<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - In the village of Godhra in the state of Gujarat, the tribes there invented a unique way to measure time by adopting their own clocks. The clock hands accelerate in the opposite direction, that is, from right to left, instead of the traditional direction from left to right. This way, the actual time is 11 AM, not 1 AM as in normal clocks. These traditional clocks only require changing the location of some numbers from 1 to 12</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>In the Indian village of Godhra, the clocks turn back</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> If you think that the movement of the clock hands in the opposite direction is against nature and the laws of physics, you should know that the residents of the village of Godhra in India consider their clocks to be the most natural for them, due to their belief that the Earth moves from right to left.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> They also see that the Moon revolves around the Earth counterclockwise, and even the vortex in the water goes from right to left. Based on these beliefs, the Godhra community considers any movement against the cycle of nature to be unlucky, and due to their deep respect for nature and its elements, they cannot make any movement against its direction.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In 2008, the village decided to start making its own clocks according to its rules, and the distinctive “Godra” clock became a focus of interest. At first, some considered it a fantasy, but it gradually turned into a reality and became a tourist attraction. Between 10 and 15 thousand watches were sold in less than two years, from 2018 to 2020, according to the Times of India website.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Read also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%87%D9%8A-%D9%8... is the story of the clock whose hands rotate in the opposite direction?</a></p>
