@coolfunnytshirt Rama navami is not a public celebration here. Though traditional households do celebrate. Here it is more of Saivite traditions r followed. However puratasi is important month for Tamilians.

@Mitrarshi These dances r approved by scriptures sorry hearing it for 1st time
English

@CAL1684 Yes, this trend may create nuisance in temples. But if temple managements formulate rules according to scriptures, then people like them can legitimately perform it, right !
English

Hindu temples were not just for worship they also had dedicated spaces for dance, music, and performances
So Temple managements should re-start old forms of dance arts in Temples
Natya Shastra mention Nāyaka (hero) & Nāyikā (heroine) interactions as core of many performances.

Inaccurate.
In Andhra, Panchadara is the commonly used word for sugar, not Chekkera.

@Krishna_720611 @thangapushpam03 Europeans means the slavic baltic nordic ones?
English

@thangapushpam03 As an NRI, I’ve interacted with many Europeans and Asians. None of them speak good English and they don't care about it; only in India do we worry about speaking perfect English.

@CAL1684 Maybe that's why it didn't do too well, mood was heavily Aman ki Asha then.
English

I never watched any of the YRF Spyverse movies, not even clips.
I never seen Haider, I don't care how well it was made but was never watching a Jihadi glorification movie ever.
I never watched Veer Zara or any of those Aman Ki Tamasha snooze fests.
I would rather binge watch Balayya Babu movies, at least they are fun to watch.
English

@SadaaShree I was suprised to that soldier's response for Aman ki Asha dialogue by Zinta.

@vedaprakaasha @JabThakHaiJaan1 @MahaRathii @thedharmik2003 How can one convert to Islam and marry in a temple & ties manglasutra as per 🕉 rituals??
English

@JabThakHaiJaan1 @MahaRathii @thedharmik2003 Or maybe they'll show she converted to izlam first and then married him. Under muzlim personal law, girl of 15 years can marry. They'll fight tooth & nail to prevent someone from leaving their religion.

Big update in the Monalisa Bhosle LOVE JIHAD case.🚨🚨
Based on a complaint filed by Monalisa’s father, Madhya Pradesh SC/ST Commission reached Neyyattinkara and collected evidence at Arumanur Temple regarding the marriage of Mona Lisa Bhosle.
Now, the girl’s family has produced her birth certificate showing she is a minor.
If confirmed, this marriage will fall under the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act and POCSO Act.
Truth is coming out. Justice must prevail. 🚩🙏🏻
