The March equinox or northward equinox is the equinox on the Earth when the subsolar point appears to leave the Southern Hemisphere and cross the celestial equator, heading northward as seen from Earth. The March equinox is known as the vernal equinox (spring equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and as the autumnal equinox (autumn equinox) or fall equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.

Kutch Museums Part 2
https://www.facebook.com/KutchMuseum/posts/976484545843756
Library and MUSEUMS are our direct mirror image reflections of our educational standards, as those are our main source of our supplementary source of information to our knowledge. Poor are those, poor will be our resources and lower the standards of our source and standards. So we need to update and upgrade our facilities for education and research. If we fail to do that, we will fail to reach to world class top standards.
Today we are going o discuss one of the Kutch Museum Specimen. This was captured and questioned about Since I captured statues from Kutch museum in 2012. I have been asking all museum curators and historians! Ultimately with reference to my library and picture records, I found the answers which I have been asking since then.
(FOR all Historians) This statue is marked VS 1300, With a Sanskrit INSCRIPTIONS at footsteps of statues. Is it from BHUJ STEPWELL (RAMKUND)
Though it looks on One it is not ! all three parts are joined to gathered in to look ONE, all three parts are different and from different places. Ex Curator said that as far he remembers it was Bottom part with inscription is from “Bai Rajba ni VAAV”. But in reality that is not a VaaV and there are no steps in that well. That was a Well near by Hatakeshwar Temple of Upalipad road of Bhuj. Where I was living in Government officer’s quarters near by the well.
And Epigraphia Indica is clearly saying that was collected from the Stepwell of BHUJ Itself. No matter where but the statue dated back to VS1300 -56 =1244 AD was existing well before Bhuj Sthapana day Magasar Sud/Vad5 VS 1605 -56 =1549 AD !! So as Bhuj was Eexisting before as well.
Yes I have captured in 2012, it is about Jain Tirthankar, there were 2 such marble statues but not seen CLEAR inscription (inscriptions are at bottom of statue) , and needs confirmation that is from Only Stepwell of Bhuj (Ramkund!) Marked 1300 VS , well before Bhuj history of establishment,
Similar another specimen of Kutch Museum is the Standing Buddha bras statue, has engraved at footstep. That we will discuss some other time !
A) Oldest Jain temple in Kutch during that period of VS1300 is Bhadreshwar , So some one might say that either the statue arrived from Bhadreshwar ! or may be from BHUJ itself.
B) If the statue is from Bhadreshwar , why and how it reach to STEPWELL of BHUJ?
C) If was that statue from Bhadreshwar ! Why an Indian Archaeological Survey wrote in EPIGRAPHIA INDICA as From STEPWELL of BHUJ. That could not be wrong as all records are from them including inscriptions of all Shilalekhs.
Wish now someone will do rest of the query work about this statue and records.
1) Indian Archaeology - inscription records in Epigraphia Indica , page underlined
2-3-4 ) stutue , foot step inscription and dated 1300 SANVANT

Triceratops prorsus (ceratopsian dinosaur) (Hell Creek Formation, Upper Cretaceous; Hell Creek, Montana, USA) 7
Triceratops prorsus Marsh, 1890 - ceratopsian dinosaur skeleton from the Cretaceous of Montana, USA. (CM 1219, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA)
Ceratopsians are the "horned dinosaurs". They were large, quadrupedal, herbivorous dinosaurs having a beaked skull and a frill - an extension of bone behind the skull that partially covered the neck. Ceratopsian dinosaurs are known from the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The last members of the group died out at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, 65 million years ago.
Exhibit signage:
Triceratops prorsus
"Straight-on three-horned face"
Triceratops lived late in the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era, about 68-66 million years ago.
Species Statistics
Classification: Dinosauria: Ornithischia: Marginocephalia: Ceratopsia: Ceratopsidae
Diet: Herbivorous
Distribution: North America: western U.S.A., southwestern Canada
Approximate Size
Height: up to 10 feet at the hips (3 meters)
Length: up to 28 feet (8.5 meters)
Weight: up to 7 tons (6,400 kilograms)
The well-known Triceratops was among the largest and last of the ceratopsians, or horned dinosaurs.
Ceratopsians thrived and diversified in North America for tens of millions of years after arriving from Asia during the Cretaceous. Near the end of this period, however, only a few species remained. By far, the most abundant of these was Triceratops. Fossils of this elephan-sized, three-horned herbivore are common in many areas of the western United States and Canada.
Triceratops shared its world with - and was often preyed upon by - the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex.
Characteristics
Long horns over eyes, short horn over nose - for display and defense.
Large, solid bony frill, probably for display and defense.
Powerful jaws and teeth to slice tough vegetation.
Parrot-like, toothless beak for cropping plants.
Skin covered in coarse scales and large bumps (tubercles).
Stout legs.
Toes end in hoof-like claws.
About This Specimen
Specimen Number: CM 1219
Found: Hell Creek, Montana (Hell Creek Formation)
Discovered by: William H. Utterback, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, 1904
The Name
By 1949, scientists had named 16 different species of Triceratops - but today's paleontologists think there are only two.
In 1996, horned dinosaur expert Catherine Forster used modern techniques to overhaul the classification of Triceratops. She concluded that only two of the 16 named species of this huge ceratopsian were legitimate - Triceratops horridus and the much rarer Triceratops prorsus. Carnegie Museum of Natural History's Triceratops is one of the best known specimens of T. prorsus. It has a relatively larger nose horn and shorter brow horns than skulls of T. horridus.
Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Reptilia, Archosauria, Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Marginocephalia, Ceratopsia, Ceratopsidae
Stratigraphy: Hell Creek Formation, Maastrichtian Stage, upper Upper Cretaceous
Locality: undisclosed site at or near Hell Creek, eastern Montana, USA
