BHARAT DARSHAN: EXPLORING THE UNEXPLORED: NALACHATTI: UNTOLD TALES OF THE MAHABHARATA (Episode-2)

In this show of our documentary travelogue on Steemit, "Bharat Darshan: exploring the unexplored", Sukhnidhey Films (www.sukhnidhey.com) takes our viewers to witness an ancient forgotten land, "Nalachatti", in the heights of the mighty Himalayas. Associated with numerous events in the great Indian epic, and the longest poem in the world- the Mahabharata, Nalachatti is the place where one can still see the divine weapons of the Pandavas, which, as mentioned in the Mahabharata, were fiercely used in the Kurukshetra war. We look at the weapons closely and compare them with the descriptions given in the ancient text. We explore the possibilities of the use of nuclear waepons in the war, as described in the Mahabharata by the nature of the weapons Bhramastra, Chakra, Gada, Bhramshira, Narayanastra, etc used.

We critically examine and show our viewers the extremely rare symbol of the universal alive conscious energy, the Shaktiswaroop as found here alongside an ancient Shiva lingam, which too, is of an unusual egg-like shape. We examine them both in detail, and study their significance in Hindu religion.

This is the also the place where the celebrated King Nala, who along with his consort, Queen Damyanti, after spending 12 years in exile, regained his kingdom, but soon lost interest in worldly pursuits and renounced the world. Nala then arrived at Nalachatti, where he began his penance and ultimately achieved salvation. His relics can be seen, in the form of a Stupa, and an ancient temple of Goddess Tripur Sundari, even today.

Next, we see up close the place where the last descendent of the Pandavas, the grandson of the great warrior Arjuna, King Parikshit performed a "Sarpadi Yajna" for his security against snakes after being cursed to die of a snake bite.

We also look at an ancient undecipherable writing in an ancient script here; which hides within it several mysteries. Finally, we also critically examine the architectural features of the place, which is a beautiful conglomerate of Hindu and Buddhist architectural styles as shown in the film. We explore everything and take you through this exciting journey to the ancient unknown land.

So, hold your breath, tighten your seat belts and come along with us as we take you to this divine place, gather and document historical evidences on this enchanting journey, studying the architectural features and critically examining the events as described in the ancient Indian texts, and as we see them first hand.
