On top left (North-West) you must have noticed that there is a small boundary between India and Afghanistan. So, according to the land claimed by India, it shares a boundary with Afghanistan.

With the end of British rule in India in 1947, princely states were left to choose whether to join India or Pakistan or to remain independent. Jammu and Kashmir had a predominantly Muslim population ruled by the Hindu Maharaja Hari Singh.

दस पवित्र पक्षी और उनका रहस्य!

आइये जाने उन दस दिव्य और पवित्र पक्षीयों के बारे मैं जिनका हिंदू धर्म में बहुत ही महत्व माना गया है

तो कहते हैं कि वह परमहंस हो गया
परमहंस सबसे बड़ा पद माना गया है।

हंस पक्षी प्यार और पवित्रता का प्रतीक है। यह बहुत ही विवेकी पक्षी माना गया है। आध्यात्मिक दृष्टि मनुष्य के नि:श्वास में 'हं' और श्वास में 'स' ध्वनि सुनाई पड़ती है। मनुष्य का जीवन क्रम ही 'हंस' है क्योंकि

उसमें ज्ञान का अर्जन संभव है। अत: हंस 'ज्ञान' विवेक, कला की देवी सरस्वती का वाहन है। यह पक्षी अपना ज्यादातर समय मानसरोवर में रहकर ही बिताते हैं या फिर किसी एकांत झील और समुद्र के किनारे।

हंस दांप‍त्य जीवन के लिए आदर्श है। यह जीवन भर एक ही साथी के साथ रहते हैं।

यदि दोनों में से किसी भी एक साथी की मौत हो जाए तो दूसरा अपना पूरा जीवन अकेले ही गुजार या गुजार देती है।
जीवन अकेले ही गुजार या गुजार देती है। जंगल के कानून की तरह इनमें मादा पक्षियों के लिए लड़ाई नहीं होती। आपसी समझबूझ के बल पर ये अपने साथी का चयन करते हैं।

इनमें पारिवारिक और सामाजिक भावनाएं पाई जाती है।

हिंदू धर्म में हंस को मारना अर्थात पिता, देवता और गुरु को मारने के समान है। ऐसे व्यक्ति को तीन जन्म तक नर्क में रहना होता है।

The Martand Sun Temple was built by Lalitaditya Muktapida, the third maharaja of Kashmir under the Karkota dynasty, in the 8th century AD. While it has been thought to have been built between 725–756 AD....

@LostTemple7

the foundation of the temple dates back to around 370–500 AD, with some attributing the construction of the temple to have begun with King Ranaditya,who ruled Kashmir around 223 CE. The construction of smaller panels around the main shrine is attributed to

Queen Amritprabha, his wife. It is believed that King Ranaditya built Martandeshwari temple in front of his Royal Palace in the city called Babul.

Some also believe that the foundation of Martand Surya Mandir was laid as early as between 370 and 500 CE.

Few claim that Samdhimati Aryaraja (35 BCE) built the Martand Surya Mandir.

Destruction:-

Martand Sun Temple was destroyed in early 15th century during the rule of Sikandar Butshikhan who was responsible for forced conversion of Hindus into Islam. .

He was also called the ‘Sikandar the Iconoclast’ or Sikandar Butshikan. He was the sixth sultan of Kashmir’s Shah Miri Dynasty. He ruled between 1389 to 1413.

It was Sikandar Shah Miri who was responsible for the destruction and desecration of the Hindu Martand Sun Temple.
