A flight of steps and a motorable road lead to the temple.
The sanctum houses the symbol of the Goddess and it also has some finely carved ancient relief sculptures.

Legend.
“The city derived its name from the demon, Gayasur who is said to have resided in this area.
It is said that Lord Vishnu killed the demon by crushing him under his feet. On his being crushed, the demon got transformed into numerous rocky hills that form the topography of the city today.
Then the deities decided to sit over the dead demon and that is the reason why one can find numerous temples over these surrounding rocky hills.
It is said that any one who touched him or looked at him were fred of all sins.
Mangla Gauri, Rama Shila, Brahmayoni and Shringa Sthan are the places where one can find temples on the hill tops and which comprise of the pilgrimage circuit of the city.
The Mangla Gauri shrine in Gaya, one of the most holy sites has two rounded stones which symbolizes the breasts of the Goddess Sati, who is regarded as the first wife of Lord Shiva.
Vishnu pad Temple is marked by a footprint of Vishnu.
This footprint is the significance of the act of Lord Vishnu crushing Gayasur under his foot.
However there are signs that show up which might indicate Cancer,
These symptoms need not indicate the presence of cancer,; they might indicate some other Disese as well.
Please remember, the conclusion that the symptoms and tests are arrived at by the reverse Logic, which is not admissible strictly in Logic and Reasoning.
That is it is not that these indicators and the results are the causes of Cancer.

Most of the Cancer patients, at least those who have been surveyed, have all or some of these symptoms .
Some may not have these symptoms at all and some symtoms not known to us may be present.
That’s all.
Then why take these Tests and these symptoms seriously?
These are in the nature of abundant precaution.
That is very important.
The Doctors/Oncologists , with their experience can detect if it is indicative of malignancy and treat you accordingly.
Sad that some use this to make money by instilling fear in the patient.
Now to the Tests for early detection.
Again I emphasize two facts.
1.The parameters of the Test are not uniform.
They vary.
For example , the parameters for Alkaline Phosphate Level varies from Lab to Lab.
”
The normal range is 44 to 147 IU/L (international units per liter).
Normal values may vary slightly from laboratory to laboratory. They also can vary with age and gender. High levels of ALP are normally seen in children undergoing growth spurts and in pregnant women.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Labs parameters say 44-120!”
So when one gets a reading at 149 he is scared.
Under these circumstances it is best to consult a Liver specialist and an Oncologist and have second opinions on both.
2.The results in the Tests may be due to some other normal activity or the side effect of a prescribed Drug intake.
In the case of Alkaline Phosphate, the elevated reading might be due to the intake some medicines or due to excessive Exercise which increases the Alkaline Phosphate Level.
So do not jump to conclusions and take the advice of Doctors and get a second opinion before drugging yourself.
For the benefit of laymen like me, I am posting some tests needed to detect cancer.
Remember I am no Doctor or a specialist; the post is to familiarities the Patient and those close to him so that they do not become unduly worried or to prevent some nonprofessionals from milking you.

