Regarding the completion of temple.

3 stages are important

1. Vastupurusha Sthapana
2. Prana Pratishtha
3. Purna Kalasa Samsthapana

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7
1. Vastupurusha Sthapana (Square Mandala) is done before the construction of temple to decide the "Brahmasthana" which is Garbhagriha. This is core & from here everything radiates.

2. Once Garbhagriha is ready, Prana Pratishtha can be done anytime before completion of shikhara.
Without establishing "Moolavirat" or deciding a spot for him, it is difficult to decide the "Brahma Randra" in the sikhara.

Since Moola viraat is traditionally "Achala Murti" & bigger than the Dwara . He is placed before fixing Dwara.

I can see "Dollukintha" of Sanchara Kurubas, the one I come from. We Kurumas in Telanagana are no more Sanchara, has a little different version called "Oggu Katha" - the ballads of our god "Beerappa" (a form of Shiva).

In continuation to the above, Writing a thread on beautiful culture I am brought up in, the less known colorful "Kuruma" culture of Telangana.

Tagging for wider reach @ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7 @hamsanandi @ivak99 @veejaysai @asingh_b @Anviksiki @PankajSaxena84
1. Kurumas were nomadic tribes once grazing the "Sheep". Sheep is integral part of our lives. Our ancestors took the herds to forests of Nallamala crossing River Krishna and the pebbles they collected in their journey became our gods. Berappa, form of shiva is our chief God.

Romila Thapar in her "Early India", hardly wrote two pages on Architecture but with full of lies & propaganda.

In the above snippet she says:

1. Buddhist Rock cut caves are stunning achievements - making readers believe that there were no such achievents prior buddhism.
2/7
2. She says that Buddhist caves inspired Vaishnava and Shaiva Rock Cut temples thus subtly lieing Hindu temples emerged from Buddhist caves. Like a crooked politician she uses "Vaishnava & Shaiva" instead of Hindu. Playing a British Game.

Since I come from Rural Telanagana let me mention some tasty food items.

1. Nothing can beat Jonna Rotte & Puntikura combination in the mornings and evenings.

2. Jonna Sangati with Chintakaya thokku & Salla is best beat for summers.
1/5
3. During sowing & harvest times, Guggillu (boiled Bebberlu, Kandhulu, uluvalu) is a favorite munching item. The extract of the boil is the most tasty chaaru by my mother.

4. Chaddhannam & Perugu - Madikaya thokku in the mornings is so soothing to stomach
2/5
5. Pacchi pulusu in over cooked rice - OMG.

6. Bendakaya Pulusu and Annam

7. Budankaya thokku, kacchi Tamata thokku, mamidikaya thokku are irresistible additions.
3/5
