I love studying temple architecture.

You know Taj Mahal is also a Mandir.... Well it was constructed over an old temple and it also has a Shivling buried beneath it. So it is technically a mandir.

Well...do not test my knowledge when it comes to temples (specially the famous ones).
I want to believe I know the history and architecture of most of the (famous) temples in India. My ego gets hurt when someone assumes otherwise.
Kidding!
Yes, I knew about it. Who would not?

Well do you know about the famous Meera Mandir of Chittorgarh-
Chittorgarh - Kumbha Shyam Temple (Meera Mandir)
Maharana Kumbha build a Lord Vishnu Temple (Kumbh Temple) in 1449.

When Meera came to Chittor, she requested a small Krishna Temple for her personal use. Her father-in-law (Maharana SANGRAM SINGH I) built a small Temple adjoining Kumbh Temple, which was named as Kumbh (Kumbha) Shyam Temple. There she continued her devotions to Lord Krishna, and used her wealth to help feed religious pilgrims and the needy.

There is a small Chhatri in the Temple built in memory of Meera's saintly guru, Rai Das (Swami Ravidas) of Varanasi. The saint's footprints are marked on the floor of this small shrine.

It's a long long list.
I will have to start with India and finish in Cambodia (may be).
I love studying the architecture of temples, I wish I had more time to pursue it.
