Kurangu kusala (1962) was a caricature which was published in the ‘Rani’ weekly<br />
<br />
magazine. It features a tall wife and a short husband. An event from everyday life is<br />
<br />
depicted in a funny aspect.<br />
== Publication ==<br />
In 1962, when Rani weekly magazine was first published, it included the Kurangu<br />
<br />
Kusala caricature in it. It is often featured on the third page from the cover. In 1990,<br />
<br />
the cartoon was discontinued.<br />
<br />
It was drawn by Vaali, who drew caricatures in the daily newspaper “Dinathandhi”.<br />
== Characteristics ==<br />
Kurangu kusala is the female lead in this cartoon. She was tall of stature and her<br />
<br />
physiognomy was similar to that of a monkey. Her husband was short of stature with<br />
<br />
a similar physiognomy to his wife. An event which occurs in their family is depicted<br />
<br />
as a joke. Incidents which happen during events such as Pongal, Diwali and elections<br />
<br />
are portrayed through mockery. Kusala has been presented as a woman with self-<br />
<br />
confidence and her husband is portrayed as an innocent man.<br />
<br />
Kurangu Kusala’s cartoons also featured political criticism of that time. “Stand<br />
<br />
unassisted, like Krishnamenon” says Kusala, carrying a ladder as her husband hangs<br />
<br />
from a branch.<br />
== Impact ==<br />
Kurangu Kusala was a popular caricature in the seventies and eighties. A habit had<br />
<br />
developed wherein a short husband and a tall wife used to be ridiculed as Kurangu<br />
<br />
kusala. It was discontinued after criticism arised on the bodyshaming involved in it.<br />

<br />
Elangadu Rishabhadevar Temple (15th century AD) is a Jain temple located at Elangadu in the Thiruvannamalai district of North Tamil Nadu (Thondaimandalam). The first Tirthankara (supreme preacher), Rishabhanatha Devar, is the presiding deity.<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
Rishabhadevar Temple is located at Elangadu/Ilangadu, one kilometer west of the road from Vandavasi to Thellar, Tiruvannamalai District.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In the 15th century AD, Jains settled in Elangadu and built this temple. A new temple was constructed recently since the old one deteriorated. <br />
<br />
== Construction ==<br />
The presiding deity of this temple is the first Tirthankara, Rishabhanadha Devar. The mandapam, which was part of the earlier temple structure, is now present in the south side adjacent to the circular compound wall. Since the pillars in this hall are square and octagonal in design and from the structure of the bevel and screws in the upper portion, it is understood that they belong to the 15th century AD. These pillars also have floral designs on them.<br />
<br />
The previously originated temple was facing the north direction. After it fell into disrepair, a new temple was established on a slightly larger scale, designed such that it faced the west direction. There was a rumour that this temple was built earlier for warriors and the idol in it was slightly damaged which was then removed and Rishabhanadha was placed in the sanctorum instead. <br />
<br />
At present, the temple consists of segments such as sanctorum, Arthamandapam and Mughamandapam. It is popularly called as “Mottai Gopuram” because of the presence of a circular compound wall around it and the absence of tower platforms on the westside above the entrance. On top of this, is an idol of Maharavira; it is not ancient.<br />
<br />
== Sculptures and Statues ==<br />
There is a sculpture of Rishabhanathar depicting a state of meditation in the sanctorum and the pedestal is engraved with the Rishabha symbol. On the north side of the hall is Lord Brahma and on the south side is Goddess Dharmadevi. Lord Brahma is depicted with four heads and is seated on an elephant as a vehicle. The statue of goddess Dharmadevi is placed on a pedestal in Amartha kolam. Both these sculptures were placed at the beginning of this century.<br />
<br />
There are metal idols of Neminadhar, Dharmadevi, Baahubali, Parsuvanadhar, Juvala Malini, etc. Among these, except the statues of Neminadhar and Dharmadevi, the rest were created in recent times.<br />
<br />
== Neminadhar Statue ==<br />
There is a two feet tall metal statue of Neminadhar standing on a lotus flower shaped pedestal with carvings. This belongs to the 14th -15th century AD. The conch, which is the symbol of Tirthankara Neminadhar, is present on the pedestal of this Neminadhar statue. There is a scripture containing alphabets from the 15th -16th century AD. This scripture states that this idol in Elangadu belongs to Thirumaylapuri and was founded by Jinasena Acharya. This has cleared the fact that the Neminadhar’s idol belongs to the Sainak temple at Mylpaore, Chennai and that it was established here by Jinasena Acharya. <br />
The stone sculpture of Neminadhar was carried away from Mylapore to Chithamur. Another metal idol represents Dharmadevi Yakshi. All the clothing, accessories and decorative works on these models are from the 15th -16th century. These were brought from Mylapore as well. Although there is no scriptural evidence to confirm this, its period and style can be known from the fact that it is similar to the idols of Neminadhar. <br />

<div>{{Read Tamil|Name of target page=உறுமி கோமாளியாட்டம்|Title of target page=உறுமி கோமாளியாட்டம்}}[[File:உறுமி கோமாளியாட்டம்.jpg|thumb|Urumi Komaliyaatam]]The dance form Urumi Komaliyaatam is given this name because it involves the musical instrument, Urumi, as the background. Two or three clowns (''Komali'') dance to the tune of the Urumi. Since it takes place with the musical instrument, Urumi, it is popularly called as ''Urumiatam''. This dance often takes place in the villages of South Arcot, North Arcot, Chengalpattu, Trichy and Salem districts. This act is performed on the day after pongal in the month of January.<br />
<br />
== Procedure ==<br />
The artists who take part in Urumi Komaliyaatam dress up similarly to supporting artists of Karagaatam. They dance to the instruments such as flute, Kanjira, Urumi and ''orumuga perigai.''<br />
<br />
This dance is performed in the open space in front of the village temple or a theatre is set up in public places where the villagers gather. These artists choreograph and dance according to the music from the Urumi. It is similar to ''Karagattam Komaliyaatam.'' <br />
<br />
A song about the deity of the temple is sung by the one who plays other musical instruments apart from the Urumi or by the back singer. One of the two dancing clowns will dance to this song. Dancing to the tune of the Urumi without a song is also performed.<br />
<br />
== Social context ==<br />
These artists often perform these shows to collect money. Researcher A.K. Perumal has mentioned that this was once a temple-related art, and it was performed only in the wide area in front of the temple, according to his field-study on this art. <br />
<br />
== Performers ==<br />
<br />
* Clown- one or two clowns dress up in costumes and dance to the tune of the Urumi.<br />
* Musician- the person who plays urumi as well as other musical instruments.<br />
* Back singer- he sings songs about the deity of the temple and also sings the chorus according to the music. <br />
