District names of #Odisha . An #etymology thread Image 1. Cuttack (Katak)
The word “Katak” etymologically means army cantonment. The city of Cuttack started as a military cantonment because of its impregnable situation that further developed into the capital of the state of Odisha. ImageImage

#RathaYatra #NiladriBije Thread 🧵
'Niladri Bije', the last ritual of the grand Rath Yatra will be celebrated today. As part of this divine occasion, Gods will be moved from the chariots to the Ratna Simhasana. This ritual is quite interesting coz of the anger of Maa Lakshmi, who is angry with Shree Jagannath who goes to the Gundicha Temple with his siblings for a day, and returns after a week. In spite of her visit on Hera Panchami, He did not expedite his return journey.

Many people, Hindus & otherwise, are discussing Hindusim for having 33 Crore Gods.

The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly.

Thread🧵 The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad - They are: 8-Vasu, 11-Rudra, and 12-Aaditya, 1-Indra and 1-Prajaapati.

Sum Total of it is 33
