ದೃಷ್ಟಿಕೋನಗಳು | ಶಿವಲಿಂಗರುದ್ರಸರ್ಜ - ಥ್ಯಾಕರೇ - ರಾಣಿ ಚನ್ನಮ್ಮ | Kittur Episode 08

This is a special episode exploring the emotions surrounding Kittur during its final days. Through the perspectives of Shivalingarudrasarja, Thackeray, and Rani Channamma, the episode looks at the same moment in history through different eyes. The episode is deliberately cinematographed around the silence that remains in Kittur after the storm has passed. No background score has been used. Every frame is carefully and quietly composed, allowing the silence, the place, and the story to speak for themselves. This is not just an episode about what happened. It is about how it may have felt! Brought to you by Mysoorina Kathegalu!

Paranjyoti, also known as Sirruthondar, was a 7th‑century Pallava general who served under King Narasimhavarman I (630‑668 CE). Originally a warrior of the Pallava dynasty, he distinguished himself in the campaign against the Chalukyas of Vatapi and is credited with leading the Pallava forces that captured Vatapi in 642 CE, killing the Chalukya king Pulakeshin II  ¹ ². After his military career, Paranjyoti renounced violence and became a Saivite monk, eventually being counted among the 63 Nayanars, the Shaivite saints of Tamil tradition. His legend is celebrated in Tamil literature, notably in Kalki Krishnamurthy’s novel _Sivagamiyin Sapatham_  ¹. Would you like to know more about the Vatapi conquest or how Paranjyoti’s story is remembered in Tamil religious texts?

The Badami Chalukyas were the rock‑stars of early medieval South India (6th, 8th century). They kicked off the Chalukya dynasty from their capital at Badami (then Vatapi) in Karnataka. - *Founders*: Pulakeshin I carved out the kingdom around 540 CE; his son Karikala expanded it. - *Golden age*: Pulakeshin II (c. 610‑642) is the big name, he beat Harsha of Kannauj, took control of the Deccan, and even sent an embassy to the Persian king. - *Architecture*: They built the famous cave temples at Badami (cave 1‑4) and the early structural temples at Aihole and Pattadakal, think bold pillars, intricate carvings, and a mix of Dravidian & Nagara styles. - *Culture*: Patrons of art, literature, and both Hindu & Jain traditions. The poet‑king Ravikirti’s Aihole inscription is a key historical record. - *Legacy*: Their rule paved the way for the later Rashtrakutas and the Western Chalukyas, shaping the region’s political and cultural landscape for centuries.

Immadi Pulikeshin II, also known as Pulakeshin II, was the greatest Chalukyan Emperor who ruled from Vatapi (present-day Badami in Karnataka, India) from around 609 to 642 CE. He expanded the Chalukya Empire to cover most of the Deccan region in peninsular India, making him a legendary figure in Karnataka's history. *Early Life and Reign* - He was the son of Chalukya monarch Kirttivarman I and overthrew his uncle Mangalesha to claim the throne. - Pulikeshin II suppressed rebellions, defeated the Kadambas of Banavasi, and gained the allegiance of the Alupas and Gangas of Talakadu. *Military Conquests* - *Victory over Harshavardhana*: His most notable achievement was defeating the powerful northern emperor Harshavardhana, earning him the title "Paramaveshvara" (Supreme Lord). - He conquered the Vishnukundina kingdom (lower Godavari-Krishna valley) and appointed his brother Kubja Vishnu-vardhana as governor. - He also subjugated rulers of Dakshina Kosala and Kalinga. *Cultural Contributions* - Pulikeshin II was a Vaishnavite Hindu but patronized Jainism, evident from the Aihole inscription composed by poet Ravikirtti, which records the construction of a Jinendra temple. - He encouraged Zoroastrian refugees (Parsis) fleeing Arab-Islamic persecution in Persia to settle on India's west coast. - Architectural feats include temples in Badami, Aihole (like Meguti Jain temple), and Pattadakal, blending cave and Dravidian styles. *Legacy* - Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang described Pulikeshin as "farsighted, astute, and kind," with subjects who valued loyalty and honor. - His story inspired works like Kalki Krishnamurthy's Tamil novel "Sivagamiyin Sapatham" (1948) and the 1967 Kannada film "Immadi Pulikeshi" starring Dr. Rajkumar. - He's remembered as a great warrior, shrewd politician, and benevolent ruler in Karnataka's history ¹ ² ³.
