Ancient Madhya Pradesh was truly the pinnacle of Hindu Architecture. Unbelievable this 1500 yr Varaha lay in ruins for over 600 years before being rediscovered in the early 18th century. The kind of treasures Bharat lost due to invasions is unquantifiable
For benefit of those asking, this is from the 5th century Vishnu temple at Eran in Madhya Pradesh, one of the most glorious ancient cities of the Gupta Empire. Totally destroyed by islamic barbarians.
Badly ravaged by islamic barbarians. Mutilated murthis of Narasimha & Vishnu 😞. Notice how barbarically the foot has been separated from the rest of the body. 
Barbaric islamic iconoclasm. Brutal. Much like any other ancient Hindu site. This is the story of Bharat. 
Dwajasthambam with Lord Vishnu riding the his vahana Garuda at the very top. As @TrueIndology points out it is of a similar design to the Iron Pillar at Qutb complex in Delhi. Islamic barbarians destroyed the top portion of it though. 
Close up of the Varaha murthi with hundreds of rishis embossed on it. Also seen in the right is the carving of Bhoomadevi, who is rescued from asura Hiranyaksha.
