Friends, from time to time, many events occur in the world, some of which are so astonishing that they baffle not only ordinary people but also scientists. These events remain mysteries among us forever, as even scientists cannot uncover their underlying causes. Our country India has also hidden many such mysteries since ancient times, the reasons behind which remain unknown to this day. In this video, we will learn about some astonishing aspects of modern India that will leave you spellbound.
1. Kodinhi, Kerala: The Village of Twins
We all know that conceiving twins is a rare natural occurrence worldwide. On average, only 16 out of 1000 successful pregnancies result in twins. However, in Kodinhi village in Kerala, it is a remarkable phenomenon. More than 500 twins are born in this village of over 2000 families. Scientists have made efforts for a long time to understand this rare phenomenon but have failed to draw any conclusions. Some experts hint at genetic factors as the cause, while many scientists attribute it to the environment. However, the exact reason behind it remains a mystery even today.
2. Brihadeeswarar Temple, Tanjore: The Enigmatic Granite Structure
The Brihadeeswarar Temple in Tanjore, Tamil Nadu, is one of India’s 36 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This temple, dating back nearly 1000 years, holds many secrets. Constructed entirely of granite stones, there is no knowledge of any granite quarries within a 1000-kilometer radius. The mystery lies in where the granite stones used in building the temple were sourced from. Even today, it remains an enigma.
3. Prahlad Jani: The Man Who Defied Food and Water for Decades
If I ask you how long a person can survive without eating, you might say 10 days, 15 days, or maybe a month at most. However, Prahlad Jani from Gujarat survived without food or water for nearly seven decades. When his story reached international media outlets like BBC and Al Jazeera, people were astonished by his unique ability. Despite a comprehensive study conducted by 35 specialists from the Defense Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences in 2010, no concrete explanation could be found. Whether Prahlad Jani truly survived without food or water for so long or if it remains a mystery to this day is uncertain.
4. Iron Pillar of Delhi: A Rust-Free Marvel
We all know that leaving iron exposed for some time leads to rusting. However, this concept is challenged when we talk about the Iron Pillar of Delhi located in the Qutub Minar complex. This iron pillar, believed to be around 1600 years old, stands without any signs of corrosion for centuries. Ancient people believed that the pillar was made of a mysterious non-earthly metal. In 2003, scientists studied its structure and found a protective layer of misawite, which prevents corrosion. However, experts also attribute the stable condition of the pillar to Delhi’s weather.
5. Sonbhandar: The Hidden Treasure Cave of Bihar
In Bihar’s Rajgir, lies the mysterious Sonbhandar cave. Legend has it that Emperor Ashoka hid his treasure here by getting the cave built. However, no one has been able to find out what lies inside it till date. Once, the British tried to open it by blasting with a cannon, but they failed. Today, the marks of that blast can still be seen on the cave’s entrance. Since then, no one has been able to open the cave, making its contents a mystery.
6. Hanging Pillar of Lepakshi Temple: Suspended in Mystery
Hanging Pillar of Lepakshi Temple. Situated in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, the Lepakshi Temple is famous for its mysteries. It is constructed with 70 pillars, one of which hangs in the air in a mysterious manner. It is said that an engineer tried to understand its construction by inserting an iron rod beneath it and moving it, causing cracks throughout the temple. Fearing consequences, he fled, leaving the pillar suspended in the air, and its mystery remains unsolved.
7. Shani Shingnapur: The Village Without Locks and Doors
If I ask you to leave your house unlocked and unguarded, you would probably say thieves would steal all your belongings. However, if you visit Shani Shingnapur village in Maharashtra, you’ll be astonished to find that houses have no doors or locks, and people leave their valuables open. Moreover, there has been no theft in this village for almost 300 years. It is believed that the village is protected by the deity Sunny Dev, and anyone attempting theft becomes blind and is punished by the deity. Despite having banks and police stations, no one has been able to solve the mystery of why such incidents don’t occur here.
