Pancharatna (architecture)
''Ratna Style'' () is a style of Bengal temple architecture, that originated in Bengal from the 15th to 16th centuries, under the Mallabhum kingdom (also called Malla dynasty). Originating as a regional style in Hindu temple architecture. It is an extended style of the ''Chala'' temple. The special feature of ''Ratna-style'' temples is the curved cornice of the ''chala''. ''Ratna-style'' temples were built all over Bengal. But most of the temples are found in the city of Bishnupur. In the present day, the temples are now located in two separate national territories: the Indian states of West Bengal and Tripura, and Bangladesh. Etymology ''Ratna-style'' temples have one or more towers or pinnacles above the curved roof. These pinnacles are known as ''Ratna'' (jewel) in Bengal temple architecture. This temple architectural style derives its name from these pinnacle (ratna). History The ratna style came up in the 15th-16th century.McCutchion, David J., ''Late Mediaeval Tem ...

Pancharatnam-Berry Phase
In classical and quantum mechanics, geometric phase is a phase difference acquired over the course of a cycle, when a system is subjected to cyclic adiabatic processes, which results from the geometrical properties of the parameter space of the Hamiltonian. The phenomenon was independently discovered by S. Pancharatnam (1956), in classical optics and by H. C. Longuet-Higgins (1958)See page 12 in molecular physics; it was generalized by Michael Berry in (1984). It is also known as the Pancharatnam–Berry phase, Pancharatnam phase, or Berry phase. It can be seen in the conical intersection of potential energy surfaces and in the Aharonov–Bohm effect. Geometric phase around the conical intersection involving the ground electronic state of the C6H3F3+ molecular ion is discussed on pages 385–386 of the textbook by Bunker and Jensen. In the case of the Aharonov–Bohm effect, the adiabatic parameter is the magnetic field enclosed by two interference paths, and it is c ...

Pancharātra
''Pancharātra'' is a Sanskrit drama written by Bhasa. The plot is based on the Hindu epic ''Mahabharata''. The play takes its name from the period of five nights referred in the plot. Pancha(५) means Five(5) and Raatra means nights. The Pandavas were roaming in the forest for twelve years. Dronacharya who was the teacher of both the pandavas and kauravas knew Duryodhana's (leader of kauravas) reluctance to give the land to the Pandavas. He predicted a war and to avoid such a calamity he was looking for an opportunity. So he asked Duryadhona to perform sacrifice and at the sacrifice, Duryadhona took a bath and asked for gurudakshini (the act of repaying one's guru). Drona cleverly demanded half of the land for the Pandavas. Duryadhona agreed but on one condition that he would provide him with the whereabouts about the pandavas within five nights. Drona agreed and was successful and hence half of the kingdom was handed to the pandavas. See also * Sanskrit literature * Sanskrit ...
