1.kailsa Temple Ellora caves , Maharashtra  

Ellora caves, Maharashtra

The Kailasa Temple is the largest rock-cut Hindu temple in the 16th century Ellora Caves. This temple will give you a reason to increase your knowledge of Indian mythology as never before. The structure of the Kailash temple is a monolith, which means that this cave temple is built on a single rock. Inside the Kailasa Cave Temple, the rendering of Ramayana is engraved in it. This three story high temple structure has intricate carvings, these caught the attention of Brutal Mughal King Aurangzeb and later ordered to destroy the caves but nothing happened to Kailasa Cave Temple. An archaeologist estimates that there are 30 million Sanskrit carvings yet to be decoded to understand their significance. Nowadays, no one has such exquisite craftsmanship, so many believe that this is a mysterious temple in India. 

Mysterious Things:-The temple is built on an amazingly carved mountain with such intricate details and imagine how man those days can build such temple? 

2.VEERABHADRA TEMPLE: LEPAKSHI, ANDRA PRADESH 

Veerabhadra Temple, lepakshi,Andra Pradesh

Veerabhadra Temple in the Lepakshi district of Andra Pradesh, famous for one of the 70 hanging pillars, is a mystical temple in India. It has a history dating back to the 16th century and the architecture shows the Vijayanagari style. Many tourists find it interesting due to its single pillar hanging from the roof and thus Veerabhadra Temple has become a famous temple not only in Andhra Pradesh but throughout the country. You can also place a cloth under a recognizable spot to test the magic difference between the pillar and the ground. As you enter the temple premises, prepare to be amazed at the ancient engineering and cultural marvels. You will see different Gods and Goddesses carved on the walls of the temple, including the pillars. Be sure to witness the roof painting to marvel at ancient Indian culture and traditions. 

  • Unsolved mysteries  First of all, just 200 meters from the temple, you will see a gigantic statue of Nandi (the bull in Hindu mythology) carved out of a single block of stone. This enormous structure is 27 feet long and 15 feet high and is the biggest monolithic bull in the world.
  • Out of 70 huge pillars,(floating pillar) one pillar stays intact without any support leaving the bottom space that doesn’t let it touch the ground with a few margins.
  • a giant carved foot can be seen on the ground that can only be created with such exactness from actual measurements of a person’s foot. Who were these 20 to 25 foot tall giants? Did such giants really exist? No one knows for sure.

3.The Brihadeeswara temple in Thanjavur.

The Bridheeswara temple,Thanjur, Tamilnadu

Brihadeeswarar Temple, also called Rajarajesvaram or Peruvudaiyār Kōvil, is a Hindu temple located on the South Bank of the Kaveri river in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Brihadeeswarar Temple is one of the largest temples in South India with a well-known model of Dravidian architecture.

  • 1.Another marvel of Brihadeeswarar temple is that it has a perfect balance. Raja Gopuram has such a perfect geometrical creation that the shadow of the temple does not fall on the ground. The temple has suffered many disasters in previous years and remains untouched to this day.
  • 2. The very first thing that is very different about the Brihadeshwara Temple is its long paths. These passages are underground. They all lead to different different places. This is a model art and so was the capital of the Chola dynasty. These passages are secret and lead to King's Palace.
  • 3.These passages are sealed mostly. In those days Kings had many secret areas to protect themselves and their empires from the enemy and so they used to maintain some secrecy. These secret paths have no maps, it is because the paths could never be traced. No one tried very hard to find out about those passages, because those passages are believed to lead to some dangerous places.

4.Rani ki vav :- The inverted Temple

The Inverted stairwell temple,Rani ki vav, Gujarat 

What is queen architecture A step further, Rani Ki Vav is an ode to architecture, a stone poem, a piece of decorative beauty, with sculptures that speak to you from every panel and wall. Descending deep underground, the last of the seven levels merges with mother earth. I can see terraces or huts on each level supported by columns, it appears more than 220 of them and more than 500 statues adorn it.

