Kuduremukha:  is a mountain range and name of a peak located in Chikkamagaluru district, in Karnataka, India. It is also the name of a small hill station cum mining town situated near the mountain, about 48 kilometres from Karkala and around 20 kilometres from Kalasa. The name Kuduremukha literally means 'horse-face' (in the Kannada language) and refers to a particular picturesque view of a side of the mountain that resembles a horse's face. It was also referred to as 'Samseparvata', historically since it was approached from Samse village. Kuduremukh is Karnataka's 3rd highest peak after Mullayangiri andBaba Budangiri. The nearest airport is Mangalore International Airport at Mangalore which is at distance of 99 kilometres.

Kalasa is a holy temple-town located in Chikkamagaluru district in Karnataka. Kalasa is home to the Kalaseshwara Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Kalasa lies 92 Kilometres South-west of Chickmagalur and is located on the banks of the Bhadra River

The origins of Kalasa are traceable to Mythology. Although unsubstantiated, local myths attribute the origin of Kalasa to an event mentioned found in the Skanda Purana.

Accordingly, the wedding of Lord Shiva and Parvathi in Himalayas caused a shift in the Earth's rotation because of the attendance of all Gods and Goddesses. To restore the Earth's balance, Lord Shiva requested Sage Agasthya to travel South. Agasthya however, expressed his wish to witness the wedding. Lord Shiva assured to grant divine vision to the sage, which would enable him to witness the wedding from any part of the world.

Agasthya travelled southward and resided in Kalasa from where he watched the wedding. Local legends state that a pilgrimage to Kalasa brings greater religious merit (punya) than a visit to Varanasi.

The Girija Kalyana (marriage of Lord Shiva and Parvathi) is celebrated in Kalasa every year to commemorate this tradition. This auspicious occasion falls on Karthika Shuddha Ekadashi of Lunar calendar.

Other legends also state that Sage Vasishta had lived in a hermitage near Kalasa as also the Skanda Dwaya.

Temple:

Every visitor to the Annapoorna temple at Hornadu, irrespective of their religion, language, caste, or creed, is provided with a three-course vegetarian meal (including a dessert made from BeLe or Lentils). Male visitors to the temple have to remove their shirts and banians and preferably cover their shoulders with a towel or a shawl, as a symbol of respect and humility in front of god.

The main deity of Annapoorna is made of gold. It is believed that a person who seeks the goddess' blessings would never have any scarcity for food in life. It is believed that Lord Shiva once had a curse and that this curse was reversed when the lord visited Goddess Annapoorna and sought her blessings.

Mahamangalarathi prayer will be offered every day at 9:00 am, 1:30 pm and at 9:00 pm. Kunkumarchana pooja starts every day at 11:00 am and at 7:00 pm.

The route to the temple traverses ghats, dense forests and vegetation. A trip to the Hornadu Aadishaktiyatmaka Annapoorneshwari temple would be most fulfilling if all pilgrimage spots en route to the temple are also included in travel plans. Some of the places that will be encountered in that order would be Kukke Subrahmanya, Dharmasthala, Sringeri, Udupi Krishna temple and Kollooru Mookaambike, Kalaseshwara temple in Kalasa, and then the Horanaadu Annapoorneshwari temple.

BHARATANATYAM [ INDIAN CULTURE ]

BHARATANATYAM  (Indian Culture)

Bharatanatyam or Bharathanatiyam :  is a major genre of Indian classical dance that originated in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu and neighboring regions.Traditionally, Bharatanatyam has been a solo dance that was performed exclusively by women, and expressed Hindu religious themes and spiritual ideas, particularly of Shaivism, but also of Vaishnavism and Shaktism.

Bharatanatyam's theoretical foundations trace to the ancient Sanskrit text Natya Shastra,its existence by 2nd century CE is noted in the ancient Tamil epic Silappatikaram, while temple sculptures of 6th to 9th century CE suggest it was a well refined performance art by mid 1st millennium CE. Bharatanatyam is quite possibly the oldest classical dance tradition of India.

Bharatanatyam style is noted for its fixed upper torso, legs bent or knees flexed out combined with spectacular footwork, a sophisticated vocabulary of sign language based on gestures of hands, eyes and face muscles. The dance is accompanied by music and a singer, and typically her guru is present as the director and conductor of the performance The dance has traditionally been a form of an interpretive narration of mythical legends and spiritual ideas from the Hindu texts. The performance repertoire of Bharatanatyam, like other classical dances, includes nrita (pure dance), nritya (solo expressive dance) and natya (group dramatic dance).

