A thread on Karnataka's Multi arch check dams just doing their job. We've built nearly 5000+ such dams in the last 5 years under MGNREGA. #MGNREGA
The check dam with arches is in best form when there is water trying to build pressure from behind. #mgnrega
On plain lands, reservoirs are created and bunds built to store rain water. #mgnrega
The raised corner arches prevent erosion and eddies on the sides.
A movie buff would call the arches Amar,Akbar, Anthony.
A bridge across a dam. Engineers 👍

When I see rain falling in the background and a check dam catching all its water, it feels like a time lapsed mirror image.

A masterclass by BMK on how some music can't seperate itself from lyrics.His rendition of Tyagayya's 'Mokshamu Galada' is unique. Observe the rendition of the samasa - Jivanmuktulugaani(Jeevana+Mukti+ kaani - Those that aren't liberated from the cycle of life)
This samasa is broken at Jeevan & repeated. Listen to the great rendition of Mokshamu Galada by Sh.Narayanswamy with the cut at Jeevan.
Listen to BMK's flowy, sublime, surreal Mokshamu galada.

*Thread on a forgotten hill-station in Sandur block, Ballari district*
After Thomas Munro annexed the territory of Sandur he decided “the [Raja of Sandur] was as much a sovereign in his own valley as any prince in India” & re-instated him as a prince through a Sanad on 7.7.1826. The valley of Sandur has been shaped by a seasonal stream ca
The Sanads(deeds) were renewed periodically & in 1846,the Raja permitted the establishment of a
Sanitarium in Ramandurg on application of the Collector, Bellary.The town of Bellary now hosted a number of Europeans,mostly in the Cantonment working in the military or civil service. The Prince of Sandur photographed in 1880.
The hill-station had places with names like Tower Hill, Bee Flat, Watergate, Redclyffe Rock, the Bamboo Jungle, Neill's Road, Mr. Story’s house, Captain Fredfield’s house. James Morant, the Chaplain of Bellary, captured these places on his canvass between 1851-56.
