The first of these structures is the Hoysalesvara Temple. The temple is located in Halebid (the ancient capital of Hoysala). Hoysala is a dynasty that existed from the XII to the XV century approximately, according to the official history. Plus, they claimed to have unique pieces of architecture.
Somehow the official history of the object sounds like this. Perhaps I do not understand something, although I wrote and saw many objects not only in India, but throughout Asia, however, I did not see any unique architecture in this temple.
Although the level is the same as throughout India, the carved columns and the temple itself are somewhat outrageous.
Most of the walls show incredible carvings, various images, animals, other patterns, etc. In addition, it is worth noting separately small elements that are not even very easy to see, not to mention creation, but in the past everyone did this.
By the way, I would like to separately mention some not very clear bas-reliefs, especially for that time. One of these is a creature with something very similar to a telescope. But the temple is about 800-900 years old, and the telescope was allegedly created in 1608.

As far as I remember, there are still some bas-reliefs that do not really fit into the official version. The bas-relief with the telescope seems to depict the battle of the "gods", but the telescope looks like a real one, which makes it possible to assume that the battle was real and was watched. But this we hardly ever know.
In general, the construction is incredible, such a carving was possible, as scientists say, because of the so-called "soapstone", which was soft when carved, and then hardened. Even if this is true, the accuracy of small elements is still questionable.
Recently, I wrote an article about Ranakpur and of all time, it was one of the most incredible temples that I have ever seen. The temple is not so far from the city of Udaipur and it was built entirely of marble.
In the case of this temple, not only the architecture allegedly created, but also the official history, which states that the huge temple was built by 4 people in 50 years, is under great doubt.
If anything, you can read in more detail about the temple in my article, but in short we can say that there are almost 1,500 columns, each of which is unique in its form, which is surprising.
The columns in the temple are one of the most impressive, as they were often large, the maximum height of the columns reached 12 meters. Plus, how they were cut and made monolithic, but in this form, is difficult to answer.
In fact, in the case of this temple, it is better not to tell anything, but just look at a lot of photos that convey the whole view of the architecture and the temple itself.
And the last in the article will be the Vittala Temple. This object has its own characteristics, apart from the architecture. The building is located in Hampi and to this day raises many questions about the knowledge and capabilities of the ancient civilization of builders.
Of course, ancient temples not only in India, but throughout Asia, as a rule, amaze with their architecture. But the temple of Vittala is not so incredible, in terms of many bas-reliefs, many carved columns and more, there is something else, namely, the "singing columns".
At first glance, they look quite simple, relative to other carved columns in India. Each of these columns is responsible for a separate note, which they still cannot explain.
How ancient builders could achieve this is almost impossible to answer, but what is, that is. In principle, the ancient civilization that existed on the territory of Asia, as a whole, left many unresolved mysteries.
However, there is a stone chariot near the Vittala temple, already in which many elements stand out, and they are small, but made at the highest level.
It seems to me that this chariot can be separately compared with some kind of temple, since the appearance and dimensions are amazing and difficult to explain, if you believe in rough work and lack of technology, respectively.
The only conclusion that can be drawn after all that has been seen is the incredible architecture, which in many ways is most likely impossible or difficult even for our time. The article turned out to be long, but I hope it was interesting, but that's all.
