An ancient Vishnu temple close to the River Coovam

Satharai (Sattarai), home to ancient temples for Karumanikka Perumal (Vishu), Vasishteshwar (Siva) and Chelliamman, is a small village in Thiruvallur district. It is said that since Bodhayana Maharishi performed the Satra yagam (a ritual performed for the welfare of the world) in this place, it subsequently came to be called Satharai. River Coovam flows close to the rear side of this temple. The tiny Karumanikka Perumal temple faces east with a modern three-storey gopuram in front. This leads to the bali-pitham and dvajastambham (flag- post), in front of which is the Garuda shrine facing the principal sanctum. Ahead is a modern mandapa in concrete with images of Dasavatara or ten incarnations of Vishnu. The presiding deity of this temple is a stone image of Karumanikka Perumal in a standing posture, with four hands, the upper two holding the Sankha and Chakra , while the lower right hand is in abhaya hasta (blessing devotees) and lower left hand is in kati hasta (resting on the hip). He is flanked by Goddess Sridevi and Bhudevi. Sridevi in this temple is worshipped as Kamalavalli and Bhudevi is known as Kanakavalli which is an unique feature. The utsava-murti (processional image), also seen with Sridevi and Bhudevi, is just like the main deity except that the left hand is in varada hasta (boon-giving gesture). Although most Vishnu temples in Tamil Nadu have a shrine for Goddess Lakshmi, there are a few which do not, and this temple falls into the second category. However, the utsava-murti of this Goddess, known as Kamalavalli Thayar, is worshipped in the main sanctum. Attesting to the fact that this is an ancient temple is a Tamil inscription which had been discovered on a slab in the ardha-mandapa in front of the central shrine. This fragmentary epigraph is datable to the reign of Jatavarman Tribhuvanachakravartin Sundara Pandya Deva, king of Madurai. In all likelihood, this ruler was Jatavarman Sundara Pandya I (1251-1268 CE), an emperor who enlarged the Pandyan kingdom into an Empire. It appears to record an endowment made by this king for the expenses of celebrating the Panguni festival in the temple of Thiruvirkolam Udaiya Nayanar of Koovam alias Tyagasamudranallur. Since this inscription records that this donation was made in his 26th regnal year, it must be dated 1277 CE. The temple mentioned in this lithic record is that of Tripurantaka Swami in Koovam, about 15 km from Sattarai, which is a Padal Petra Sthalam or temple eulogised by the Nayanmars, located close to the source of River Coovam. Many festivals are celebrated in this small, but neatly maintained Karumanikka Perumal temple such as Pournami in Chittirai ; Panguni Uttiram; Vaikuntha Ekadasi in Margazhi and Andal Thirukalyanam.

BJP appoints state poll officers to oversee organisational elections

NEW DELHI: In a move towards electing its national president, the BJP on Friday appointed two Union ministers and a former Union and current MP as state election officers to oversee its organisational elections in Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal. These elections are a precursor to the much-anticipated election for the partys national president. Dr K Laxman, BJP OBC Morchas national president and the partys National Election Officer (NEO), has appointed Union ministers Kiren Rijiju and Harsh Malhotra, and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, as state election officers of Maharashtra, Uttarakhand and West Bengal, respectively. They will supervise the election of the state party presidents as well as the election of national council members. Meanwhile, a highly reliable senior source indicated that the party is, in all probability, expected to announce its new national president by July 15, after the appointment of state presidents in several states, including Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Tripura, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and others, as part of the build-up to the national election. Sources hinted that Punjab and Delhi may receive their new state presidents after the election of the new national president. The announcements for Gujarat and UP may take place between July 4 and 11. The BJP central leadership is intent on completing the organisational election process as soon as possible ideally between July 15 and 20. It prefers completing the exercise before the Monsoon Session of Parliament, scheduled to begin on July 21 and end on August 12. The session is expected to be stormy, with debates on several contentious issues. The top priority now is to elect the state presidents for Telangana and Andhra between July 1 and 5. Tripura is also expected to get a new state President between June 29 and July 2.

