Somnath Series : Ruined and ravaged Somnath temple as described by visitors in 19th and 20th centuries
•The dome of the central munduff is complete, but unfortunately too little in unison with the original design to sanction a belief that it is Hindu…….
•Canon, placed upon the roof of the temple to keep off French privateers, which frequented the coats during the war
•The spot where stood the symbolic lingam is deserted, and in the western wall, facing the holy city of Mecca, is excavated a pulpit for the Moollah.
-James tod
the jeweled columns, the golden idols, the dancing girls, and the voice of melody, are replaced by heaps of unsightly rubbish; the chirp of the bat is heard from the sanctum, and the owl has found a nest amongst its richly sculptured cornices

Happy kartik Purnima or Happy Deva Diwali.
lets read the story
Three demons ( Tarakaksha, Vidyunmali and Kamalaksha) worshiped Brahma and asked for 3 cities which will float in the heavens, the skies and the earth plane respectively.

 #KartikPurnima @monidipadey @OmTheReality
These cities can only be destroyed when all 3 are aligned in straight line and can be destroyed only by a single arrow and that too shot by none other than lord Siva himself. Brahma granted them their wish.

So gaining virtual immortality, the 3 demon brothers started creating havoc. Gods pleaded to Siva and Siva agreed to help.
