This is just one monolithic pillar.
Look at the amount of work that has gone into it!
Each of them must be weighing several tons!
There are 100s of pillars like this in the temple corridors of Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram!
Imagine the logistics involved in transporting them and placing them in precise positions!

Extremely rare sculpture!
This rare sculpture shows #Shiva reclining on a bull, with one leg folded and the other vertical, holding a deer in his rear left hand and the Lingam on his rear right shoulder!
Moovar koil, built by early Chola dynasty.

Lekhana Sundari or Shasana Sundari. The name translates to "Beautiful Lady Writer"
This sculpture was sculpted in the year 1100 AD, and it is in Kamalishwara Temple, Jalasangvi, Bidar district.
It serves as a historical evidence that the Indian women were not discriminated from Education!
In addition to that, this sculpture also tells us that our women knew how to decorate themselves and they had a very developed sense of fashion!
But, we do have fake historians in India who claim that education and fashion came to India from west!

This stunningly beautiful Goddess Durga as Mahishasuramardini is from the inner wall of the Durga Temple, Aihole!
Even when she is slaying the demon Mahishasura, look at Her face (in the close-up shot) how beautiful and serene it is!
Several of Her arms are broken, but the beauty is totally intact!

Adavallan - Siva in Ananda Thandavam!
This is the only place where you can see Siva dancing under the Aala Maram (Banyan tree)
You must zoon in and see His face and His smile while!
The second picture is my attempt to remove the defects in the first picture (Original, as you see Him in the temple)

This is a very unique one-handed Shiva Lingam that is believed to have blessed Adi Shankaracharya ji. This Shiva Lingam is enshrined at the Shankara Math in Thiruvidaimarudur, Tamil Nadu.
It is believed that a hand appeared from the Shiva Lingam, affirming Adi Shankaracharya’s philosophy of Advaita (non-dualism) by declaring “Satyam Advaitam”
Mahadev 🙏
