Jai Shree Ram🙏🚩

An Everlasting shadow on Shiva Lingam in the main temple throughout the day at Chaya someswara swamy temple, Pangal, Nalgonda.
The Chaya looks like a shadow of one of the pillars carved in front of the sacred chamber. 1/3
But it is not actually the shadow of any pillar. The dark area is formed by the reflection of light through multiple pillars placed in front of garbhagriha & the shadow is a consolidated shadow of those four pillars. 2/3
The pillars in the temple are strategically placed so that the light falls at the same place throughout the day.
This Marvel Built between d 11th-12th century, engineered by the Kunduru Cholas, testifies d fantastic creative thinking & scientific knowledge of its architects😌🙏
