Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, Indian physicist, was born in Tiruchirapalli, South India. His work was influential in the growth of science in India. He was the recipient of the 1930 Nobel Prize for Physics for the 1928 discovery now called 'Raman scattering'--a change in frequency observed when light is scattered in a transparent material. When monochromatic or laser light is passed through a transparent gas, liquid, or solid and is observed with the spectroscope, the normal spectral line has associated with it lines of longer and of shorter wavelength called the Raman spectrum. Thus the Raman effect is applied in spectrographic chemical analysis and in the determination of molecular structure.

🌷 Mahavir Janma Kalyanak is one of the most important religious festivals in Jainism. It celebrates the birth of Mahavir, the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara of present Avasarpiṇī.[a] On the Gregorian calendar, the holiday occurs either in March or April.

🌺 Birth

According to Jain texts, Mahavir was born on the thirteenth day of the bright half of the moon in the month of Chaitra in the year 599 BCE (Chaitra Sud 13). Most modern historians consider Kundagram (which is today's Kundalpur in Champaran district of Bihar) as his birthplace.[6] Mahavir was born in a democratic kingdom (Ganarajya), Vajji, where the king was chosen by votes. Vaishali was its capital.
Mahavir was named 'Vardhaman', meaning "One who grows", because of the increased prosperity in the kingdom at the time of his birth. In Vasokund, Mahavir is revered by the villagers. A place called Ahalya bhumi has not been ploughed for hundreds of years by the family that owns it, as it is considered to be the birthplace of Mahavir.

🕉️Legend

Mahavirswami was born into Ikshvaku dynasty as the son of King Siddhartha of Kundagrama and Queen Trishala. During her pregnancy, Trishala was believed to have had a number of auspicious dreams, all signifying the coming of a great soul. Digambara sect of Jainism holds that the mother saw sixteen dreams which were interpreted by the King Siddhartha. According to the Svetambara sect, the total number of auspicious dreams is fourteen. It is said that when Queen Trishala gave birth to Mahavir, Indra, the head of heavenly beings (devas) performed a ritual called abhisheka on Sumeru Parvat, this being the second of five auspicious events (Panch Kalyanakas), said to occur in the life of all Tirthankaras.
✨The idol of Lord Mahavir is carried out on a chariot, in a procession called rath yatra.On the way stavans (religious rhymes) are recited. Statues of Mahavir are given a ceremonial anointment called the abhisheka. During the day, most members of the Jain community engage in some sort of charitable act, prayers, pujas, and vratas. Many devotees visit temples dedicated to Mahavir to meditate and offer prayers. Lectures by monks and nuns are held in temples to preach the path of virtue as defined by Jainism. Donations are collected in order to promote charitable missions like saving cows from slaughter or helping to feed poor people. Ancient Jain temples across India typically see an extremely high volume of practitioners come to pay their respects and join in the celebrations.
Ahimsa runs and rallies preaching Lord Mahavir's message of Ahiṃsā (non-violence) are taken out on this day.🌺

🕉️🚩 Gudhi Padva signifies the arrival of spring and to the reaping of Rabi crops. The festival is linked to the mythical day on which Hindu god Brahma created time and universe.
🚩 The Maharashtrian festival Gudi Padwa, also known as Samvastar Padyo, is an auspicious occasion celebrated on the first day of Chaitra month of the Hindu calendar. This year it will be celebrated on April 2, Saturday. This festival signifies the arrival of spring and coincides with the beginning of the New year for Marathi and Konkani Hindus, especially famous in parts of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.With vibrant adornments, Gudi Padwa witnesses dancing, street processions and tasty festival delicacies.
📿 According to Hindu mythology, the term Gudi Padwa originates from two words ‘gudi’, meaning flag or symbol of Lord Brahma and ‘padwa’ implies the first day of the phase of the moon. For that reason, in Maharashtra, one can notice the flag in most of the houses celebrating the festival. It is also said that Lord Brahma had created the universe on this day, introducing the concept of days, weeks, months and years.
🌺 In Andhra Pradesh, this festival is also well-known with the name of Ugadi, assumed to be the first day of the creation of the universe. Hence, Lord Brahma is worshipped on this special day widely.
🕉️This occasion holds a lot of significance in Maharashtra. Rabi crops are reaped after this celebration which also symbolises the arrival of the spring season. Moreover, Gudi is said to be a reminder of victory. According to many people, the day honours the coronation of Lord Rama after his return to Ayodhya, winning the battle against Ravana.
✨There is another explanation, wherein rural Maharashtra, Anne Feldhaus, President of the Association for Asian Studies, observed that the Gudi Padwa festival is related to the coming together of the community and Lord Shiva’s dance. The devotees carry Gudi Kavads to a nearby or famous Shiv temple.
