Dress code for Rudrabhishek at Mankameshwar
Prayagraj: This Shrawan month, which will begin on July 11, devotees willing to perform Rudrabhishek (special puja) of Lord Shiva at the famous Mankameshwar temple campus will have to follow a dress code. While women devotees must wear a saree or suit, men devotees will need to wear a dhoti, kurta, and paijama while performing Rudrabhishek on the temple campus. The management of Mankameshwar temple has decided to implement a dress code for devotees only for those willing to perform Rudrabhishek during the Shrawan month. "Devotees must be conscious of Indian culture and tradition and must wear decent clothes while performing Rudrabhishek on the temple campus," said chief priest Mahant Shridharanand Brahmachari. For other devotees arriving for darshan, there will be no dress code, he made it clear. He, however, appealed to devotees to wear traditional Indian dress while visiting temples to offer prayers to deities.

Schools in DK expect a rise admissions to Class 1
Mangaluru: Schools in the district expect an increase in admissions to Class 1 this academic year due to the relaxation of the minimum age limit — from six years to 5 years and 5 months. According to officials, this will be the last academic year for such an exemption to be granted. The state has announced that it will adhere to the Right to Education (RTE) and National Education Policy (NEP), which will allow only those who have completed age six as of June 1 from next year. Govinda Madivala, DDPI, Dakshina Kannada, is hopeful that they expect to see an increase of an additional 500 to 600 admissions to Class 1. "These additional admissions we expect are more than targeted for the current academic year. Last year, 30,860 students joined Class 1 in DK district," said Madivala, adding that higher primary schools also see an additional 2,000 students' admissions every year, especially from class 5 or 6, as students from other districts join here. "We will be able to get a complete picture only after July, as the admissions process is open till then," he explained. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Berlin: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo "Admissions are going on at full swing in govt schools. It was initially affected by recent heavy rain, which stopped many students from other districts, particularly from north Karnataka, from getting admissions. The numbers are likely to go up after their return," said a school head. A block education officer (BEO) confirmed the same and added: "With this relaxation, children who went to anganwadis or whose names are not registered in the Student Achievement Tracking System (SATS) and are 5 years and 5 months old are now eligible. Those who attend kindergarten (LKG/UKG), registered in SATS, and not completed UKG are not eligible even if they are 5 years and 5 months old." The BEO further explained that the SATS database contains comprehensive information, and this new flexibility in admission criteria will particularly advantage students entering govt schools, as they typically do not attend kindergarten programmes.

Three Indian Dishes Ranked Among World's Best 50 Breakfasts, Third Might Surprise You!
India's morning flavors are making waves on the global stage, and foodies have reason to celebrate. TasteAtlas, the internationally recognised food and travel guide, has just released its much-awaited list of the '50 Best Breakfasts in the World,' and THREE Indian classics have carved out a place among the global elite. From the fiery streets of Maharashtra to the bustling lanes of Delhi and the homely kitchens of North India, Misal Pav, Paratha, and Chole Bhature have earned well-deserved spots in the top rankings. These dishes aren't just about taste, they represent culture, community, and comfort. Here's a look at why these iconic Indian breakfasts have taken the world by storm. Ranked #18: Misal Pav- Maharashtra's Fiery Masterpiece Spicy, crunchy, colorful, and comforting, Misal Pav is a dish that packs a punch with every bite. Ranked 18th on the list, this Maharashtrian delicacy is a flavorful mix of spicy sprouted bean curry (misal), topped with crunchy farsan, fresh onions, coriander, and a dash of lemon, served with buttered pav (bread rolls). According to TasteAtlas, "It is mandatory for a true misal to be spicy, while the base needs to be crunchy. Visually, it should look like a work of art, typically red, brown, orange, and green." Often consumed as a breakfast, snack, or brunch, Misal Pav is not just a dish, it's a morning ritual in many Maharashtrian households and eateries. Ranked #23: Paratha- The North Indian Breakfast Essential Coming in at #23, Paratha isn't just a meal, it's an emotion. Whether stuffed with spiced potatoes, cauliflower, paneer, or just plain layered with ghee, parathas are versatile, hearty, and deeply satisfying. A staple in North Indian homes, this dish is often served with yogurt, pickles, and a dollop of butter. What makes parathas special is their adaptability, each region has its own version, from the flaky lachha parathas of Punjab to the thick, crispy variants found in UP and Bihar. Paratha's place in the global breakfast scene is well-earned; it's comfort food at its finest. Ranked #32: Chole Bhature- Delhi's Street Food Superstar At #32, Chole Bhature is as indulgent as breakfast can get. A fluffy, deep-fried bhature served with spicy chickpea curry (chole), it's a beloved dish across North India, especially Delhi. Often eaten on weekends or special occasions, it combines rich flavors and satisfying textures that leave you full, and happy, for hours. It's street food at its most iconic, and its inclusion in the global list reflects just how universally delicious it is. More Indian Favorites in the Extended List While TasteAtlas' Instagram post revealed the top 50, their website featured extended rankings up to 100, with even more Indian dishes making the cut. Dishes like Nihari, Shrikhand, and Palak Paneer proudly represent India's culinary depth and variety in the breakfast space. TasteAtlas has previously recognised Indian breads and curries in their world rankings, and this continued appreciation showcases India's growing influence on the global food map. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TasteAtlas (@tasteatlas) Why This Recognition Matters This isn't just a list, it's a celebration of how Indian cuisine is earning its rightful place on global breakfast tables. These dishes showcase the rich tapestry of Indian flavors, spices, textures, traditions, and stories passed down through generations. In a world where food is increasingly connecting cultures, India's breakfast dishes stand out not just for taste but for the joy and nostalgia they serve with every bite. So next time you dig into a plate of Misal Pav, roll up a hot paratha, or enjoy the spicy-satisfying chaos of Chole Bhature, remember, you're not just eating breakfast, you're experiencing a slice of India that the world has come to admire. Hungry yet? You're not alone.
