Monuments of India and Conclusion by Swara
Built in year 1591,in Hyderabad by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the 5th
Sultan of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty, Charminar is considered a monument
as well as a mosque.Charminar has four grand arches and four minarets
on each corner of a square.. It is interesting to note that the number
‘char’ or four and its multiples can be figured in at least 22 spots in the
design of the structure

Ranakpur Jain Temple of 15th century in Pali district of Rajasthan is considered

one of the largest Jain temples in the country, it is dedicated to Adinatha, the
first Tīrthaṅkara of Jainism. It is also known for the dense network of 1,444
carved pillars, despite which the design allows a clear sight of the idol of
Adinatha.

Lepakshi Temple in Andhra Pradesh :Jatayu from the Ramayana fell at this
spot while trying to save Sita Maa from Ravana. Sri Ram said to Jatayu “Le
Pakshi”, which in Telugu means “Rise O Bird”. Jatayu rose for one final time
and died in Sri Rama’s arms. Hence came the name – Lepakshi..
Inside the main temple there are over 70 pillars and out of them there is one
which does not rest on the ground! This is a mystery that engineers have no
answer to! It is believed if you move that pillar, all the pillars move too.
