Temple de Kalikambal

Le temple de Kālikāmbal est un temple hindou dédié à Kālikāmbāl (Kāmākshi) et à Kamadeswarar (Shiva), situé dans le quartier de George Town à Madras en Inde. Le temple est situé sur la rue Thambu Chetty, une artère commerciale et financière de premier plan à Georgetown, parallèle à Rajaji Salai (North Beach Road ou First Line Road), la rue du front de mer. Histoire Le temple était à l'origine situé près du rivage, sur le site de l'actuel Fort Saint-George . Lorsque la Compagnie britannique des Indes orientales a construit le fort, le temple a été déplacé sur le site actuel le 1er mars 1640. La construction s'est poursuivie jusqu'en 1678. Chhatrapati Shivaji, le roi guerrier marathe du XVIIe siècle et fondateur de l'empire marathe, avait effectué une visite à ce temple le 3 octobre 1677, alors qu'il menaçait d'assiéger la ville. Le poète d'expression tamoule Subramaniya Bharathi était un visiteur régulier du temple au début du XXe siècle. L'hymne dévotionnel tamoul Ullam Uruguthaiya, dédié à Muruga (Karttikeya), a été composé dans ce temple par Andavan Pichai en 1952. Dans les années 1980, un nouveau gopuram de 10 mètres de haut (rajagopuram) a été ajouté à la structure existante. La construction de la tour a commencé le 22 janvier 1976 et s'est achevée le 21 janvier 1983. Une autre extension majeure a été réalisée en 2014[réf. nécessaire]. La divinité du temple est connue sous d'autres noms, tels que கோட்டை அம்மன் (kōṭṭaiammaṉ) ou « Déesse du Fort » (கோட்டை (kōṭṭai) signifiant « fort », puisqu'elle était à l'origine logée à l'emplacement du fort) et Chennamman (Centhooram ou Senthooram signifiant « sindoor », poudre sacrée de couleur vermillon). Culte La déité principale (moolavar ou mula murti) est tournée vers l'ouest. La légende raconte que la divinité était vénérée par des demi-dieux et des saints, dont Vyasa, Agastya, Aangeerasa, Pulastya et Varuna. La divinité de procession (urchavar ou utsava murti) s'appelle Periyanayaki, une idole en position debout sur un char, avec les idoles de Mahalakshmi et Saraswati de chaque côté. D'autres sanctuaires dans le temple sont consacrés à Shiddi Vinayakar et à Shiddi-Bhuddi Vinayakar (Ganesh), Agora Veerabadhra, Mahakali, Vadakathirkama Murugan, Virat Vishwa Parabrahma, Gayatri, Durga, Dakshinamurthy et Pratyangira. L'eau sacrée (sthala theertha) du temple est l'eau de mer et l'arbre sacré (sthala vriksha) est le manguier (Mangifera indica). La fête du temple et son ratha yatra est organisée au mois de Vaikasi (mai-juin). La célébration se distingue par ses chars (les ratha ou ther) peu communs, le poonther, un char fait de fleurs et de végétaux, et le kinnither, un char fait de vaisselles d'argent.

Kampahesvara-Tempel

Der Kampahesvara-Tempel oder Kampaharesvara-Tempel in der Stadt Tirubuvanam im Distrikt Thanjavur im südindischen Bundesstaat Tamil Nadu ist – obwohl er nicht zu den zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe der Großen Tempel der Chola-Dynastie gezählt wird – der bedeutendste Tempel aus der Spätzeit der Dynastie. Lage Der dem Hindu-Gott Shiva geweihte Tempel liegt im Zentrum der in einer Höhe von knapp 30 m am Fluss Kaveri gelegenen und etwa 20.000 Einwohner zählenden Stadt Tirubuvanam. Nächstgelegene Großstadt ist das ca. 8 km südwestlich gelegene Kumbakonam. Geschichte Gemäß einer Inschrift wurde der Tempel – nach einem erfolgreichen Feldzug im Norden seines Reiches – von König Kulothunga Chola III. (reg. 1178–1218) in Auftrag gegeben und finanziert. Zumeist wird ein Entstehungszeitraum um 1200 genannt. Architektur Der mit seinem Eingang nach Osten ausgerichtete Kampaharesvara-Tempel ist – wie viele große Tempel in Südindien – von einer Mauer umgeben, die den „heiligen“ Tempelbezirk (prakara) zur Außenwelt hin abgrenzt. Eine Umschreitung des Tempels (pradakshina) im Uhrzeigersinn ist auf dem mit Platten ausgelegten Boden möglich. Mehrere hintereinander liegende Vorräume (mandapas) führen zur eigentlichen fensterlosen und weitgehend karg gestalteten Cella (garbhagriha) im Innern des insgesamt knapp 30 m hohen pyramidalen, mehrfach abgestuften und in einer Scheinkuppel mit glückverheißendem kalasha-Aufsatz endenden Tempelturms (vimana). Dieser ist mit zahlreichen Götterfiguren und anderen Dekorelementen verziert; die bunte Bemalung dürfte – trotz wiederholter Restaurierung – in etwa dem ursprünglichen Zustand entsprechen. In der Mitte der Rückseite des Tempels befindet sich eine Darstellung Shivas in einem sich öffnenden Linga – gemeint ist eine „Feuersäule“, deren Anfang und Ende die beiden anderen Hochgötter Brahma und Vishnu nicht erkunden konnten, weshalb sie die Oberhoheit Shivas anerkennen mussten. Sarabha-Schrein In einem Nebengebäude befindet sich eine der synkretistischen Gottheit Sarabha (oder auch Sarabeswara) geweihte Figur. Torturm Der etwa 25 m hohe, aber in seinem Grundriss nicht pyramidale, sondern quergelagerte Torturm (gopuram) ist in ähnlicher Weise geschmückt wie der Tempelturm; er dürfte somit zur gleichen Zeit entstanden sein.

