Do you know that the layout of Angkor Wat is aligned with significant astronomical events, particularly the sunrise during the spring equinox.🌞🌅🌇

The temple is designed in such a way that the sun rises directly over its central towers during this time, creating a stunning visual effect.

This alignment is believed to have had symbolic and religious importance for the builders, emphasizing the connection between earthly and cosmic realms.

Back after a while as we had gone to our hometown where we have clicked a piece of heaven!

📍Kovalam Beach is located 14 km southeast of Trivandrum, Kerala 🌊

Kovalam, also known as a “grove of coconut trees,” is a well-liked tourist destination in Kerala due to its vast stretches of coconut trees, expansive beaches, water bodies.

Kovalam is home for Cranes, Crabs and Unique Shells 🐚🦀🦤

👆This Ancient Shiva Temple is from Candi Sambisari near Yogya Karta in Indonesia and was found underground by 'accident' while a farmer was tilling his field which was renowned for giving a very good yield as compared to other farms in the region. 👨‍🌾🔱

The temple is believe to have been a victim of a volcanic eruption of Mount Merapi.🌋

@Rainmaker1973 Just a question: Didn't the Irish eat anything other than Potatoes? Find it hard to believe that the humble potato was the sole reason for a decline in population?

Saw the Property yesterday and while the build quality and layout is good, we cant help but say that the flats are extremely small (2BHK has carpet area of just around 700sq ft) and extremely pricey (97 lakhs).

The Project 'boasts' of 80 % open space however we felt that this could have been reduced to 60% with the balance being used to increase the space of the flats. The Project is in an area quite far from the city and we assume the land parcel would have been cheap. Unfortunate that Sobha Developers didn't transmit the lower cost of land to the end consumer. Would have happily paid the price if the rooms were more practical in terms of size. At this point of time, It doesn't make sense paying this kind of money to stay in a small flat far away from the City. #SobhaDreamGardens #realestatemarket #Bengaluru

Located in southern Karnataka bordering Kerala in Chamarajanagar District, Gundlupet is home to sunflower fields as far as the eye can see. 😃Gundlupet is near other tourist spots like Bandipur National Park, Kodagu and Ooty. 🧳🚘 🌻

📍Kedarnath is situated in the Garhwal Himalayas near Mandakini River 🌊

Do you know the importance of Mandakini River?

It is believed that the Mandakini River originated from the waters that flowed from Lord Shiva's hair.🔱

The Mandakini River, originating from the sacred locks of Lord Shiva, is considered holy by Hindus. Pilgrims visiting Kedarnath often take ritualistic dips in the Mandakini River as a part of their religious practices. 🛕

Hare Krishna!🪈🦚

A very divine picture of Krishna and a Cow.😇

Please do visit your nearest Goshala at least once and do Gau Seva to release you from your sins.

By serving cows with love and care, we not only catch the attention of Lord Krishna but also please Him. Krishna is especially delighted by any effort made to serve cows, and He never forgets those who benefit cows. 🕉️

This is a story about a meeting between Bhima and Hanuman. 📖

While the Pandavas were in exile, Bhima once went into a forest in the Himalayas searching for scented flowers for Draupadi. 🌺🌺🌷🗻

While searching the forest, he encountered a Monkey lying on the floor blocking his path. The Monkey advised him that the path ahead was not for mere mortals as it lead upto heaven and that he should return to where he came from. 🫷🚫

However this angered Bhima who exalted that he was the son of Vayu Deva and Kunti. Bhima then told him the history of how the Pandavas were exiled to the forest. 🌲🌳🌴

He also informed the monkey that at the present moment they were waiting for the return of their brother Arjuna from Kailash where he had to gone to worship Lord Shiva and get weapons as a boon.🔱🏹

The Monkey calmly heard him but advised him to return where he came from and if he really wanted to proceed then he would need to move his tail out of the way.

Assured of his prowess, and smiling, Bhima approached the tail, and with his left hand he tried to move the tail as if it were a twig on the ground, but the tail would not move. 🪢

He tried with both hands, but still he could not lift the tail. He tried again and again, but still he could not budge the tail so much as an inch. The monkey was smiling in amusement, which only increased Bhima’s anger.🥵👹

Bhima tried repeatedly to lift the monkey’s tail till his face was completely red, his eyebrows tightened, his eyes rolled, his face was contracted in wrinkles, and his body was covered with sweat. 🥵🥵

Finally, Bhima had to admit his defeat and apologized to the Monkey after realizing that he was actually his brother Lord Hanuman himself. 😇😇

Doing good without expecting anything in return is important for personal well-being, community development, and the creation of a more compassionate and interconnected society.

It establishes a positive cycle that benefits individuals and the community as a whole. 👩‍👩‍👦‍👦😇

Actually Lord Sri Krishna in Bhagavad-Gita communicates the right way of living. Today we see that though humanity is developing, there is always a lack of satisfaction and happiness. 😇🌞

Today, most people are educated and know how to earn money but they lack the right way of living and thus eventually reduces happiness and self-satisfaction. 📖

Our heritage is one to be really proud of! Even the floors in the picture have carvings on them. 👆Wish we knew how these feats were achieved.

https://t.co/UjHNCFYtOq

Similar beautiful carvings can be found in the Belur Temple of Karnataka that also has secrets of ancient knowledge to share with us!

[Nomadic Diaries @Xpresso2023]

📍Belur, Karnataka
Most of the carvings that we find in ancient temples are not purely for aesthetics, but if we observe carefully these designs appear to have a scientific background🤔📖

Don't you think this appears like a DNA?🧬🤔

@Rainmaker1973 I wonder why is the dolphin trying to dry itself for a second before falling back into the water🤔🐬🌊

Seems Familiar 🤔

[Nomadic Diaries @Xpresso2023]

@Rainmaker1973 Simplest solution is to just reverse a video of the corn flakes making process 🤣😅😋🥣🍚⏪📹

@Rainmaker1973 Do you know that your body has enough carbon to make about 900 pencils? 🤯✏️✏️....

Also there is enough potassium in your body to explode if it were isolated. 💣🔥

@Rainmaker1973 📍Another Mesmerizing blue bird that is found in India
- The Indian Roller

[Nomadic Diaries @Xpresso2023]

Feeling lucky to spot this unique bird and take a snap of it 😇😍

Do you know which bird this is? 🪺

This is an 'Indian Roller' , a brightly colored bird with various shades of blue on the wings, tails, and belly that are often more prominent in flight. 🪶🐦

They are often seen along roadside trees, electric wires and in open grasslands. 🌲🎋

📍I think this is Gangaikonda Cholapuram Brihadeeshwara Temple in Tanjore which is dedicated to Mahadev .🛕 🔱 🕉️

The Temple's main attraction is its towering Vimana that reaches a height of 66 meters. The dome is constructed from a single Granite block weighing around 80 tons making it one of the heaviest in the world. 🤯🛕

The Vimana here never casts a shadow at noon during any time of the year which is testament to the advanced understanding of astronomy and mathematics by Chola Architects. 🛕☀️🪐
