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

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.

*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 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.
