Periodic fortnightly visits were carried out to determine the species composition and distribution pattern of birds, phytoplankton and zooplankton. A total number of17 species of birds belonging to 9 orders (Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Ciconiformes, Coraciifomes, Cuculiformes, Gruiformes, Passeriformes, Pelecaniformes and Psittaciformes) were identified in the study area. Charadriiformes was the most dominant order. The study revealed the presences of 18 species of phytoplankton belonging to Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae. Bacillariophyceae having 7 species was found to be dominant among all. In case of zooplankton, 11 species were encountered of which 7 were Rotifers, 3 were Cladocera and 1 was Copepoda. Thus Rotifers represented the maximum number of species among zooplankton. Key words: Biodiversity, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Village ponds, Hisar INTRODUCTION world’s flora and fauna respectively.

  • BRAHMA SAROVAR, KURUKSHETRA” Tadi Praveen1, Baldev Setia2 1,2Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Kurukshetra (India)
    NECESSITY OF MAINTAININGWATER QUALITY STANDARDS OF HOLY WATER BODIES: A CASE STUDY “BRAHMA SAROVAR, KURUKSHETRA” Tadi Praveen1, Baldev Setia2 1,2Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Kurukshetra (India) ABSTRACT The present study is to bring into notice the importance of maintaining proper water quality standards of holy water bodies taking one such holy water body as a case study. Water samples were collected and were being tested for certain water quality parameters. The results revealed that the samples were unable to reach the required standards which is harmful to human skin. So, there is a great necessity to look over the problem and provide proper alternative to avoid deterioration of water quality and protect deities from illness. Keywords: Holy water bodies, sample testing, water quality parameters, water quality standards. I.INTRODUCTION The practice of Hinduism encompasses a wide variety of believes. Hindus believe that Hinduism is all about the importance of cleanliness and well-being and it is also believed that water is having those spiritually cleansing powers. This belief had given rise to a consideration of construction of holy water bodies in association with most of the temples in India. These holy water bodies have their immense value in terms of religious aspects, as people are associated emotionally and spiritually with them. This religious association leads millions of people to take holy bath and perform Achaman(drinking water) on special days of every month. As per WHO [1]almost 80% of all the diseases in human bodies is caused by water, so regular monitoring of quality of water must be carried out.

  • About Solar Eclipse at Kurukshetra
    About Solar Eclipse at Kurukshetra Kurukshetra is referred as the “Pilgrimage par excellence”. Since times immemorial there has been constant influx of pilgrims to this sacred land. One of the most popular reasons for a pilgrimage to Kurukshetra is to attain the highest merit by taking a holy dip in the sacred tanks of Braham Sarovar and Sannehit Sarovar and thereby attaining ‘Moksha’ or salvation. According to Matsya, Vamana and Padma Purans, if an individual takes a holy dip in the sacred tanks of Kurukshetra on the occasion of Solar Eclipse he attains the merits of thousands of Ashvamedha Yajna. On the occasion of Somavati Amavasya (First day of the new moon falling on Monday) and on Solar Eclipse (on a new moon day as the moon comes in between Sun and Earth, thereby causing eclipse of the Sun) pilgrims from all walks of life assemble at these holy tanks. The age old celebration of this occasion also suggests the astronomical knowledge that was known to the ancient Indians, about this celestial wonder. The Mahabharata connects the eclipses of the Sun and the Moon to the episodes of the churning of the ocean, when the ambrosia pot was carried by Vishnu in the form of Mohini, who started distributing it to the gods. Rahu, a demon sat in line with the Devas and also took ambrosia. When the ambrosia had already reached the throat of Rahu, Surya and Chandrama, both recognized the demon and informed the gods of his impersonation / Lord Vishnu, immediately with his chakra cut off the well adorned head of Rahu.
