Talk:Bhadrachala Ramadasu

Requested move 14 May 2020

• Bhadrachala Ramadasu → Ramadasu
• Ramadasu → Ramadasu (1964 film)

– Ramadasu as a person is certainly more popular than a film which released half a century ago. Therefore Ramadasu should be the primary title for the person's aricle and film may be referred as Ramadasu (1964 film) Ab207 (talk) 08:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Sceptre (talk) 07:13, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose since "popular" is not a criterion for primarytopic. Dicklyon (talk) 05:29, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

  @Dicklyon: I think I have not made it clear. Ramadasu (1964 film) is a film based on the life of Bhadrachala Ramadasu. The person is credidted for buidling Sita Ramachandraswamy temple, Bhadrachalam which is visited by thousands of pilgrims every day. The film itself has no independent identity. Its like Gandhi (film) which is based on Gandhi.--Ab207 (talk) 19:12, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Kancharla Gopanna (Telugu: కంచర్ల గోపన్న) (c. 1620 – 1688), popularly known as Bhakta Ramadasu or Bhadrachala Ramadasu (Telugu: భద్రాచల రామదాసు), was a 17th-century devotee of the Hindu god Rama, a saint-poet and a composer of Carnatic music. He is a famous Vaggeyakara (classical composer)[a] from the Telugu classical era. He was born in the village of Nelakondapalli in Khammam district, and orphaned as a teenager. He spent his later years in Bhadrachalam and 12 years in solitary confinement at the Golconda prison during the Qutb Shahi-rule. Different mythical stories about his life circulate in the Telugu tradition. He is renowned for constructing the famous Sita Ramachandraswamy Temple and pilgrimage center on the banks of river Godavari at Bhadrachalam. His devotional kirtana lyrics to Rama illustrate the classical Pallavi, Anupallavi and Caranam genre composed mostly in Telugu, some in Sanskrit and with occasional use of Tamil language. These are famous in South Indian classical music as Ramadaasu Keertanalu.[citation needed] 2405:201:C017:900D:E951:537C:6C56:75CA (talk) 10:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
