Ancient Indian structures - who built them and why? (+ Photo)

India is a country with a very old and distinctive history. Here is just a small part of the data on ancient buildings in India. 

On the territory of the Peramalla Padu settlement, the locals first found, and then manually dug a temple, which has been under a layer of sand for the last 80 years. It was built 200 years ago.

The elders of the village said that the ancient temple was completely covered with a layer of mud and sand, after the Penn River, which flowed in this area, changed its bed.

According to the official version, the locals failed to save not only the temple complex itself, because everything happened quickly, but also to save all the valuables that are there. And not long ago, the locals started digging. During the works, the villagers, among others, found the statue of Shiva.

It can be seen that they did not dig up the whole temple, but only the upper part of it. How deep should a river be to destroy an entire temple? And why did he change his bed so "suddenly"?

In the Panchavarnasvami temple, built 2,300 years ago, traveler and researcher Pravin Mohan discovered the image of a cyclist.

At first, scientists said that the bas-relief is a fake created in the restoration process of 1920, but research has shown no signs of restoration, because the drawing is not cut, it stands out, which assumes that it was made at the time column manufacturing and processing.

Okay Chand Baori

The stepped fountain is far from the tourist routes. Its depth is 30 meters, and in the well there are about 3,500 stairs arranged in perfect rectangular blocks. Earthquake resistant. It was built in the ninth century. According to local legend, he was created in one day by the "white spirits". Quarries and construction traces are missing. Official purpose: groundwater collection.

And now, the questions that immediately arise regarding this majestic structure: stairs without railings, if people carried water there, as official history says, then they risked death. In addition, water has the property of spoiling and becoming dangerous to health. The standard depth of modern missile mines is 30 meters.

Barabar cave system. 200-300 BC HR.

The caves are carved in gnais (mountain rock), which in terms of hardness is not inferior to granite. All surfaces (ceilings, walls, etc.) are polished to gloss. In the caves is perfect acoustics and ventilation. Water tanks are installed and the doors are tightly closed. There is a version that the caves were used in ancient times as shelters in case of bombing. The vaults are able to withstand a nuclear blow. In addition, ancient skeletons with a high radiation content are often found in the vicinity.

Perfect sculpture

The columns of the Shravanbelagol Temple complex clearly demonstrate the high knowledge of the ancient masters. The temple was built in record time in the 10th century . 

Scientists cannot answer the question of how the sculpted columns were created and why they have remained in perfect condition until now, because without lathes and milling machines, it is simply impossible to do so.

Kaylas Temple

It is noteworthy that it is completely cut from the rock. And a very long period of time was built, although according to an Indian legend, the temple was built in a week. Even with modern technology, it is unlikely that this will be done manually, especially in a week.
