GO EXPERIENCE THE INDIAN FAIRYTALE CALLED
The Jantar Mantar is an equinoctial sundial, consisting a gigantic triangular gnomon with the hypotenuse parallel to the Earth’s axis. On either side of the gnomon is a quadrant of a circle, parallel to the plane of the equator. The instrument is intended to measure the time of day, correct to half a second and declination of the Sun and the other heavenly bodies.
There are five Jantar Mantar monuments in India, of which the largest is in Jaipur which features many instruments along with the world’s largest stone sundial. The Vrihat Samrat yantra is a sundial that can give the local time to an accuracy of 2 seconds. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the early 18th century, Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur constructed five Jantar Mantars in total, in New Delhi, Jaipur, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi; they were completed between 1724 and 1735.
The Jantar Mantar monument in Jaipur, Rajasthan is a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, and completed in 1734. It features the world’s largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located near City Palace and Hawa Mahal. The instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye. The monument expresses architectural innovations, as well as the coming together of ideas from different religious and social beliefs in 18th-century India. The observatory is an example of the Ptolemaic positional astronomy which was shared by many civilizations.
Jantar Mantar is located in the modern city of New Delhi. It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The site is one of five built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, from 1723 onwards, as he was given by Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah the task of revising the calendar and astronomical tables. There is a plaque fixed on one of the structures in the Jantar Mantar observatory in New Delhi that was placed there in 1910 mistakenly dating the construction of the complex to the year 1710. Later research, though, suggests 1724 as the actual year of construction.
Jantar Mantar is an observatory built in Varanasi in the year 1737 by Maharaja Jai Singh II of kingdom of Amber (later called Jaipur). The observatory is one of the five observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh II.
Vedh Shala or Jantar Mantar is located in the holy city of New Ujjain. It is an observatory built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in 1725 which consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The observatory is one of the five observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh II when he was governor of Ujjain.
Raja Jai Singh and his astrologer Pt. Jagannath contributed their invaluable contributions in the spread of this science by composing texts like ‘Yantra type’ and ‘Emperor theory’. He has established 5 observatories in his care, out of which Mathura was the last one. After it, Jai Singh also added Indian astronomy to European ideology. So it would be fair to say that Jaisingh’s observatories became the basis of the constellations of the future in India. Thus a circle of constellations is completed from the observatory and observatories from stone structures.
Dussehra is a Hindu festival celebrated all over the country. As the name suggests, it is the ‘Tenth Day’ of the fierce battle fought; when Lord Rama killed King Ravana. This holy day marks the victory of good over evil. The Dussehra Festival of Kota is quite a unique experience for both, the residents and tourists. Villagers dress themselves in colourful traditional wear and join long processions to offer their prayers to Lord Rama.

The climax of the show holds most appeal as it ends with setting alight gigantic effigies of the 10-headed Ravana along with his brother Kumbhkarana and his son Meghnath. These 75-feet tall statues are stuffed with crackers and once set on fire, they burst to create an extravagant show.

The government of India Approved the construction of 6 nuclear-powered submarines in February 2015. These will be designed by the Navy’s in-house Directorate of Naval Design and indigenously built in Shipbuilding Centre Vishkapatnam. Indian Government approved the project of 6 nuclear-powered attack submarines and seven stealth frigate at the cost of about $16 billion.
It is expected that the new domestically build submarines are likely to be based on Akula-class submarines because India uses the Russian Nuclear Submarines INS Chakra for about 10 years on lease. The submarines will be powered by a Miniature pressurised water reactor(PWR) being developed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Which has already supplied a similar 83 miniature reactor for the Arihan-class SSBNs.

The Arihant Class is a class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines being built for the Indian Navy. The lead Vessel of the class, INS Arihant was first launched in 2009 and began sea trails in December 2014. It is expected to commissioned in Early 2016 . Presently it is under sea trails. The Arihant-class submarine are being built under the US $2.9 billion Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project to design and build nuclear-powered submarines.They will be the first nuclear submarines designed and built by India.

The Kalvari Class is a class of Submarine based On the Scorpene-class submarine. The diesel-electric powered Scorpene submarine to be called INS Kalvari after commissioning will undergo extensive sea trials before it is cleared to formally join the Indian Navy. The diesel-electric submarines are being built at the state-run Mazgaon docks in Mumbai; they are expected to be inducted into the Navy by 2018, about four years later than planned.
Project delayed by 4 years. The first submarine is planned to be in service by 2016 and the last by 2020. India plans to make 6 in total where 5 are under construction and 1 submarine named INS Kalvari has been launched to undergo sea trials on April 2015.

The Akula class submarines is a nuclear-powered submarine first deployed by the Soviet Union in 1986. It is being operated by three nations namely Soviet union, Russian Navy and Indian Navy. India leased INS Chakra the Akula Class submarine from Russia.It was officially inducted into the Indian Navy on April 4, 2012.Before leasing more than three hundred Indian Navy personnel were trained in Russia for the operation of the Akula II Submarine Nerpa.Later on, it is named INS Chakra.

The Indian Navy Swimmer Delivery Vehicle(SDV) I a planned class of Midget Submarine for the Indian navy. under this programme, the Indian Navy will acquire 2 midget submarines for use as Swimmer delivery vehicles. These submarines will be used for conducting underwater special operations by MARCOS. Both submarines will be constructed by Hindustan Shipyard limited, The cost of procuring the two SDVs will be around 2000 crore.

The Project 75I-class submarine is a follow-on of the project 75 Kalvari-Class submarine for the Indian Navy. Indian navy has acquired 6 diesel-electric submarines under this project which features advanced Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system that enables the submarines to stay submerged for longer duration and increasing its operational range sustainability. All the 6 submarines are expected to be constructed in Indian Shipyards and the project costs around $8.1 Billion. In October 2014, The project got a green signal from Defence Acquisition Council.
The Project 75I submarines will have a vertical Launching system that enables the submarine to carry Brahmos Supersonic cruise missile making it fully capable to do anti-surface and anti-ship warfare missions. The submarines will be armed with torpedoes and feature advanced stealth capabilities such as greater suppress noise and acoustics signature.
Kumbhalgarh fort is a Mewar fortress on the westerly range of Aravalli Hills, in the Rajsamand district near Udaipur of Rajasthan state. Kumbhalgarh is the second largest fort in Rajasthan and is declared as a ‘World Heritage Site’.

Interesting Facts About Surgical Strike by Indian Army
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar (Now, CM of GOA), National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Army Chief Dalbir Singh and Director General Military Operations Ranbir Singh monitored the operation of surgical strike.
No army would be foolish enough to provide evidence of an intelligence-based surgical strike. Although few central ministers wanted to know about the whole operation as a documentary. How could the army tell you about the satellite positions, equipment which they used?
It only puts a big questions mark on their thinking and intelligence…
These few facts can only be observed by the news:
Do share it if you agree to the facts and are proud of Indian Army for conducting it.
JAI HIND!!
