Dear Friends Happy Evening Sharing the Photo of the Day Our country has a rich cultural heritage. Our ancient Hindu Temples are known for the engineering marvels Padmanabhaswamy Temple is located in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.  The temple is built in an intricate fusion of the indigenous Kerala style  and the Tamil style and a 16th-century Gopuram. It is a seven storey tower with a pair of windows exactly in the middle. On equinoxes the sun sets passing exactly through each of the  windows in roughly 5 minutes interval.On equinoxes, the sun rises and sets exactly in the east and west respectively. To see the sun setting,the tower is constructed exactly  at right angle to the east west line,a feat requiring high engineering skill. On other days the setting sun is blocked out from our view by the tower. Kind Regards   https://youtu.be/Pl1CfA3ek0I?t=3&fbclid=IwAR0B9RzeLWZkwYTXuZfxBK9ho_-5BipzUbmFcVxL4_XCK6IrGqae3tO8pIA...
