Ratneshwar Mahadev- The leaning temple of Banaras.
Known as Matri-rin Mahadev Or Kashi Karvat
Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple has to be one of the most photographed temple in Banaras, located between Manikarnika Ghar and Scindhia Ghat a short distance of Tarkeshwar Mahadev Mandir.
The temple is famous for having a lean of 9 degree, a far more severe deviation from verticle compared to the likes of Leaning Tower of Pisa which currently has 4 degree lean.
Revenue records indicates it was built sometime between 1825 and 1830. During Princep's (master of Banaras mint) times in Banaras, he commented that the temple entrance was often submerged and priest would dive in to the water to conduct worship.

On this Shri Krishna Janmashtami let's vow to correct the historical mistake committed by Aurangazeb in 1670 & reclaim our Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi.
Most common Hindus don't know that they are visiting the makeshift temple at Mathura & original birthplace of Krishna lies under Eidgah.

The ruins of a Mahadev temple in Baroli temple complex (Rawatbhata, Rajasthan)
Easy to see how much has been lost in the last 200 yrs, possibly to vandals, plunderers, or bigots.

Beautiful sculpture of Krishna subduing Kaliya, Nepal

The Newari community of the Kathmandu Valley excelled in copper alloy repoussé. As the premier artists of this art form, they not only supplied Nepal but were in demand throughout the Tibetan plateau.
