‘It happens only in India…’
We’ve often heard people rant that India is a land of mysteries and wondered
where the notion came from. Well, we’ve finally got an answer for you! India
truly has zillions of secrets buried deep in its most bizarre of places, that either
leave people wide eyed with shock or freak them out when they learn about
them. From hills that pull cars up to motorbikes that are worshipped, India is
home to the most unusual of places. We’ve listed some of those mysterious
places in India here to tell you of the wonders this amazing country holds.
Among the 70 pillars at the site, one is hanging in mid-air, that is,
it exists without a support. People come to the temple and pass
objects under the pillar, believing it’ll bring prosperity into their
lives!
The Theory: People believe it’s just another of the many genius
tricks the temple builders of the old were capable of.
The Red Rain at Idukki, Kerala

The red coloured rain at Idukki first fell on 25th July, 2001, and occurred
sporadically for 2 months, staining clothes and buildings as it poured. This blood-
red downpour, when collected by the locals, turned into clean water with red
particles settled at the bottom.
The Theory: The scientists, after much analysis and debate, have zeroed in on
one explanation for this occurrence. They say that the red particles are
airborne spores of the locally growing alga in the region.
 The Place of Suicidal Birds in Jatinga, Assam

During dark and foggy nights in monsoons, migratory birds flying over the
village, dive headlong into trees, buildings, poles, and what nots, crashing to
death. Jatinga is one of those strange places to visit in India that turns into
a land of mass bird suicide every year during September & October.
The Theory: Ornithologists say that the dense fog and high altitude daze
birds because of which they end up crashing into trees and buildings. However,
there are many arguments that counter this theory.
 Once you set foot into this village, you’ll start seeing doubles of
almost everyone! Kodinhi is currently home to over 200 pair of
twins and two sets of triplets. And that’s not all! Kodinhi’s
women who are married outside the village also end up having
twins or triplets.
The Theory: Doctors believe that the reason for this strange
phenomenon lies in the chemicals of the water in the area.
The Mini Desert at Talakad, Karnataka
Located on the banks of river Kaveri, in the Chamarajanagar district of
Karnataka, lies a village buried deep in sand. Talakad is believed to have been
home to about 30 temples once, 5 of which are Lingams representing the 5 faces
of Lord Shiva.
The Mystery: It is believed that a widowed devotee of Lord Shiva had once
cursed the land, following which the village turned into this strange desert and
a mysterious place in India, where the river Kaveri mysteriously transforms into a
swirling whirlpool.
Pinpricks of light on the shore seem to mirror stars above in an undated picture taken
on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives.
The biological light, or bioluminescence, in the waves is the product of marine
microbes called phytoplankton—and now scientists think they know how some of
these life-forms create their brilliant blue glow.
Various species of phytoplankton are known to bioluminesce, and their lights can be
seen in oceans all around the world, said marine biologist and bioluminescence
expert Woodland Hastings of Harvard University.
