Time of the year - October to March 

Length of the itinerary: 5-6 days

Itinerary Highlights: 

• Prasenjit kicks off the episode by giving us an overview of Guwahati and its strategic location as a gateway to the Northeast. The walk begins in the Nilachal Hills in Guwahati. 
• Kamakhya walks covers the spiritual trails in Assam, including but not limited to the iconic Kamakhya temple complex. The Kamakhya temple is believed to be one of the Shakti peeths in hinduism and is considered as a holy place for Hindus. It is believed that the reproductive organ of Sati, the wife of Shiva, landed here after the episode including her father’s yagnya. 
• Prasenjit provides us with a background of the story related to Sati, Shiva and Dakshya and how this place came to be such a significant place for Hindus. Kamakhya is also known as the center for Tantrik fertility worship, given the backstory. 
• We also review the pillars of Tantrik worship, its perceptions, as well as related practices. In addition to this, we also cover things like architecture, the concept of sacrifice, panchamakara offering in tantrik worship as well as the other significant temples in the Kamakhya complex. 
• We also discuss the festival of Ambubachi, the festival that celebrates the menstrual cycle of the goddess and its beliefs. The temple sees close to 500,000 devotees during this festival and is often referred to as the mini-kumbh. 
• The communities in the temple complex including the pandas or the priests, the mali community or the cleaning staff and the signers are discussed along with some commonly held perceptions. 
• Prasenjit also highlights the contribution of the Ahom kingdom to Assam, a kingdom that ruled the region for over 600 years and was never defeated by the Mughals in 17 attempts. We talk about the heroic Lachit Barphukan, his rise and achievements and how they are being identified by the National Defense Academy. 
• We discuss other important places in the vicinity including Uzan bazaar, flower markets, beautiful heritage buildings, Ugra Tara temple, Pobitora wildlife sanctuary, Mayang - the black magic capital, Umananda island - the smallest river island, Gurudwara in Dhubri, Paua Mecca mosque in Hajo, buddhist sites, Kaziranga and Manas national parks among other places. 
• The team also engages in arts and crafts tours covering bell metal, cane and bamboo, traditional jewellery, textile tours covering the popular muga silk in Sualkuchi, the gamcha or gamosa, makhela chador as well as the celebrations of Bihu
• Finally we discuss some exotic delicacies from Assam including rice and chicken powder, silkworm fry, ghost pepper or bhoot jhalokia, bamboo shoot and pork, sticky rice among other things.

Back in person and with more rambling than ever! On this episode, we look at some legends about the Hindu god Shiva, and his role as destroyer in the triumvirate of Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva. We look at Shiva's birth, his wedding to Sati, and his dance of change. We also talk about the nature of destruction and preservation, the importance of a spouse, and a whole lot of off-topic nonsense!  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

ಶಬರಿಮಲೆ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ. ಮಡೆ ಸ್ನಾನ. ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೇ ಜಾರಿ ಮಾಡಲಾದ ಮೂಢ ನಂಬಿಕೆಗಳ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಕಾನೂನು. ಬಾಲ್ಯ ವಿವಾಹ. ಹೀಗೆ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ ಮತ್ತು ಆಚರಣೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಗತಿಪರ ಮತ್ತು ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ದ್ರಷ್ಟಿಕೋಣದಿಂದ ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮಾಜ ಎದುರಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಅನೇಕ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳ ಮೂಲವನ್ನು ಹಲವರು ನಮ್ಮ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ ಮತ್ತು ಆಚರಣೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ ಮತ್ತು ಅದರ ಸುಧಾರಣೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಾವು ಹೇಗೆ ಯೋಚಿಸಬಹುದು, ಮತ್ತು ಯಾವ ಮಾರ್ಗೋಪಾಯಗಳು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸೂಕ್ತ?

ಡಾ. ಅಶ್ವಿನ್ ಕುಮಾರವರು ತಲೆ-ಹರಟೆ ಯ 77ನೇ ಕಂತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸೂರ್ಯ ಪ್ರಕಾಶ್ ಮತ್ತು ಪವನ್ ಶ್ರೀನಾಥ್ ಅವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಈ ವಿಷಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಚರ್ಚಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅಶ್ವಿನ್ ರವರು ಅಂದಾಬಾದ್ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೀನಿಯರ್ ಫೆಲೋ ಮತ್ತು ಉಪನ್ಯಾಸಕರಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ. ಅವರು ಹಿಂದೆ ತಲೆ-ಹರಟೆ ಯ 27ನೇ ಕಂತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರವಾದ ಮತ್ತು ಭಾಷೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದರು.

The Sabarimala temple entry judgment. Made-snaana in Coastal Karnataka. Karnataka's Anti-Superstition Act. Child marriage. India's society faces many challenges, and many of these seem to stem from its traditions and customs. These traditions and customs are also increasingly being critically examined from a progressive or rational perspective. How can one think of tradition and reform, and what questions are we not asking?

Dr AP Ashwin Kumar returns to The Thale-Harate Kannada Podcast on Episode 77 and talks to hosts Surya Prakash and Pavan Srinath. Ashwin is a Senior Fellow and Faculty at Ahmedabad University. He was here previously on Episode 27 to discuss nationalism and language: https://ivmpodcasts.com/harate-kannada-podcast-episode-list/2019/6/27/ep-27-nationalism-and-language
