No worries, Marathaman!

Thank you so much for the amazing review of India. There is literally no place like it in the world, and you have single-handedly captured its richness and variety.

Congratulations on a stupendous post!

Buddhist site at Mansar, Maharashtra
Copyright Western Routes@picasaweb

Mansar is a rich archaeological site with remains dating from several periods of Indian history

Brick-built stupas and Buddhist universities have been unearthed from the Maurya(~200 BCE) and Vakataka(~ 400 CE) dynasties. A seal-making factory of the Vakatakas discovered nearby has provided strong evidence that this was the Pravareswaradeva Kulasthanam — the abode of the presiding deity of the Vakataka dynasty.

The Khanqah mosque, known as the Shah Hamdan Masjid, sits on the right bank of the river Jhelum between the third and fourth bridges. It was built in 1395 by Shah Sikandar to commemorate the visit of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamdani, better known as Shah Hamdan. Fire claimed the mosque several times in the following centuries and the current structure, as seen today (except for the more recent cloisters), was sponsored by Abul Barkat Khan in 1732. It now stands 38 meters tall.

Such beautiful structures, I wonder what went into the design of these massive structures (at least weight wise) and they stood test of time.
