    Meaning of the word "Karnadagam" in Tamil

    Friends,

    I have heard the Phrase - Suddha Karnadagam - when we want to point to something as NOT future thinking.
    Wanted to know what is the true meaning of word Karnadagam.
    If someone can pass on info as to how this got associated to State Karnataka would be nice.

    Please flood in with your thoughts on this.

    Thanks,

    Chappu

    AFAIK, it means old-fashioned.

    May be antha kaalathu music = carnatic sangeetham, in mathematical terms music and sangeetham gets striked out, implying antha kaalathu = carnatic (maruvi ya version -> Karnadagam) -> old fashioned

    this is just my assumption......like they say hyder ali kaalathu, british kaalathu, gandhi kaalathu etc.,

    karnaadam to kannadam is a bit of stretch I think....

    something in the meaning of old, ancient, traditional...
    karnataka sanheetham also similarly...

    old days when all the southern states were together, this cud be the name given to some traditional town which later was formed as karnataka...
