Marichi at Temple in Ajodhya village, Baleswar, which was stolen in 2017.
This temple is situated 9 km north of Sajanagada. It is on the right side of the road leading from Nilagiri to Mayurbhanj in Baleswar district, Orissa.
The temple is a newly built pidha vimana style building like other temples of Odisha. The temple houses many tantric, Jain and Buddhist images dating back to the late 11th century. It is thought that the Somavamsi Keshari dynasty commissioned the statues. There are many old icons such as the Hindu goddess four-handed Varahi, the Buddha in bhumisparsa or earth touching mudra, a Jain tirthankara or spiritual teacher and the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.
The central icon is worshiped as the Hindu goddess Durga and next to the image is the Mahayana goddess Marici. The Marici image is flanked by two goddesses. The Garbhagriha or inner sanctum houses three icons from the late 11th century. Durga Puja is a famous festival in this temple.

जाखू मंदिर शिमला, हिमांचल
जब शिमला पहुँचे थे हनुमान जी
भगवान राम और लंका नरेश रावण के मध्य युद्ध चल रहा था। कई दिनों तक युद्ध चलने के बाद भी जब रावण की सेना भगवान राम की वानर सेना के आगे निर्बल दिखाई दे रही थी। तब रावण के पुत्र मेघनाद ने लक्ष्मण पर शक्ति बाण चला दिया जिसके प्रभाव से वह मूर्छित हो गए। वैद्य के कहने पर लक्ष्मण के इलाज के लिए हनुमान जी हिमालय से संजीवनी बूटी लाने के लिए निकाल पड़े।
आकाश मार्ग से जा रहे हनुमान जी की नजर जाखू पहाड़ पर तपस्या कर रहे एक यक्ष ऋषि पर पड़ी। मार्ग में विश्राम कर और संजीवनी बूटी का पता पूछने के लिए हनुमान जी इसी स्थान पर उतरे। यक्ष ऋषि से संजीवनी की जानकारी लेने के बाद हनुमान जी ने उनसे दोबारा मिलने का वादा किया।
कालनेमि नामक राक्षस के मायाजाल के कारण हनुमान जी को कुछ देर हो गई इसलिए वह एक छोटे मार्ग से लौट आए और अपने वचन के अनुसार यक्ष ऋषि से मुलाकात नहीं कर पाए। इस पर ऋषि व्याकुल हो उठे। उनकी व्याकुलता दूर करने के लिए अंततः हनुमान जी ने यक्ष ऋषि को दर्शन दिया। इसके बाद इस स्थान पर हनुमान जी की स्वयंभू प्रतिमा प्रकट हुई।

The #Polonnaruwa_Vatadage is an ancient structure dating back to the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa of #Sri_Lanka. It is believed to have been built during the reign of #Parakramabahu I to hold the Relic of the tooth of the #Buddha or during the reign of #Nissanka_Malla of Polonnaruwa to hold the alms bowl used by the Buddha.
Located within the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, it is the best preserved example of a vatadage in the country, and has been described as the "ultimate development" of this type of architecture. Abandoned for several centuries, excavation work at the Polonnaruwa Vatadage began in 1903.

Rare statue of Ugrachandi in Basantapur Chowk in Bhaktapur – a statue so stunning it cost the sculptor his hand
In 1707 CE King Bhupatindra (1696 to 1722) commissioned the sculpting of the goddess Ugrachandi. The result of the stone masons work is clear to all. The statue of Ugrachandi is truly intricate, detailed and stunning. The eighteen-armed goddess is depicted dispatching a fallen enemy with her trident and a guardian lion.
King Bhupatindra also thought the statue was beautiful. In fact he was so impressed with the stone masons work he didn’t want any of the other kings within the Kathmandu valley to have a statue like it. So, he chopped of the masons right hand.
Chandi or Chandika is a powerful form of Parvati, who manifested to destroy evil. Chandika is an avatar of Durga. The three principal forms of Durga worshipped are Mahagauri, Chandika and Aparajita. Of these, Chandika has two forms called Chandi and Chamunda who is created by the goddess Kaushiki for killing demons Chanda and Munda

The Mahadeva Temple at Itagi in Koppal District of Karnataka, is a highly ornate example of Chalukya style architecture.
Built in 1112 A.D. the Temple’s carvings, sculptures, pillars and tower is an excellent example of Western Chalukyan art and speaks volumes about the skills of the artisans in those days.
