Vimana

Vimāna is a mythological flying palace or chariot described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics. The Pushpaka Vimana of the demon king Ravana is the most quoted example of a vimana. Vimanas are also found in Jain texts.
==Etymology==

The Sanskrit word ''vi-māna'' (विमान) literally means "measuring out, traversing" or "having been measured out". Monier Monier-Williams defines Vimana as "a car or a chariot of the gods, any mythical self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high", and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any car or vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories.〔(Monier-Williams, ''Sanskrit-English Dictionary'' )〕 In some modern Indian languages like Hindi, ''vimana'' means "aircraft", for example in the town name Vimanapura (a suburb of Bangalore). In another context, Vimana is a feature in Hindu temple architecture.
