Nagarjunakonda

Nagarjunakonda (నాగార్జునకొండ ; « colline de Nagarjuna » en télougou) (IAST : Nāgārjunakoṇḍa), Vijayapuri de son nom originel, est un site archéologique et une ville historique qui fut la capitale du royaume des Ikshvaku d'Andhra (en) entre les IIIe et IVe siècles de l'ère commune. La vallée ayant été inondée par la création d'un barrage dans les années 1960, il ne reste aujourd'hui qu'une île située dans le réservoir de Nagarjuna Sagar, dans le district de Palnadu, dans l'État d'Andhra Pradesh, en Inde. Elle se situe à 150 km au sud-est de l'ancienne capitale de cet État, Hyderabad. Au début de notre ère, Nāgārjunakoṇḍa était un centre religieux, bouddhique et hindou, majeur. Le grand stūpa est daté du Ier siècle de notre ère au IIIe siècle. Origine de l'île Cette île fut formée lorsqu'une colline fut submergée par les eaux du barrage de Nagarjuna Sagar, construit dans les années 1960. On lui donna le nom de Nagarjuna, en souvenir d'un maître du Bouddhisme mahāyāna qui portait ce nom et qui vivait en Inde du sud au IIe siècle, dont on pense qu'il était chargé de l'activité bouddhiste de la région. Le site fut jadis le siège de nombreuses universités et monastères bouddhistes, attirant des étudiants qui venaient de Chine, du Gandhara, du Bengale, et de Ceylan. Les sites archéologiques qui se trouvaient ici ont été submergés par les eaux, néanmoins il fut décidé de préserver les monuments les plus remarquables, qui durent être excavés et transférés plus haut sur la colline, désormais devenue une île.

It is one of the rare traditional Hindu temples that has both Shiva and Vishnu deities in the same complex. Location The temple is located in the village of Sikkal, near Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu, India.

Sikkal Navaneetheswarar Temple Sikkal Navaneetheswarar Temple is the main temple. The Singaravelan temple is found in the premises of Sikkal Navaneetheswarar Temple. Temple Lore It is believed in Hindu mythology that this place was once a jasmine forest and due to its pleasant smell, the semi-human goddess with cow's trunk, Kamadenu lives here. Once upon a time, Kamadenu was cursed by lord Shiva, when it ate meat. Later feeling guilty of its action, it got rid of its sin by taking bath in the holy water point of this temple and worshiped here, as told by Lord Shiva. After getting rid of the sin, Kamadenu offered its milk which later became Parkulam (literal meaning the milk pond), which is located behind the temple. It is this holy water point (The Parkulam) of the temple where Vashistha Maharishi performed a pooja here, by making a lingam with the butter from the Parkulam. After completing the pooja he tried to move that lingam, but it stuck to that place, and never moved. As a result, Vasista Maharishi regarded this place as sikkal. It is also said that Lord Murugan had got his Vel (weapon) from his divine mother at Sikkal, to kill the asura, Soorapadman in Sri Lanka. He performed Soora Samharam (literal meaning: killing Soorapadman) by setting up the base camp in Thiruchendur. Festivals The most important festival is Soora Samharam associated with Lord Muruga getting the weapon Vel from his divine mother, Parvathi to destroy the demon king, Soorapadman. During this time, it is believed by the devotees that the idol sweats and a major event is conducted.

Singur Dam

Singur Dam also written as Singoor (సింగూర్ in Telugu) is an irrigation, hydroelectric and drinking water project located in Singooru village near Sangareddy district in Telangana, India. It is a major source of drinking water for Hyderabad city. The dam is built on the river Manjira. The construction was completed in 1998. Singur reservoir has live storage capacity of 29 Tmcft It is a popular tourist destination. This pipeline scheme is an inter river basin transfer link by feeding Godavari River water to Krishna River basin for Hyderabad city drinking water and subsequent regeneration/sewage flows generated (80%) for irrigation purpose. Nearly 10 tmcft water is supplied to Hyderabad city from this reservoir. History It has history of series of delays since its inception. The irrigation component of this dam in Medak district is not yet implemented. In October 1999, 1 of 17 radial spillway gates failed on the Singur Dam in Andhra Pradesh, India. This failure occurred during initial filling of the reservoir when the water level was 9.8 feet (3.0 meters) below design level. The gate became dislodged due to a detachment of the left side trunnion girder. The right side arm supported the gate for 22 hours before becoming completely dislodged and washing away. The Andhra Pradesh State authorities attributed the failure of the gate to inadequate welding between the trunnion girder and the tie flats (Mande et al., 2000). There is no mention of downstream damage resulting from this failure. See also Nizamsagar Sriram Sagar Project References
