lake but shriveled in to the size of a pond.in the centre of the pond there is a rock on which the feet of lord vishnu are carved. It was symbolical with Sankha(Conch), Chakra (helm), gadha and padma (lotus). Take a bath in this considered to be sacred.

Quote of the DAY........

              As your faith is strengthened,

you will find that there is no longer the need,

to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will,

and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.

Martin Luther

HEARTY WELCOME "2010"

Let it be a new era, sustaining beliefs
Let it be creamful, deriving freshness.

       The world which opens the horizon
       The path as is shown by vigor and craze

Giving lives to all, by words of trust
Gleaming bonds that end forever.

       Patures nourishing earth, with crystal water
       Paving stones for vegetation lifelong.

Leaving handful of merries always
Leaving heartiest blessing to all.

        The world created for us, to live, to lend,
         The smile, the glance, that embodies life.

Imaginary elements of a science fiction are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature. Cataclysmic earthquakes, floodwater from the tsunamis, view of the Earth from space and showing a much larger Africa and a flooded Asia, assumes the film the form of viral marketing also, along with the concept, making human aware of his ultimate end.
