  • Folktales, Myths and Legends on Sculptors of South India
    Folktales, Myths and Legends on Sculptors of South India Balakrishna B.M. Hosangadi, Kannur University, India The Asian Conference on Literature 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract History speaks on sculptures and silent on sculptors; whereas folktales take contradictory position towards this phenomenon. The folktales, Myths and legends on sculptors of south India narrate the dark shades of the life of sculptors. The present paper is intended to explore the tales from south India and hypothetically propose the four processes occurring in the narration of these stories: 1. Demonisation 2.Suppression 3.Marginalisation 4.Devaluation. So far, intensive studies have been carried out on the South Indian sculptures in scholarly texts. The major works have concentrated on the aesthetic elements of the sculptures rather than sculptors. So, finding the colossal void, present paper would discuss the narration. The paper is confined to the mythology of Thvastr-Vishwaroopa in Sanskrit and legends of Jakkana - Dankana in Kannada, Shambhu Kalkuda - Beera Kalkuda in Tulu, Raman Perunthacchan-Kannan Perunthacchan in Malayalam. These are the major mythological and legendary characters. The paper would use folktales, Myths and legends as primary sources and history works as secondary sources and it also would examine the adaptations of the folktales into theatrical, performing art form and cinematic works. A fraction between the history and the legend is observed: historians have started questioning the very existence of these legendary sculptors and at the same time, folklorists are placing the counter points. Reading the reflections over each other would provide the multiple layers of meanings. Keywords: Folktales on sculptors of south India, cultural study iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction The irony of the history is in its selective narratives and total denial of the oral history on the grounds of evidences and plenty of questions are being raised against the historiography itself.

Whether approved : Yes for reporting Law laid down : 1) Terapanthi is a sect of Jain religion, which carries out Jalabhishek to Jin Pratima, which is being performed since time immemorial by men in respect of idol of Bawangajaji (Tirthankar) only to ensure that the Rules of Brahmcharya are followed. The practice is integral to the temple and it is “essential religious practice” of the temple and in noway amounts to discrimination keeping in view Article 25 and 26 of the Constitution of India, which guarantees protection of the cherished liberties of faith, belief and worship to persons belonging to all religions in a secular polity. 2) Judicial review of religious practices ought not be undertaken, as the Court cannot impose its morality or rationality with respect to the form of worship of a deity. Doing so would negate the WWW.LIVELAW.IN Writ Petition No.8310/2019 (PIL) - 2 - freedom to practice one's religion according to one's faith and beliefs.

(a) 1 Only (b) 2 Only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Solution: a) Brahmanism, ancient Indian religious tradition that emerged from the earlier Vedic religion. In the early 1st millennium BCE, Brahmanism emphasized the rites performed by, and the status of, the Brahman, or priestly, class as well as speculation about brahman (the Absolute reality) as theorized in the Upanishads (speculative philosophical texts that are considered to be part of the Vedas, or scriptures). In contrast, the form of Hinduism that emerged after the mid-1st millennium BCE stressed devotion (bhakti) to particular deities such as Shiva and Vishnu. The term Brahmanism is considered synonymous with Hinduism, by some scholars. Others consider the transition from ancient Brahmanism into schools of Hinduism that emerged later as a form of evolution, which happened imperceptibly, and one that preserved many of the central ideas and theosophy in the Vedas, and synergistically integrated new ideas.[8] Of the major traditions that emerged from Brahmanism are the six darshanas, particular the Vedanta, Samkhya and Yoga schools of Hinduism.

