Intricate Ancient Masterpieces That You Can Only Appreciate When You Zoom In (30 Pics)
Unbelievably intricate and beautiful ancient architecture! You can only appreciate this fully when you zoom in and OBSERVE.
These are from India and I feel so sad when I compare the kind of architecture that we had versus what we now have! Just imagine how grand these architectural masterpieces would look if they were restored to their original condition?!
I only have one word for these: Epitome!

Gopurams, temples found in South India with wonderful intricate carvings. Some depicting ancient history.

How big are they? They look like they're hundreds and hundreds of feet high! How far back in history do the carvings show? This is just phenomenal, I've never seen such a thing!

Please give more information on where these are, and what their names are?

I don't know exactly but our God Kartikeya was mounted on a Mayura (Peacock). These carvings will be found on South Indian temples.

This is the entrance to the well where water would be stored. Usually next to a temple.

This is not a temple, but a palace. Hawa Mahal, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.

Yes, Hawa Mahal Jaipur. Where the Queens and ladies in the courts and palaces would comes to view the processions going from the road below. As purdah system was present the ladies had to hide their face with a viel in presence of a male. These Jharokhas (windows with intricate carvings) in Hawa Mahal gave the ladies the freedom to view those processions.
