figures which can be seen in amorous dalliance, as well as engaged in such activities as holding children, looking in mirrors, and playing with pet birds. On the lower register of the deul, on the corner projections, are found the famous ‘Guardians of the Eight Directions’, watching over and radiating the temple’s power to the eight cardinal points. Beginning from the left of the entrance to the deul and proceeding in a clockwise direction, they are: Indra (east, chief of the 33 Vedic nature deities); Agni (south-east, Vedic God of fire); Yama (south, God of death); Nirriti (south-west, deity related to suffering); Varuna (west, a Vedic deity of the ocean); Vayu (north-west, wind God); Kubera (north, lord of wealth, shown here with a wish-fulfilling tree); and Ishana (north-east, a form of Shiva).

Vaital Temple The Vaital Temple (AD 800) represents the Khakhara order

(a subdivision of the Kalinga School of architecture) which was used for shrines devoted to tantric cults.

The deul (tower) of the temple has the most striking difference. It is rectangular in shape, positioned at a right angle to the Jagmohana (porch). A brief look at the Vaital Temple will show an extremely accomplished style of sculptural decoration.

The temple was dedicated to Tantric worship, which combined elements from certain sects of both Buddhism and Hinduism, centered on the worship of Shakti, the female life force. It developed elaborate rituals involving magic spells, secret rituals and sacrificial offerings.

The interior of the Vaital Temple’s inner sanctum is almost completely dark, in keeping with the esoteric rites believed to have been performed there. The temple deity is of Chamundi (tantric form of the Hindu goddess Durga) is dimly visible behind the grille, portrayed with a garland of skulls around her neck, seated on a corpse, flanked by an owl and a jackal. Her emaciated body, sunken eyes, and shrunken belly are quite remarkable. On the outer, eastern face of the tower there is an extremely fine image of the sun god, Surya, with a sensitive and beautiful face. He is flanked by Usha and Pratyusha, twin sisters

The first erotic sculptures known in Orissan art are found here, in a sunken transitional panel on the super-structure. It has been suggested that these images, which are a sort of catalogue of positions, had real relevance to the tantric rituals of this particular temple.

Khandagiri & Udayagiri The twin hills of Kumargiri and Kumarigiri known as Khandagiri & Udayagiri, has served as the site of an ancient Jain monastery which

Khandagiri & Udayagiri MAY 2016 | WWW.WISHESH.COM

was carved into cave like chambers in the face of the hill. These caves, with artistic carvings date back to the 2nd century BC. The magnificent artistic carvings are the Rani Gumpha (Queen’s Cave) and the Hathi Gumpha (Elephant Cave) are of special attention.

The Hathi Gumpha has carved chronicles of King Kharavela’s reign of 1st - 2nd century BC. Khandagiri, with its 15 caves on the left and Udayagiri on the right.

The rocks of the Khandagiri and Udayagiri hills were carved and tunneled, to create this multi-storied ancient apartment residence for Jain monks. They were the work of the first known Orissan ruler, King Kharavela, and probably begun in the first century BC. Kharavela was a king of the Mahameghavahana dynasty, who is known for expansion of the Kalinga Empire and his installation of public improvements, such as canal systems. His queen was evidently quite a patron of the arts, and probably had much to do with the impressive sculptural decoration of the caves.

The 18 caves of Udayagiri include the famous Hathi Gumpha (‘Elephant Cave’) with its famous inscription of Kharavela from which we can learn much about Kharavela’s military exploits, gated towers of his royal city, bathing and drinking tanks, the scenes of formally organized music WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

and dance performances, as well as sporting and social events. The famous Rani Gumpha (‘Queen’s Cave’), also on Udayagiri, has upper and lower stories, a spacious courtyard, and elaborate sculptural friezes.

The carvings show popular legends, historical scenes, and religious functions, as well as many dancers. The Ganesh Gumpha, which is reached by a walkway from the lower storey of the Rani Gumpha, is isolated, and perhaps for this reason, better preserved.

Its two dwelling-spaces with verandah in front are reached by a short staircase from the courtyard.

All of the caves are small, and follow the natural configurations of the ‘living rock’. The sculpture throughout exhibits a strong, lively folk element, which has been executed with a sure and confident hand. The spaces are filled with animal, human, and divine personages and decorative details, showing the love of the Orissan artist for richly elaborated scenes.

In Khandagiri there is a magnificent Jain temple which can be seen from Udayagiri.

It is here that Asoka, the terrible, was transformed into Asoka, the compassionate. Asoka erected two main edicts in Kalinga, one in Dhauli and the other in Jayagarh. The principles of Asoka which reflects his compassion were inscribed on all the other edicts in his empire except Kalinga. In the Kalinga edicts he warned the people of Kalinga not to revolt and that he would take appropriate action if they did. This is in sharp contrast to all of his other edicts and proof of his political acumen. The edicts are remarkably well preserved, despite the fact

The Shanti Stupa or the peace pagoda, built through the IndoJapanese collaboration, in the early seventies by the Japan Buddha Sangha and Kalinga Nippon Buddha Sangha is in Dhauli Giri.

