Eruption of The Volcanic Hill
As per epic Mahabharat, in Vanparv, eruption of this Hill had taken place in the beginning of Treta Yug. This fact was described by the Guru Shaunak, who had accompnied Pandavs during their agyaatwas visit to this hill some 5100 years ago. Lava in solidified condition can still be seen on the hill on one side. It cannot be millions of years old. Physical conditions and Pictures of lava show that description in epic 'Mahabharat' is more appropriate. As per further descriptions in the epic, the Hill has remained revered all the times since 'appearing' or erupting, as it was inhabited by respected Rishis and Munis, who contributed to Vedic Sanskriti books. Guru Shaunak gave an approximate period of eruption of this hill as Treta Yug, some 9-10,000 years ago. An analysis and dating of Lava scientifically can give the finer time and period of eruption of this hill.
