What I say comes true, this is not a case of caste-based harassment but rather of being involved in the corruption of IPS and the fear of arrest, today ASI Sandeep Lather, who was posted with IG Puran Singh, has committed suicide. And in the suicide note it was written "IPS Puran Singh was a highly corrupt man, he used to harass everyone for money, he troubled me a lot too, today by giving my life I want an investigation into his corruption and action against his wife, he stated that SP Rohtak and DGP were very honest, I was hurt by their removal under political pressure, therefore I am becoming a martyr". I repeatedly tell leaders to stop looking at everything from a caste angle and stop doing vote bank politics. In this entire matter, Puran Singh and his wife should be investigated because it is not possible that wife Amneet Kumar is not involved in Puran Singh's corruption-Swami Anand Swarup #puranSingh #AmneetKumar #scrolllink

🔬 In a landmark experiment, researchers have achieved the fastest-ever detection of a single electron, capturing its presence within 6 trillionths of a second in a gallium arsenide semiconductor. By injecting two electrons from separate sites and monitoring their near-instantaneous electric repulsion as they approached, scientists at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory used one electron’s deflection to pinpoint the other. This exceptional temporal resolution is roughly 100 times quicker than previous methods, moving us closer to building devices that manipulate single electrons at the speed of quantum interactions. Conventional electronics rely on vast flows of many electrons, but controlling single-electron events in real time could make devices much faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient—while also directly tapping the quantum nature of electrons. The approach depends on exquisitely controlled electron pumps and sensors, hinting at the possibility of future quantum technologies as compact as a microchip. T he achievement provides an essential building block for advances in quantum communication and computing, and could even allow improvement in the fundamental definitions of electric current by employing quantum standards. What makes this finding unique is its ability to probe the fleeting, ultrafast interactions that underlie all electrical currents—a regime where quantum behavior dominates. Researchers now hope to use this capability to unlock deeper insights into the quantum world, accelerating progress toward devices and measurements unimaginable just a decade ago. 📄 RESEARCH PAPER 📌 Masaya Kataoka et al, "Single-electron detection on a picosecond timescale", Physical Review Letters (2025) — in New York, NY, United States. #science #scrolllink

