2021-07-21 09:30:04 Nandeshwar mandir is located at a distance of 25km from Akola, Maharashtra in Lasur village of Daryapur taluka, Amravati district. This temple seems to be of Hemadpanthi style where rocks of different sizes are stuck in one another such that it holds the entire structure. This temple is त्रिदल meaning that it has three गाभारे (sanctum). सभामंडप(hall) of this temple is open and its termed as स्वर्गमंडप. This unique open roof structure can be seen in very very few places and it becomes one the prime reason to visit here. Anandeshwar temple is standing on 12 pillars. Beautiful and intricate carvings can be seen inside and outside the temple. Though it has less sculptures, the sculptures which are present, are really carved with minute details.

2021-07-20 11:30:09 Shantadurga Kunkallikarin temple, Fatorpa, Goa. This temple used to be in my village, Cuncolim. In the 1580s, Portuguese destroyed the temple. Local Hindus took the Murti away and established a new temple in Fatorpa, then a secluded jungle. The temple is community controlled.
