NAKSHATRAS AS GODDESSES
3/27
🔪KRITTIKA🔥
DISCLAIMER: This is based solely on my research and the patterns that I saw. I can't promise that I'm gonna be sure in all the coorelations, but I'm going to attribute each nakshatra a goddess that I think fits it the closest. If you're dissapointed, to make up for it, I'm going to list some other deities in the end that I think also fit the nakshatra. Don't come for me if you think I'm wrong, be respectful in the comments if you think so and have fun 🤍
This was easy and almost immidiate. The associations between this goddess and Krittika are so apparent I didn't hesitate for a second. Look out for other deities similar to her in the end.
Brigid
Tumblr media
Pantheon: Celtic (Irish)
Name meaning: "the exalted one", "strength"
Associations: fire, spring, poetry and inspiration, healing and herbalism, smithcraft, agriculture, cattle and sheep.
Symbols: Brigid's cross, holy wells, eternal flame.
Brigid is one of the most highly- revered and widely worshipped Celtic goddesses. She'a triple goddess, representing the maiden, the mother and the crone. As a Maiden, she rules over poetry, music and ispiration. As a Mother, she's presiding over healing. As a Crone, she's the goddess of fire and smithcraft.
Frequently depicted with fiery red hair, she is no simple goddess, also ruling over waters and serenity. She's a protector of women and children, presiding over childbirth and motherhood. Also frequengly depicted with lambs and sheep (krittika's yoni animal) and swans. She's closely connected to agriculture and farm animals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brigid, also being connected to wells and rivers, has many landmarks in Ireland with a body of water. The most famous one is a well in Kildare, Ireland. Water from that well is said to have healing properties.
Her father was Dagda (good, great god), leader of the Irish tribe Tuatha Dé Danann ("people of goddess Danu"), which consisted of Irish deities who lived there before the ancestors of the modern Irish had arrived. Dagda was a wise man, an all-father and a Druid. Brigid married Bres, another member of that tribe and together they had three children. One of them, Ruadán, died and Brigid mourned him with profound and painful sadness. She's very devoted to protecting children and this might be a reason why.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In honor of her, there's a sacred fire lit in Kildare and is guarded by the Sisters of St. Brigid. There has been a fire in Kildare since the time Brigid was worshipped. It has been put out several times, but has been re-lit and is still burning. This suggests that the worship of Brigid has endured as she she survived and was made a Catholic saint when Christianity came to Europe.
Tumblr media
I want to talk about why I chose her for Krittika while comparing her to very similar goddesses.
First one is the Roman Vesta. Virgins were chosen to keep the fire of vesta burning and it was said that if even one of them gave their virginity, the fire would burn out. In those instances when fire burned out by itself, the poor Vestal Virgins were to blame. Vesta is also the Roman Equivalent of the Greek Hestia, both being goddesses of the hearth, fire and home.
Krittika is the nakshatra that burns impurities through being precise and cutting away all that is not nessecary, hence a sharp object and a flame being its symbols. Bridging the signs of Aries and Taurus, it's often fiery and passionate but also feminine and nurturing.
Tumblr media
An Indian deity ruling over Krittika is Agni_ God of fire. An Indian goddess that is coorelated to Krittika (and also Purva Phalguni) is Tripura Sundari, meaning "the most beautiful in three worlds". This three world- triple goddess coorelation is apparent to me, besides the obvious fire associations, as well as nurturing, fertility and agriculture.
In the lunar mansion of Krittika, there's a constellation called the Pleiades, often called "the seven sisters". This is another confirmation of Krittika's very feminine nature, despite also representing the birth of the cosmic man and being very fiery and passionate in general.
Some other deities that I'd coorelate with Krittika:
Hestia- another virginal goddess of fire, also associated with home and hearth
Tripura Sundari- Indian goddess, "the most beautiful in the worlds"
Vesta- Roman goddess of fire and virgins
Bel- Celtic sun and fire god, also associated with healing, thunder and purification.
