Our ancestors had all of this and more.
Built 1000+ years ago in the Abhaneri village of Rajasthan.

13 floors,
And has 3,500 narrow steps arranged in perfect symmetry!
The Chand Baori is one of the largest stepwells in the World and also one of the most beautiful ones.

Kakanmath Mandir– Disobey the Laws of Gravity !
Located at the small village of Sihoniya in Madhya Pradesh. Standing 115 feet tall and clearly once heavily decorated, the incredible Shiva Mandir is now partially ruined.
Built by Raja Kirtiraj in the 11th century on the behest of his queen Kakanwati is an epitome of intricate craftsmanship.
The stones of the Mandir appear to have been placed randomly one on top of the other, without any adhesive or binding. But the temple still stands tall, with an impeccable balance.
Just imagine Friends, how perfect were the artists, architects, planners of that era..?

Rareshwara Shiva temple, Durgapur, WB.
The temple shows Nagara architecture, & is built with laterite & sandstone. The temple is famous for a large Shivalinga inside its sanctum. Since the area is known as Rarh region of Bengal; so the name is Rareshwara.
While as per some views the temple was Built by Ballal Sen of the Sena dynasty in the 12th c. CE; historically it is more likely to have been constructed by the Gop dynasty, possibly by Ishwari ghosh, who was declared as an independent king during the period of the Pala king Raja NayaPala (1038–1055 CE).
The main feature of this saptaratha temple is the shikhara which unlike any other contemporary temples in that area, shows sharp corners.
The Temple faces east & is built over a raised platform. It has a sanctum, antarala, & an entrance porch or mandapa. The temple was built after the king who was suffering from an illness saw Shiv ji in his dreams who told him to build a temple in his name.

An unfinished marvel, looks like a blooming lotus!
Located in Kalugumalai, a hill in Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu, Vettuvan Koil Temple carved out from a single granite rock, like the Kailasa Temple in Ellora Caves.
It's an example of incredible engineering of Ancient Bharat, believed to have been built during the 8th century by Pandyas.

Damaged yet so perfect!
An architectural marvel of the Vijayanagara Empire!
Friends, Just imagine how beautiful it was, if this is the view after plundering of the temple by the Invaders.
There are 1000s of such temples at different Locations of Bharat but are not found in the history books.

Remnants of a once glorious past..
On the Pakistan-Afghanistan border lie the ruins of once magnificent temple complexes built by the Hindu Shahi dynasty. These were destroyed during an invasion by Mahmud Ghazni in the 11th cen CE.
Today the ruins are called "Kafir" Kot.
Kafir Kot ruins is the collective name of two sets of temple complexes located within 50 kms of each other but with similar landscape. One set is named Bilot Kafirkot and the other Tilot Kafirkot. Both are surrounded by ruins of massive fortifications.
