The Lepakshi temple and one of the 70 columns in it, which violates the laws of physics, due to the fact that it does not lean on the floor, but simply hangs, which obviously impresses people around the world, and it is difficult to find an explanation for this.
The temple is located near the city of Bangalore, and it was allegedly built in the 16th century, although I do not believe in this, although of course there is a probability.
As for the age, I can say that I have not even found a single fact that proves the version of construction in the 16th century, these are just official words, which may not be supported by anything at all.
Plus, most of the same amazing temples with incredible processing of basalt and granite were mainly built 2-3 thousand years ago and earlier.
Now to the temple itself. At first glance, nothing special for the unknown civilization of ancient India, about 70 granite columns, on average up to 5-6 meters high, with carved statues and various bas-reliefs.

In general, nothing unusual for an ancient civilization, for our own level of development it is something close to incredible, but the most interesting thing about the temple is the "hanging" column.
One of the many dozen columns stands out with only one - it does not touch its base to the floor. That is, a granite column weighing more than one hundred tons approximately and a height of 6 meters is simply suspended from the ceiling, which in theory is impossible, but apparently the ancient builders adhered to different rules.
Almost every tourist who visits the temple holds a piece of cloth or a scarf under the column, which shows that the column does not touch at any angle in the floor.
It is not known how the ancient builders did it and for what purpose, but there are many inexplicable things in India. On the channel I also wrote about the "singing columns" in the Vittala temple, all in the same India.
As for the Lepakshi temple, there are many more amazing things to be noted, for example, huge monolithic statues, frescoes and more, which cannot be explained without the transcendent level of technology.
The mystery of this column has not been solved to this day, the same can be said about general information. I am almost sure that the age of the temple is at least several thousand years, but who built it is a mystery.