That's it! I hope you enjoyed reading about Brigid. This is a very condensed post but I said pretty much everything I wanted to say. I hope you understood Brigid's energy and made the coorelation between her and Krittika. If you're Krittika, even if you're not, COMMENT, like and reblog. Love u, take care ❤🔥

A walk through Bengal's architecture
Bengali architecture has a long and rich history, fusing indigenous elements from the Indian subcontinent with influences from other areas of the world. Present-day Bengal architecture includes the nation of Bangladesh as well as the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam's Barak Valley. West Bengal’s architecture is an amalgamation of ancient urban architecture, religious architecture, rural vernacular architecture, colonial townhouses and country houses, and modern urban styles. Bengal architecture is the architecture of Wind, Water, and Clay. The Pala Empire (750–1120), which was founded in Bengal and was the final Buddhist imperial force on the Indian subcontinent, saw the apex of ancient Bengali architecture. The majority of donations went to Buddhist stupas, temples, and viharas. Southeast Asian and Tibetan architecture was influenced by Pala architecture. The Grand Vihara of Somapura, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the most well-known structure erected by the Pala rulers.
Tumblr media
The Grand Vihara of Somapura
According to historians, the builders of Angkor Wat in Cambodia may have taken inspiration from Somapura. Bengal architecture became known for its use of terracotta due to the scarcity of stone in the area. Clay from the Bengal Delta was used to make bricks.
The temple architecture has distinct features like the rich wall decoration, often known as the terracotta temples, which was one of the remarkable elements of Bengali temple architecture. The double-roofed architecture of thatched huts was replicated by Bengali temples. Square platforms were used to construct the temples. Burnt brick panels with figures in geometric patterns or substantial sculptural compositions served as the temples' adornment.
Tumblr media
Dochala style
These served as models for many temples that were built in undivided Bengal. Construction materials used in ancient times included wood and bamboo. Bengal has alluvial soil, so there isn't a lot of stone there. The bricks that were utilized to build the architectural components were made from stone, wood, black salt, and granite. Bengal has two different types of temples: the Rekha type, which is smooth or ridged curvilinear, and the Bhadra form, which has horizontal tiers that gradually get smaller and is made up of the amalaka sila. Mughal architecture, including forts, havelis, gardens, caravanserais, hammams, and fountains, spread throughout the area during the Mughal era in Bengal. Mosques built by the Mughals in Bengal also took on a distinctive regional look. The two major centers of Mughal architecture were Dhaka and Murshidabad. The do-chala roof custom from North India was imitated by the Mughals.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
The Rasmancha is a heritage building located at Bishnupur, Bankura district, West Bengal.
Influence of the world on Bengal architecture: Although the Indo-Saracenic architectural style predominated in the area, Neo-Classical buildings from Europe were also present, particularly in or close to trading centers. While the majority of country estates had a stately country house, Calcutta, Dacca, Panam, and Chittagong all had extensive 19th and early 20th-century urban architecture that was equivalent to that of London, Sydney, or other British Empire towns. Calcutta experienced the onset of art deco in the 1930s. Indo-Saracenic architecture can be seen in Ahsan Manzil and Curzon Hall in Dhaka, Chittagong Court Building in Chittagong, and Hazarduari Palace in Murshidabad.
Tumblr media
Hazarduari Palace in Murshidabad
The Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, designed by Vincent Esch also has Indo-Saracenic features, possibly inspired by the Taj Mahal. Additionally, Kolkata's bungalows, which are being demolished to make way for high-rise structures, have elements of art deco. The 1950s in Chittagong saw a continuation of Art Deco influences. The Bengali modernist movement, spearheaded by Muzharul Islam, was centered in East Pakistan. In the 1960s, many well-known international architects, such as Louis Kahn, Richard Neutra, Stanley Tigerman, Paul Rudolph, Robert Boughey, and Konstantinos Doxiadis, worked in the area.
