Kalachuchi is known in several different parts of the world for varied reasons. In the Philippines, Kalachuchi is associated with death. In some parts of America, it is known as "dead man's flower." In Thailand people believed that kaluchuchi brings unhappiness. Kalachuchi is also the national flower of Laos and Nicaragua. =)

Though it cannot be evidenced that this was something to do with Ramayana or not however considering the quality and details included in Ramayana it is very likely that author of Ramayana had seen some sort of connection between two which looks like bridge and that's why he would have included this in his books.\n\nSome Hindu groups claim that the bridge is evidence that events narrated in the Ramayana epic actually took place and cite NASA's imagery of it as proof of their claims. NASA has distanced itself from such claims:\n\n"The images [...] may be ours, but their interpretation is certainly not ours. [...] Remote sensing images or photographs from orbit cannot provide direct information about the origin or age of a chain of islands, and certainly cannot determine whether humans were involved in producing any of the patterns seen."\n\n\nArcheological studies of the bridge are ongoing, and some archeologists claim to have found evidence suggesting that the bridge is man-made. For instance, some researchers from Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, announced that the "bridge" is only 3,500 years old.\n\nSea levels rose about 10 or 20 metres in the 6th millennium BCE to reach levels similar to today, so in 6000 BCE the bridge would have been an isthmus situated above sea level. As such, it almost certainly would have been a viable route for humans to have reached Sri Lanka by dry land.

There is nothing scientific behind this. Let me explain completely.\nOn January 14th Jewels from Pandhalam (It is the place of a king who got lord Ayyappa from the forest) will reach sabarimala. Once they decorate lord Ayyappa with the jewels they will do aarthi around 6:40 pm (It will happen exactly between 6:30 pm and 6:45 pm) In the same time they will do pooja to the Ayyappa's Chakra at Kanthamalai (The mountain from where the light appears) and aarthi with a big plate. They go around the Chakra place for 3 times. If you watch you will see the light appearing 3 times. Nothing scientific in this.

It seems to be a toss up between ancient Hindu scripture or some of the earliest Egyptian writings like the book of the dead.\n\nThe Hindu stuff is fascinating. It sounds like the same things that the quantum physics guys are saying. Makes you wonder how the Hindus knew this stuff 4000 years ago.\n\nLove and blessings Don

I'm an old timer who got interested in Sri Lank forty years ago. I was fascinated by the Kandy Empire, the legend of Adam's peak, the singing shellfish at Lake Batticaloa, the construction of the ancient tanks among many other things. I read a book that I still find interesting called "Jungle Tide". I forget the author's name but he must have written it during the British occupation as he was English. I am sure there are many other fascinating archaeological and educational opportunities in your country, which, I regret, I never did visit. Still, after 40 years, my interest has been retained by what I read. My very best wishes with your project.

The land of Varanasi (Kashi) has been an ultimate pilgrimage spot for Hindus for ages. Often referred to as Benares, Varanasi is the oldest living city in the world and as Mark Twain said, "Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together"\n\nNo-one knows

It is a huge question, but in general you would want to check paleoclimatology (for example, glaciation of Antarctica after opening of Drake and Tasmania passages), paleontology/biogeography (distribution of fossils and ancient migration of various animal groups).\n\nThere is a page with lecture notes which is very shorthand but touches on most things you may want to check:\nhttp://jersey.uoregon.edu/~mstrick/RogueComCollege/RCC_Lectures/ConDrift_PlateTec.html\n\nAnother link that touches on the subject:\nhttp://pgap.uchicago.edu/PGAP2000-1.html
