2. Kailashnath Temple of Ellora and other temples there have been painfully carved over a century out of huge boulders.

5. Sun Temple of Konark 24 intricately designed wheels,

12 ft in diameter which are seen drawn by horses. These seven horses represent the week, the wheels stand for the 12 months while the day-cycle is symbolised by the eight spokes in the wheels. And this whole depiction tells how the time is controlled by the Sun.
6. Rani ka Vav

is the finest and one of the largest examples of its kind and designed as an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water, the stepwell is divided into seven levels of stairs with sculptural panels; more than 500 principal sculptures of Bhagwan Vishnu and over 1000 minor

ones combine religious and legendary imagery.
7. The ruins of Hampi have over 500 monuments spread around hills and valleys. These include alluring temples, ruins of palaces, royal pavilions, bastions, historical treasures, archaeological relics of aquatic structures & ancient

markets.
8. Modhera Sun Temple is an exquisitely carved temple complex and the magnificently sculpted kund are jewels in the art of masonry of the Solanki period which was also known as the Golden Age of Gujarat. The design element of the temple follows the tenets of Vastu. The

kund (reservoir) and the entrance passageway face east welcoming the rays of the sun, and the entire structure floats on a plinth resembling a flowering lotus as an ablution to the sun god. The main complex is divided into three parts, the entrance which is the ‘Sabha Mandap’

‘Antaral’ the connecting passage and the ‘Garbagruha’ the sanctum sanctorum.
9. Pattadakal was not only popular for Chalukyan architectural activities but also a holy place for the royal coronation, 'Pattadakisuvolal'. Temples here are a perfect blend of Rekha, Nagara, Prasada

and the Dravida Vimana styles of temple architecture. The oldest temple at Pattadakal is Sangamesvara built by Vijayaditya Satyasraya (AD 697-733)
10. Ratneshwar Temple, nestled near Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi, leans by around 9 degrees while Leaning Tower of pisa leans at

around 4 degrees . As per some reports, the temple has a height of 74 metres, which is around 20 metres higher than the Pisa tower. The historic Ratneshwar Temple dates back to centuries and is one of the most photographed temples in Varanasi.
None of these are considered the

wonders of the world because we do not care to appreciate them first and show it with pride to the world.
Know the grand history & heritage of Bharat.
