THE 15TH FEB/26TH OCT SUNRISE IN PUNKRI BURWADIH MEGALITHS
by Subhashis Das
Punkri Burwadih is a wonder…not only because it is a wonderful megalith 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.
This is a deliberate placement as the left edge of “A” is aligned to the sunrises of 15th Feb/26th Oct (also known to scholars as Calendrcial Intervals 10.5 and 15.5 respectively according to the so called Megalithic Calendar)
The length of the stone ‘A’ too has been so accurately made that standing at the right rim of the stone ‘A’ one can see the sunrises on 26th Feb/15/16th Oct (known in the so called megalithic calendar as CI 10 and 16) through the gap between the two menhirs.
