๐ HISTORY, ART & CULTURE
๐ Brick Structure Found in Kollidam Riverbed
๐ข A possible Sangam-period water-management structure, around 2,000 years old, was found on the Kollidam riverbed at Koogur near Lalgudi, Tiruchi district, Tamil Nadu.
๐ข The site is close to the ancient Kallanai dam, traditionally attributed to Karikala Chola.
๐ข Structure contains large rectangular and wedge-shaped bricks along with stone structural elements.
๐ข Likely function: sluice, inlet/outlet channel or canal-regulating structure for water management.
๐ข Its design is comparable to an ancient water-management structure at Vanagiri near Kaveripoompattinam (Poompuhar).
๐ข Kurampu refers to a water-management structure comparable to a check dam, mentioned in literary and inscriptional sources.
๐ข Kollidam River: Northern and larger distributary of the Kaveri, splitting near Srirangam and flowing into the Bay of Bengal near Pazhaiyar.
๐ Thirukkural โ Gift to Russian President
๐ข Ahead of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, the Indian Prime Minister gifted the Russian President a Russian-translated edition of Thirukkural.
๐ข Written by Thiruvalluvar, the classical Tamil text contains 1,330 couplets arranged in 133 chapters.
๐ข Each couplet (Kural) consists of seven words.
๐ข Three themes: Aram (Virtue) โ 38 chapters; Porul (Polity) โ 70; Inbam (Love) โ 25.
๐ข First published in English in 1840 and subsequently translated into 60+ languages.

๐ข Designated a Ramsar Site in 2022.