Bharatanatyam remained exclusive to Hindu temples through the 19th century, was banned by the colonial British government in 1910, the Indian community protested the ban and expanded it outside the temples in the 20th century.Modern stage productions of Bharatanatyam have incorporated technical performances, pure dance based on non-religious ideas and fusion themes.

Beautiful Girl Showing Karnataka Culture

Karnataka, a state in South India has a long association with Jainism, a religion which enjoyed patronage of major historic kingdoms in the state such as the Western Ganga, Kadamba and Chalukya dynasties and the Hoysala Empire. Today the state is home to a number of Jain monuments, such as temples, Gommaṭa statues and stambhas

ಕಳೆದ ಶತಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂದರೆ ೨೦ನೆಯ ಶತಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಬಹಳ ವ್ಯಾಪಕವಾಗಿ ನಡೆಯಿತು. ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆಯು ಅಭಿಜಾತ ಭಾಷೆಯೆಂಬ ಸ್ಥಾನಮಾನವನ್ನು ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರದಿಂದ ಪಡೆದಿದೆ. ಅಂತರಜಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಬಳಕೆ ಯಥೇಚ್ಛವಾಗಿದೆ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಮುಂಚೂಣಿಯ ಭಾಷೆಯಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆಯತೊಡಗಿದೆ.

ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತದ ಪ್ರಭಾವ ಅಸಾಧಾರಣವಾದುದು. ಪ್ರಾಕೃತ, ಪಾಳಿ ಮುಂತಾದ ಭಾಷೆಗಳ ಪ್ರಭಾವವೂ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕಿದೆ. ಕ್ರಿ.ಪೂ ಮೂರನೆಯ ಶತಮಾನಕ್ಕೂ ಮುನ್ನವೇ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮೌಖಿಕ ಪರಂಪರೆಯ ಭಾಷೆಯಾಗಿ ರೂಪುಗೊಂಡಿತ್ತೆಂಬುದಕ್ಕೂ ಪ್ರಾಕೃತ ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ತಮಿಳು ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಬರೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ಶಾಸನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡದ ಶಬ್ದಗಳು ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗಿವೆಯೆಂದೂ ಇತಿಹಾಸ ತಜ್ಞ ಐರಾವತಂ ಮಹಾದೇವನ್ ಸಾಬೀತುಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆ ಸಂಶೋಧನೆಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅಗಾಧ ಪ್ರಮಾಣದ ಜನತೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಭಾಷೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದಿತೆಂದೂ ತಿಳಿದುಬಂದಿದೆ.

ಕೆ.ವಿ. ನಾರಾಯಣರು ಹೇಳುವಂತೆ, ಇಂದಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡದ ಉಪಭಾಷೆಗಳೆಂದು ಗುರುತಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನವು ಕನ್ನಡದ ಹಳೆಯ ರೂಪವನ್ನು ಹೋಲುವಂಥವಾಗಿರಬಹುದು. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಅನ್ಯ ಭಾಷೆಗಳ ಪ್ರಭಾವ ವ್ಯಾಪಕವಾಗಿ ಒಳಗಾಗದ ಭಾಷೆಗಳು ಇವೆಂದೂ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯಪಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.

Historical association of Jainism with Karnataka dates back to the 3rd century BC. Acharya Bhadrabahu, predicted a twelve year long famine in north India and led the migration of Jain sangha to the south.[1] He was accompanied by his disciple Chandragupta Maurya and the Sangha halted at Chandragiri Hill. Realising that he was nearing the end of his life, Bhadrabahu instructed his disciples to spread the religion and he undertook sallekhana at Chandragiri.

Chandragupta Maurya continued to live on this hill worshipping the foot prints of his teacher and later he too took Sallekhana. There are two monuments on the hill recalling this event, a rock cut cave called Bhadrabahu cave and a structural shrine called the Chandragupta Basadi.

4K RED PARROT FISH

Red Blood Parrot Fish 4K Video:

The blood parrot cichlid (or more commonly and formally known as parrot cichlid; no binomial nomenclature) is a hybrid of the midasand the redhead cichlid. The fish was first created in Taiwan around 1986. Blood parrots should not be confused with otherparrot cichlids or salt water parrotfish (

Because this hybrid cichlid has various anatomical deformities, controversy exists over the ethics of creating the blood parrot. One of the most obvious deformities is its mouth, which has only a narrow vertical opening. This makes blood parrots somewhat harder to feed and potentially vulnerable to malnutrition. Some cichlid enthusiasts have called for their removal from the market and organized boycotts against pet stores that sell them.
