Then they stimulated the elephant to harm Khamba. But God Thangjing let it not to move. Finally, Kongyamba hit the elephant with a spear to move in pain. But it did not harm Khamba.
In that night, Goddess Panthoibi told Thoibi in her dream that her beloved man was bound by her father’s orders to the elephant and was nearly killed. Thoibi arose and took a sword. She immediately came to the spot for Khamba. The criminals feld from the spot. She saved Khamba from the criminals as well as the elephant.
The news was informed to Khamnu, Feiroijamba, Nongtholba and Thonglen. Nongtholba, Feiroijamba and Thonglen went to the Royal Court with all their armies. Feiroijamba said to the Court three times about the harsh cruelty to Khamba. However, the Prince did not pay attention to the complaint.
Nongtholba and Prince Chingkhu Akhuba had a conflict on the matter. The conflict could not be resolved without the King. Finally, both went to the King for the judgement.
The King proclaimed that all the criminals would be punished. So, Nongban Kongyamba, Prince Chingkhu Akhuba (Thoibi's father) and other men were sent in the prison. The King told the Prince to stay there until Khamba was well again.
The King sent his own men to take care of injured Khamba. He sent him gifts every day. Thoibi personally took care of Khamba. He got well again. So, Nongban Kongyamba and the Prince were set free.

Plot to kidnap Princess Thoibi 

The Prince asked his daughter Thoibi to marry Kongyamba. But she rejected. So, in anger, he exiled her to Kabaw chiefdom. He did not want to see her anymore.
During her exile, Thoibi always missed her beloved Khamba as well as her hometown. God Thangjing softened her father's heart. He sent men to bring her back. However, he asked Kongyamba to forcibly elope Thoibi from her return journey.
Kongyamba and his men were waiting for Princess Thobi's return. When they saw the princess returning, his men shouted,
"Lo, the Princess is at band."
Thoibi heard the shout. She instructed her companions to sit near her if the man was Khamba but far away if the man was Kongyamba."
It was Kongyamba and not Khamba.
However, she went on. She pretended to be friendly with him. She sat on the red carpet of Kongyamba's possession. However, she placed a stick between Kongyamba and her. She asked him for fruits to eat. Kongyamba brought her fruits. But she did not eat the fruits. She pretended to get ill due to her long journey from Kabaw. Kongyamba was worried.
She asked Kongyamba to let her ride on his horse. He agreed. So, Thoibi rode Kongyamba's horse. Kongyamba rode in Thoibi's palanquin.
Surprisingly, Thoibi galloped off on the horse towards Khamba's house. Khamba received her from the long time exile at his house. They wept for their reunion.
On the other hand, Kongyamba was angry for being tricked by a girl. He tried to gain support from the King's ministers to intervene into the matter. In the meantime, Minister Thonglen and Minister Nongtholba sent men to guard Khamba and Thoibi.
The matter was set before the King in the Royal Court. The king wanted to solve the issue by the trial of the spear. During the discussion, an old man came to the meet the king. The old man informed him that a ferocious tiger was a great threat to the villagers of Khoirentak region.
The King changed his mind. He announced that the tiger will be the determining point of the matter. He added that the killer of the tiger will marry Princess Thoibi.
Death 

King Chingkhu Telheiba of Moirang announced that the killer of the man-eating tiger of Khoirentak could marry princess Thoibi. Nongban Kongyamba and Khuman Khamba were chosen for the task. The ferocious tiger killed Nongban during the hunt.

Rebirth as a singing bird 
In his dying bed, Nongban requested Khuman Khamba to allow him to sing a song about princess Thoibi (alias Thadoi). The request was granted. After he died, his soul turned into a legendary bird named "Pithadoi" ("Pee Thadoi"). Pee Thadoi continued to sing songs about Thadoi. His songs are sung in pathetic and tragic notes.

Tholpuram Valakkamparai Muthumariamman Temple is a Hindu temple in Valakkamparai, Tholpuram, Sri Lanka.

History 

Legends say that one day, an old man was taking care of his flock when an old lady called to him. She asked the man to get her some water to drink. The man said he would do this. He went to a nearby well and got water for the woman. The woman then asked him to take care of her hair. That night, the man had a dream. The woman appeared in his dream. She asked him to build a small temple for her. The next day, the man told his friends and neighbors about his dream. They set up a small hut and began to worship the woman as a goddess. People have believed that she chose this place because she thought it would be a good place to live. It is believed that the area had many types of trees. The area still has many trees today.
The Dutch ruled the area in 1658. They ruled from 1658 until the British took control in 1796. During this time, a history book was written by A. Muthuthambipillai. The book says that Saravanamuthu Mudaliar was a Panchayat judge. It says that he held his court in a place now called 'Sathiyakadu'. This place was is in Tolpura at that time. With the permission of the Governor of Holland, a temple was built at Tolpura.

Architecture 

According to documents from near the year 1650, the temple was built using burnt bricks. Laterm descendants of the original builders rebuilt the temple using stone. The cost of rebuilding the temole were paid for by the people of Valakkamparai in Tholpuram.

Special events 

The main religious festivals at the temple are celebrated during June or July. They include the Chariot Festival.
Wedding hall 
There is a large air-conditioned hall at the temple. It is used for the weddings of the Hindu people. The wedding hall can also be used for other activities. The hall can hold a maximum of 500 people. This hall started functioning in 2015.

Maruoka Castle (丸岡城, Maruoka-jō) is in Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. It is also called Kasumi-ga-jō (霞ヶ城). The castle tower was built between 1624 to 1644. It is one of the twelve existing castle towers in Japan (現存十二天守, genzon-jūni-tenshu), and also one of the national important cultural properties.

