Bhitargaon
Bhitargaon is a town in Kanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, India, known for its ancient Hindu temple, the largest Indian brick temple to survive from the time of the Gupta Empire. Despite being heavily restored, a number of original features remain. It is dated to the late 5th century.
The Bhitargaon Temple is a terraced brick building fronted with a terracotta panel. Built in the 5th century during the Gupta period, it is the oldest remaining brick/terracotta Hindu shrine with a roof and a high shikhara, though its upper chamber did sustain some damage in the 18th century.
The temple is built on a square plan with double-recessed corners and faces east. There is a tall pyramidal spire over the garbhagriha. The walls are decorated with terracotta panels depicting aquatic monsters, Shiva and Vishnu etc. When Alexander Cunningham first visited the site, the remains of the porch and of the ardhamandapa were still visible, which later collapsed.

Beautiful Hindu Goddess - But not in India !
The highest Murti of Dewi Danu in Indonesia standing majestically beside Lake Batur at Songan Village, Kintamani.
Dewi Danu is the water goddess of the Balinese Hindus. She is one of two supreme deities in the Balinese tradition.

Amazing architecture of Shore Temple, Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu.
Shore Temple is so named because it overlooks the Bay of Bengal. It is located near Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India.

Our Ancients are Calling but are we listening ?
Three huge and perhaps the biggest Shivlings of ancient times lay forgotten and unattended in Kashmir, waiting for revival of their lost glory.
A thread diving deep into their History coming soon on kashmir... Friends

सूर्य मंदिर (कोणार्क - उड़ीसा)
इस मंदिर का निर्माण गंग वंश के राजा नृसिंह देव ने करवाया। यह मंदिर कलिंग शैली का है।

भारतीय स्थापत्य कला/वास्तुकला का अद्भुत नमूना.....
मात्र एक भी गलती से नक्काशी टूट सकती थी
हाँ, उस समय मशीन भी नहीं थी। क्या सचमुच मशीन नहीं थी या वामपंथी इतिहासकारों ने झूठ बोला? क्या उन्होंने इसलिए झूठ बोला कि हम भारतीय अपनी प्राचीन संस्कृति पर गर्व ना कर सकें ?
भारत का इतिहास ज्यादातर वामपंथी इतिहासकारों ने ही लिखा है, जो आज की हमारी वर्तमान पीढ़ी पढ़ रही है, लेकिन सोशल मीडिया हमारे हाथों में है। अपने इतिहास के अनछुए पहलू हम जन जन तक पहुचाएंगे!

Bhagwan Vishnu Ji seated on Seshanaga.
Vishnu Ji’s vahana Garuda is on the lower left and his consort Devi Lakshmi is on the lower right.
About 1500 years old this magnificent sculpture of Vishnu Ji was carved at Cave-3, Badami Cave Temples in Karnataka.