From the top of Dhauli Giri we can see the battle field of the infamous Kalinga war.

The river which flows side by is the Daya river which was first known as Kamini and then called Koon Pyasi due the blood of the battlers of the Kalinga war was flown into this river. When Emperor Asoka repented for the war

and changed his mind to embrace Buddhism the river was renamed as Daya Nadhi.

Chousathi Yogini Temple On the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, 15 km southeast of the city at Hirapur is a small, circular temple, the Yogini Temple, dating to the early ninth century. It is hypaethral (open to the sky), and belongs to a genre of architecture completely apart from the major Orissan school.

Although it seems that temples of this type existed throughout India at one time, today only four remains. Two of them are in Orissa; the shrine at Hirapur, and one in the far

western reaches of the state, at Ranipur-Jharial.

The temple’s circular wall, which is barely 2 metre high, contains 64 niches within its inner circumference.

All except one of these contain an image of a Yogini Goddess. Some of the Goddesses are portrayed with sensual bodies and jeweled bodices, others with horrific shrunken features, still others with animal heads. Even today, standing in the deserted temple with bright sunshine pouring in, one senses a strange emanation from the temple, and this feeling is in keeping with its original purpose.

Active between the ninth and thirteenth centuries, the MAY 2016 | WWW.WISHESH.COM

cults responsible for these temples worshipped Yogini Goddesses in expectation of the direct acquisition of supernatural powers.

The Yoginis were thought to be able to confer on their devotees the power to become microscopic or gigantic in size, to control the body and mind of oneself and of others, to fly, become invisible, and myriad other useful abilities.

74

Locally known as Mahamaya Mandir, this hypaethral shrine facing east was discovered in 1953 by Kedarnath Mahapatra of the Orissa state Museum. The circular shrine measures 27.4 metre in circumference and 2.4 metre in height, have a frontal projection resembling “Yoni” (Vagina) female reproductive organ. The inner parts of the temple is made of locally available coarse sandstone, it harbours images of Yoginis.

The pillar like structure in the middle of the temple represents the Penis – male reproductive organ. The image of Ten-armed presiding deity of the pitha is worshiped as Mahamaya and is the largest among the Yoginis.

Whereas in the centre exists a lately restored Chandi Mandap displaying 4 Saivite figures and Yoginis, the entirely delicately rendered imagery notable for feminine beauty is carved in chlorite brought from elsewhere.

The projected niches on the exterior of the edifice are studded with icons of WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

In commenting on this rare occasion, the National Geographic magazine pointed out that Orissa must be the only place in the world with enough sophistication to have a modern, well designed zoo, and enough

INDIAN HISTORY

Pallavas the golden period of temple architecture

76

The origin of the first Pallava King is believed to be from a liaison between the daughter of a Naga king of Manipallava named Pilli Valai (Pilivalai) with a Chola king, Killivalavan, out of which union was born a prince, who was lost in a ship wreck and found with a twig (pallava) of Cephalandra Indica (Tondai) around his ankle and hence named Tondai-man.

INDIAN HISTORY

Pallavas,the pastoral tribe emerged as a powerful ruler and commanded the region of Thondaimandalam from its capital located at Pallavapuri (Bhavatri, of Nellore in Andhra). They were of sect “Thiraiyar” and the region they ruled was called”Thondaimandalam”.

When the capital was washed away by the sea due to natural disaster, they moved downwards to Kanchipuram and settled there to establish a more powerful kingdom with its territory even occupying as far as Northern Orissa, Tanjore and Trichi.

78

Kanchipuram thus became their new abode. Though classical writings talks about Pallavas, there is no particular mention of any Pallava rulers’s name. But the excavation carried out by the Indian archeological department reveals the earliest possible reign dated back to 1st and 2nd century AD. The earliest known coinage in lead is issued by the then Pallavs, which could be dated between 3rd and 4th century AD. Around 4th century AD, Pallavas defeated Ikshvakus and occupied the land as far as river Krishna. Allahabad inscription throws the light WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

on a ruler Hastivarman of Vengi’s defeat to Samudragupta in the 4th century. The copper plate of mid 4th century, talked about the Pallava grant in Andhra

by Siva Skandavarman.

During the 5th century, the Pallavas expanded and crossed the river Krishna and occupied Bellary, Sorth and South Arcot, Trichirapalli, Chengalpet and part of Tanjore. At the end of

500 AD, the territory came into the possession of Simha Vishnu and he became the founder of the Pallava dynasty. He fought several wars and the empire enjoyed prosperity. After his death, his son Mahendravarman succeded.

He was a learned man, he started the work of cave temple at Mahabalipuram.

the riches of kanchi and wanted to capture it. He came with a huge army and defeated Mahendravarman at Pullalur in 620 A.D. It was a great insult to the pallavas and Mahendravarman in particular. This ruined his health. His further attempts to take revenge in a series of battles with Pulikes in the northern part of Tamilnadu were all futile. All went in vain and he died a broken man in 630 A.D.