Tumblr media
The Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban
This iconic piece of contemporary Bangladeshi architecture, was created by Louis Kahn. Midsized skyscrapers dominate the cityscapes of contemporary Bengali cities, which are frequently referred to as "concrete jungles." With well-known architects like Rafiq Azam, architecture services play a key role in the urban economies of the area. Overall Bengal architecture was influenced by various contemporaries of their time and continues to evolve.

All the demonic spirits come from vario This was a fun and interesting read.

Tripura is a very popular tourist destination. This state, located at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains in northeast India, is famous for its rich cultural heritage.
The main tourist attractions in #Tripura are sites of historical value. The most prominent among them is the Ujjayanta Palace, a picturesque white structure in the heart of the state capital, Agartala.
No less majestic in its architecture is Neermahal, whose name means “water palace”. Many migratory birds flock to the lake adjacent to this architectural monument. Water sports are available here and a boat festival is held in July-August.
Tripura also features many temples, some of which were built thousands of years ago and are still famous for their traditions.
The state will not disappoint wildlife lovers either, as it is home to large nature reserves and national parks. The most famous of these is the Sepahijala Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to an impressive variety of flora and fauna.

Organic Farming Insights in India: Shared by Pravin Chandan
With the population on a consistent rise worldwide, agricultural systems need to accommodate the growing food demand. As a result, they have implemented several unsustainable methods to produce higher yields. These methods use chemicals excessively, leading to multiple global issues like soil degradation, soil erosion, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. 
Organic farming in India is an incredible solution to help achieve food security goals through sustainable agriculture practices.
What is Organic Farming?
Organic farming refers to natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable practices of farming. Its produce is clean and healthy for the consumers and economically advantageous for the farming communities. The practice focuses on reducing or eliminating external inputs like artificial fertilizers, pesticides, additives, etc. Growth of Organic Farming in India
India ranks number one for the total number of organic farmers as per 2021 data and sixth for the World’s Organic Agricultural land. (Source: FIBL & IFOAM Year Book, 2023).
The world’s first state to become completely organic was Sikkim. States like Uttarakhand and Tripura follow with similar targets. 
The use of chemicals in North East India is much less than in the rest of the country. 
The total area registered for organic farming under the National Programme for Organic Production is 10.17 million hectares as of 31st March 2023. 
Madhya Pradesh has the largest area covered under organic certification. 
In 2022-2023, India produced approximately 2.9 million metric tons of certified organic products. These included different varieties of food products like sugarcane, millet, cereals, oil seeds, pulses, cotton, tea, coffee, spices, fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, aromatic and medicinal plants, fibre, processed foods, etc. 
Methods of Organic Farming in India - A Brief Overview by Pravin Chandan
Different techniques of organic farming are practised in India. Here’s a brief overview of each of them. 
Soil Management Soil management is the first organic farming technique. It focuses on using bacteria available in animal waste to increase the soil’s fertility and productivity. 
Weed Management Weed removal is the next organic farming method. One option is to move or cut the weed. The second option is mulching. Farmers use plant residue or a plastic film on the soil’s surface to restrict the weed’s growth. 
Crop Diversity One of India’s most famous organic farming methods is crop diversity. It focuses on cultivating different crops together to cater to the growing crop demand. 
Natural Management of Organisms To save the soil and crops, it is essential to control the growth of organisms. This organic farming method uses natural or fewer chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides to protect soil and crops. 
Biological Pest Control This method uses living organisms with or without chemicals to control pests. 
Final Thoughts
Many Indian farmers use the above methods of organic farming in India. The practice is affordable as there is no expense of pesticides, fertilizers, or HYV seeds for crop plantation. Farmers can earn a good return on investment using local and inexpensive inputs.

A Beautiful Tour through Northeast India’s Greenery
Tumblr media
Greetings from North-East India, a region renowned for its breathtaking scenery, abundant cultural legacy, and unmatched variety. This area, which is tucked away in the Eastern Himalayan jungle, is a veritable gold mine of stunning scenery, colourful celebrations, and gracious people. 
