| Abstract | This is one of the first scientific investigations on lightning current and voltage distribution along Buddhist Stupa in Sri Lanka and elsewhere. Such distribution provide vital information on lightning safety concerns of people and objects outside the structure as the building is totally sealed. The metal casket of which the block of quartz is installed at the pinnacle of the Stupa, may act as the point of interception with lightning stepped leader. Large hemi-spherically symmetric outer structure of the Stupa causes uniform distribution of current over its surface. Such distribution yields very low current density thus possibilities of side flashing or localized heating are minimized. Structure of the Stupa was analyzed as a collection of lumped circuit elements using MatLab and SimuLink software to show that there will be no dangerous potentials developed within possible arcing range to the surrounding, in the application of impulse current. Thinly distributed current, driven into the deeply laid foundation of the structure, prevents development of significant step potentials in the vicinity that could pose danger to the devotees. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
