LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

4. Q2 After the Kurukshetra war ended, on the advice of sage Ved Vyasa, the Pandavas decided
to ask Lord Shiva for forgiveness for killing their kin during the war. However, Lord Shiva,
not wanting to forgive them, turned into a bull and hid among the cattle on the hill. On
being tracked, he dived head first into the ground, but got his tail caught by one of the five
brothers. The Pandavas then built a temple there.
The portions of Lord Shiva’s body later appeared at four different places, with the head
of the bull appearing at Y. A temple was built there, the name of which translates to
“Lord of the Animals” .
Name both the temples.

Q5
14. Q7 This village is located in the Unnao District of Uttar Pradesh and residents say that it
gets its name from an individual who died there. According to Munna Lal Pandey, a former
Pradhan of the village, the 19th century British Gazetteer also spoke of a stone statue of
the individual which lay there. After his death near the bank of a lake while filling water,
a prophecy was pronounced which would go on to be true some time later.
Which individual from the world of Indian mythology supposedly died at this spot, leading to
the name of this village?
16. Q8 Imitation of styles has seldom been this fatal. This character from Hindu mythology learnt
it the hard way, when he went about imitating Lord Krishna , fitting himself with 2 extra
imitation arms, painting himself blue, and carrying the conch, lotus, chakra and mace as
Krishna did. Krishna got bugged and had his head off.
Who?
18. Q9 The Matsya Puranas tells a story about the frequent wars between Devas and Asuras, in
which the Devas frequently ended up winning. Humiliated, X, the guru of Asuras decided to
approach Shiva. He, meanwhile asked Asuras to take refuge at the ashram of his father
Y.
Devas found the absence of the guru an opportune time to attack the Asuras once again.
However, Y was also away when they were attacked, hence Asuras sought his wife’s help.
Using her powers, she rendered Indra immobile, who in turn asked Lord Vishnu for help.
Lord Vishnu severed her head using his Sudarshan chakra. Enraged by his wife’s death, Y
cursed Lord Vishnu to be born on Earth several times and suffer the pain of the worldly
life.
ID X and Y,
20. Q10 Nataraja is the description of Lord Shiva as the divine dancer. He is depicted standing on
silhouette of a tiny humanoid X, who is believed to be a representation of ignorance and the
disease Y.
X is destined immortality, and can’t be killed in order to ensure the knowledge in the world is
preserved. Killing him would mean attaining knowledge without any dedication and effort, thus
devaluing knowledge in all its forms. To subdue X, Lord Shiva incarnates as Sri Nataraja. He
performs the cosmic Tandava Nitraya and suppresses X under his right foot. To subdue him
forever, Lord Shiva remain in his Nataraja form for eternity.
According to Ayurveda, X also relates to a chronic neurological disorder, Y.
ID X and Y.

of valour during wartime’. On obverse, the National Emblem appears in the centre surrounded
by four copies of the weapon X.
According to Puranas, the devas were once driven out of devalok by an asura.
The asura was the recipient of a boon that any weapon made before he got t
that boon, be it of metal or wood will do him no harm. Thus, on the advice of
Lord Vishnu, a weapon was made from the spine of a sage, which was then
used to kill the asura.
It is also used in Buddhism and Jainism, often to represent firmness of spirit
and spiritual power.
ID X.
26. Q13 Wat Phra Kaew ( meaning Temple of the Emerald
Buddha) is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist
temple (wat) in Thailand. It is a "potent religio-political
symbol and the palladium (in protective sense) of Thai
society“.
The sculpture (on the left) stands as guardian of this
temple. Which mythological figure is it a representation
of?
28. Q14 “Once lord Shiva was going to Varanasi along with one crore god and goddesses including
him. On the way they thought of taking rest and shelter on this hill for the night. Before
going to bed Lord Shiva strictly warned them to get up at dawn before the sun rises and
leave for Varanasi. The following morning only Lord Shiva got up and nobody else woke up.
In anger Lord Shiva cursed them to become stone sculptures or images and stay there
forever. Since then there have been one less than a crore stone sculptures on the hill.”
So is the legend associated with this ancient
Shaivite place of worship with huge rock- cut
images and stone idols - It is the prime tourist
spot of Tripura. Name this place, whose literal
meaning is, one less a crore in Bengali .
30. Q15 It is said that Indra once killed a demon, even if he had not caused any harm to anyone.
So he was cursed for this sin which was thought unredeemable. He was freed from being a
wanderer by the power of a Shiva lingam in a forest, which was later developed into a
temple by a Pandya King. This Pandya King was childless and so Shiva gave him darshan
and granted him boons. So was born an Ayojina girl (not from the womb), who had eyes
shaped like that of a fish.
