When Maadevaraya and Bhagirathi fall in love, class differences come in the way. But when they decide to end their lives, Mallanagowda is moved to solemnise their marriage on the tank's site.

Awards
gollark: If someone looks up "bee deployment methodology", then it needs to be able to search for those words together and not just a document containing "bee", "deployment" and "methodology".
gollark: No, it's for nearness queries in documents.
gollark: I picked it because cooler™ and there were too many Rust bloom filter libraries.
gollark: It's an "xor filter", which is a new thing which is apparently mildly more space efficient than Bloom filters but slower to construct.
gollark: It's an inverted index thingoid. Each term has a compressed bitmap of document IDs. Each document lists the terms in it and their count, and has a probabilistic filter thing for nearness queries.
