Hanging pillar

The Hanging Pillar at Lepakshi, Andhra Pradesh


An important archaeological and historical site in India, Lepakshi is known for its architecture and painting. This temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is among the most mysterious places in India, owing to its famous floating pillar.

The Mystery: Among the 70 pillars at the site, one is hanging in mid-air, that is, it exists without a support. People come to the temple and pass objects under the pillar, believing it’ll bring prosperity into their lives!
The Theory: People believe it’s just another of the many genius tricks the temple builders of the old were capable of.

    I'm really proud of our ancestors that they have great archeological skills. The fact that people think by passing objects under that pillar would bring prosperity is what I can't get it.

The human brain is usually compared to the most advanced technology of the day.It’s been compared to a clock, a switchboard, a computer, and, most recently, to the Internet.You might be surprised to learn that, in every way it’s been tested, the brain is still far superior to the most powerful computers in existence.                 I would like to share some interesting facts about human brain:        Your brain’s storage capacity is considered virtually unlimited.

Astoundingly, this is about the same amount needed to store the entir...
