The Pushpak Vimana is mentioned in the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana during Sita's kidnapping. Pushpak Viman had many such features that are difficult to find even in today's planes. But do you know who the plane belonged to? Let us tell you some facts about it today that you probably haven't heard before.
Pushpak Vimana was one of Ravana's most valuable assets. But how did Ravana get this plane? Those who look for science in mythological contexts believe that ancient Indian science flourished more than modern science.
How did Ravana get Pushpak Vimana?
Lord Vishwakarma built the Pushpak Vimana for Lord Brahma. Brahma Ji gave Kuber Pushpak Viman. When Ravana learned about this fantastic plane, he kidnapped Pushpak Vimana from his elder brother Kuber. After Ravana's death, Vibhishana became its overlord, and he again gave it to Kuber. Rama received it as a gift from Kuber. Ram arrived in Ayodhya by plane following Lanka's victory.
What are the features?
Pushpak Vimana was designed in the shape of a peacock. Mantras proved the existence of this plane. The Pushpak Vimana was a fighter aircraft described in the seventh chapter of Sunderkand (the Ramayana). This plane flew using the energy of air and fire. Pushpak Vimana's size could be reduced or increased due to its unique design. This aircraft used to deliver to the same location on the owner's request. Its speed was extremely high, and it could be kept moving in any direction the driver desired.
The aircraft was equipped with these facilities
It was an all-weather, air-conditioned (AC) plane. This plane is said to have gold pillars. Its steps were adorned with precious gems. Many cabins were also constructed there. In the vimana, there was a sapphire throne. This aircraft could fly at any time of day or night. Mantras helped to perfect Pushpak Vimana. The driver would then chant those mantras, and the plane would take off.
