Mangalore, March 7: The Beary language movie 'Byari' has bagged the National Award for the Best Film at the 59th National Film Awards 2011 in New Delhi on Wednesday.

'Beary' has shared the prestigious award with Marathi movie 'Deool', produced by Abhijeet Gholap and directed by Umesh Vinayak Kulkarni.

The first ever feature film in Beary dialect 'Byari', produced by Mangalore based T H Althaf Hussain and directed by Suveeran, was released in June 2011.

Kasaragod, Feb 17: A Kerala Muslim couple conducted the wedding of their Hindu foster daughter at a Bhagavathi temple in Kerala, scripting another tale of communal harmony at Kasaragod.

The wedding ceremony was held on Sunday.

The woman Rajeshwari tied the knot with Vishnu Prasad in the presence of family and friends belonging to both Hindu and Muslim communities.

Abdulla and Khadeeja adopted Rajeshwari after her father who worked at Abdulla's farm died. Rajeshwari's mother also passed away when she was a child.

Rajeshwari grew up alongside Abdulla and Khadeeja's three sons- Shameem, Najeeb and Shereef.

Earlier in January this year, cutting across the lines of religion, a mosque in Kerala's Kayamkulam hosted a Hindu marriage ceremony.
