Punkri Burwadih is a wonder…not only because it is a wonderful megalithic siite but
because it is a megalith which reveals the ancients’ precise understanding of horizon astronomy and also of the transits of the sun.
Each stone here is positioned in alignment to prime peaks or notches of the
surrounding hills, mathematical ratios and even to major sunrises and
sets. A small stone ‘A’ which has been made to function as a pointer, is arranged in a
North-South position to the west of a larger menhir. This stone is placed
is such a manner that it is linear to the crevice between the two larger
menhirs which faces the mid-winter sunrise.
