The article explores the historical and cultural origins of the names 'Bharat' and 'India'. According to ancient traditions, the land was named 'Bharatvarsha' after King Bharata, the brave son of King Dushyanta and Shakuntala. While 'Bharat' reflects the indigenous heritage found in the Puranas and Mahabharata, the name 'India' is derived from the Indus River through ancient foreign influences. Today, the Indian Constitution recognizes both identities under Article 1 as 'India, that is Bharat'. https://www.esakal.com/ampstories/web-story/bharat-name-origin-history-king-bharata-chandravamsha-bharatvarsha-bharatkhand-india-name-origin-dushyanta-shakuntala-mahabharata-ancient-india-history-vsw03

The Shravana Amavasya is a significant day in Hindu tradition, known as Bhimana Amavasya or Hariyali Amavasya. It is an auspicious time for Shiva puja, ancestral rituals (Pitru Tarpan), and donations. While a solar eclipse occurs today from 9:04 PM, it won't be visible in India, so no ritual restrictions apply. Devotees believe that bathing in holy rivers, lighting lamps under Peepal trees, and performing Abhishekam to Lord Shiva can remove horoscope defects and bring prosperity. https://telugu.oneindia.com/jyotishyam/feature/hariyali-bheemana-amavasya-worship-lord-shiva-chant-om-namah-shivaya-and-donate-for-blessings-501231.html

However, they are not liable for losses caused by natural calamities like floods or earthquakes.
