They exemplify early North Indian Nagara style architecture with cut rock as the building block. They are in ruins from post-14th century Sultanate raids, with an Islamic Dargah built from and inserted into temple compound near the Taraka Brahma temple. A village museum near the group shows the collection of ruined artwork and statues.

It’s a request to all who see this post- please stop using the term “idol” for our deities. An idol is a western concept and mainly refers to decorative sculptures and ornamental human figurines.
Our gods are alive to us, and mean much more than just mere decorative idols. Use terms like murtis, vigharas, pratimas…

Some Indian scholars believe that Asura Maya Danava is the exact same character who created the Mayan calendar for the Mayans. The similarities between these statues on separate continents show how the two cultures were possibly connected.

Today the whole Facebook, YouTube and other Social Media is full of photos of Moon and Venus.This scene was very beautiful. But it is necessary to know the aspect of Sanatan Science behind it...
How prosperous our Sanatan is, you can clearly see it in this horoscope made at 8:40 pm.Moon and Venus both are together in the 7th house and we all saw the same scene in the sky.

When the telescope was not even invented thousands of years ago, our ancestors have been doing these calculations, which are very accurate and scientific too.But alas, our astrology which is thousands, lakhs of years old is neglected by modern aged people...........
