Oldest accurately dated Banyan found in Munger, Bihar
A banyan tree in Munger, Bihar, estimated to be around 700 years old, has been identified as the oldest accurately dated banyan tree, Ficus benghalensis, using radiocarbon dating, a method that relies exclusively on scientific evidence rather than historical records or local lore
Banyan trees, with their intricate root and branch networks, provide habitats for a variety of wildlife, including birds and insects. They have also played a significant role in Indian social and cultural life for centuries

Not really. I'm currently in Patna and the famous Hanuman Mandir (just outside the railway station) has been being run by an independent Trust for decades without any scam or major controversy. In fact, the trust managing the temple has only expanded its activities and runs various schools and hospitals in Patna.
The biggest Hindu temple in the world, currently under construction in Champaran, Bihar, will also be managed by the same trust. Incidentally, this trust was one of the first major donors to Ayodhya Ram Temple, and Late Acharya Kunal, the founder of the trust, played an important role in the court proceedings too.
I’m sure there would be many other examples. While ‘one size fits all’ solution is elusive, and possibly will always remain elusive for ‘free the temple’ movement, there is not major setback, I think. Actually, first let it be a ‘movement’, it’s just an idea as of now.
If you never dated in college and never got your heart broken, life will hit differently later.
Heartbreak in your younger years teaches you things no classroom ever can how people change, how attachment works, how pain feels, how to handle rejection, and how to grow from it.
It sounds weird, but it is what it is
My lab at @Stanford is looking to hire postdocs for multiple projects on cancer biology and therapeutics. Our recent work has uncovered some truly remarkable mechanisms for cytotoxic small molecules and we're looking to build on this research. If interested, see below:
