Mamleshwar Temple, Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
As per legend, it was Mamleshwar Temple where Lord Ganesh stood as a doorkeeper for her mother and didn’t allow Lord Shiva to enter its premises. Consequently, Lord Shiva cuts his head off without knowing that he was his own son and following his mother’s order. Dating back to 400 AD, this impressive stone edifice is about a kilometre away from Pahalgam, resting amid mist-covered mountains. The complex is lush green and is situated across the Kolahoi stream, which is another beautiful attraction of the region.

Raja Rani Temple, Bhubaneswar.
Mesmerizing architecture of 11th century old temple and its golden history.
The jagamohana entrance flanked with two naga-stambhas, one having a male naga and another a female naga. These are carved with their tails coiling down suggesting upward movement.
