In this hundredth year of the existence of the General Theory of Relative an attempt has been made to highlight and outline the basic facts of this ingenious theory developed around intricate and complex mathematical derivations, in a simple and popular way as far as practicable, for the general readers. Mainly the physical ideas and facts obtained from the theory along with its application in the cosmic world to achieve the goal of its experimental validation has been discussed. The failure of general relativity to accommodate quantum theory and its consequences has also been touched.
