 Oh, do you think that our Dose, Vijay Varma, was named after Vijay Varma in D.Varma? Oh, that's a good question. I mean, I know Vijay. Very common name. It could be just a common name. It just happened to be that way. I don't know if Varma is also a common name. I think it is. But his name is exactly what it was in the film. And so I didn't know. It could be. Maybe I'll ask our Dose. I bet that's happened a lot. People have been named after an iconic character from some film. Yeah, probably. Dose! Back towards D.Varra, I actually need to get... To blaze! To bluff! Today we got an informational video. Top 5 Mysterious Places in Tamil Nadu. Specifically. Specifically there. Alright. It's a very interesting video about the Top 5 Mysterious Places in Tamil Nadu. And that is where there's no scientific reasoning behind these centuries-old places. You mean like their existence? I mean, there's probably some scientific. You just probably don't know them. There's usually scientific reason. Behind most things. I disagree. Oh no. There's not behind most things? Nope. Oh, okay. All science is a fallacy based on this time space continuum and wouldn't work outside of it. I'm just being fool right now. A fallacy that has a rich history and folklore. Tamil Nadu is home to a number of mysterious places and phenomena. Welcome to Cyndi Chitra. Nice rock. Today we are listing out the Top 5 Mysteries in Tamil Nadu that continue to battle one and all. Number 5. At number 5 we have the Foreigner Statues at Tanjavur Temple. Ancient architecture and carvings tend to reveal a lot about our history. Like many southern temples, the Brihadeeshwara Temple at Tanjavur Tamil Nadu has several gods and saints carved on it. Built almost 1000 years ago in 1010 AD, the temple has the figure of a European looking person carved on it. This figure is also believed to resemble the then king of France Robert II. Similarly, the same temple also has the figure of a Chinese man carved on it. Historians tell us that the world was not connected until 1500. In fact, the first European to set foot on Indian soil was Vasco the Gama in 1498. Almost 500 years after the construction of this temple. Yeah, you don't know that for sure though. Does that mean that the then Indian king Rajaraja Choram had already established international relations with other countries? Well, if the Wi-Fi signal was strong enough. What was the means of communication? These are intense. These numbers. At 4, we have Krishna's Butter Ball. At Mahabalipuram stands a huge boulder measuring 20 feet in height with a diameter of 5 meters. Known as Krishna's Butter Ball, this rock weighs over 250 tons. And yet stands precariously balanced on the mere area of 4 square feet on a very small scale. What is even more amazing is that it has been so for over 1200 years. Considering the danger it posed to live at, the governor of Madras, Arthur Lawley, employed seven elephants to push the rock in 1908. But much to the amazement of everyone, the rock did not budge and the task was abandoned. It's a tough rock. No one has been able to explain how such a heavy boulder remains perfectly balanced at an incline. At 3rd position we have the Sweating Idol. About 5 kilometers from Nagapatinam in Tamil Nadu is a place called Sikkal, which is famous for the Shingar available Subramanya temple. Every year in mid-October November, the temple celebrates the victory of Lord Subramanya over the demon Surapadman. On the 5th day of this 6 day festival, as per legend, the Lord receives his veil or his weapon from his mother to vanquish the demon. During this part of the festival, the idol of Lord Subramanya is said to sweat profusely, signifying the anger of the Lord who eagerly waits to kill the demon. This water is sprinkled on the devotees to bless them. The sweating subsides when the idol returns to its shrine on the 6th day of the festival. That's crazy. I would like to see that. Coming 2nd is Nacheyar Kalgarudan. The Nacheyar temple in Kumbakonam is known for a very mysterious phenomenon. It is home to the famous statue of Kalgarudan or the stone statue of Lord Vishnu's Eagle Mount. Each year, during the Tamil months of Margarhi and Panguni, the statue is taken out of the main sanctum for a procession. It is said that as the statue moves out of the temple, its weight increases exponentially. Thus, the number of people required to carry the idol increases from 4 to 8, 16, 32, 64 and so on. Wow. Similarly, when the idol is brought back into the shrine, the