"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Ⓝⓐⓥⓔⓔⓝ Ⓚⓤⓜⓐⓡ 🇮🇳 *FACTS ABOUT BHARAT* 🇮🇳 ======================= *INDRAPRASTHA* is the old name of Delhi. According to the Great Epic Mahabharata, King Dhritarashtra gave a barren island to Pandavas. The Pandavas made a very beautiful castle and the city and name the place as *Indraprastha* . The Purana Quila in Delhi is believed to be the palace of Pandavas.  In 1192 the legions of the Afghan Muhammad of Ghori captured the Rajput town, Ghori attacked Delhi 17 times was defeated 16 times at the hands of Prithviraj Chauhan.  Due to lack support from Indian kings, Pritviraj was defeated and was brutally killed by Ghori.

When all the intelligent students are unable to solve it, she calls Chintu.   Chintu gets up and erases the board. Teacher: What's this?😳🙄 Chintu: Ma'm, problem solved🤪 ======================= 😳 *WHY❓❓❓* ======================= *Why are airplanes usually painted white?*  ✈️🛫🛬🛩️🚀 The main reason why aircraft are painted white or light colours is to reflect sunlight. Other colours will absorb most of the light. This is crucial as when sunlight is absorbed by an aircraft, this heats up the body of an airplane. Painting a passenger plane white minimises both the heating and potential damage from solar radiation not only when the airplane is in flight, but also when it’s parked on the runway. When flying at high altitudes, airplanes are completely exposed to various atmospheric conditions. Coloured aircraft tend to fade over time, and thus require repainting to maintain their aesthetic appeal.  Aside from the fact that paint adds significant weight to an aircraft –meaning more fuel is burned. White exteriors can enhance aircraft visibility and potentially increase its detection and avoidance by birds strike. ====================== *LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻 ======================= *लाभानां श्रेय आरोग्यं सुखानां तुष्टिरुत्तमा* ॥ -   Source - Mahabharat vanparva dhānyānāmuttamaṃ dākṣyaṃ dhanānāmuttamaṃ śrutam । lābhānāṃ śrēya ārōgyaṃ sukhānāṃ tuṣṭiruttamā ॥ *Meaning* : Skill is superior to material things knowledge is superior to wealth.

Since they have a cooling effect, they are offered to the Shivalinga to soothe this hot-tempered deity. The three segments of Bel leaf symbolically represents the three Gunas i.e. Tamas (physical body), Rajas (emotions) and satvic (intellect). The proportion of satvic component is more, hence the bel leaf has more capacity to absorb and emit satvic frequencies.  According to Brihaddharma Purana says Lakshmi prayed to Shiva every day and offered him 10,000 lotus buds. One day she fell short by two buds.  Remembering that Vishnu had compared her breasts to lotus buds, she cut one off and offered it humbly. Before she could cut the other, Shiva, pleased with her, stopped her. Her cut breast became the fruit of the bel.Bhavishya Purana says after the samudra manthan, Lakshmi, emerged from the ocean on the ninth day of Bhadra and rested on the bel tree, so the bel is worshipped every year on that day. ======================= 🧬 *HEALTH CARE: HOME REMEDIES*🩺 ( *Note* : These home tips followed in villages/ancient traditions, it is up to you to use it or not🙏🏻) ====================== *Benefits of Cloves**  Cloves are replete with powerful antioxidants that help fight free radical damage and boost our immunity.
