Look @anulekhaboosa
its been quite sometime that I Have been going through this debate (Sorry for you its been abuse job).

I am from Telangana, Grew up reading the Stories of Komaram Bheem & Poetry of Kaloji.

I belong to a family which has seen atrocities of Razakars.
Now stop abusing & debate respectfully.

History & facts do not become right by angrily using the words like "Bhakth" "watsapp University" "2Rs Troll" etc.

Do you want us to debate with you with such abuses.
You are the same egoistic congressi who is using the word "Bhakth" as an abuse because your hatred towards a political ideology -BJP.

Keep BJP aside, why abuse Hinduism.
Why use the word "Bhakth" in debates.
Is this what is taught to you by @INCIndia & @RahulGandhi ?

This Spotlight of Hampi is the “Prachya Gopuram” (Eastern Entrance) of Vairupaksha Temple, Hampi.

This “Nava Tala” (Nine Storeyed) Gopuram is the epitome of Temple Building activity of Vijayanagara Rulers.

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7
The uniqueness of their style was - the Base of the structure was made of Granite while the upper portion is of Brick & Stucco.

This was commissioned by “Prolugnati Tippa”, the officer of “Prouda Devaraya” in mid of 15th century.
This Massive entrance is the symbol of how even the officers of Indian Rulers could build such structures.

The magnificent Keshava Temple of Somanathapura was built by “Dandanayaka”, the general of Hoysalas.

and we Dhimmies get contented with Ayodhya, while thousands of temples are still under Mosques.

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7

This mushrooming do not happen a day, took decades and I explain how this happens below...
1. First they identify a unrecognised burial or the one related to some One from the community.

clear and make some space around it & cover it with a "Chadar"
2. Then paint the stone pillars or rocks around the area with green and tie flags.

one person from the area will daily clean it & will sit whole day taking care of that burial.

My Grand Mother said stories of how Razakars made them dance naked around Bathukamma.
She said she was between 12 -15 yrs then. She is no more now. Every One of her generation will say episodes of atrocities by Razakars.

They spared women only if she can pee as far as men, that's their Legacy.
Her name was "Veeramma".
She said - When Razakars entered village everybody hid themselves in Cattle "Koshtams". They beat men till they pissed in their Dhothis. The raped women by Razakars remained like a Widow.

None of the Indian Architecture schools teaches "Temple Architecture". Since I am in touch with students, every body is obsessed with Fletcher's books. Its standard book to refer to.

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7
If Indians don't study Indian temples, who else will?

if have humongous ancient literature on this subject like Manasara, Mayamatam, Silpaprakasa, Aparajitaprcha, Brihat Samhita, Samarangana Sutradhara, Agamas and much more.
but present architects neither understand our temples nor the literature.

There is a common belief that because temple construction now is not a regular activity, teaching that will not provide job opportunities.

so they are busy teaching everything except Indian.

How to identify “Saptamatrikas” in temples?

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7
Saptamatrikas are the feminine Energies of Gods like Brahma, Shiva, Kartikeya, Vishnu, Varaha, Indra, Bhairava.

They look like their consorts with similar Vahanas and Ayudhas.
One easy way of identifying them is, mostly they are on the door Jambs of the temples.

Ayudhas or Vahanas as mentioned in the picture is the way to recognize them individually.