A complete blood count (CBC) is a common blood test that is used to help diagnose some blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, tell if a cancer has spread to the bone marrow, and help determine how your body is tolerating cancer treatments. If you are being treated with chemotherapy, your doctor will likely monitor your blood cell counts regularly using CBCs.
A CBC provides important information about the amount of three types of cells in your blood: white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Each of these measurements has a normal range that will be noted on your CBC. Typical test values are given as a range (called a reference range) instead of a specific number because they vary from person to person.
White blood cell (WBC) count. A white blood cell count, also called a leukocyte count, measures the number of WBCs in a sample of blood. WBCs protect the body from infection by attacking invading bacteria, viruses, and other foreign materials in the body. Some WBCs can also attack cancer cells. A normal range for a WBC count is 3,300 to 8,700 WBCs per microliter (mcL).
White blood cell (WBC) differential. A WBC differential is a test that measures the number of each type of WBC. There are five major types of WBCs: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Each type of cell plays a different role in protecting the body and helping you stay healthy. People with some types of cancer may have higher-than-normal numbers of lymphocytes or monocytes.
Some cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy, may cause a decrease in your body’s WBCs. Cancers that affect the blood and bone marrow, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, can cause a decrease in the WBC count. These cancers and cancer treatments may cause a condition called neutropenia, an abnormally low level of neutrophils. Neutrophils are measured by a number called the absolute neutrophil count (ANC). A normal ANC range is 2,500 to 6,000 neutrophils.
A noticeable decrease in the number of neutrophils increases the chances of developing a bacterial infection. At times, your doctor may choose to lower the dose of chemotherapy you receive to decrease your chance of developing low neutrophil counts. Your doctor may also recommend medication, such as white blood cell growth factors, to increase your body’s production of neutrophils, especially if you develop a fever. Learn more about ASCO’s recommendations for white blood cell growth factors.
Red blood cell (RBC) count.RBCs carry oxygen throughout your body, and the number of RBCs can be described in a few different ways. An RBC count, also called an erythrocyte count, measures the number of RBCs in a sample of blood. A normal range for an RBC count is approximately 4 to 6 million RBCs per mcL. The hematocrit is the percentage of your blood that is made up of RBCs. A normal hematocrit range is 38% to 48%. The hemoglobin (HgB) level measures the amount of the protein in RBCs that actually carries the oxygen. If the level of hemoglobin is low, your body works much harder to deliver oxygen to tissues throughout the body. A normal HgB range is 12.6 to 16.1 grams per deciliter.
Some cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy and radiation therapy, may cause a decrease in your body’s RBCs. This condition is known as anemia. Blood loss, either from surgery or from specific cancers, can also cause or worsen anemia. Cancers that directly involve the bone marrow, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, can also interfere with the production of RBCs and cause anemia. People whose RBC count falls too low may need a blood transfusion or medication to help increase the body’s RBCs.
Platelet count. A platelet count measures the number of platelets in a sample of blood. Platelets help to stop bleeding by forming blood clots. A normal range for a platelet count is approximately 150,000 to 350,000 platelets per mcL.
Some cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, may cause a decrease in platelets, which may result in a condition called thrombocytopenia. Cancers that involve the bone marrow directly, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, can also cause a decrease in the production of platelets. Patients with low platelet levels have a greater risk of serious bleeding or bruising. If your platelet count falls to very low levels, your doctor may give you platelet transfusions.
What the results mean
Blood test results must be interpreted carefully by your doctor and other members of your health care team. Keep in mind that many factors, including noncancerous conditions, can lead to results that fall out of the reference range. In addition, neutrophil and platelet counts have to fall to very low levels before infections and bleeding become major risks. Ask your doctor to help you be”

There is a lot of talk about the Occupation of Crimea by Russia and the referendum in Crimea to join The Russian Federation.
The West, led by, as usual by the US, followed ardently by the Third World Countries, have joined the Chorus and threaten the Russian Federation with Economic Sanctions and ostracizing of Russia.

““You just don’t, in the 21st century, behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped-up pretext”, he pontificated on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”_John Kerry, US Secretary of State
Who invaded Kuwait and Iraq?
I had a call from my grandson in Sweden and we got to talking about Crimea issue.
In tune with the common perception he expressed his opinion that Russia must leave Crimea.
Such is the disinformation by the Media that the History of Crimea is swept under the carpet.
Loot any hotspot of Terrorism or Territorial issues, you shall find Britain being the culprit for the present confusion.
Palestine,Sri Lanka,India,Pakistan.
They occupied these lands and when the conditions became too hot for them to handle, they complicated the issue by playing both sides of the coin and left the place in a mess to be sort out by what remained of a Country.
Before the Vote in the UN for granting Statehood to the Jews, while leaving Palestine, Britain promised both the Arabs and the Jews Palestine!
Today none can sort the Palestine issue and in the process we have millions of Stateless people in Palestine.
In Srilanka they played the same game with the Tamils and the Sinhalese on the one hand and on the other among the Tamils of the North,of Estate workers and Muslims.
We know what has happened in Lanka and what is happening now.
India , a double game was played by inciting Jinnah and the animosity between India and Pakistan shows no signs of abating.
Crimea was once again a site of conflict in 2014, when the region reacted negatively to the Euromaidan revolution in Kiev and came under Russian Federation control. Ukraine continues to claim Crimea as an integral part of its territory.”
The Right to Sovereignty is based on three counts.
1.Those who have been living in the land for the most time.
2.In case of invasions, at the time of settlement, the one who has been occupying the place or if there is a contention with the one who happened to a winner in the War and,the one who held the place for a longer period of time, gets the land/Country.
3.As Democratic system has come into vogue, it is to be decided by a Referendum by the people of this country.
By the standard of having controlled Crimea more number of years after Romans nad Ottoman Empire, both are extinct now, Russia has the Right.
Most importantly the people of Crimea have voted for joining Russia.
“A fraction under 97% voted to cede to Russia, with a turnout of over 80% – an electoral enthusiasm of which Western governments could only dream.”
What is Illegal here?
The Illegality is with he US and those who nod with the US as if they have Parkinson’s for the their greed to get a foothold for Oil in Ukraine and other Territories nearby , including the Black sea.
