Similar to the UNESCO world-famous Kailasa Temple, in Ellora, this is also carved from a single rock.
Constructed in the Pandiyan architecture and carved from single granite rock, the Vettuvan Kovil in Kalugumalai is the only known example of a Pandya era monolithic temple that was carved out in three dimensions, in-situ from the top of the hillock. Lord Shiva is the chief deity here. The temple is completed from the roof-kapota portion to the shikhara while it is unfinished at the lower level.
The fascinating aspect of the sculptures of Vettuvan Kovil is that they are in asana (seated) postures. Also, this is the only site where Dakshinamurthy is depicted playing the Mridanga (a percussion instrument), while in all other places, he is depicted playing the Veena.
About 7.5 meters of the mountain is excavated in a rectangular fashion and in the middle, the Vettuvan Kovil in Kalugumalai is sculpted from a single piece of rock. The carvings reflect the southern temple style of the Pandya era. Only the top portion of the temple is completed.

GUJARAT has a lot of vavs or stepwell for we think water scarcity has always been a problem here. Usually step wells were created to conserve water. In olden times Adalaj is a prime example of how conservation of water with great aesthetics was done back then.

Words fall short while praising the artists who built this ancient wonder.
For centuries this Mandir adorns the confluence of the Alaknanda, Varuna and the Shastri rivers at Sangameshwar.
The Karneshwar Mandir at Sangameswar in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra.
It is believed that Raja Karna from the Karvir dynasty built this Mandir almost 1600 years ago

Panchalingeswara Temple at Govindanahalli: Only Surviving Panchakuta temple from Hoysala era
This 13th century temple is one of the rare surviving Panchakuta temples from the Hoysala era. The famous sculptor, Ruvari Mallitamma, is known to have made contributions to this temple.
Unlike other Hoysala temples, this temple is built directly on the ground without the pedestal and its outer walls are fairly simple and it does not have edge to edge carvings like the other Hoysala temples. There are carvings and sculptures, but not a whole lot.
