💨 Abstract

The Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka, India, were not only a treasure trove for ancient kings and British colonizers but also a site for groundbreaking particle physics experiments. Top physicists conducted complex experiments here, resulting in the first detection of neutrinos in 1965, published on Independence Day. These mines, 100 kilometers from Bengaluru, are the world's second deepest.