History 
In 1576, Nobunaga Oda ordered Katsutoyo Shibata to build Maruoka Castle to get ready for the ikkō-ikki, a rebellion by believers of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Buddhism in the 15th-16th centuries. In 1613, Narushige Honda became the first lord, castle owner, of the Maruoka Castle. After the Honda family, the Arima family were lords of Maruoka Castle from 1695 to 1869. Shigesumi Arima was lord from 1772 to 1830. He rebuilt the local domain economy. On 8 July 1948,  an earthquake hit Fukui. The quake destroyed the castle tower of Maruoka Castle. But, in 1955 the castle tower was repaired by recycling more than 70% of the original materials of Maruoka Castle.
Structure 
Maruoka Castle’s stone walls are about 6.2 meters high. The stone walls were built using nozura-zumi (野面積み), an architectural method to build stone walls with a good system of drains. This protects the building from damage by heavy rain. Maruoka Castle is also famous for its steep stairs. The stairs that go up from the first floor to the second floor are at an angle of 65 degrees. The stairs from the second floor to the third floor are at an angle of 67 degrees.

Events

Cherry Blossom Festival 
About 400 cherry trees were planted around Maruoka Castle, and this place was chosen as one of the Japan’s Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Sites in 1990. There is a  Cherry Blossom Festival there every year.

"A Brief Message From the Heart " Letter Contest (一筆啓上賞, ippitsukeijō-shō) 
Shigetsugu Honda, whose son was the first lord of Maruoka Castle, sent a letter to his wife during a war at Shitaragahara in 1575. 

"A brief message. Don't start a fire. Don't make Osen cry. Feed my horses."
This letter is said to be famous for the shortest letter in Japan, and there is a stone monument engraved with this letter in Maruoka Castle. In 1993, this contest was started to let more people  know that the shortest letter was in Maruoka Castle.

Facilities around Maruoka Castle

Museum of History and Folklore 
This museum was opened in March 2019. On the first floor, there are exhibits of Maruoka folklore, and on the second floor, there are exhibits of the history of Maruoka Castle.

Brief Message from the Heart Museum 
This museum opened on 23 August 2015. In this museum, the winning works of the Contest of Brief Massages are exhibited.

Visitors 
The total number of visitors to Maruoka Castle, both paid or free, was about 150,000 in the first year of Reiwa, and about 70,000 in the second year due to the spread of coronavirus.
Legend 
In 1576, Katsutoyo Shibata tried to build Maruoka Castle, but it had collapsed many times. Therefore, he received a proposal to stabilize the castle by putting a human pillar in the castle tower. The person chosen as the human pillar was one-eyed Oshizu, who was a woman living a difficult life with two children. Oshizu offered Katsutoyo that one of her children would serve as a samurai in the future, and she decided to become the human pillar on that condition. Although the castle was completed, Oshizu’s children could not be a samurai because Katsutoyo was transferred elsewhere. Oshizu’s spirit resented this, so it rains a lot every April. People call this “Oshizu’s Tears”, and they built a grave of her to console her spirit. This story is fiction, but it is one of the most famous stories of Maruoka Castle.

Habutae is a type of silk. There are different kinds of habutae silk such as plain or striped habutae. Habutae is traditionally used for kimono and undershirts. Recently, it is also used for general goods, works of art, and clothing. Habutae is smooth to touch, glossy, and soft. It has been said "The quality of silk fabric begins with habutae and ends with it." Fukui is a suitable region to produce habutae as the dryness and wetness of the air are well-balanced throughout the whole year.
History 
In 1871, Kimimasa Yuri, who was a lord of Fukui Domain (region), brought some silk goods from Europe to Fukui when he joined a study tour in Europe. He showed the goods to people who studied silks in Fukui and they started doing technical research on weaving habutae. In 1887, basic technology for weaving habutae silk was completed in Fukui city. The economic boom of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 and World War I boosted progress and production of habutae in Fukui. In the early 1900s, production of habutae in Fukui earned 1.7 million dollars, up to 60% of the total exports of habutae in Japan. The demand for habutae made in Fukui has kept increasing in Japan, and it is still used in many kinds of daily goods such as clothing.
Weaving Process 
Most of the process of making Fukui habutae silk is the same as the process of making habutae in other areas, but the weaving process of Fukui habutae silk is different from the weaving process of habutae in other areas. Also, the weaving process is the most important part of making Fukui habutae silk. Fukui habutae silk is made in a process called nureyoko(濡れ横). Nureyoko is a weaving method of weaving warps and wefts which is the two basic components of weaving thread  into fabric after wetting wefts with water. Threads are made from raw silks that are imported from other countries such as China and Brazil. This process makes the cloth tight, elastic, and strong. It takes one day to weave 20 meters of habutae.

The National Diet Building (国会議事堂, Kokkai-gijidō) is the building where both houses of the Japan's government, the Diet, meet. It is located at Nagatachō 1-chome 7–1, Chiyoda, Tokyo.

Sessions of the House of Representatives take place in the left wing and sessions of the House of Councillors in the right wing.

The Diet Building was completed in 1936 and is made of only Japanese materials, except for the stained glass, door locks, and pneumatic tube system.

History 

Plans for a Diet building began in 1881.  The planners hoped to finish it by 1890, when the Diet would meet for the first time.  They realized they could not build a very impressive building in time, so they decided to make temporary buildings at first.  The first Diet building was a Western-style building made of wood.  It burned down in 1891.  Another wooden building was made and finished in 1891.  It burned down in 1925.  A third building was made.  The Diet used it until 1936, when the current Diet building was finished.
