This was my umpteenth visit to the megaliths of Punkri Burwadih. The 23 km journey from Hazaribagh through dense Sal forests on the either sides, winding roads through ghatis like the Lohsigna and Likhlahi to the megaliths heals you.

| Dense Saal trees dot the either side of the highway to the Punkri Burwadih |
Arriving at the plains you spot the standing stones from a distance, beckoning at you. You cannot resist rushing towards them.
 |
| ...amidst the ancient stones |
Wonder how many times I have been here alone among the stones. I sit silently and the overpowering energy of the ancient stones gets you. You wonder how things may have had been thousands of years ago when they created this ancient megalithic site? Who were they with such understanding of the sky, the horizon, mathematics, astronomy and geodetics?

| These palm trees are to the South of the megaliths and the Mahudi Hills are at the background. |
You search for an answer as you gaze all around; the encircling hills, the tall palms, and the soft whispering breeze…if this is not then heaven then what is…you question yourself ?