Kaj Schmidt Memorial

The Kaj Schmidt Memorial is an architectural landmark commemorating a Danish sailor who drowned in 1930 trying to save the life of a woman. It is located at Elliot's Beach in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The monument had been in a derelict state, but was restored starting in 2013. History According to historians, Kaj Schmidt, who had gone to the beach, saw an English girl getting into the water who soon started struggling against the tide. In a successful attempt to save her life, he lost his own. The English girl, whom Schmidt saved from the sea, attended a party the following evening as though nothing had happened. The then governor, who was apparently angry with her, built the memorial to mark Schmidt's gallant act. The memorial According to experts, the structure, which was built using bricks, lacks a stone foundation. The uneven base and the sea water have caused damage to the memorial over the years. The memorial is the only heritage structure on Elliot's Beach. The memorial stone in the memorial reads, "To commemorate the gallantry of Kaj Schmidt who was drowned near this spot on December 30, 1930 while helping to save the lives of others." At the initiative of an 87-year-old lady, in March 2013, the Corporation of Chennai announced that it would restore the memorial. In connection with the planned restoration of the memorial, the Chennai Corporation announced on 4 February 2014 that it plans to utilize Fiber Wrapping Technology to reinforce the structure. The restoration was done by IIT Madras and REACH Foundation. Until 2030, this memorial has to survive so as to get a heritage tag. As of 2018, there is an enclosure around the memorial, and the cracks in the structure have been mended. However, there is still a lot of graffiti on the white surface, and people regularly climb the structure to take selfies. There are no security guards to discourage such actions. Cult classic Malayalam movie, Nadodikattu, which revolves around two impecunious young men, Ramdas (Mohanlal) and Vijayan (Sreenivasan) who not being able to find any job in Kerala, plan to immigrate to Dubai to make their fortunes, but get deceived by Gafoorkka and end up in this spot. Thus the spot has become an iconic place for Keralites. References External links SPARKing a civic movement
Karnataka State Open University

Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) is a distance learning university founded in 1996, located in Mysore in the Indian state of Karnataka. Controversy De-recognition and Re-recognition UGC de-recognized several courses of KSOU with effect from 2012-13. The university itself was de-recognized in 2015 after it was found violating several norms of UGC and DEC, IGNOU. The university had violated the norms related to territorial jurisdiction by establishing study centers across India and also offered admission to courses within India and abroad in violation of regulations. Even after a show cause notice was issued, it continued this practice. Thousands of students were jeopardized by the de-recognition, resulting in protests by students and petitions to the Karnataka High Court/ Supreme Court (Supreme Court Case No. 001037 or Diary No. 31227 filed on August 21, 2018). After several initiatives by KSOU and the Government of Karnataka, and as per the direction of the High Court, 17 courses of KSOU were granted recognition from 2018 onwards. However, the lives of earlier students remain in limbo without degrees, though a bridge course and a test is likely to be conducted. In 2018, UGC gave program-level recognition from 2018-19 to 2022-23 via UGC order F. No. 1-6/2018 (DEB-I) dated 03-10-2018 for B. A., B. Com., B. L. I. Sc., M. L. I. Sc., M. A., M. Com., M. Sc. Non-issuance of degree through Distance Mode from Karnataka State Open University It has been informed by UGC order F. No. 7-1(KSOU)/2022(DEB-III) dated 16-08-2022 Page - 02 Point: 04 for Non-issuance of degree through Distance mode from Karnataka State Open University that The Open and Distance programs of KSOU were recognized only up to 2012-13 by erstwhile DEC, IGNOU. No further recognition was given to the University till 2017-18. Thereafter it has been granted recognition for the ODL programs for the period 2018-19 to 2022-23 (up to January, 2023 only). Further, the University has only been directed to issue degrees/ certificates as per the period of recognition, territorial jurisdiction and directions issued from time to time by UGC.
