Some masterpieces have aspects that are hard to imagine. One such masterpiece is Brahadeswar. How did our ancestors manage to roll up a huge dome-like rock of heavy mass to the top of the temple? Is it even possible to defy the forces acting as angular momentum at higher

elevations? While looking at the temple's antiquity, and the great mass of the rock makes things quite unimaginable. It's hard to say that what sought of technology did they used to pull up such a stressful task with impeccable perfection. Brahadeswar temple dedicated to Bhagwan

Shiva is an architectural beauty of world-class and is an important UNESCO Heritage Monument Site located in Thanjavur city, #TamilNadu. It was built by the famous Chola king Sri Rajaraja 1000 plus years ago. It is the only temple with a 216 feet tall tower in the world entirely

If you are a Shiv Bhakt, you must have practiced saying your prayers in the ears of Nandi Ji. Bhagwan Nandi Ji is one of the dearests and closest ones to Bhagwan Shiva. Outside every Shiv temple, we can see Nandi Ji patiently waiting for his Aradhya. The word Nandi comes from a

Tamil rooted word Nandhu which means to grow, to flourish, or to appear, symbolizing the appearing of Nandi Ji or other white bulls. The Sanskrit word Nandi means joy, happiness, and satisfaction, which are the properties of divine Shiv-Nandi. Every Shiv temple showcases

Nandi Ji looking towards the entrance of the main shrine. Nandi Ji is a symbol of eternal patience and waiting. In Indian culture waiting is considered one of the greatest virtues. The one who knows how to simply sit and wait can achieve anything on a spiritual level and can

Brahmagupta was the foremost Indian mathematician of his time. He made advances in astronomy and most importantly in number systems including algorithms for square roots and the solution of quadratic equations. He gave remarkable formulae for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral
