When one sits to learn about Hindu temple architecture, this comes as one of the classic case studies of how Wooden Architecture is copied on to stones. 2/5
The roof of this temple contains stone rafters copied from wooden temples to protect the roof from wind & rain (If a temple is made of stone, it really does not need rafters). 3/5

Lord Hanuman/Anjaneya is the epitome of Bhakti.

This episode from Uttara Kanda of “Ramayana” is worth mentioning million times to know the Magnanimity of his devotedness.

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7
On Tuesday morning after bathe Hanuman observes Sita applying “Sindoor”, Hanuman asks the reason, Sita replies saying “Will increase the Lifespan of Rama”.

Hanuman who never thought there also is lifespan for Rama, applies oil and dip in to Sindoor.
Hanuman arrives to the court of Rama body full of Sindoor.

Up on asking Hanuman replies to Rama “If a small pinch of Sindoor applied by Ma Sita can increase your lifespan, imagine what would Sindoor on my whole body do”.
