DIAMOND MINES OF INDIA<br />
India is famous for its diamonds, gems and<br />
jewels. From the earliest times, we find jewels closely<br />
related to Royalty. If you turn to the Puranas, the<br />
pre-historic accounts of India's deities and kings from<br />
the ancient times, you will find reference being made<br />
to various jewels worn by the deities described in<br />
beautiful prose and poetry. Turn to the two epics of<br />
the Hindus; the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, and<br />
you will find court descriptions and pen-portraits of<br />
Lord Krishna, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, Lord<br />
Rama, his brothers and Ravana, replete with accounts<br />
of the various jewels which they wore. In fact, every<br />
account of any deity or a king or a queen, wherever<br />
fouPd in the earliest Scriptures of the Hindus, gives<br />
dt>Lailed accounts of their pearl-necklaces, diamond<br />
ear-rings and jewel-bedecked swords.