Rani Ki Vav at Patan, Gujarat also known as Queen's Stepwell Rani Ki Vav, Patan Queen's Stepwell, A UNESCO World Heritage Site Patan is a district in the state of Gujarat, located at 125kms distance from Ahmedabad. Patan was once the capital of the state in historic times located on the banks of the (lost) Saraswati River. Nestled in the hustle and bustle of the city Patan, lies an “Architectural Wonder” – Rani Ki Vav. It is also known as “Rani Ni Vav” in Gujarati local dialect. This is a 7 storeyed Magnificent Stepwell, which is built using scientific principles for storing water. Back in 11th century, Udaymati, Queen of the King Bhimadev I from Solanki(Chalukya) Dynasty, expressed her desire to build a stepwell. This stepwell, she ordered to build is in the memory of her beloved husband. Rani ki Vav is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in India. The new ₹100 rupee currency note has a picture of this stepwell. Let’s have a visual tour of Stepwell As you walk towards this site, it doesn’t appeal very much. Just a compound wall and some—Well Kept—landscaping work is done around it. The more you approach it, the more it starts appealing. When you reach the main entrance, the Jaw-Dropping view absorbs you in it. Perspective steps going deep down towards the well-shaft are accompanied by intricately carved idols of gods and goddesses. Each idol is as magnificent as if they are living things. The far end is of this stepwell—which is a well-shaft—is not even clearly visible from the first step. Constructional Aspects Rani ki Vav was constructed as a religious as well as a functional structure. The expanse of this stepwell is roughly 1610 sq.m. and 70m length from the base of Toran—Sacred Gateway—to the inner edge of well-shaft. Its 23m in width and 28m in depth. Rani Ki Vav is constructed like an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water. It is built on the East-West axis, “Step-Corridor” being in the east and “Well” on the west. Ceremonial Entrance (Toran Dwaar) The first architectural object you see as you step down, is the remains of a pillar base. This evidently confirms the presence of Toran Dwaar – A Ceremonial Entrance. In 19th century, a survey was conducted for Rani Ki Vav. James Burgess and Henry Cousens were two archeologists who had mentioned about these pillars in the survey. The Toran was comprised of 2 freely standing pillars, which were connected by an ornate arch at their upper sections. Towards the west side from this entrance, downward leading steps make a way to the edge of the well. Ceremonial Entrance (Toran Dwaar)Ceremonial Entrance (Toran Dwaar) Architecture and Decorative Work Rani ki vav is a seven storeyed and inverted temple like structure. It has 4 pavilions downwards from east to west and then lastly a Well Shaft. Below is a picture taken from first pavellion. You can see other 3 Pavilions as well. Rani ki Vav is a Maru-Gurjara style architecture. A style of “temple architecure” which is originated from the Gujarat & Rajasthan in historic times. All the 7 levels were open for public and tourists were able to go down to the well. Then there was a powerful earthquake in Bhuj which rocked the state of Gujarat in 2001. After this earchquake, out of 7 levels, only 4 levels are left open for public to ensure the safety & security. There is a great diversity of themes: Divine Figures: Devi or Goddess, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha in their respective incarnations and form Sacred & Mythical Representation Figures: Dikpalas, Sacred flora and fauna, Apsara, Nagkanya, Vasus and scenes from epics Reflection of Contemporary Society Buddha, Kalki and Mahishasurmardini sculptureFrom left Buddha, Kalki and Mahishasurmardini Sculpture Mahishasurmardini is one of the forms of a goddess “Durga” who is killing a demon called Mahishasur. MahishasurmardiniMahishasurmardini Sculptures in Rani ki Vav are displayed in a pattern, where main deities are displayed in niches. These main deities are flanked by semi divine figures like Apsaras, Nagkanya, Dikpalas and Yogini.& Sheshshayi Vishnu Sculpture During medieval times in Gujarat, there was a tradition of installing “A Sheshshayi Vishnu” sculpture inside the Stepwell, Kunda or Temples. Which you can see in Modhera Sun Temple as well. Sheshshayi Vishnu is represented in 3 successive niches in 3 levels on the rear wall of the Well Shaft. One between the first and second pavillion on the niche of the north wall. In addition to this, out of 24 forms of the lord Vishnu, following forms are present in Rani ki Vav: Keshava, Narayana, Govinda, Vishnu, Trivikrama, Vamana, Sridhara, Padmanabha, Damodar, Samkarsana, Aniruddha, Purusottama, Narsimha, Hari. Moreover 10 famous incarnations are also represented. But among those 10 incarnations; Varah, Narsimha, Vaman, Parshuram, Ram, Balram, Buddha and Kalki (future incarnation at the end of Kaliyug) are clearly identified in Rani ki Vav. Buddha is shown as an incarnation of the lord Vishnu here. A Bhairav—fierce form of the lord Shiv—is represented in a dancing pose here. If you take a closer look down on his right side, the dog is snatching a piece from the decapitated corpse. Licking the blood oozing from the freshly cut head that Bhairava is holding in his hand. Vishnu On Left and Bhairav on rightVishnu On the Left and Bhairav on the Right Brahma, Mahesh & Vishnu With Their Consort When you reach near the well (at 4th pavillion) you can see the panel of “Brahma, Mahesh & Vishnu with Their Consort”. The Top left side of front wall is decorated with the idols of Tridev(Ttriple deity of Supreme Divinity in Hinduism). Their Vahan is also present near each of them, Swan, Bull and Garuda respectively. Front wall sculptures from bottom levelFront wall sculptures at base level Brahma Mahesh and Vishnu with their consortsBrahma Mahesh & Vishnu With Their Consort On the Top-Right side of the front wall, you can see Ganesh with his Consort and then Maha-Lakshmi and Kuber idols are also present. These three are considered as Gods of Luck. Other Sculptures in Rani ki Vav Dikpals (Guardians of Eight Directions) also appear on the walls of Rani ki Vav. 8 Vasus are present on the walls with human body and Cow head in folded hands (Namaskar position). Nav graha are represented in a complete set, over Sheshshayi Vishnu on the Well Shaft. Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mercury (Budha also known as Grahpati), Venus (Shukra), Mars (Mangal), Jupiter (Brihaspati), Saturn (Shani), Rahu and Ketu constitute Nine Planets called Nav Graha. Dikpal - Guardian of directionDikpal – Guardian of A Direction A Marble sculpture of 48cm height was recovered while de-silting in 1987-88. This sculpture has an inscription in devnagari(indian script) “Maharajani Shri Udayamati”. Due to time constraints, we did not get a chance to see this sculpture. Hence, have no idea where it is kept (May be in museum). Rani Ki Vav is built using burnt bricks, lime mortar, and locally available “Dhrangadhra” stone. Larger blocks of stones were joined by Rosewood Dowels and placed on the ground, forming the floor of the steps and terraces. Interlocking system with woodInterlocking System With Wood A small glass plate was attached at several places where cracks are visible. These cracks were developed after Bhuj’s Earthquake. Upon asking about the purpose of these glass plates, our guide told us they are attached to keep the track of changes in such sections. When the stress on such sections will be increased, these glass plates will break and give an indication for safety. #thehinduheritage #CulturalHeritage #thehindugodsandgoddesses #scrolllink #bharat

Durga Puja is one of the most important festivals in India, especially celebrated with great joy in West Bengal and many other states. It honors Goddess Durga, who symbolizes power and the victory of good over evil. The festival usually takes place in the month of September or October and lasts for several days. Beautiful idols of Goddess Durga are placed in decorated pandals, where people gather to pray, sing, dance, and enjoy cultural programs. Families and friends wear new clothes, share special food, and celebrate together. On the last day, called Vijayadashami, the idols are immersed in rivers or seas, marking the end of the festival and spreading the message of peace, strength, and goodness.’ -Life Unfold #jaiMataDi #DurgaPuja #Navaratri #kurukulla #Kaulantakpeeth #kulantPeeth

A paradox is a statement or situation that seems to go against itself but may still be true. It often looks confusing because it combines two opposite ideas that both make sense in different ways. For example, the saying “less is more” sounds strange, but it means that simplicity can often be more powerful than complexity. Paradoxes are common in science, philosophy, and daily life, and they challenge the way we think. They make us question reality, search for deeper meanings, and understand that not everything in life is as simple as it first appears.’ -Life Unfold. #paradox #strange #philosophy #scrolllink #mind #brain #understanding
