In this article, I will talk about one of the most incredible temples in India that I have seen. There will be a lot of images in the article, so I advise you to watch everything and not miss the galleries, as the temple is truly incredible. Let's start!
No matter how long I have been writing articles, India does not continue to amaze me. I have already written about 15-20 articles about India all the time, but apparently, I still do not know about many objects, and one of them, the Ranakpur temple.
The temple is located about 60 kilometers from the city of Udaipur and it is considered one of the largest and most incredible in terms of beauty of architecture, which is rather strange, since I learned about it recently. Although I have been studying India for a long time, finding more and more interesting objects.
When I read about the temple, I was, to put it mildly, amazed at the absurdity of the story and the "fairy tales" in which, apparently, people want to believe and believe. So, according to history, the Ranakpur temple was built by 4 people in the 15th century in 50 years, is not it impressive?
Maybe, of course, these 4 people possessed some kind of magic, since it is simply impossible to explain the creation of this temple in another way. But to understand why the version sounds so absurd, you need to see this temple in all the beauty of ancient architecture.

As far as we know, the entire temple and all the elements, respectively, are made in marble. The material is not the easiest to work with, since any movement can simply destroy an entire column.
By the way, in this very temple there are 1444 columns, and each is unique. That is, the columns were not repeated, they were all different, which is rather strange, and even in India this can hardly be seen anywhere, except for the Ranakpur temple. And some of the columns reach a height of 12 meters, which is no less impressive.
In general, in the temple itself, as in many other structures in India, many incredible statues, amazing columns, ceilings of some transcendental level and much more are taken from an open source.
Experts note the ideally thought-out architectural plan of the temple. The facility was purposely built to let in daylight. In addition, everything has been precisely engineered to perfectly balance the structure.
So what do we know? The temple occupies a huge area, with almost 1500 unique carved columns, with amazing architecture in marble. A lot of statues and bas-reliefs of various sizes and at the end 4 people who built all this in 50 years, a plausible version, isn't it?
And after all, they say this in all seriousness, the only question is, does anyone believe in it? In general, the temple is one of the most incredible structures in Asia that I know of at the moment. Although I know and have written about many objects.
As for the true age of the temple and the technologies used in the construction, one can only guess, but I somehow doubt that it was a favorite of scientists, a hammer with a chisel.
