Our Ancients are Calling but are we listening ?
Three huge and perhaps the biggest Shivlings of ancient times lay forgotten and unattended in Kashmir, waiting for revival of their lost glory.
A thread diving deep into their History coming soon on kashmir... Friends

भारतीय स्थापत्य कला/वास्तुकला का अद्भुत नमूना.....
मात्र एक भी गलती से नक्काशी टूट सकती थी
हाँ, उस समय मशीन भी नहीं थी। क्या सचमुच मशीन नहीं थी या वामपंथी इतिहासकारों ने झूठ बोला? क्या उन्होंने इसलिए झूठ बोला कि हम भारतीय अपनी प्राचीन संस्कृति पर गर्व ना कर सकें ?
भारत का इतिहास ज्यादातर वामपंथी इतिहासकारों ने ही लिखा है, जो आज की हमारी वर्तमान पीढ़ी पढ़ रही है, लेकिन सोशल मीडिया हमारे हाथों में है। अपने इतिहास के अनछुए पहलू हम जन जन तक पहुचाएंगे!

Bhagwan Vishnu Ji seated on Seshanaga.
Vishnu Ji’s vahana Garuda is on the lower left and his consort Devi Lakshmi is on the lower right.
About 1500 years old this magnificent sculpture of Vishnu Ji was carved at Cave-3, Badami Cave Temples in Karnataka.

Madhavaraya Temple Gandikota Kadapa
Madhavaraya Temple in Gandikota is an ancient Hindu temple located at Gandikota Fort in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh, India. This ancient temple constructed during the 15th century is currently in ruins is still a religious destination due to the magnificent Kakatiya architectural style reminiscent of the Vijayanagara period. Madhavaswamy Temple was built in the golden age of Sri Krishna Deva Raya.
Madhavaraya Temple is now a historical monument and is noted for the imposing temple tower which can be seen from any corner of the village and the interesting and intricate sculptures of architectural value. The idol of the temple and many sculptures are destroyed during invasions but the ornately decorated mandapa is still intact. The carvings of fish and tortoise seen inside the dwaram (entrance) suggests the temple was once a shrine dedicated to Mahavishnu.

Gandikota Fort, popularly known as the Grand Canyon of India, got its name due to the gorge formed between the Erramala Hills (Gandikota hills) and Pennar River that flows at its foot. The fort also houses an ancient Ranganatha Swamy Temple which is also in ruins.

Sri Vishnu, 700 CE. Vietnam, Cham dynasty.
This pre-Angkor style comes from the Zhenla kingdom in the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam. It preserves the influence of Indian sculptures, particularly in the full, round forms of the face. Vishnu is seen wearing a high headdress and he holds a shankha in his raised left hand and a chakra in his right. His lowered left hand rests on the remains of a mace or gada.
Now at the Met Museum.
