This is probably the most exhaustive & detailed temple thread ever written on twitter. Its a result of several days of travel, several weeks of researching ancient texts like Devatamurthiprakaranam, Rupamandanam, Vishnudharmotthara, sritattvanidhi etc to put it together. (1)
I NEVER watermark any of my Temple photos. Its a principle I have always followed. I've also in the past put forward my reasoning as to why I don't watermark any of my Temple clicks. I do it in good faith. (2)

The info that I share here or on my Temple blog ugra1515.blogspot.com is free for anyone to share. I don't expect anyone to credit me for any of the information that I put out. Honestly what matters for me is the info to reach maximum people. Thats the sole aim. (3)
But what I find repugnant & absolutely disgusting is when people lift the photos, plaster their handle names over it, lift every word for word from the blog & circulate it as their own. Both here & on instagram. That's pathetic. (4)
Most of the times the handles indulging in such behavior often add their own extra masala to the original content just attract attention. There is no dearth of such catfish accounts here. Especially over the past few months. These accounts indulge in so much misinformation. (5)
Just be aware of such accounts. Always double check every info of such catfish handles. There are too many to even list them out.

To the catfishes I say. Shame on you. You want to steal someone's work, go ahead. Atleast don't add extra masala for rt's & follows. Its pathetic.(6)

Between 1351 to 1506 CE, the Vijayanagara empire fought 13 bloody wars with the bahamani barbarians. Most of these wars were defensive in nature, often resulting in Vijayanagara suffering territorial losses, except the 7th & 13th(last) war that Vijayanagara won decisively(1)
Most of the defeats were as a result of the Vijayanagara rulers simply not going the whole hog. On the occasions that they did i.e. The 7th war under Deva Raya I in 1417 & the final war in 1506 under Narasimha Raya, it resulted in the complete decimation of the bahamanis.
Deva Raya I chased the turushka barbarian feroz shah into his own kingdom & inflicted such mayhem. It resulted in the words of chronicler ferishta:

"The result was that
Deva Raya made a general massacre of the mussalmans &
created a platform with their heads on the battlefield"

Linguistic division of states was the biggest blunder ever. If southern states follow this move, there will be chaos in this country.

Look at our Puranas. When the Rishis classified regions of Bharat, it was never on the basis of language.

It was always river & mountain systems
Many of our Puranas speak in detail about the sacred geography of Bharat & its dwellers. There is NO mention of any language when describing the various people of Bharat. For example in the Markandeya Purana the various peoples living along the Vindhya range are described as:
इत्येते ह्यपरान्तश्च शृणु विन्ध्यनिवासिनः।
सरजाच करूषाच केरलाशोत्कलैः सह॥५३॥
उत्तमच दशाच भोज्याः किष्किन्धकैः सह।
तुम्बरुस्तुम्बुलाश्चैव पटवी नैषधैः सह॥५४॥
अन्नजास्तुष्टिकारश्च वीरहोत्रा हवन्तयः।
एते जनपदाः सर्वे विन्थ्यपृष्ठनिवासिनः॥५५॥

This generation of Hindus has so much intellectual material to fall back on to dent the hostile anti-Hindu forces. All the hard labor & ground work has been laid before us by stalwarts of the past like Goel, Swarup etc. We are not in the unenviable position like they were once.
Hindu intellectuals of the past like SRG had to start from the scratch. They had to formulate & articulate all their thoughts in a manner to be understood by the largely ignorant & naive Hindu samaj of the past. They did so risking their own careers & lives.
Especially Sita Ram Goel, who was admonished by many within the sangh for stating the truth & facts without sugar coating them.

Yet it his voluminous works that most of us fall back on to make out our case. He was a visionary like none other.

Read these 3 books. Will expose you to the realities of the world & remove any misplaced "vishwaguru" thoughts from your mind.

1)Hindu view of x'tianity & isl@m by Ram Swarup

2)Hindus & Hinduism: Manipulation & meanings by Sita Ram Goel

Contd... (1)
3) Jehad : the isl@mic doctrine of permanent war by Suhas Majumdar.

All these 3 books are very brief. Make some time & read them without fail.

After read this, you'll get an idea of what actually ails the average Hindu mind & the thought process.
Everyone in this country at the subconscious level thinks like ghandi. One may not like to acknowledge it, but it is the bitter truth. Its not your fault either. We've been programmed & manipulated from childhood to think & act like that. Setting us up for defeatist mindset.

Most folks have no idea how corporate media works. Most of us, atleast oldtimers joined this platform to take on the soldout mainstream media back in the day. Purpose was to render MSM obsolete. Today dying MSM is using us to resurrect itself. They need us more than we need them
Playing one corporate media house against another might seem like good strategy. But at the end of the day viewership rating is all the matters. With that come revenue etc. Issues hardly matter. What is relevant today will be junked tomorrow for something else juicier.
Media is a fraternity, just like the cinema industry. While there is cut throat competition for viewership & ad revenue, the very same ones who appear to be siding with your ideology will miss no opportunity to junk you once patrons change. They are all fundamentally anti-Hindu.
