Île aux Fouquets (also known as Île au Phare, Lighthouse Island) is an island off the south-east coast of Mauritius.
The island is of pure coral origin and has had Islet National Park status since June 5, 2004. It is located about five kilometers off the south-eastern coast in the vicinity of the islands of Ilot Vacoas and Île de la Passe. South of the islands is the only opening in the coral reef through which larger ships can pass. The size of the Île aux Fouquets is 2.49 hectares. According to the German zoologist Karl August Möbius, the name of the island goes back to a species of tern that bred in caves there and was called fouquet by the fishermen.
Around 1694, refugee Huguenots lived for a few years on the Île aux Fouquets under the direction of the Frenchman François Leguat. They had previously tried to establish a Protestant republic called Eden on the island of Rodrigues, 580 kilometers to the east. However, they broke off the project on the quite fertile island out of loneliness and decided to sail to Mauritius on a self-built barge without anchor and compass. Having safely arrived there, for unknown reasons they came into conflict with the Dutch governor, who banished them to the treeless Île aux Fouquets. Only years later were the men taken from there to the island of Java.
In 1810, not far from the Île aux Fouquets, the naval battle of Grand Port took place, which the French won. A good fifty years later, long after they had conquered Mauritius, the British erected a lighthouse on the island. The building from 1864 is now a ruin but is a listed building. The island offers a good view of the surrounding islands, the coast and the prominent Lion Mountain.

The was a new land development undertaken by a wealthy Osaka merchant, Konoike Zen'emon in mid-Edo Period Japan. It was located in central Kawachi Province in what is now part of the city of Higashiōsaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The well-preserved buildings of the management office of the settlement were designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1976.
Overview In 1704, the Tokugawa shogunate completed a large-scale flood control project which diverted the course of the Yamato River and drained a large lake in what is now the northern portion of Higashiosaka. This resulted in a large tract of land becoming available for paddy fields. A wealthy Osaka merchant, the Konoike family, won a bid for development rights over a 119 hectare area, and settled farmers from afar away as Ise Province on these new lands. The main place of residence for settlers was named Konoikehonmachi, which had many waterways, as the settlers used boats for transportation of the harvested rice to the central warehouse. With the establishment of the modern municipalities system in 1889, the area became part of the village of Kitae in Nakakawachi District Osaka. After World War II, a large portion of the area was transformed into a residential area; however, the 13th generation of the original settlers still farm a portion of the land.
The was completed in 1707 as the management office of the settlement. The office was responsible for the maintenance and repair of fields, waterways, and bridges, collecting taxes and tenant's fees, official registration of households, pensions for the elderly, and providing police and other public services. It was located in a trapezoidal area surrounded by moats and a wall, and contained five buildings: the main office, Warehouses, Library, Granary and Tool Shed. All of these buildings have survived in good condition, and were designated as a National Important Cultural Properties in 1980. They are currently owned and managed by Higashiosaka City and were opened to the public as a museum in 1997. It is about a five-minute walk from Konoikeshinden Station on the JR West Katamachi Line.

The , is an archaeological site with the ruins of a Asuka period Buddhist temple located in the Kawachi neighborhood of the city of Higashiōsaka, Osaka, Japan. The temple no longer exists, but the temple grounds were designated as a National Historic Site in 2008 with the area under protection expanded in 2016
Overview The Kawachi-dera ruins are located on gently sloping ground at an elevation of 20 meters at the western foot of the Ikoma Mountains in the eastern part of Higashiosaka. Immediately to the northwest of the ruins is the Taraike ruins, which is believed to be the Nara period administrative center for Kawachi County. Per archaeological excavations, the foundations for a mid-7th century temple complex with an arrangement of buildings on a south-to-north alignment patterned after Shitennō-ji in Osaka was discovered. The remains of the pagoda foundation, 10.7 meters square and 1.4 meters high was found to be in particularly good condition. Analysis of the excavated roof tiles confirm that the Kondo and cloister date from the middle of the 7th century, and the pagoda from a little later in the 7th century. The temple was abandoned around the end of the Kamakura period, based on a bowl dated to the beginning of the 14th century which was found in the sediment which covered the foundation stones. From historical documentation, is believed that this temple was constructed by an influential toraijin clan, the Kawachi-no-atai, who may have been the same as the "Oshikochi no Kuni no miyatsuko" who ruled ancient Kawachi Province. This area of Kawachi was known to have a large population of settlers from Baekje in late Kofun period into the Asuka period. The temple later became the official temple associated with the county-level administrative center with the developed of the ritsuryo system of local governments in the Nara period.
The site is preserved as an archaeological park, and is about a ten-minute walk from Hyotanyama Station on the Kintetsu Railway Kintetsu Nara Line.

Sources The legend of Chandra Varma is found in four chapters (11 to 14) of the Kaveri Purana which is part of the Skanda Purana.
Kadamba Origin According to Col Wilks, B L Rice and B D Ganapathy, the Coorgs or Kodagus (Kodavas) were Kadambas who were ruled by a leader named Chandra Varma.
Legend Chandra Varma was the fourth son of King Siddartha of Matsyadesha. He led an army and arrived at Brahmagiri hill in Kodagu (Coorg). A devotee of Parvathi, Chandra Varma went on a pilgrimage across peninsular India with his army to Jagannath, Kanchi, Chidambaram, Srirangam, Dhanushkoti, Rameshwaram and Ananthasayana and became the first king of Kodagu.
His sons married the daughters of the king of Vidarbha. Chandra Varma was succeeded as king by his eldest son Devakanta. Legend has it that it was during the lifetime of Devakanta that the river Kaveri originated in Kodagu and flowed through South India. The Kaveri Purana states that Chandra Varma's progeny levelled the land, brought it under cultivation and invited Brahmins and other castes to settle the region.