Tripura becomes Indias third fully literate state

GUWAHATI: Tripura was on Monday declared a fully literate state, becoming the third in the country to achieve this milestone after Goa and Mizoram. Chief Minister Manik Saha made the announcement based on data from the Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society (ULLAS) initiative. He described it as a historic milestone in Tripuras journey towards literacy and a proud moment for its people. Tripura has become the third state in the country, after Mizoram and Goa, to achieve full literacy. The states literacy rate now stands at 95.6%, the Chief Minister said. This achievement has been made possible through the effective implementation of the New India Literacy Programme ULLAS in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. I congratulate my brothers and sisters of Tripura on this historic occasion, he posted on X. ULLAS is a centrally sponsored scheme aimed at promoting lifelong learning and literacy among adults aged 15 and above who missed out on formal education. It seeks to empower them with foundational literacy, numeracy, and essential life skills, in line with NEP 2020. Reflecting on Tripuras literacy journey, Saha said the state had made significant progress over the decades. The literacy rate was a mere 20.24% in 1961. Despite many challenges, it rose to 87.22% by the 2011 Census, making Tripura the third most literate state at the time, after Kerala and Mizoram. The literacy rate further increased to 93.7% in 202324 and now stands at 95.6% for 202425, according to the Periodic Labour Force Survey reports. As per central government norms, a state or Union Territory is considered fully literate when it crosses the 95% literacy threshold. Saha also noted that earlier literacy programmes were largely limited to teaching basic signature skills. However, the government has now moved beyond that approach, focusing on functional literacy to equip learners with real-life skills.

Dont think there is a goldmine: SC warns petitioner over repeated pleas against Ambanis Z+ security cover

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday criticised the petitioner for repeatedly challenging the Z+ security cover provided to Reliance Industries Chairman and billionaire businessman Mukesh Ambani and his family. The application, filed by one Bikash Saha, sought a direction from the top court to revoke the Z+ security cover given to Ambani and his family members. The top court not only dismissed Shah's plea but also warned him of imposing exemplary costs if he continued to pursue this matter or file similar petitions in the future. The applicant (Bikash Shah) has no locus standi to challenge the security provided by the State after duly evaluating the threat inputs, and we warned that any further proceedings will lead to the Court imposing exemplary costs on him, said, a two-judge vacation bench of the top court, headed by Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Manmohan. While passing the order on Friday, the apex court bench reiterated that the Z+ security cover provided to Mukesh Ambani, his wife Neeta Ambani and children Anant, Aakash and Isha should continue to be given. Rjecting Saha's plea, the top court observed, is it the Supreme Court to decide who is to be given what security? This is something new which has popped up. New genre of jurisprudence. Is this our domain?. Coming down heavily on Saha, the court further added, Who are you to decide the threat perception? Government of India will decide that, no? Tomorrow, if some mishap happens, will you take responsibility? Or will the Court take responsibility for it? Don't do this, this is very serious and we are warning you. Don't think there is a goldmine to be snatched over here and we are not here to facilitate your process, the court opined. During the course of the hearing, senior advocate and former Attorney General (AG) of India, Mukul Rohatgi, for Mukesh Ambani and his family, objected to the plea. The security is granted by the government, considering the threat perception. This gentleman (Saha) has nothing to do with it, he said. Rohatgi further added that Saha had first filed a PIL in Tripura against the security which we get from the Government of India, for which we pay. That matter came here, the Union brought it here, the Supreme Court passed strictures saying he has no business in doing all this, and the order of the Tripura High Court was set aside.

4 railways officials suspended for giving filthy coach to BSF jawans

NEW DELHI: A day after a video went viral showing dilapidated rail coaches requisitioned to transport over a thousand BSF personnel from Tripura to Jammu, Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ordered the suspension of four railway officials responsible for the decision. The BSF personnel were being moved for security duty for the upcoming Amarnath Yatra. Those suspended included a coaching depot officer and three senior section engineers from the Alipurduar division under the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) for undermining the dignity of the security forces and failing to allocate clean coaches. An inquiry has also been ordered. The minister said such negligence would not be tolerated. The NFR initially denied the allegations, posting on X, The allegation that BSF was provided such kind of coach for travel is incorrect. Coaches are provided for travel only after necessary maintenance, repairs and cleaning. When the BSF personnel arrived to board the train on June 10, they found the coaches in unhygienic condition. The videos they recorded went viral and sparked a public outcry. The Modi government faced a barrage of criticism. Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed said, This is what happens when the governments entire focus is on PR for a few flashy trains, while the masses are forced to travel like animals. Shame on @narendramodi and @AshwiniVaishnaw for providing a filthy train full of dirt, cockroaches, and broken seats for our BSF soldiers heading for Amarnath Yatra duty.
