Discovered in 1974 by an American satellite, the island grew substantially in size owing to silt deposits by flooding rivers. Both the nations claimed the territory and no solution was found until in 2010, when because of a specific natural cause the dispute ended in a rather dramatic way as none of the nations could claim it. What had happened?

Legends come true!
Baba Sain Mir Mohammed Sahib, a famous Sufi Saint was invited to lay the foundation stone of this celebrated
structure.
According
to legends, the mason picked up the stone to place it in a straight line.
When the man responsible for the construction of this structure saw this, he
chided the mason and said, 'How can you change what a true man of God, a true
dervish, has decided? Because of what you have done, the foundation will always be shaky'.
Subsequent
attacks on the structure corroborate and verify this apprehension and forecast. Which famous structure
are we talking about?

It helps to alleviate mental stress and anxiety and is therefore used to assist the practitioner in achieving focus and coming into a meditative state.
The physical execution of the pose helps to promote flexibility in the hands, wrists, fingers and arms.
What is this gesture?
