Tamil Nadu CM Vijay offers prayers at Kanaka Durga Temple in Vijayawada
Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Oct 13 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay offered prayers at the Kanaka Durga Temple here. After his arrival at Gannavaram Airport by a special aircraft from Chennai, Vijay drove to the famous hill shrine and offered prayers on the eve of Dasara. The temple priests and officials accorded a warm welcome to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister as per the temple traditions. Following the darshan, the priests rendered Veda Ashirvachanam and presented him the sacred offering. Vijay later left for his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidus official residence in Amaravati for talks on water sharing. Chandrababu Naidu and Minister Nara Lokesh warmly welcomed Chief Minister Vijay on his arrival at the Chief Ministers residence. During the meeting, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu introduced Ministers P. Narayana and Nimmala Ramanaidu, along with MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, to his Tamil Nadu counterpart. The bilateral discussions are likely to focus on inter-state water management, specifically expediting the release of Krishna River water to Chennai under the Telugu Ganga Project. They are also likely to discuss the proposed interlinking of Godavari and Cauvery rivers. The discussions come amid concern over the limited quantity of water received under the Telugu Ganga project. Andhra Pradesh is required to supply 12 tmc annually to meet Chennais drinking water needs, but Tamil Nadu had received only 2.251 tmc by the beginning of October this year. CM Vijay is expected to raise the shortfall with CM Naidu and discuss measures to improve supplies. Vijay, along with Chandrababu Naidu, will also participate in Vijayawada Utsav 2.0. Earlier, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister was received by Municipal Administration P. Narayana and senior officials at Gannavaram Airport. A large number of the actor-politicians fans had gathered outside the airport to welcome him. Vijay waved at the crowd before getting into the car. Police had made tight security arrangements at the airport and along the route from the airport to Kanaka Durga Temple. Some overenthusiastic fans were seen running behind Vijays convoy to catch a glimpse. This is Vijays first visit to Andhra Pradesh after assuming office as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Andhra SEC to announce local body polls schedule after gazette notifications
Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Oct 13 (IANS) The schedule for local body elections in Andhra Pradesh will be announced after the departments concerned issue gazette notifications, State Election Commissioner (SEC) Anil Chandra Punetha said on Tuesday. The SEC added that the poll schedule will be announced once the state government communicates its readiness for the elections. Punetha said the elections would be conducted in an effective manner. He assured all security measures in the sensitive and hyper sensitive areas. He held a meeting with representatives of 20 political parties here on Tuesday. He told media after the meeting that the political parties sought security for the contesting candidates. They also submitted various suggestions to the SEC, including timely issuance of caste certificates. The state government on Monday announced reservation for Scheduled Tribes (STs), Scheduled Castes (SCs), Backward Classes (BCs) and women for the posts of Mayors in 17 municipal corporations and chairpersons in 106 municipalities and nagar panchayats. The state government has earmarked one Mayoral seat for STs (Mangalagiri Tadepalli), two seats for SCs (Kurnool Women and Rajamahendravaram General), five seats for BCs (Kakinada Women, Machilipatnam Women, Eluru General, Anantapuram General, and Chittoor General). Five Mayoral seats have been reserved under Women (General) for Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Guntur, Kadapa, and the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC). Mayor seats in Tirupati, Vijayawada, Ongole, and Nellore remained unreserved. Commissioner and Director of Municipal Administration, P. Sampath Kumar, issued an official notification determining and finalising the ward-wise reservation of seats for STs, SCs, BCs and women across 13 major municipal corporations in the state. The state government has capped overall reservation for all categories at 50 per cent after the High Court struck down its order for 34 per cent reservation for BCs. The Supreme Court on October 9 dismissed its plea challenging the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The apex court questioned the legal basis of the data relied upon by the state government to justify the enhanced BC quota, particularly the findings of a Unified Family Survey. On October 1, the Andhra Pradesh High Court struck down two government orders providing 34 per cent reservation for BCs in local body elections, saying that the quota breached the 50 per cent ceiling on total reservations. The High Court said that the aggregate reservation for all categories in local bodies should not exceed 50 per cent in accordance with the Supreme Court's guidelines. The court judgment came as a setback to the N. Chandrababu Naidu-led coalition government, as increasing BC reservation in local bodies from 20 per cent to 34 per cent was one of its key promises during the 2024 Assembly elections. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had announced the enhanced quota on August 18, saying that BCs would get 34 per cent reservation in rural local bodies and 33.33 per cent in urban local bodies.

