The World is not aware that our Temples are more wonderful than the Seven Wonders even when they're 100 times better.

Panchvaktra Temple, Mandi
Himachal Pradesh
Situated at the confluence of the Rivers Suketi and Beas. Panchvaktra temple is a supreme shrine dedicated to Lord Shiv. The temple is built in the typical Shikhara architecture style which looks astounding. Temple got its name from the five faced statue image of Lord Shiva, out of which only three can be seen when viewed from the front.
It is one of the protected monuments which comes under the Archaeological Survey of India and has been declared a national site. Inside the Panchvaktra temple, there is a huge statue of Lord Shiv. The statue has five faces which depict about the different character of Lord Shiv- Aghora, Ishana, Tat Purusha, Vaamdeva and Rudra. Angora is the destructive nature, Ishana is omnipresent and omnipotent, Tat Purusha is his ego, Vaamdeva is the female facet and Rudra is his creative and destructive aspect. Panchvaktra is defined as the union of all these.

Katas Raj Temples
The Shri Katas Raj Temples is a complex of several Hindu temples connected to one another by walkways. The temple complex surrounds a pond named Katas which is regarded as sacred by Hindus. The complex is located in the Potohar Plateau region of Pakistan's Punjab province.
The temple's pond is said in the Puranas to have been created from the teardrops of Shiva, after he wandered the Earth inconsolable after the death of his wife Sati. The pond occupies the area of two kanals with a depth of 20 feet.
The temples play a role in the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, where the temples are believed to have been the site where the Pandava brothers spent a significant portion of their exile. It is also believed by Hindus to be the site where the brothers engaged in a riddle contest with the Yakshas, as described in the Yaksha Prashna. Another tradition states that the Hindu deity Krishna laid the foundation of the temple, and established a hand-made Shivling in it.

Tilla Jogian
Tilla Jogian is an abandoned Hindu temple and monastic complex located on the summit of the Tilla Jogian mountain in the Salt Range of Pakistan's Punjab province. The temples are located at an altitude of 975m(3200ft.).
Tilla Jogian is popularly believed to have been a Hindu pilgrimage centre for at least 2000 years. The complex is said to have been established in 1st century BCE. The Kanphata Jogi, an ascetic order noted for its member's ear piercings, was founded by Guru Gorakhnath, and was centred at Tilla Jogian.
Tilla Jogian's importance as a Hindu pilgrimage centre attracted the founder of Sikh faith, Guru Nanak who meditated here for 40 days in the early 1500s. Later the complex was sacked and looted by the Pashtun king Ahmad Shah Abdali, during one of his several raids into Punjab.
Following Partition, most of the Hindus migrated to the Republic of India, abandoning the temples which remain neglected until present day & have just become a tourist spot.

#Sringeri gets its name from Rishi #Shringya, son of Rishi #Vibhandaka. In fact, the full name is #RishiShringra Giri, Giri meaning mountain.
#Sringeri, as we see it today, owes its history, heritage, and lineage to Adi #Shankaracharya. The town today revolves around the #Shardha #Temple and #Sharada_Peetham set up by him in 8th CE, with #Tunga River flowing between them.

The Achyuta Raya Temple is in Hampi.
It was built in 1534 AD. It is one of the major, splendid and awe-inspiring temples of #Hampi located between the #Matanga hills and #Gandhamadana. This magnificent #temple depicts #Vijayanagara architecture style of temples in its best and most improved form. This was among the last dazzling temples that were constructed in the celebrated city of Hampi prior to the decline of the #Vijayanagara Empire.
