5/6 Notes: Till very recently I used to mistake battle formation PADMAVYUHA to be same as CHAKRAVYUHA. Now I knw there r many types of Vyuha (formations), will post a link in the tweet below. Pic 1: Padma Vyuha, Pic 2 & 3 ChakraVyuha.
6/6 Here’s an article frm http://Mahabhartaresearch.com , which describes diff types of battle formations frm Mahabharta. Worth reading!!!

I hv bn brainstorming snippets of Mahabharta with some of my frens since last few days. Sometimes I feel every page of Mahabharta (original version written by Rishi Vyas) can produce tons of research material.
Forgot to add: I stumbled upon the above pics when one of my frens shared a FB link where @BabaEinsteindev hd posted these pics.
Since I mentioned jet packs on Narada Muni, I thot I shld show the audience here this video by @PraveenMohanET.
Its abt a carving in #Ellora temple, where RAVANA has a Jetpack strapped on his back. Believe it or not!!! Here’s the video>>>
