Maharshi Kapila was not only the first philosopher of the world but also the inventor of algebra and geometry.

Anandanagar,is a land without time, a place where it's sweet and mystic beauty stands as a witness for the human drama of existence.   Living in one of the forgotten areas of India, the lives here move around basic rural activities.
