Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract A second wave in the Hindu diaspora occurred in the second half of the twentieth century when individual professionals and others settled in Europe and North America and began to build very elaborate temples. One of the most elaborate of these temples is the Ganesh Temple of Toronto, which was built on a model laid out by the Sankaracarya of Kancipuram with separate shrines for different Vaisnava and Saiva deities within one building. The temple management has tried to emulate exactly the Indian celebration of the Vision of Grace festival for Sivan Natarajan in the month of Markali. The celebration is an elegant bath or abhiseka and includes an otuvar singer adopting the persona of the saint Manikkavacakar so that he can sing the hymns to Sivan Natarajan. While in India the tuvar singers are boys who learn from childhood and virtually all come from one caste, in Sri Lanka, where most of the Canadian worshipers are from, women are often the best‐trained singers. In the end, the Toronto festival was a compromise with an elderly male tuvar perfoming the ritual and a Sri Lankan lady doing most of the singing.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
