Today a strange thought struck me. I have always wondered about the Mahabarath and the various hi-tech aspects found in that great epic. I have written about a few in my blog too. Nuclear weapons, test tube baby concept, teleporting are some to name just a few. In that context, I wish to present a new idea about the great "Indraprastha Palace" built by "Mayaasura". He was a great architect of the netherworld. Those who know the epic can very well understand that the stunning architecture of the palace was the cause for Duryodhana's jealousy and it was the root cause of the gambling game and the vigorous war that followed later.

Indraprastha palace was built with lots of inbuilt illusions. One important illusion was, places which had pools did not look like that and places which had no water resembled vast watery structure. Okay... this may sound crazy for people.... It may also sound like nothing to people who believe that this great epic is nothing but fiction. But for those who believe that this epic is a real history which happened long before, this idea will really bring out a different dimension. Was there a hi-tech architecture technology used?? Let us explore....
Here are few modern day restroom designs built with the help of 3D technology. Now that we see these designs, we come to know that it is a possibility. But imagine..... 10-20 years ago, if someone had said this, what would have happened??? we would have laughed... isn't it? Look at this youtube clip.
http://www.decorpuzzle.com/2015/05/3d-bathroom-floor-murals-self-leveling-floors.html provides awesome designs for restroom floors. You can also google "3D restrooms" and find excellent pictures. In modern days, 3D technology is successfully employed in architecture industry.

After seeing these, can we find a connection between this 3D architecture and the Illusion-embedded Indraprastha Palace?? Recollect the story... why can't the make believe pools be built with such advanced technology? If nuclear weapons and test tube concepts existed during Mahabarath time, why can't advanced technology in architecture??? As told before, for non-believers, this is just a crazy thought. But for believers, I am sure that this will provide better insight. Thank you all for reading.

Same though struck to me when I started watching Mahabharat Serials once again. Earlier when it was streamed on Doordarshan none of us were aware about the use of 3D technology on floors but now that we have seen so many videos about it , we know about such technologies which make our floor live with fish and rivers. So, this thought came to my mind that they must have used similar technology those days.
