Some Magnificent Temples Of India

Dakshineswar Kali Temple, Dakshineswar (near Kolkata), West Bengal



Kedarnath temple, Kedarnath, Uttarakhan



Lord Kalabhairaveshwara Temple , Adichunchanagiri Math (95 Km from
Bangalore ), Karnataka

from Mangalore), Karnataka



Sri Krishna Temple , Guruvayur, Kerala

Suchindram Temple , Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu..



Sri Madhuru Madananteshwara Siddivinayaka Temple , Madhur
(50 kms from Mangalore), Kerala



Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala

The best part of the temple is the the huge idol of Lord Vishnu sleeping
over the snake is turning into gold(it weighs almost 700 kg)! It is believed
that when Mahmud of Ghazni invaded India in the middle ages, the people
of the then kingdom invented a black coating which would not wear out
even by the strongest chemicals. They coated the large idol with this so
that the plunderers wont come to know that its made up of gold. they
were unable to remove the coating after the invaders left. But recently,
in the past 10 yrs or so the coating is finally wearing out little by little.



Sri Virupaksha Temple , Hampi, Karnataka



Sri Venkateswara Temple , Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh



Sri Gokarnanatheshwara Temple , Mangalore, Karnataka



Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple Corridor, Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu

Shore Temple , Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu



Arulmigu Arunachaleswarar Temple , Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu
