Incredible ancient Hindu sculpture architecture and monuments

[Joe Shearer]

Let's keep about old Hindu temples built before 100 years or before 20th century.

To be honest, I have nothing on store that is as beautifully photographed as those that you have showed. I have only pictures that I used in a presentation to my school alumnus group on ancient Hindu architecture. Would those be appropriate?

Alright buddy, no problem I'll stop

@Suriya has a point.

At the same time, I'd like to see those remnants that are within Pakistan. You feel like starting a different thread?

Sounds Looks good.

Have you posted there already, or do you plan to? Or are you suggesting I might find it a nice thread to browse?

I'll probably start a new thread.

Absolutely welcome.

This presentation was about the beautiful, majestic Martand Temple, whose ruins are to be seen in Kashmir.

In order to explain to my audience what they were about to see, it seemed to be a good idea to show them the classic temple architecture, and then, by century, oldest to those closest to the Martand Temple, that was probably built sometime around 735 CE.

This is the temple as it is, today.

...and this is a reconstruction of what it might have been like, when it was in use.

The earlier view was taken, facing it, and looking 'inside'.

Rani ki Vav - An example of Flamboyant architecture & true woman power in Bharat. Built by Rani Udayamati between 1022 and 1063 AD. The step well designed as an inverted Temple highlighting the sanctity of water, divided into 7 levels of stairs with sculptural panels.

>> Who made this ? An engineer, an architect, mathematician or a devotee ?

These architectures are difficult to replicate even today by all modern technologies. They were built to last for thousans of years. Many of them were built when the rest of world were living in cave age.
