To the east of Great Mount Meru is the city of Lord Indra - The God of heavens
To the south is the ghost city of the Lord of death
In other 2 directions are the cities of Lord Varun (Waterworld) and Lord of Moon
When there is day in one Pura, it is night in other.


FACT OF THE DAY
If Jagdish Chandra Bose had not made efforts to convince the west that TREES have Life, they might had never known this. He came to know this from Indian Scriptures.

Goddess Sita's views about plant in Ramayana 
In scriptures at many places, the trees are mentioned as having life. In one of they Myth Stories of Ramayana, Sita tries to explain her two sons - Luv & Kush that don't cut trees for wood. Only cut dry trees as they are dead. A green tree should not be cutted as they feel pain on cutting.