Mysterious Things

  • This seven-storey structure measures 64 metres in length, 20 metres in width and 28 metres in depth. It is known to be one of the finest and prestige examples of fine craftsmanship and architecture. The fourth level is the deepest level sounds quite mysterious
  • Stairwell have always known to be a unique form of the water storage system in India. Water wells in which the water is stored by descending a series of steps. It is popularly said that the water in the vav is considered to be magical, as it cures people, due to the herbs that are found,the well that cures diseases by rare herbs, what herbal water might be?
  • Many years ago the Rani ki Vav was flooded by the Sabarmati river. It remained submerged in water and it was only around 1980 that it was evacuated by the Archaeological Survey of Yet being underground built by udhyamati the widowed queen sounds astonishing and mysterious in ancient period?

5.Knoark Sun Temple

The word "Konark" is a combination of two Sanskrit words kona (horn or horn) and arka (sun). Thus, it was implied that the main deity was the sun god. And the temple is built in angular form. It is a mystery how the Sun Temple was built, who the artisans were and how it was funded. Many veterans circled. During the 1960s, after extensive research, a palm leaf manuscript called ‘Baya Cakada’ written in Karani script in Old Oriya was collated in full set of 73 leaves. These are detailed histories of construction works and accounts written during the 12 years of construction (1246-1258).

It is designed as a massive chariot mounted on 12 pairs of intricately carved giant stone wheels which are pulled by a set of seven mighty stone horses. The temple is built with a good slope to the east so that the first rays of the sun illuminate the main entrance. This large door is adorned with two large stone lions standing on either side.  Both of these lions appear to be trampling an elephant and a human underneath. The temple complex covers 26 acres of land.

So impossible mysteries  

  • What prompted the king to start this ambitious project that dwarfed all other temples in Odisha?  Why was it built in a remote place like Konark and not in Cuttack, the capital?
  • How many years did it take to start planning and complete the temple?
  • Who build this? Where are they?.
  • No seaport or river near them How come it helps them?
  • How did the huge blocks of rocks get out and deliver in this sandy desert away from any mountain?
  • How were the heavy stone blocks and iron beams raised to such heights and installed?  How irons cast beams made?
  • Why were they added to the stone structure?  Was the temple really completed and in worship, or was it too colossal and abandoned before the consecration?  Or it University of knowing Time and days?..
  • How did it fall Is it due to its enormous sin or By Girls wrath?

6.The Dilwara Temple in Mount Abu, Rajasthan 

Dilwara Temple, Mount Abu,Rajasthan

It was built between 11th-13th century. These intricate carvings on the ceilings and marble pillars are truly fascinating. Anyone who visits the temple experiences a sense of peace and a divine connection with a Higher Power (God). The temple displays many images from Jain and Hindu mythology. Lotus buds, flowers and abundant petals carved into the pillars and ceilings give a unique look to the temple. Not only that, carved courtyards, arches, doors are other unique features of the temple.

8.Shree Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple, Karnataka  

Shree Gavi Gangadheshwara Temple, Karnataka 

The Gavipuram cave temple is an architectural marvel in itself. The temple was cut out of a natural monolith. The inner sanctuary of the temple is located inside a cave carved into the rock. The main attraction of the temple is the granite pillars on the front porch of the temple. Two of the pillars support giant disks representing the sun and the moon. The other two pillars have a trishul (trishul) and a biceps drum (damru), representing the two important possessions of Lord Shiva.

The structure of the earlier temple was low and the sun illuminated the temple during the summer and winter solstice. Today the Sun shines Shivalinga twice a year - from 13 to 16 January and from 26 November to 2 December.

  • But the main architectural significance associated with the temple is the creation of the cave temple and the placement of the stone discs in such a manner that they allow the sun to illuminate the Shivalinga for just one hour every year, Amazing to know about our ancestors to Sun dail timings accurately?.. sounds Mysterious.

Sounds vibing with the architecture more caves like elephant caves,Udhayagiri cave yet 25caves architectural temples in which carries Mysterious ancient sculptures and unsolved Mysteries bring throughout the exclusive architecture presenting the facts sounds astonishing, only question stands out here is it even possible in those days?..
