The Cultural Legacy of the Telugu Nayaks of Tanjore The Nayaka Kings of Tanjore contributed many Telugu Yakshganas, Dvipadas, Gitas and etc. They also patronised many Telugu poets and literatures. The Nayaka rule of Tanjore started with Pinacevappa Nayaka. The Nayaks were initially viceroys under the Vijayanagar Empire. The battle of Talikota in 1565, which resulted in the end of the Vijayanagar Empire, also saw the Nayaks form their own kingdoms in Tanjore and Madurai. The cultural arts in Tanjore, which bloomed during the reign of the Cholas, grew further due to the encouragement of the Nayaks. The Nayaks were deeply influenced by the traditions of Vijayanagar and this in turn made them patrons of culture. They encouraged the development of Telugu literature in Tanjore, a Tamil region. Many Telugu artists in literature dance and music had made Tanjore their home. The Nayak rulers, starting with Acyutappa a followed by Raghunatha Nayaka and Vijayaraghava Nayaka, who were credited with many compositions in music and dance, encouraged the growth of Sanskrit and Telugu literature. Telugu Yakshaganas, a type of dance dramas was popular during the Nayaka period. Acyutappa Nayaka, who ruled from 1560 AD to 1600 AD, was the first ruler from the Nayaka dynasty who was a patron of learning and arts. He was said to have gifted the village of Melattur to five hundred Brahmin families to atone for having consumed a betel leaf with his left hand. Melattur grew up to be a place famous

  • A Very Brief History Of The Anasazi Culture

    472 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Anasazi people’s culture has fascinated archaeologists for many years, since there is very little knowledge of the society. The goal of actually finding any more information is unlikely to be conceived, seeing as what there is to know about these wonderful peoples, is mostly gone. The most significant part of identifying the Anasazi would undoubtedly be their cliff dwellings. The Anasazi as we know them today were actually a group of peoples who lived in the same general area of each other and were known for their pueblo architecture, their great skill at basket weaving, and their ingenuitive use of the land around them to farm and create tools.

The group living in the region is a pastoralism/early agriculture-based society, needing to grow food and collect supplies to prepare and cultivate their crops. It has been well documented that the transition into agriculture was very hard on humans as a whole, all around the world, and this would have been no different living where the Khina people lived. While little formal and recent archaeological excavations have been done in the area, the ethnographic record with recorded accounts from around the 1920s is extensive and provides a lot of information about what could be expected in an excavation of the area

  • Similarities And Differences To The Nacirema Culture

    When professor Linton brought forth the attention of anthropologists to the Nacirema culture there was a lot of things about their traditions that were different than that of our own, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t also some similarities as well. As crude and vastly spiritual these people are it is rather impressive that they managed to survive for as long as they did living their rather extreme lifestyle. The people back then also had different social classes like we do now, they also had what we call surgeons to fix their imperfections, and they also have the same kind of cleanliness as we do when it comes down to our bodies. Some differences would be in their rituals we don’t go to those extremes to make sure we are okay spiritually. We also don’t believe that if we don’t take care of our teeth no one will love us.
