my favourite South Indian temple is Brihadisvara temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. at least 130000 tonnes of granite has been used to construct the Temple. but there is no granite mountain or rocky hill 100 km radius around Thanjavur. it is said that around 3,000 elephants were used to bring those stones from far away. the architecture is based on interlock method also known as puzzle technique. no cement, stucco, plaster, adhesive were used between the stones. one stone is placed over another to lock it. it was built without digging the land which means it was built on plain land. 81 tonnes stone is placed over the temple Tower at the height of over 160 feet known as kumbam. there were no crane or Power machinery to lift the stone to height. to the top of the temple tower they made a ramp 6 km long which took 6 years to build. elephants, horses, bulls and labourers worked together to bring this single piece of stone and placed over the temple, exquisitely carved. Temple said to have several underground passages which connects to several other places most of them are now sealed. it is over 1000 years old gone through 6 earthquakes, a major fire and still standing in style.
That tourist guide who u met knows very well about this temple u just missed his explanation,,this temple is UNESCO world heritage site build 1000 years before, ur visit is like viewing the cover of a book with out reading it
That guide was unprofessional and rude. I have met many like him in thanjavur and darasuram and kumbakonam. He should have told the price. they are by and large uncouth and boorish.
Haha but I heard that he was a famous tour guide. Making a vlog with him would for sure beneficially for that tour guide too. No need to overcharge then

Do you know when Ramayana is written? Grammar and meter were perfectly followed in this legend. So, the language of Sanskrit should be sufficiently older than Ramayana. Tamil is ancient, beautiful and respect worthy. But to say that no other language existed at that time can not be accepted.

Let’s take two languages X and Y at time t0. Then at a later date through times t1-t5, we will have Xt1, Xt2, Xt3, Xt4 and Xt5 similarly, Yt1, Yt2, Yt3, Yt4 and Yt5. Now, which of these is oldest? Most would answer Xt0 and Yt0. But, in fact none exists other than Xt5 and Yt5. Since, languages are primarily spoken they don't exist beyond the point of utterance. Assume now, we have written records left for each of these, viz., Xt3, Xt4 and Xt5 but Yt4, and Yt5. Which of these is oldest? People would quip with Xt3. In fact, Xt3 wouldn't have come into existence without Xt0, Xt1, Xt2. Therefore, the answer is wrong. Hence we should say Xt3 and Yt4 were the earliest recorded stages of X and Y but not the oldest representations of X and Y. Logically, Xt5 and Yt5 are the continuities of Xt0 and Yt0 through ages. Neither of X and Y is older than the other. Ofcourse! It's lot more complex than this. The closeness between X0 and X3 than the closeness between Y0 and Y1. It gets even more complex. X0 not only creates X1 in T1, but also X1-1,X1-2 and so on,in the same T.X1-2 then to X2-2--1,X2-2--2etc.... Then X2-2--2 to X2-2--2---1,X2-2--2---2 etc.... So does Y0. You can call them different languages or different dialects. It's subjective. Things don't end here. X3-3--3---4 might influence X3-3--1---2 to create a new language (X3-3--3---4)(X3-3--1---2). But whether this newly created language be given an independent language status is subjective. It depends on the magnitude of influence. Just like there's magnitude of influence, there's magnitude of mutation too to pave the way for more vagueness.(Plot twist: The language X0 was P5-6--9---2----7-----12 and Y0 was P5-2--4---2----7-----1). Now I'd like to know which one is the oldest living language. ((X3-3--3---4)(Y3-3--1---2)3-3) ((X2-1--3)(X2-3--1)3-1--3). Or..((Y3-1--2---1)(Y3-3--1---2)3-2) ((X2-1--2)(X2-1--1)3-2--3)?????

Hello guest . All temples in India represents about light waves along with sounds. Our body has 6 crore light waves . Our body indirectly connected with Cosmos,thats why we use to call all sre mayaa ( super natural Power by Lord and demons) . What you saw those books are holy books about the same mayaa .. same like black statue of Marry in UK..
Thousands of them, but almost 50+thousand temples are either destroyed or converted to Mosques by the then Muslim invaders, even the temples that are still standing if you can see most the statues faces are deformed by the invaders and Some statutes and even some Big wall with murals are stolen by the British and other colonizers...
about 700000 temples in India. also many household has a small Temple like room in their home. there will be a room in the traditional indian house where idols of deities are kept and worshipped.
Most of north Indian says sanskrit is older than tamil,, and rich language,, but no one knows how to speak sanskrit,, no one wants to learn,, very funny guys,, but tamil is pride of Tamil people,,
