Answers to Quiz #1 - Diwali mini-quiz
Tha answers to the same can be found in the comments section, however Vinod suggested that it’s better to post the answers separately. So here are the answers:
1) It is the NEW MOON DAY of KARTIKA
2) Ram returned after defeating Ravana from Sri Lanka. He reached South India first in his way up north. That’s why we celebrate it a day earlier.(No one can say for sure. This is a possible answer.)
3) Sivakasi. (Too easy a question to even ask.)
4) Dhanvantri- Physician of Gods. If anyone is from Coimbatore, you would know of the Dhanvantri temple too.
5) Sita. (Another clarification, I said the child would be the cause of death and not cause death. If Sita wasn’t taken away by Ravana, Ram probably wudnt have killed him.)
Normal human beings can travel from South India to North India in a single day on a bike. Ram was travelling by horse or chariot perhaps?
Ha ha, I dont know how long it toook him….maybe he started from lanka at around 11:50 , passed TN on the same day and then when he went further North, it was already the next day 12:00 -> so even if he travelled at the speed of light, theres still a possibility.
hi, where is Dhanvantri temple in coimbatore
@new,
Dhanvanthri temple in Coimbatore is close to Ramanathapuram if I am correct. Trichy road. I can’t give you the exact description as of now. I’ll see what I can do.
@new,
I have posted a map here. You may check the same.