weight decreases and the number of people required to carry the float comes down from 64 to 4. This inexplicable change in weight of the idol continues to baffle scientists and devotees alike. Wow. 1st place is the Ram Setu bridge. The mystery of the floating Ram Setu bridge has always teased us. This bridge, built of floating stones can still be seen between India and Sri Lanka. According to Ramayana, 1.7 million years ago, the bridge was built by architects Nala and Neel along with an army of 10 million Vanaras or monkeys to help Lord Ram cross the ocean to rescue his wife Sita from the clutches of the demon Ravan. The powerful Vanaras threw huge boulders of limestone into the shallow sea with the name of Lord Ram written on it. This made the rocks float and a 30-kilometer long and 3-kilometer wide bridge was constructed in mere 5 days between Dhanushkodi in India and Sri Lanka's Mannar island. Since this story is very old and unproven, many historians, scientists and archaeologists deny this being Lord Ram's miracle. At the same time, they fail to explain the concept of floating stones found in Rameshwaram. They have in speculations of the rocks being either fumes or corals, but both the theories have scientifically been disproven. Was this bridge actually built by the powers of Lord Ram, or is this a manmade structure with a science behind it? What do you think? Send us your comments. That's the coolest one. That was very cool. I would actually like to go there and look at it. Yeah. I'm such a skeptic, I don't believe anything anybody ever tells me. That's so interesting because obviously my first thought would be like, is that lava rock? Lava rock's lighter than other rocks. It doesn't surprise me that there would be a rock that has weight to it but is still buoyant. But obviously, like you saw from the satellite, there's like an entire long row and it wouldn't surprise me if it was manmade or if there was, I don't know if it's on a fault line or something, because obviously in Ireland and Scotland, there's this thing called the Giant's Causeway. Okay. And you've probably seen pictures of it, but it's the rocks that look like they're stepping stones. Okay. They literally look like stepping stones. The giants. Huh. It's a natural thing. Huh. It happened, but the story is that there were, on either side, on Scotland and then on Ireland, it was two giants that were angry at each other and they threw stones and it made this formation. Interesting. But it's from lava, is kind of what made that. But it's extremely, I went there when I went to Ireland. It's an extremely cool place. It looks cool. It looks otherworldly. But that would be my first thought, but I don't know if it's on a fault line or anything. The one that's intriguing to me is, do they definitively know that carrying the idol out, that more weight is actually being pressed down? Yeah. I don't know. Because for it to go from four to 64 and then 64 in the back, that's, that's, yeah. I would like to, I would like to experience it because, once again, I'm a skeptic. And so I'm like, I feel like you guys just want to keep this story up. And so you're adding more people. Yeah. What I'm going to tell everybody is we're just, we're getting tired. So we need more people to carry it because of the longer you carry it, the heavier it feels. So we need to add more people to it. I don't think that's anywhere remotely close to the case. Obviously if that, if that's the case and it gets, that's super cool and super weird and I love that. Yeah. Well, there are phenomena like that in certain places. Like it's, they call it the Bermuda Triangle for a reason. It's true that airplane instruments have historically in the past started malfunction there because there's something going on in the Bermuda Triangle. So yeah, there's a bunch of cool stuff that I would like to be able to see and experience these weird phenomena. There's a lot around the world. It's a cool place. But once again, I'm a skeptic. So I tend to not believe people. Like Rick, tell me something. The pyramids. I don't believe you. See? I told you I'm a skeptic. Have you ever seen the pyramids? No person proved they exist. Just because I've seen a picture of the pyramids doesn't mean it exists. I bet they're tiny. I bet they're little and I bet they were made by a couple of guys in Pittsburgh. Anyways, that was cool. Let us know other videos of anything. We did a haunting mysterious. Yeah, especially the mysterious stuff. We like this kind of stuff.
