GARHI PADHAVALI, MORENA, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA
An architectural wonder from medieval era, which looks like a fort from outside but it is a temple, which has hidden some spectacular carvings. The temple was originally a shiva temple, in 18 century the rulers of Dhaulpur converted it into a fort using the stone of the fallen temple. There is no trace of the main temple, but a small mandap at the entrance has survived,the intricate carvings covers the whole structure from the floor to the ceiling. The trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh are the main theme of the carvings. There are numerous story hidden in the carvings waiting to unraveled. There are status of lion and lioness at the entrance, guarding the temple

Hon’ble President of India and the First Lady of India Smt. Savita Kovind visited the magnificent Sun Temple in Konark today.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the finest examples of temple architecture, complete with myriad expressions of the rich Kalinga culture.
Built in the 13th century by King Narasimha Deva I of the Eastern Ganga dynasty, the temple is conceived as the chariot of the Sun god. A blend of art and science, the Konark Sun Temple is a testimony of the artistic vigour, finesse and prosperity of Odisha in ancient times.

Gangaikonda cholapuram Shiva Temple.
Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva in Gangaikonda Cholapuram, Jayankondam, in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Completed in 1035 AD by Rajendra Chola I as a part of his new capital, this Chola dynasty era temple is similar in design, and has a similar name, as the older 11th century, Brihadeeswarar Temple about 70 kilometres (43 mi) to the southwest in Thanjavur. The Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple is smaller yet more refined than the Thanjavur Temple. Both are among the largest Shiva temples in South India and examples of Dravidian style temples. The temple is also referred to in texts as Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple or Gangaikondacholeeswaram Temple.

How many of us know about this Shiv mandir in Lonad-Maharashtra?
Tucked in between a village,this is a splendour created in Hemadpanthi style by the Shilaharas (8th-13thCE) which, is now in a dilapidated condition.
When will we work on saving our heritage?

The Dwarkadhish temple, also known as the Jagat Mandir and occasionally spelled
Dwarakadheesh, is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Krishna, who is worshiped here by the name Dwarkadhish, or 'King of Dwarka'. The temple is located at Dwarka, Gujarat, India, one of the destinations of Char Dham, a Hindu pilgrimage circuit. The main shrine of the five-storied building, supported by 72 pillars, is known as Jagat Mandir or Nija Mandir. Archaeological findings suggest it to be 2,000 - 2,200 years old.[1][2][3] The temple was enlarged in the 15th- 16th century.[4][5] The Dwarkadhish Temple is a Pushtimarg temple, hence it follows the guidelines and rituals created by Vallabhacharya and Vitheleshnath.

Made out of artificial rock, Sri Govardhana Kshetra in Basavanagudi is among Bangalore’s unique temples that deserve a visit.
Right from the tunnel that leads into the temple to the deity of God Krishna holding the Govardhana hill, there are quite a few aspects that set this temple apart from the others.
Address - Sri Govardhana Kshetra, 1/3, Bull Temple Rd, opposite BMS Engg College, NR Colony, Basavanagudi.

The base of the Shiva Linga is always submerged in water which portrays the arrival of Ganga to the earth and that the flow is controlled by The Lord himself.
