😳WHY❓❓❓

==========================

Scientific Reason: Why do most of the Indians draw Rangoli in front of their houses⁉


There is a separate field of science called Cymatics which deals with the relationship between vibrations and the geometric patterns corresponding to it.


The Cymatic patterns look nothing like the rangoli patterns.


Rangoli is not just an art but actually a science of vibration pattern which was discovered by Indians thousands of years ago and been made a part of the culture for spiritual, aesthetic & scientific purposes.  The reason a rangoli is drawn at the entrance of a house is because of its calming effect on a visitor who is just about to enter into the house. It manifests into vibrations (brainwaves) in the visitor's mind, putting him at ease, making him comfortable and happy.


Other reason is  in ancient times , our ancestor used make rangoli with rice flours in front of house so that ants and other insects eat and will use stay outside the house and do not enter house(reports say ants die after eating rice) so other creatures like snakes, lizards, frogs  etc never get into the house...🙏🏻

 🤔 HOW IT WORKS ⁉ =========================

 How SILVER Forms 


Within the Earth, silver is formed from sulfur compounds. In the Earth's crust, the temperature is very hot (approximately 200 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on how close you are to the planet's mantle). The salt water that exists within the crust concentrates into a brine solution where silver remains dissolved.


Silver is sometimes encountered in pure form. It also is mined from the minerals acanthite (silver sulfide) and stephanite. Silver also is found in the common minerals chlorargyrite (silver chloride) and polybasite. Silver is mined in many countries, but most comes from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia.


Silver is found in lead, zinc, gold and copper ore deposits. The most important ore mineral of silver is argentite (Ag2S, silver sulfide). Silver is commonly extracted from ore by smelting or chemical leaching.

🛕 VEDIK GYAN 

(Data is collected from the Internet, in case if actual facts are differentiate plz kindly inform.....🙏🏻) ==========================

The most shocking fact about Konarak sun temple. The temple which is around 800 years old, but never ever happened worship in the temple.  1200 workers (stone carving workers) worked for 12year to build the Konarak sun temple with chief architect Bishu Maharana. Temple which total area covered across 12 acres on the command of king Narsimbhadeva 1. The Konarak temple which was in the carcass of a  chariot was built of stone which was brought from hills of Kadamgiri and Uday Giri about 100 kilometers away from kinaro.


It was a great engineering masterpiece where the entire structure was built of stone and they were interlocked by metals. The entire metal skeleton was held together by a huge magnet which was more than 5 tons in weight. The ancient story said that the idol of the sun god was made of Astadhatu (an alloy of 8 metals) this was suspended in mid-air balance by the magnet.


The temple was completed in time except for the crown stone which is Dadhinauti. There was some problems occurring while the workers were trying to install dadhi nanti and it used to fall down all hence they were not able to complete the work. King became angry that they not completed the work in time, he decided to behead the 1200 workers along with the chief architect Bishu maharana. 


He was depressed and sat down, suddenly he saw a young boy around 12-year-old coming in search of him. the boy's name was dharma pada. The boy came and told bishu maharana that he was his son bishu maharana was shocked because he had never seen his son since his son was 12 years old and all this while he was there busy in the work of the temple. The 12-year-old boy dharmapada surprise everyone by giving idea for installing the dadhi nathi and the problem in hand was solved.


But everybody started discussing that if king Narsimbhadeva 1 gets to know that a 12-year-old boy was the person responsible for this success of the work rather than the 1200 experienced workers than anyway the king would kill them all.

So the dharmapada decided to sacrifice his life by kampung from the top of the temple in the chandrabhava river and save the 1200 workers from getting beheaded.

        

Since that time the temple become unholy with the death of dharmapada. Sun god never worshipped there. The myth says that Dharmapada was an avatar of the sun god who comes to break the ego of the king.
