Discover serenity at Jagdish Mandir, an architectural gem nestled in the vibrant city of Udaipur.
Surya Narayan temple at Nirath, near Rampur Bushayr in Himachal Pradesh.
The temple at Nirath has been dated to the 11th-12th century CE , and it is associated with stories from the Mahabharata and the Pandavas, while locals claim that it was built during Dwapara Yuga.
Architecture wise it is nagara saili, & very distinctly bears the eastern Indian temple style with clear Pala-Sena handwork.
Evidently renovated or built over the remains of an older temple (of the Pala dynasty, as evident from the typical Pala art style sculptures kept inside the mandapa), the current shikhara show workmanship of a later period (16th-17th centuries; hence likely handwork of the Sena dynasty). The Shikhara has the face of Surya carved on all four sides.
A number of old stone Shivlingas found while building the dam and nearby roads are kept in the courtyard of the temple.
The sanctum contains a black stone murti of Surya riding a chariot pulled by seven horses and carrying two lotuses in his hands.

Halebeedu, also spelled as Halebidu or Halebid, is a small town located in the Hassan district of Karnataka, India. It is famous for its magnificent Hoysala temples, which are considered as masterpieces of Indian temple architecture.
The Hoysala dynasty was a powerful South Indian dynasty that ruled over parts of present-day Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh between the 10th and 14th centuries. Halebeedu served as the capital of the Hoysala Empire during the 12th century under the rule of King Vishnuvardhana.

Kedarnath Yatra
Brihadishvara Temple, called Rajarajesvaram (lit. 'Lord of Rajaraja') by its builder, and known locally as Thanjai Periya Kovil (lit. 'Thanjavur Big Temple') and Peruvudaiyar Kovil, is a Shaivite Hindu temple built in a Chola architectural style located on the south bank of the Cauvery river in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. It is one of the largest Hindu temples and an exemplar of Tamil architecture. It is also called Dakshina Meru (Meru of the South). Built by Chola emperor Rajaraja I between 1003 and 1010 CE, the temple is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Great Living Chola Temples", along with the Chola-era Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple and Airavatesvara temple, which are about 70 kilometres (43 mi) and 40 kilometres (25 mi) to its northeast respectively.
The Tomb of Muhammad Ghauss
Amidst the innovatively named locality of Tansen Nagar in Gwalior lies the tomb of a Sufi saint who was revered by the newly arrived Padshah of Hindustan, Babur.
Mohammed Ghaus Gwaliori was a Sufi saint of the Shattari Silsilah in the 16th century.
Shattari was a newly founded Sufi silsilah that had its roots in Persia. Abdullah Shattar, the founder, reached India during the reign of the Lodhis in Delhi.
He was probably unable to adjust to the 'ruhaniyat' of the Sufi khanqas in Delhi, so he soon moved to Jaunpur and eventually settled in Mandu.
Some 50 years later, his successor, Muhammad Ghaus Shattari, found an opportunity to enhance his prestige and he helped a zealous Persianised Turk who wanted to establish his empire in India.
