One of the largest fort of India and perhaps the only one that have never been breached by any invaders !
Built in 1459 by Rao Jodha Rathore.
It’s wall rises in places to a height of 120 ft and is 70 ft thick !!
Rudyard Kipling called it “the work of giants”.
Mehrangarh means "Fort of the Sun". Sun was the Devata of Rathores as their claimed descent from Suryavamsha.

The temple was built by king Rajaraja Chola II. He ruled the Chola Empire between 1146 and 1172 CE. The established capital for his predecessors was Gangapuri, also referred in some inscriptions as Gangaikonda Cholapuram, named after the holy north Indian Ganges River and goddess.
The Airavatesvara Temple is located in Darasuram, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southwest of Kumbakonam, 310 kilometres (190 mi) southwest of Chennai and 90 kilometres (56 mi) from Chidambaram.

Chappar Gudi, Aihole, Karnataka
This temple again has a unique architectural feature – its slanting roof, which is also the reason behind its name. The Kannada word ‘chappar’ means a house with thatched roof; the slanting roof of this temple would have resembled such a house with thatched roof. This suggests that many houses built during 8th century had slanting roofs.

परळी (महाराष्ट्र) में सज्जनगढ़ गांव के पास प्राचीन मंदिर के गर्भगृह में शिवलिंग स्थापित है। यह मंदिर किस कालखंड का है, इसका कोई पुख्ता प्रमाण नहीं है, लेकिन मंदिर की वास्तुकला बहुत अदभुत है। मंदिर की दीवारों और स्तंभों में गजब की नक्काशी की गई है।

Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva in Gangaikonda Cholapuram, Jayankondam, in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Completed in 1035 AD by Rajendra Chola I as a part of his new capital, this Chola dynasty era temple is similar in design, and has a similar name, as the older 11th century, Brihadeeswarar Temple about 70 kilometres (43 mi) to the southwest in Thanjavur.[1] The Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple is smaller yet more refined than the Thanjavur Temple. Both are among the largest Shiva temples in South India and examples of Dravidian style temples.

Virupaksha Temple is dedicated to lord Shiva.
This temple was constructed in Lakkana Dandesha’s assistance who was a commander under King Deva Raya II.
Hampi is on the embankment of River Tungabhadra. The predominant centre of pilgrimage in Hampi is this esteemed temple. It is the holiest and sacred retreat.
The Virupaksha temple has survived through the years and never ceases to prosper. It is still pristine amidst the ruins that surround it. It attracts large groups of people in the month of December. The yearly chariot festival is conducted in the month of February.
