Ching shin
Ching Shih, frequently flashed back as the Pirate Queen, was a fabulous figure whose name still resonates with tales of daring exploits and maritime adventure. Born in 1775 in the Guangdong fiefdom of China, her early life was rather ordinary, but fate had other plans for her. She'd rise to come one of the most redoubtable and successful rovers in history, commanding the ignominious Red Flag Fleet and striking fear into the hearts of those who sailed the South China Sea. Ching Shih's trip into pirating began when she crossed paths with Zheng Yi, a notorious corsair who ruled the swell with an forceful fist. In 1801, Zheng Yi captured Ching Shih and made her his woman

Thiruchendur Sura Samharam, also known as the Skanda Sashti jubilee, is a significant religious event celebrated generally in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. This jubilee commemorates the palm of Lord Muruga, also known as Kartikeya or Skanda, over the demon Surapadman. The tale is deeply embedded in Hindu tradition and holds great religious and artistic significance for addicts of Lord Muruga. The legend of Thiruchendur Sura Samharam originates from the Skanda Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas in Hinduism. According to the myth, Surapadman, a important demon, attained a boon from Lord Brahma that made him insurmountable against all beings except the sons of Lord Shiva. Surapadman, fueled by his newfound strength, began wreaking annihilation in the welkin and on earth, hanging the veritably fabric of actuality. In response to the growing chaos, the elysian divinities sought the intervention of Lord Shiva and his consort, Goddess Parvati. Together, they conceived Lord Muruga, the godly legionnaire, with the sole purpose of defeating Surapadman and restoring balance to the macrocosm. Muruga, endowed with extraordinary powers and fortified with godly munitions, embarked on a fierce battle against the demon forces led by Surapadman. The conflict between Lord Muruga and Surapadman is emblematic of the eternal struggle between good and evil, with the former representing righteousness and the ultimate embodying nastiness. The battle is described in pictorial detail in ancient textbooks, depicting the valor and prowess of Muruga as he confronts and overcomes the redoubtable demon army. One of the most dramatic moments of the battle occurs during the Thiruchendur Sura Samharam, where Lord Muruga engages in a final showdown with Surapadman.
