Answer 1

Answer:

Rig Veda - It is the oldest veda. It is divided into 10 mandals and contains 1028 hymns. These hymns are in praise of Gods and Goddesses, like Indra, Varun, Agni, Abha, etc. These hymns are composed in Vedic Sanskrit.

Megaliths - The term literally means ‘big stone’. In many places like the Deccan, south India, north-east and Kashmir, huge stone boulders arranged in circular patterns have been found. They were perhaps used to denote a burial sites or graves. These stone boulders are known as megaliths.

Answer 2

• The Rigveda is the oldest of the Vedas. It indicates over a thousand hymns in Vedic (old) Sanskrit. These hymns (called 'Sukta' - well said) are in praise of various gods and goddesses, mainly: Agni, Indra and Soma. These hymns were composed by sages, who learnt them and made their children learn.
• Megaliths are stone boulders used to mark burial sites. Some megaliths are seen on surface and some are underground. Sometimes a circle of stone boulders or a single large stone is found standing on the ground, to indicate the position of burials.
