Konarka

🇮🇳 *FACTS ABOUT INDIA* 🇮🇳
=======================
 The name *Konârka* is derived from the Sanskrit word Kona (meaning angle) and word Arka (meaning sun) in reference to the temple which was dedicated to the Sun god Surya. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Konark Sun Temple is famous for its unique architecture. Its geometrical patterns and carved wheels used to serve as sun dials. Konark Sun Temple (Konark Surya Mandir) is a 13th-century CE Sun temple at Konark about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northeast from Puri on the coastline of Odisha, India. The temple is attributed to king Narasimhadeva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty about 1250 CE.

🛕 *VEDIK GYAN* 
=======================
*Amavasya Puja*
Amavasya is considered highly auspicious to worship the dead ancestors and forefathers. According to Garuda Purana, the ancestors visit their descendants on this day and if they’re offered food on this day then they become very happy and bless their descendants with peace, happiness and prosperity. This is done through a special event in which the descendants offer food to the crows and poor people who will in turn carry it to the ancestors and seek their blessings. Another popular ritual among the Hindus is the Amavasya Vrat in which Lord Vishnu is worshipped as the presiding deity. As a part of the Puja, the day is observed as a partial fast in which a meal is taken only once in the day which is purely vegetarian.
