#HidimbaDeviTemple, locally known as #DhungariTemple, also known variously as the #HadimbaTemple, is located in #Manāli, a hill station in the State of #HimāchalPradesh in #NorthIndia. It is an ancient cave temple dedicated to Hidimbi Devi, wife of Bhima, a figure in the Indian epic Mahābhārata. The temple is surrounded by a cedar forest called #DhungiriVanVihar at the foot of the #Himālayas. The sanctuary is built over a huge rock jutting out of the ground which was worshiped as an image of the deity. The structure was built in 1553 by Maharaja Bahadur Singh.
The very beautiful and fascinating #KandrourBridge is 8 kilometers from #Bilaspur on National Highway No-88. It is across the river Satluj. Its construction was started in April,1959 and was completed in 1965. The span of the bridge is about 280 meters with a breadth of about seven meters and the height above the lowest river bed below is about 80 meters, making it one of the highest bridge in the world. It is ranked first in Asia for its height. It has provided a link between Bilaspur, Ghumarwin and Hamirpur district, and is a marvelous engineering feat. The pillars supporting the bridge are hollowed.

#KedarnathTemple is a Hindu temple (shrine) dedicated to #Shiva. Located on the #Garhwal #HimalayanRange near the #MandakiniRiver, #Kedarnath is located in the state of #Uttarakhand, India. Due to extreme weather conditions, the temple is open to the general public only between the months of April (Akshaya Tritiya) and November (Kartik Purnima, the autumn full moon). During the winters, the vigraha (deity) from Kedarnath temple is carried down to Ukhimath and where the deity is worshiped for the next six months. Kedarnath is seen as a homogenous form of Shiva, the 'Lord of Kedarkhand', the historical name of the region.
Sri Yaganti Uma Maheswara Temple is 14 km away from Banaganipalli in Kurnool district, 55 km from Nandyal, 80 km from Kurnool, 308 km from Hyderabad, 359 km from Vijayawada.
Yaganti is one of the most famous Shiva Temple in Andhra Pradesh state. The temple dates back to 5th and 6th centuries with contributions from Pallavas, Cholas, Chalukyas and Vijayanagara rulers.
According to Potuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy, the Basavanna (stone nandi) of Yaganti will come alive and shout when Kali Yuga ends.
It is said that people used to do Pradakshinas (rounds) around it in the past. The temple staff has already removed one pillar as the size of the Nandi has increased. The devotees believe that the Nandi (Bullock, Lord Shiva’s) idol in front of the temple is continuously increasing its size.
The locals say that the idol was initially much smaller than its present size. They say that certain experimentation was carried out on this idol and it was said that the type of rock out of which the idol is carved has a growing or enlarging nature associated with it. As per Archaeological Survey of India the rock grows at the rate of 1 inch per 20 years (10 mm per 8 years).

Main entrance of the #NeemranaFort, whIch is part of the original structure and preserved as it is .
The Fort Palace of #Neemrana is about 125 km from Delhi, on the road to Jaipur in #Rajasthan. Built in 1464, #NeemranaFortPalace became the third capital of the descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan III , who had fled Delhi in 1192 after he was vanquished in battle by Muhammad Ghori.
Neemrana’s rulers, proud of lineage, continued to assert themselves, even under the British, as their kingdom suffered. In 1947, Raja Rajinder Singh of Neemrana moved down to Vijay Bagh and the Fort Palace crumbled as its ramparts began to give way. For forty years he tried to rid himself of his liability but there were no takers.
In 1986 the ruins were acquired for restoration and by 1991 the fort Palace was resplendent and majestic once again. The restoration has not tampered or altered any original design feature, not even Windows and doors.
