There is no doubt about who owns Ganga !

@sunda_m Yes. The entire architecture is based on texts and merits a detailed explanation

@tskrishnan Any indications in texts or inscriptions as to why the walls below have a serious of offsets?

Temple architecture in our tradition has, since ancient times, been firmly rooted in scriptural injunctions—particularly the Āgamas and Śilpa Śāstras. The concept of the Aṣṭāṅga Vimana, where three separate garbhagṛhas are arranged vertically one above the other, is well known. Here is additional insight into this unique architectural form, based on the example at Uttiramerur. While the three garbhagṛhas enshrine Viṣṇu in his standing (sthānaka), seated (āsīna), and reclining (śayana) postures, the arrangement goes beyond this. It represents a structured “Nava-mūrti Sthāpana”. In this scheme: Satya, Achyuta, and Aniruddha are installed from south to north, Nara-Nārāyaṇa, Narasimha, and Varāhamūrti are installed from north to south. This layout is not arbitrary—it is prescribed in the Vimānārcana Kalpa of the Marīci Saṁhitā, a Vaikhānasa text. A portion of the passage is given below: “Puruṣa, Satya, Achyuta, Aniruddhānām garbhagṛham daśabhāgam; tat-pramukhe nirgamaṁ yuktyā kṛtvā, tat-sama prācyaṁ mukha-maṇḍapam; Satyādīnām mukha-maṇḍapam tat-garbhagṛha-samam, tripāda-mardhaṁ vā; evaṁ vimānam…” This clearly demonstrates that the vertical and horizontal iconographic arrangements within the vimāna follow a codified theological and architectural framework laid down in the Āgamic tradition. #TempleTales #TempleArchitecture

@Rajaram93584674 @vasudevakudumba சரிதான். உடையார் நாவல், சோழர் வரலாற்றுக்குச் செய்யப்பட்ட மாபெரும் துரோகம்.

@vasudevakudumba // இந்த நாட்டின் தர்மத்தையும், // ஆமாம் // சோழர் வரலாற்றையும் // இல்லை.. @tskrishnan

இந்த நாட்டின் தர்மத்தையும், சோழர் வரலாற்றையும் எளிய முறையில் அனைவரிடமும் கொண்டு சென்ற பாலகுமாரனுக்கு கிடைக்காத #ஞானபீடம் விருது எந்த _____ கிடைத்தால் என்ன ?

@svishtakrit Lot of people had in fact. A lesson that one should never believe such people.

@tskrishnan Very bad... i had good vibes more recently.. 😡😑

இந்தோனேசியாவின் பணத்தில் விநாயகரின் உருவம் அச்சடிக்கப்பட்டு இருக்கும். அதற்குக் காரணம் அவர்கள் விநாயகரை தங்கள் கலாச்சாரத்தின் ஒரு பகுதியாகக் கருதுவதுதான். அதுபோலத்தான் கோபுரமும் தமிழ்க் கலாச்சாரத்தின் அடையாளம். தமிழர் என்று பெயர் வைத்துக்கொண்டு தமிழ் கலாச்சார அடையாளங்களை அழிக்கத் துடிக்கும் கூட்டத்தை அடையாளம் கண்டுகொள்வது மிகவும் அவசியம்.

@RamRamsrijai No. Ignoring him is a greater risk. Understand the impact created by his rants.

@tskrishnan This clown to be just ignored.

@Rajaram93584674 @Bhairavan_ அதே

@tskrishnan @Bhairavan_ முதல் ல அவன் பக்கத்துல எப்போதும் இருக்கும் பெண் போட்டிருக்கும் உடை, தமிழ் மண்ணின் அடையாளமா என்று கேளுங்கள்

Beautiful rendition of the Tamil song “Durga Lakshmi Saraswati” in Ārabhi rāga, aptly presented at the commencement of Chaitra Navaratri. What makes it even more mesmerising are the visuals from the Patteswaram Durga temple. Patteswaram (ancient Pazhayaarai) once served as a capital of the Cholas. Goddess Durga was revered as the guardian deity of the city and worshipped by Chola kings. The Durga shrine here forms part of the Dhenupureeswarar temple complex. Worshipped as Vishnu Durga, the Goddess is depicted with eight hands, holding the śaṅkha (conch), cakra (discus), bow, arrow, sword, shield, and a parrot, standing gracefully in a tribhaṅga posture. The outer maṇḍapas were built by Govinda Dikshitar, the guru of the Thanjavur Nayak king Raghunatha Nayak, which also fittingly aligns with the occasion of Ugadi.

जगतजननी मां दुर्गा के चरणों में कोटि-कोटि देशवासियों की ओर से मेरा नमन और वंदन! नवरात्रि के पावन पर्व पर देवी मां से विनती है कि वे हर किसी को अपने स्नेह और अनुकंपा का आशीर्वाद प्रदान करें। जय माता दी! youtube.com/watch?v=XnAJOy…

@Kovai_Karthic @Agastyar108 Yes

@tskrishnan @Agastyar108 Indonesia Govt's Airlines. They didn't change the name as well. They don't forget their lineage and are proud of their culture as well.

@karthikjana கரெக்ட்

@tskrishnan அப்படி என்றால் நீங்கள் ஆட்சிக்கு வரவே வேண்டாம்.

@IndicMeme 🤦🏻‍♂️

@tskrishnan OG தற்குறி கூட்டம்

@yoganandht இங்கே பேசுபொருள் பணத்தின் உபயோகத்தைப் பற்றி அல்ல.

@tskrishnan தற்பொழுது அந்த இந்தோனேசிய பணம் உபயோகத்தில் இல்லை என நினைக்கிறேன்.

@dagalti @Raaga_Suresh Nalla kelunga. It is a total surprise that many are surprised by this

இது பெரிய தங்கமலை ரகசியம்! Unless paid, who in their right mind would support a party like the DMK?

@sobeeraj1 @VedveerArya3 Vijayanagara / Nayak period

@VedveerArya3 @tskrishnan swamy... this inscription belongs to which period? Any idea

Sanskrit inscription from Padaividu,Tamil Nadu This inscription is engraved on a rock found outside the village Padaividu,Polur taluk, Tiruvannamalai district,T.N. It is written in Sanskrit language and Grantha characters. Seems to records the gift of lands as sarvamaniya by Yedagonam Bhatta Sri for the merit of Nandagōpala Krishna Dēva.

@lalitadvani @CViraraghavan That’s kindergarten stuff. It’s not tough to understand that even Tamils would have called it differently. Since the post in English, the name of the jar is English is mentioned.

@tskrishnan @CViraraghavan I believe that there would have been a different name earlier which has metamorphed into torpedo jar.

In a significant discovery at Vembakkottai, torpedo jars have been excavated. These jars were widely used in maritime trade from around the 3rd century BCE and served as water-tight containers for transporting liquids such as oil, wine, and other commodities. Sangam literature itself attests to such exchanges. A well-known line refers to wine brought by ships of the Yavanas: “யவனர் நன் கலம் தந்த தண் கமழ் தேறல்” — indicating fragrant wine imported through overseas trade. There is also evidence that products like olive oil were transported in similar containers. What makes this discovery even more significant is the location. Vembakkottai lies along the banks of the Vaippar river, suggesting that these imported goods were not confined to coastal ports but were transported inland through riverine waterways. This points to a well-connected trade network integrating maritime and inland routes.

@lalitadvani @CViraraghavan You meant to say the post should be made in the language of 3rd century BCE as the content belong to that 😀

@CViraraghavan @tskrishnan It would not have been called torpedo jar then :)
