Historical Hindu Temple- Padmanabha Swamy Temple

Dear Friends
Happy Evening
Sharing the Photo of the Day
Our country has a rich cultural heritage.
Our ancient Hindu Temples are known for the engineering marvels
Padmanabhaswamy Temple is located in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. 
The temple is built in an intricate fusion of the indigenous Kerala style 
and the Tamil style and a 16th-century Gopuram.
It is a seven storey tower with a pair of windows exactly in the middle.
On equinoxes the sun sets passing exactly through each of the 
windows in roughly 5 minutes interval.On equinoxes,
the sun rises and sets exactly in the east and west respectively.
To see the sun setting,the tower is constructed exactly 
at right angle to the east west line,a feat requiring high engineering skill.
On other days the setting sun is blocked out from our view by the tower.
Kind Regards

❤Dear Friends❤ 🌻I wish you a very Happy Night🌻   💚In the fast changing world, we interact with people face to face, through email or phone or through any social media platform.💚   💙When we interact, it is normal we may like some, we may judge some and we may not like a few.💙   💚When we don’t like some people, behavioural scientists are telling that our mind is biased about a few. They also say that our mind is negative and not willing to accept others. Biased mind will lead to prejudice and other mental problems.💚   💙We are not able to see the good in others because our heart is not open to understand their points of view.  Our mind is closed too and it is moving in the single track.💙   💚Our mind is not trained to think the way others want.  Closed mind set is not good for building strong human bondage. So we need to change and transform.💚   💙If we want to progress, we need to be positive with a growth mindset. Before judg...

😍Dear Friends😍 🌹Happy Evening🌹   🧡“The man who has no imagination has no wings” Mohammed Ali🧡 💚Our life is limited because of the lack of imagination. Imagination is the key to productive life.  Children have tremendous imagination power. They have very good memory power💚 💙Adults cannot imagine the way children imagine. So we stop dreaming.  So we don’t progress. Imagination is the foundation for innovation Knowledge has grown vast because of imagination of few great scientists and thinkers.💙 💙Our growth and progress will get stopped if we limit our imagination. Greater the power of imagination, greater is the ability to solve the problems of life. Our imagination motivates us to move towards our dreams. If we don’t have imagination, we cannot realize our dreams.💙 💜Scientists and great thinkers have high imagination. Therefore, they are able to put forth theories, postulates, principles and great thoughts...
