Mahabharata Events Verified Timeline Some Issues

I have posted the Ramayana Timeline verified by astronomical data.

To corroborate that further I shall posting articles with Archelogical, Zoological evidence apart from references from Indian and Foreign literature.

After I posted on Ramayana Dateline, I have been asked to write on Mahabharata on similar lines.

This is a minefield.

One has to be remeber that Ramayana had taken place in Treta Youga while the Mahabharata took place in the Dwapara Yuga.

Treta Yuga lasted for 1,296,000 years and the duration of the Dvāpara-yuga is 864,000 years.

Mahabharata War took place towards the close of the Dwapara Yuga.

Vibhishana Married Mandodari Ramayana

There are various versions of the Ramayana.

There are some variations in the narrations among them.

Most notable among them, I thought was the one, which states that it was not the real Sita but Maya Sita.

But, Mandodari, who is considered to be a Chaste woman and kept on par with Arundhathi, Vasishta's wife as a model of Faithful wives got married to Vibhishana, after Ravanas' death, at the instance of Lord Rama.

This is from the Rama charita Manas by Tulsidas.

Mandodari was considered as one among the Pachkanya who were known for their chastity.