Why the Festive Season Still Means a New Wardrobe for Telugu Households

Highlights: Radhika wears a Kalamkari ensemble by Mayyur Girotra and Swadesh. The skirt features Krishna Leela and Tree of Life motifs. Peacocks, sacred cows and lotus blossoms decorate the textile. Zardozi, pitta, dabka and appliqu add intricate detailing. The look combines traditional Indian craft with contemporary couture. Indian business tycoon family's Radhika Merchant Ambanis latest fashion appearance was about more than an elaborate outfit. At Swadeshs first anniversary celebration in Mumbai, she wore a corset-and-skirt ensemble that brought together traditional Indian textile art and modern couture. Created by designer Mayyur Girotra in collaboration with Swadesh, the outfit featured a structured, strapless corset paired with a floor-length skirt and a flowing dupatta. While the fitted bodice gave the look a contemporary silhouette, the skirt was the real centerpiece, covered in hand-painted Kalamkari artwork. The textile featured earthy shades of gold and brown, with touches of pink and blue. Metallic embroidery added definition to the intricate designs, allowing the painted motifs to stand out. See on Instagram Krishna Leela And The Tree Of Life The skirts most striking feature was its storytelling. Its painted compositions drew inspiration from Krishna Leela, depicting episodes associated with the life and stories of Lord Krishna, alongside Kalpavriksha, commonly known as the Tree of Life. Peacocks, sacred cows, lotus blossoms and floral vines appeared throughout the fabric. Together, these motifs brought devotional imagery and elements of the natural world into the design. The Tree of Life is a recurring symbol in traditional art, often associated with growth, continuity and the interconnectedness of life. In this ensemble, it complemented the Krishna-inspired scenes, giving the skirt a visual narrative rather than making it simply a decorative piece. The combination also reflected how Indian textiles have long been used to preserve stories, beliefs and artistic traditions through generations. What Makes Kalamkari Special? Kalamkari is a traditional Indian textile art known for its detailed, hand-drawn designs and the use of natural dyes. The Srikalahasti tradition of Andhra Pradesh is particularly associated with religious and mythological storytelling. Unlike a fabric that relies entirely on printed patterns, Kalamkari involves considerable artistic skill, with intricate compositions created through drawing and coloring techniques. The result can turn a garment into a canvas for stories drawn from mythology, nature and cultural memory. Radhikas skirt brought this tradition into a contemporary luxury setting. The hand-painted compositions remained central to the design, while metallic detailing added a more elaborate finish. See on Instagram Traditional Craft Meets Contemporary Couture Girotra and the Swadesh artisans further embellished the textile using zardozi, pitta, dabka and appliqu techniques. These details framed the painted artwork and introduced texture without overwhelming the original designs. The corset created a contrast with the skirts rich detailing and flowing shape. Its fitted structure gave the ensemble a modern edge, while the dupatta softened the silhouette. That balance was central to the look. Instead of presenting traditional textile art as something reserved for heritage garments, the ensemble showed how it can be incorporated into contemporary occasionwear. Swadeshs anniversary celebration also placed the outfit within a wider conversation about Indian craftsmanship and luxury. Traditional techniques can remain relevant in modern fashion when designers work with artisans to preserve the details that make each textile distinctive. See on Instagram A Celebration Of Indian Artisans Radhikas ensemble highlighted the skill involved in bringing hand-painted designs, embroidery and appliqu together in one garment. Every element contributed to a larger composition, from the mythological scenes to the floral patterns and metallic embellishments. The result was a look that connected Indian artistic traditions with contemporary couture. More than an elaborate skirt, it offered a reminder of how textiles can carry stories across generations while finding a place in modern wardrobes.

Pawan Kalyan seeks adequate representation for Jana Sena in local body polls
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 11 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Sunday called for adequate representation for his Jana Sena Party in the upcoming local body elections in recognition of what he called sacrifices of the party cadres for the formation and success of the ruling coalition. He said that the Jana Sena Party and Janasainiks (party cadres) have made many sacrifices for the formation and success of the alliance, and in recognition of their sacrifices, they should be given adequate representation in the local bodies in accordance with the alliance's dharma. He stated that they had fought for the future of the state in the 2024 general elections and expressed the hope that the upcoming local body elections would ensure a secure future for the 'Janasainiks'. The Jana Sena leader was speaking at the launch of the 'Adavitalli Bata 2.0' programme on Sunday at Kakavada in the Rampachodavaram constituency of Polavaram district. He appealed to people to back the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the upcoming local body elections, promising to undertake more development works. He emphasised that leaders and cadres of Jana Sena and activists from other parties within the coalition must move forward with mutual coordination and actively participate in village development. He urged every leader within the alliance to stand by and support every activist who worked hard for the party and the alliance, ensuring they receive due recognition and respect. When we stood in support of the alliance in 2024, not a single Janasainik aspired for a political post. They worked selflessly, prioritising the state's interests above all else. They made numerous sacrifices for the party and the alliance, setting aside their personal interests, he said. The actor-politician said that even during the arrest of N. Chandrababu Naidu, Janasainiks and 'Veera Mahilas' (women cadres) took to the streets to express their solidarity. We must never forget the sacrifices of those who stood by us during difficult times. In the upcoming local body elections, we must respect the alliance dharma and ensure appropriate representation for Janasainiks and Veera Mahilas. Their sacrifices deserve due recognition. We must honour the trust of those who stood by us without seeking any positions of power. Pawan Kalyan said that the coalition government is implementing the 'Adavitalli Bata' programme with the aim of providing road connectivity to tribal villages and bringing them onto the path of development. We are taking measures to improve education, healthcare, employment, transportation, and market facilities in tribal areas through road construction. He stated that, with the cooperation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under the leadership of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, the Adavitalli Bata' programme is being implemented by coordinating schemes such as PM-JANMAN, PMGSY-IV and the Employment Guarantee Scheme. We launched this initiative in the Polavaram, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Nandyal and Eluru districts. Under this programme, we undertook works worth Rs 1,406 crore to construct 1,662 kilometres of roads connecting 858 tribal habitations. Carrying forward this same spirit, we sanctioned a total of 2,569 works worth Rs 2,052 crore under 'Adivi Thalli Bata 2.0' to build 1,976 kilometres of roads and 45 bridges for another 1,341 habitations, he added.
