TEMPLE #brainteasers
Guess the temple
Mostly all will know ..
Write up follows ImageImageImageImage
Bateshwar Temple complex is located in Morena district in Madhya Pradesh. Temple also known as Batesara or Batesvar and is situated on a hilly range about 30 km from Gwalior city near the village of Padavali. It is believed that there are almost 200 temples dedicated
to Bhagwan Shiva, Vishnu and Shakti within an area of 25 acres. The name Bateshwar is believed to have been derived from Bhooteshwar, another name for Bhagwan Shiva.
The temples are said to have been built during the 8th to 10th century AD by the Gurjara – Pratihara dynasty that
ruled a large part of northern India from the mid-eighth century to the 11th century. The Pratihars considered themselves as Suryavanshis and are said to be the descendants of Lakshman from the epic Ramayan.
It is believed that the complex had 400 small and big temples but no
one knows exactly how these temples became ruins.
The current theory is that an earthquake sometime after the 13th century completely destroyed the complex.
With the tireless efforts of the ASI, recently some temples have been reconstructed &given their original form.

migration and capture of land and if there is land jihad, one has to just study Bet Dwarka island,then all the process will be understood.Until a few years ago, almost the entire population here was Hindu. This is the area under Okha municipality, where the only approach is

Kamalahassan's Uttama Villan vs Kantara
Kantara has made whole India look back,the nation is celebrating the movie,pouring collections & gathering attention from people of all walks of life-young & old. The main scene of the film is Bhoot kola dance,a traditional dance of
Karnataka & relayed to Kerala too
Kamal Haasan also used this kind of dance in his film, with his usual attitude "I Know Everything I Know & I Will Play Politics with people's emotions & beliefs" . It was this dance that he filmed as "Uttama Villain". The film flopped & producer

Taiyam in kantara,which tells the story of faith in God and the tradition of the country, is a huge success and is moving towards the
