What was the Speed of Travel in Lord Ramas Time?

Well.Tamilians celebrate diwali one day before the people from the Northern part of India...

So, the time it took to trvel from south to north was 24 hours..
I consider 2 hours of time for breakfast, lunch and dinner...Since, people of those times had no hotels to drop in for fastfood...

I am also not sure that the vimaanas of that time had bathroom...However, i am willing to ignore that time lost...

So,
Actual time of travel in the air=24- 2 hours of breakfast-2 hours of lunch-2 hours of dinner=18 hours
I assume that the battle of ramayana took place in the northern tip of sri lanka.. since story has it that the gates were right next to the ocean...

Distance from Sri lanka to Ayodhya =2100 Km

Average Speed of the Pushpaka Vimaaana = 2100 Km/ 18 hrs=116 Km/ hr

A quick comparison shows that the speed was equivalent to current transport system..

Remember the Ramayana Serial on TV...the speed they used to sindiacte for the pushpaka vimaana... it was too slow...probably


:)

The BOTTOM LINE is....


A VERY HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL OF YOU........
