Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram
Chidambaram is derived from chit, meaning ‘consciousness’ and ambaram, which means ‘sky’ from aakasam. It refers to Chidaakasam, which is the sky of consciousness that all Vedas and scriptures believe is the ultimate aim for anyone to achieve.
It is home to one of just a few examples of Shiva being represented by an anthropomorphic murthi, with the bejewelled image of Nataraja.
Made up of five courts, Aragalur Udaya Iraratevan Ponparappinan rebuilt the Siva temple at Chidambaram around 1213 AD and has been administered by an endogamous group of shiavite brahmins called Dikshitar.
A legend surrounding the temple dates back to when Lord Shiva rolled into Thilai Vanam (a forest of mangrove trees) where a group of saint, or ‘rishis’ were residing. These rishis believed that God can be controlled by magic and magical words.

Did you know:The #world's tallest #Ganesha statue (Bronze) is not in #India, but in #Thailand!
This giant standing #bronze #statue of Lord Ganesha is in #Khlong Khuean, #Chachoengsao Province, Thailand 🇹🇭.
At #39_meters high, he is the tallest Ganesha statue in the world. He was installed by #Thai Princess #Soamsawali #Phravararajatinuddamat.
Now imagine if they did this in India. All the liberals would shout "waste of money, spend it on toilets".
Today, #Thai #Buddhists celebrate the birth of Ganesha just as #Hindus celebrate #Ganesh_Chaturthi.
Lord Ganesha is known as #"Phra_Phikanet" (Shri Vignesha) in Thailand. He is very popular among Thai Buddhists.
Just as by Hindus, he is worshiped as the #deity of #success and as the one who removes all obstacles by Thai Buddhists. They worship him on occasion of the commencement of a new business or on occasion of a wedding. Associated with art and culture, Ganesha forms a part of the logo of Thailand’s department of Fine Arts.

Khajuraho Temples, Madhya Pradesh
Spread over nine square miles, this group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh will leave visitors in utter awe. Built by the Chandela dynasty between 950 and 1050, the sandstone structures are most famously known for their erotic sculptures. And although only 25 of the original 85 temples remain today, that still hasn’t stopped the monuments from claiming a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage site list.

चोल शासकों द्वारा वास्तुकला के क्षेत्र में प्राप्त महान ऊंचाइयों के चित्रण का सही उदाहरण। यह भगवान #शिव को श्रद्धांजलि है!
बृहदेश्वर मंदिर देश के सबसे सुंदर वास्तुशिल्प वैभव में से एक है। यह सोलहवीं शताब्दी में बनाई गई महान दीवारों के बीच में बनाया गया है। मंदिर के अंदर, एक मंदिर टॉवर है जो भक्तों और पर्यटकों के बीच विमना के रूप में प्रसिद्ध है।
इस मंदिर के टॉवर की ऊंचाई 66 मीटर है।
विमना पृथ्वी पर सबसे ऊंचे मंदिरों में से एक है। बृहदेश्वर मंदिर में एक गोल शीर्ष संरचना है, जो केवल एक पत्थर पर नक्काशी से निर्मित माना जाता है।
इस #बृहदेश्वर मंदिर के प्रवेश पर एक संरक्षित बैल या नंदी की एक मूर्ति भी स्थित है, जिसकी ऊंचाई लगभग तेरह फीट और लंबाई में सोलह फीट है। उल्लेखनीय रूप से, इस मूर्ति को एकल रॉक नक्काशी द्वारा बनाया गया है।
बृहदेश्वर मंदिर को ग्रेनाइट का उपयोग करके संपादित किया जाता है, जिसे #तिरुचिरापल्ली के पास ग्रेनाइट स्रोतों से लाया जा सकता है, जो पश्चिमी तंजावुर से लगभग 60 किलोमीटर दूर स्थित है।
बृहदेश्वर मंदिर को 'बिग टेम्पल' के नाम से भी जाना जाता है।

Did you know this?
This predominantly used element in Dakshina Patha Temples or #Dravidian temples is called “Naasi” (Like Nose).
It is now colloquially called #Koodu/Goodu Meaning “Nest”
This very decorative element is inspired from the pre-existing wooden Huts.
The Bigger Naasis are called “MahaNaasi”, the lesser as “AlpaNaasi”
The hollow space in center of #Naasi is called “Gaadha” which houses elements related to the presiding deity.
The Naasi is topped by a “Kirtimukha.

#Prachi valley is one of the corner stone of the cultural landscape of Odisha.
Its the land of confluence of religions & syncretisation of faiths.
The monuments stand testament of what once was a vibrant socio cultural canvas. From the forgotten chapters of history, one page belongs to the temple which goes by the name #Madhukesvara.
#Madhukesvara is located on the banks of #Kusabhadra river (a tributary of #Mahanadi) at #Deulidharpur in #Banamalipur block (22 km from Bhubaneswar).
The miniature #Shiva Temple is characterized by the #torana (Arched Gate) similar in concept to that of #Mukteswara Temple in #Bhubaneswar.

Model of surgery, Kaushambi
Dated: ~2nd century CE or older
The figurine shows the dissected stomach with the intestine peeping out. Probably it served as a model for the students of surgery.
