 *अतिवर्षण, अतिवृष्टि* : बहुत अधिक वर्षा , Excessive or heavy rain

=======================

 🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ =======================

 *Calcium carbide* is also used in some countries for artificially ripening fruit. When calcium carbide comes in contact with moisture, it produces acetylene gas, which is similar in its effects to the natural ripening agent, ethylene. Acetylene accelerates the ripening process. Catalytic generators are used to produce ethylene gas simply and safely. Ethylene sensors can be used to precisely control the amount of gas. Covered fruit ripening bowls or bags are commercially available. These containers increase the amount of ethylene and carbon dioxide gases around the fruit, which promotes ripening.

Brahma often holds with one of his hands a book which symbolizes knowledge in the world. 

 *Swan* : Brahma is often seen riding a swan, his sacred vehicle for which he travels upon. The swan is a supposed to symbolize grace. Its called as “ *Hamsa Ksheera Nyaya* ”. Hamsa - Swan , Ksheera - Milk, and Nyaya - judgement/Justice/method/rules. Its believed that Hamsa (Swans) can separate milk from water and drink only milk.

Swan is always associated with glory, purity, affection, love, majesty and divinity.

Lord Brahma sits on a lotus flower. The significance of the lotus flower is that it rises from dirty soil and yet manages to stay pure and beautiful. Similarly, no matter where we are from, we should also stay pure and beautiful like the lotus flower, without letting our surroundings affect us.

Pushkar has the only Brahma temple in the world