North East India comprises eight states—Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura (commonly known as the “Seven Sisters”). Travellers seeking adventure, peace, and real cultural experiences will find that North East India, with its snow-capped peaks and lush tea gardens in Assam, offers a fully immersive experience.
Northeast India is renowned for its biodiversity. It is one of India’s two hotspots for biodiversity. This region is home to half of all known floral species in India and the abundance of orchids in the area’s woodlands is a significant feature. Eighty-six orchid species, or 70% of India’s total orchid flora, are found in the Northeast. Numerous biospheres, national parks, and animal sanctuaries have been established in the area to protect its biodiversity.
Come along with us as we venture into the unknown and unearth Northeast India’s amazing green treasures.
Kaziranga National Park, Assam
Tumblr media
Welcome to Kaziranga National Park, a gem of wildlife preservation tucked away in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. This national treasure flows through the powerful Brahmaputra River and has rich flora spread throughout its floodplains. It is home to the biggest number of one-horned rhinos on Earth. 
It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985 and appeals to both nature enthusiasts and curious travellers.
Take daytime or nighttime safaris to get a look at the magnificent Asiatic elephants, Royal Bengal Tigers, wild water buffalo, and leopards that live in this sanctuary. Having one of the biggest tiger populations in the world, it is also a certified tiger reserve. Guided tours guarantee that tourists get up close and personal with the rich biodiversity while ensuring environmental sustainability. Trekking is prohibited to protect the park’s fragile ecosystem.

Kokborok Day — Celebrating the Language of Tripura
Tumblr media
On 19th January, 1979, the state of Tripura declared Kokborok as it is official language. Every year, 19th January is observed as ‘Kokborok Day’ to commemorate the recognition. A range of activities are held on this day including cultural programmes and literary activities.
Kokborok is one of the ancient languages in the Northeastern region of India. The language can be traced back to the 1st Century AD in a book called Rajratnakar, a chronicle of Tripuri kings. Since then the language has seen a revival.
Since the 1980s, the language has been taught in schools of Tripura from the primary level to the higher secondary stage. A certificate course in Kokborok was also introduced at Tripura University in 1994, and subsequently, a post-graduate diploma followed in 2001. Kokborok was introduced in the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in the colleges affiliated with Tripura University from the year 2012, and a Masters of Arts (MA) degree in Kokborok was started by Tripura University from the year 2015.
Attempts have been made to include the language as one of the recognized official languages of India as per the 8th schedule of the Constitution.
In this article, we would like to celebrate Tripura, by looking at some of the amazing facts of the state.
It is the 5th Largest Tea Producer of India
There are 21 tea processing factories and 2500 small tea growers producing about 8.66 million kg of tea every year in Tripura, making it the fifth largest tea-producing state in India.
2. It has one of the highest literacy rates in India
Tripura has the fourth highest literacy rate in India, with 87.75% of the population being literate according to the 2011 census report. However, a state government survey puts the number at 94.65%. This enormous success has been credited to the works of state government, local NGOs and gram panchayats.
3. Home to Bamboos
Tripura has 21 species of Bamboo out of 130 species of Bamboo available in India, representing 28% of the country’s bamboo stock. It is used for building houses, handicrafts and as raw material for the Panchgram paper mill.
Tumblr media
Unakoti, aka Angkor Wat of the North-East, is a series of rock carvings, presenting the figures of various gods and goddesses. Unakoti literally means “one less one crore” or “koti” in Hindi. It was categorized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site tentative list in 2022.
5. Architectural Brilliance of Tripura
Unakoti is not the only marvel of architecture in Tripura. The state also has some brilliant structures like Neer Mahal (The Largest Water Palace in India), Matabari or Tripura Sundari (Shaktipeeth) Temple (500 Years Old Temple), and Ujjayanta Palace (built by Maharaja Radha Kishore Manikya in 1901).
Thank you for reading this article. Make sure to share this with all your friends and family members to give them a taste of the brilliance that resides in Tripura.