  • History of Jainism in Karnataka
    History of Jainism in Karnataka November 26, 2020 UPSC has in recent times shown a lot of interest in the subsects and art and culture of Buddhism and Jainism as can be seen in the questions on sarvastivada and sthanakvasi in the past 3 years. In this light we want to cover some important manifestations of these religions in regional centers. And Jainism and its impact on Karnataka is one such important topic that needs to be covered and the current article is an endeavour to do the same. In news: Recently Copper plate inscriptions dated to the 8th and 9th century CE have been discovered in and around Halebelagola in Chanrayapatna taluk of Hassan district. Placing it in syllabus: Indian history – Jainism Dimensions 1. Origin of Jainism 2. Patronage of Jainism by various dynasties 3. Jaina architecture in Karnataka 4. Jaina contribution to Kannada literature Content: Origin of Jainism: Jaina Dharma or sramana dharma is a small but very influential religious tradition in India. Called Nirgantha (without bonds) by ancient texts, it is one of the oldest sramana (ascetic) traditions still surviving in India. The community is most prominent in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan and also has a good presence in Delhi- Mathura, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Bundelkhand regions. The Rig Veda contains clear references to Rishabhdeva, the first Tirthankara and to Aristanemi, the twenty- second. The Yajur Veda mentions the names of three Tirthankaras: Rishabhdeva, Ajitanatha and Aristanemi. Rishabha has also been mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana. According to the tradition, it is believed that Mahavira (24th Tirthankara) visited Karnataka and initiated King Jivandhara of Hemanagada country of the Kuntala (Karnataka) region.

    DEPARTMNET OF HISTORY I M A HISTORY VI SEMESTER HISTORY OF KONGU NADU UPTO 1800 A.D (18MHI24C) DR.SEETHALAKSHMI, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY- GAC (AUTO)- 18 Cell: 9487087335 [email protected] Unit II Western Ganga was an important ruling dynasty of ancient Karnataka in India which lasted from about 350 to 1000 CE. They are known as "Western Gangas" to distinguish them from the Eastern Gangas who in later centuries ruled over Kalinga (modern Odisha). The general belief is that the Western Gangas began their rule during a time when multiple native clans asserted their freedom due to the weakening of the Pallava empire in South India, a geo-political event sometimes attributed to the southern conquests of Samudra Gupta. The Western Ganga sovereignty lasted from about 350 to 550 CE, initially ruling from Kolar and later, moving their capital to Talakadu on the banks of the Kaveri River in modern Mysore district. After the rise of the imperial Chalukyas of Badami, the Gangas accepted Chalukya overlordship and fought for the cause of their overlords against the Pallavas of Kanchi. The Chalukyas were replaced by the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta in 753 CE as the dominant power in the Deccan. After a century of struggle for autonomy, the Western Gangas finally accepted Rashtrakuta overlordship and successfully fought alongside them against their foes, the Chola Dynasty of Tanjavur. In the late 10th century, north of Tungabhadra river, the Rashtrakutas were replaced by the emerging Western Chalukya Empire and the Chola Dynasty saw renewed power south of the Kaveri river. The defeat of the Western Gangas by Cholas around 1000 resulted in the end of the Ganga influence over the region.

    South Asia @ LSE: Photo essay: A great anointment in the 21st century Page 1 of 5 Photo essay: A great anointment in the 21st century Every 12 years, thousands of people gather in the Southern Indian state of Karnataka to witness the Mahamastakabhisheka or the ‘Great Head Anointment’ of the 57-foot high statue of Bahubali. This photo essay captures the nearly thousand year old ceremony, which has been embellished with some 21st century additions in the form of material and technological changes. Text by Sweta Daga and Dhruva Ghosh. Photos by Rajiv Rathod, Sweta Daga, and Dhruva Ghosh. In February 2018, thousands of people lined up the slopes of Vindhyagiri at Shravanabelagola in Karnataka waiting patiently for a glimpse of grand celebrations. Shravanabelagola (meaning ‘white lake of the sramanas’), is a pilgrimage for all digambara Jains. Jains and Buddhists are the two surviving schools of the ancient sramana traditions of the Indian subcontinent, and the digambaras are one of the two major sub-sects of the Jain community. The Kannadiga Jains of Karnataka are historically a part of the digambara tradition. Jains account for less than 1 percent of the Indian population, and Kannadiga Jains are a small group within the Jain community. Historically, Jains have had great influence in the region, and the earliest recorded literature and culture of Karnataka belongs to the Jain tradition.
