About the project

Ancient temples were built with Agamam and science behind Mulavar(Main deity), the form of siva linga, Kodi Maram(flagstaff ) the gopuram( tower) and kalasam(metal pot) and its various purpose including storage and distribution of energy( electromagnetic/magnetic) charging will be attempted in this proposal In the temple, panchalogam (five metals including gold, silver, copper, iron and tin) are widely utilized for deity and many important parts including kalasam. The reason behind the metallurgical science will be explored and correlated with energy (magnetic and electromagnetic) source generation, storage and distribution.. Similarly, various food grains are generally being stored inside this kalasam in the top of the gopuram and will be replaced after 12 years. The reason behind including lightening protection characteristics will be explored. Location of the kodi maram and main deity and its orientation will also be explored to understand its characteristics The form of lingam (ellipsoidal) will be explored to understand its significance of storage capacity of the energy. Similarly, the geometric form of kalasam, gopuram will be explored to understand its significance and the science behind these will be quantified by experimentally measuring the energy with available modern instruments Majority of the ancient temples were built with black granite stones, and main deity abhishekam(holy bath) is performed with milk, curd, ghee, honey, turmeric. Presence of pores in the main deity and these abhishekam material’s fat and wet retaining characteristics along with energy storage along with crack resistance characteristics along with its stability will be explored. Science behind lighting of the lamp, Sandhya kalam,s( egg shaped stones) and rudraksha mala will also be explored in this proposal along with material, form involved in ancient temples
