The Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple draws a lot of attention from pilgrims and tourists visiting the holy city of Varanasi in India. The temple was built extremely close to the Ganga River and has developed a nine-degree slant. By contrast, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy tilts just four degrees.
No one knows, exactly, why the temple has developed such a severe lean. Like so many buildings and monuments in India, legend and history do not match up when it comes to Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple. The lean could be the result of a structural problem, or because it was built on silt, or because of a curse.
According to a popular legend, a man built the temple in honor of his mother, and proudly boasted that he had paid his debt to her. However, she cursed the temple, stating that the debt to one’s mother can never be paid.

Lakshmana temple, Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Lakshmana temple enshrines the mystic form of Lord Vishnu called Vaikuntha, which is 4 ft. high with three faces of the Lion, Man, and Boar. The temple was affiliated to the Vaishnavite Pancharatra sect of the Kashmir school, which worshipped Vishnu in this composite form.
Madhya Pradesh is a land of Great antiquity. And the Khajuraho Temple is the one which depicts a sensuous poetry carved in stone. The temple's inscription states that King Yashovarman who built this splendid temple to house the Vaikuntha image that he acquired from his overlord, the Pratihara king, who in turn had got it from the ruler of Chamba region. His son Dhangadeva consecrated the temple in AD 954.

Lightning fell on 52 gaj flag of Dwarkadhish temple
The incident did not damage the temple, only the walls turned black; The people of Dwarka said - God saved us
Lightning struck the flag pole of the famous #Dwarkadhish temple in Gujarat's #Dwarka on Tuesday. The 52 gaj flag of the temple was damaged due to lightning. However, no damage was done to the Dwarkadhish temple and only the walls of the temple turned black. The incident happened around 2:30 pm on Tuesday.
The flag above the Dwarkadhish temple also has special significance. It is called 52 Gaj Dhwaja. This is the only temple in India, where the flag of 52 gaj is raised 5 times a day. There is so much reverence about this flag among the devotees that sometimes they have to wait for two years to offer the flag. Locals say that this is the first time that lightning has struck any part of the temple.

A wheel from Konark Sun Temple (1250 CE) which is designed in a shape of chariot. This is about 9 feet in diameter, intricately carved and acts as a sundial (see the dots around the rim, they are capable of calculating time upto 3 minutes of accuracy). There are 24 such wheels in the temple. This one has undergone restoration mark and original carvings are only faintly visible. For example, spokes bear different carvings each, they look plain after restoration 😐

The biggest Shiva sculpture in Kerala and the biggest Gangadharewshwara statue in India - Azhimala Gangadhareshwara sculpture - stands tall at a height of 58 feet in the backdrop of the sea and the hill temple on both sides on top of the rocks. The sculpture has been entirely made in concrete strong enough to withstand the sea breeze.

विष्णु मंदिर
12वी सदी में हैह्य वंश के राजाओं के द्वारा विष्णु मंदिर का निर्माण कराया गया, जो कि वर्तमान में जॉजगीर की पुरानी बस्ती के भीमा तालाब के पास स्थित है। पूर्ण मंदिर बनाने के लिये इसे दो भागों मे निर्माण किया गया। लेकिन दोनों ही भाग को मिलाने का कार्य समय में पूर्ण नही हुआ था, इसका परिणाम यह हुआ कि दोनों भाग आज भी अलग-अलग जमीन पर रखें है।
अभी तक मंदिर पूर्ण नही हुआ है इसलिये यह स्थानीय लोगों के द्वारा नक्टा मंदिर के नाम से जाना जाता है। मंदिर के दीवारों में देवी-देवताओं की, गंधर्व और किन्नर प्रतिमा पर्यटकों को अपने ओर आकर्षित करती है।
