Another engineering marvel in India.

Shivamandir's engineering will surprise you. If we build a simple house, we needto to put a beam on it, but even after it is such a grand and huge temple, there is no beam in this temple. This temple is in Onakona village in Chhattisgarh. This temple is as ancient as the temple of Khajuraho.

The landmark of Jaipur: Palace of Winds “Hava Mahal”.

Built in 1799 by Swai Pratap Singh. It is a 5 story pyramid shaped wth a honeycomb appearance. Built wth red & pink sandstone, it has 953 jharonkhas & was used by royal women to observe festivals without being seen. It appears as if a flower wth closed petals is blooming out of the earth.

This place is just amazing standing in the middle of a busy town. Even in hot summer, you feel cold winds blowing if you stand by these windows.
