14th Century Hero Stone with Rare Inscription Found in the Trash!
The inscription written in Kannada read ‘Swastisri Jayabhudaya Saka Varsha 12 (3) 27, Parthiva Samvatsra, Kartika, ba.10, Monday’. the inscription records the death of the hero Ramachandra Deva Nayaka in a battle in Penugonda during the reign of Harihara Raya II of the Vijayanagara empire.
Thats not the point here. The @ASIGoI director "opines" this to be a Sati performance by the wife of the Veeragallu. @Newsexpress further ephasises this Hero Stone as 'Hero Sati' Stone.
@ASIGoI please don;t opine on such a sensitive issue.

Meteorology in the Mauryan Empire
Do you that the Mauryan Empire (322-185 BCE) had Metereological teams that was responsible for observing and recording weather patterns.
_Mauryan Observations:_
1. Arthashastra (Mauryan treatise on statecraft) mentions officials responsible for monitoring weather, climate, and natural phenomena.
2. Ashoka's Edicts (269-232 BCE) describe measures taken to mitigate droughts and floods.
3. Kautilya's Treatise on Meteorology (Mauryan-era text) discusses weather forecasting and agricultural planning.
_Mauryan Officials:_
1. _Raksha-Maharaja_: Chief Protection Officer, oversaw weather monitoring and disaster management.
2. _Pramana-Maana-Adhikarana_: Head of Weights and Measures Department, possibly involved in weather observations.
_Meteorological Knowledge:_
1. Mauryans recognized seasonal patterns (ritus) and climate zones.

Initially, this seems like superstition. However, the garland of 27 heads suggests it's a celestial event recorded in their unique way. Yet, without a neutral explanation, it remains superstition.

- Heavyweight elephants follow the Dulha
- Can you spot the two Britishers? What are they doing at this wedding?
This scene reminds me of modern-day Hindu weddings, although cars have replaced horses and elephants.
