General knowledge

Mythology: in Greek myths, ambrosia was the food of the gods and nectar their drink, both giving immortality (like amrit in Indian mythology).

पौराणिक कथाओं में यूनानी मिथकों में ambrosia देवताओं का भोजन और nectar उनका पेय था, दोनों अमरता देने वाले (भारतीय पौराणिक कथाओं के अमृत की तरह)।
