Kailasa Temple Kailasa temple is located in Ellora, Maharashtra. This temple is a magnificent architecture with lots of intricate designs and sculptures. It is the 16th cave temple of the 32 cave temples and monasteries which are together called the famous Ellora caves. The marvellous fact is that such a huge temple has been made by carving out an entire mountain! Chiselling an entire mountain for making such detailed, intricate sculptural carvings might have took a century or more. But making such an amazing architecture in 756 BC is hard to accept as it was a time when technology didn’t exist. Archaeologists say that the monument couldn’t be made only by humans. They say the craftsmen might have taken some extra-terrestrial help or used an alien technology for construction! Sugali Mata Temple Sugali Mata Temple is situated in Marwar, Rajasthan. There is a very weird story behind the deity sculpture of the temple. The necks of the deities’ sculptures here always remain tilted. Many trials have been made by many sculptors to straighten the necks but eventually in course of time the necks get tilted! Also the sculptors who try to change the sculpture’s neck fall sick. No one yet has been able to understand the reason for the same. Can all this be a mere coincidence or there is something supernatural behind it? What do you think? Rang Mahal Temple Rang Mahal Temple is situated amongst dense forest called Nidhivan of Vrindavan. What makes the temple a mysterious place is the abnormal activities noticed in the vicinity of the temple. As the temple is amidst dense forest, the trees in the forest have hollow barks and are dry but only the trees near the temple remain green throughout the year! Also no tree stands upright. All are bending towards the ground as if they are bowing to someone. The temple is shut every evening after the prayers.
