How seriously should we take @ASIGoI
Respectful handling of the Sanchi Stupa in Vidisha
VS
Neglected, locked 2,400+ yrs old Vishnu Mandir Stambh with Brahmi inscription venerating Vasudeva & glorifying Hindu Raja as "Saviour Bhagabhadra" in Vidisha
both under ASI ⁉️

Why does the ShivLing (not at all khandit) in the Dulhadeo Mandir #Khajuraho , remain un worshipped, caged behind bars of @ASIGoI
@MinOfCultureGoI @Vishnu_Jain1

Desecration didn't just happen.
It was & till date is Ideological & perpetuated‼️

How did the Jains manage to reconsecrate @ASIGoI managed Jain Mandir Complex, Khajuraho (from same era as the Sanatani Mandirs), adding new structures & new Moortis❓
Why this Suppressive #AntiHindu Bias ?

Taj Mahal, Agra, India. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his late wife Mumtaz Mahal in 1632. ❤️😊 It took around 22 years to build this magnificent structure. Made of white marble. #TajMahal #Agra #India #ShahJahan #MumtazMahal #historicalplaces Image

~Did u knw there's a connection btwn the Giant #Pyramids in Giza & #Khajuraho temple?
And btwn Angor Wat temple & the Nazca Lines?

~Did you know that our ancestors were aware of SATTELITE orbits around Earth?

There's proof!!
Let me explain..

A line drawn at an angle to equator, joins all the great ancient structures like Pyramids in Giza, Khajuraho temple, Angor Wat Temple, the Nazca lines & the also the mysterious EASTER islands.

The best part is the error by which these structures deviate frm the line is...
3/n
is less than 1/10th of a degree.
This proves the structures wr intentionally built to b on this line.👇
Experts hv nw found out that if a SATELLITE ws to orbit in the sky along this imaginary line then the SATELLITE will b able to harness SOLAR energy throughout d year

Entire #LakshmanaTemple complex stands on a high platform (Jagati). Its shikhara is clustered with minor urushringas (a subsidiary tower springing from sides of the main shikhara tower in the Hindu temple architecture of northern India.)

Beginning #MPtrail with this pic - taken in #Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh. This is at a Chandella temple site of the greatest antiquity, a site whose temples pre-date those of #Khajuraho. This pic shows the state of heritage in our country. More on this site tomorrow. Image
#MPtrail: This pic was taken from the top of a Chandella water reservoir's stone embankment. The green area on the left was once a large water body. At the far end of the reservoir is a group of temples which date to the 9th century CE. I'll take you there over the weekend. Image
#MPtrail: A fragile set of temples which, in my view, showcase two varying streams of temple architecture. In Vyas Bhadora, a small village in MP's Chhatarpur dist. Managed by the state archaeological dept. Over a dozen temples built nxt to a Chandella irrigation reservoir. Image
