Trivikrama Mahadeva
''Trivikrama'' Mahadeva ((カンナダ語:ತ್ರಿವಿಕ್ರಮ ಮಹಾದೇವ)) is the name of an undertaker in the city of Bangalore, India who ferries unclaimed bodies and organizes their funeral. He has so far organized funeral of over 42,000 human bodies.〔Mahadeva being awarded for his service in organizing funeral for many bodies is mentioned by 〕 In November 1999, he was awarded the Chief Minister's Gold Medal by the Chief Minister of Karnataka, S. M. Krishna.〔A biography of Mahadeva is presented by 〕
==Early life==
Mahadeva was born in a village near the town of Nanjangud in the Mysore district of Karnataka.〔A narrative by Mahadeva is published by (【引用サイトリンク】title=A child that became a public undertaker )〕 His mother left her home village, taking her young son with her, following an unknown insult when Mahadeva was about 4.〔 When he was about 7 and living in the town of Chamarajanagar, his mother fell seriously ill and the doctors suggested that she should be admitted to a hospital in Bangalore, a journey which took four years and was financed by selling bits of Mahadeva's mother's jewelry. Once in Bangalore, the pair spent some days outside of Victoria Hospital, not knowing the procedure to get admitted until they elicited the help of a ward orderly by giving him the rest of the jewelry.〔 The medical attention, however, proved insufficient and Mahadeva's mother died soon after being admitted, a fact which only became known to Mahadeva two weeks later. After waiting the customary 3 days for someone to claim the body, the hospital undertaker had buried Mahadeva's mother's body.〔 Since Mahadeva had lost his mother, the people around raised about Rs. 12 to send him back to his village. But Mahadeva refused to go back and instead decided to stay with the undertaker. Mahadeva fondly started to call the man ''Thatha'' (which means grandpa in Kannada), a relationship which led him to his present career.〔
By the age of 12, Mahadeva had started to ferry 3 or 4 bodies at a time on a cart to the burial ground on Mysore Road. When he decided to marry a girl named Pushpalatha, his future father-in-law demanded Rs. 2000 as bride money, which was a huge sum for Mahadeva to raise but after saving money and with the help of well-wishers he collected the required sum and married Pushpalatha.