Mahendravarman’s son Narasimhavarman ascended the throne in 630 A.D, and vowed to revenge the insult done to his father by the Chalukyas. With immense strength and tact he defeated Pulikesi II in the Battle of Manimangalam and Pariyalam in the year 632 AD. He completely burnt the capital city of Pulakesi. A man with well built physique was a great wrestler too.

Narasimhavarman completed the cave temples of Mahabalipuram and constructed immense number of temples. The Pallava dynasty was not that peak as under this ruler ever.

But the successors managed to safeguard the territory until Cholas took their toll in the 9th century. The greatest dynasty thus saw its end once for all.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter – 3 Verse – 35

One’s own religion is superior than anybody else’s religion 90

Sloka: sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah para-dharmat sv-anusthitat sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah para-dharmo bhayavahah

Word to word Meaning sreyan—far better sva-dharma—one’s prescribed duties vigua—even faulty para-dharmat—from duties mentioned for others svanuthitat—than perfectly done sva-dharme—in one’s prescribed duties nidhanam—destruction areya—better para-dharma—duties prescribed for others bhaya-avaha—dangerous WWW.WISHESH.COM | MAY 2016

Lord Krishna states that it is better to follow one’s own duties according to station and rank in life, as enjoined by the Vedic scriptures.

Verse meaning It is far better to discharge one’s prescribed duties, even though they may be faulty, than another’s duties. Destruction in the course of performing one’s own duty is better than engaging in another’s duties, for to follow another’s path is dangerous.

Explanation One should discharge his prescribed duties in full consciousness, rather than those prescribed for others.

Prescribed duties complement one’s psychophysical condition, under the spell of the

modes of material nature. Both materially or spiritually, one should stick to his prescribed duties even up to death, rather than imitate another’s prescribed duties.

Duties on the spiritual platform and duties on the material platform may be different, but the principle of following the authorized direction is always good for the performer. When one is under the spell of the modes of material nature, one should follow the prescribed rules for particular situations and should not imitate others.

One should engage themselves in their duties

overriding one’s normal inclinations which are even seen to be in the natures of animals. Engage in ones own duty, that one possesses in the correct inner mentality to accomplish it, but for engagment in other’s duty in the correct inner mentality would not be present, even if the external action was performed perfectly.

Lord Krishna states that it is better to follow one’s own duties according to station and rank in life, as enjoined by the Vedic scriptures. Performing other’s duty is not authorised in the Vedic scriptures and is being prohibited and is fraught with danger. One who exempts themselves from their prescribed actions as enjoined in the Vedic scriptures, is never qualified to perform the prescribed actions of a higher station. Such actions are prohibited.

Other elements of Vishu include wearing new clothes for the occasion, the tradition of giving money called Vishukkaineetam and the Vishu feast or Sadya.

Vishu marks the beginning of Meda Rashi, the first zodiac sign. It signifies the equinox according to the solar calendar and falls usually in the second week of April according to the English calendar. Mesha Sankranthi is celebrated as Vishu in Kerala.

Vishu is celebrated with much fanfare and vigour in all parts of Kerala, especially by Hindus. It is considered as a festival of light and fireworks. Other elements of Vishu include wearing new clothes for the occasion, the tradition of giving money called Vishukkaineetam and the Vishu feast or Sadya.

The most important event in Vishu is the Vishukkani, which literally means “the first thing seen on the day of Vishu after waking up�.

The Vishukkani consists of a ritual arrangement of auspicious articles intended to signify prosperity, which includes rice, fruits and vegetables, betel leaves, arecanut, metal mirror,

yellow flowers called konna (Cassia fistula), holy texts and coins, all arranged around lord Krishna in an ambience lit by nilavilakku or tookkuvilakku (traditional oil lamps) usually in the prayer room of the house.

The Sadhya (feast) is a major part of all Kerala festivals. However, Vishu Kanji, Thoran and Vishu katta are more important during the festival of Vishu. The Kanji is made of rice, coconut milk and spices. Vishu katta is a delicacy prepared from freshly harvested rice powder and coconut milk served with jaggery. For Thoran, the side dish, there are mandatory ingredients. Other important Vishu delicacies include Veppampoorasam (a bitter preparation of neem) and Mampazhappulissery (a sour mango soup).

sardaar gabbar singh Sardaar Gabbar Singh, released as the most anticipated movie of the year and was opened to negative reviews all over, right after the benefit shows conducted on the release day.

Though most of the scenes are found entertaining, the non-sinking scenes and lack of connectivity between scene to scene, is what spoiled the flow of Sardaar Gabbar Singh.

The weak screenplay can be felt right from the start of the film and that made it face the bad fortune. Adding to the fate, the makers even announced Raja Sardaar Gabbar Singh as the third part of Gabbar Singh series. That is highly criticized by the insiders and reportedly stopped Pawan from holding the pen again.
