Explanation and notes
Khajuraho (built by the Chandel kings): no stone has moved in a thousand years because male and female stones were interlocked without adhesive, and the sun's rays fall first on the deity's feet and, as the sun moves to the South-East, on another deity's feet. Lightning has never struck them: Agni is regarded as a virgin goddess who feels shy at the nude carvings, and the pleasure-loving Indra is pleased and gives good rain. The kings also wanted their heirs not to turn into ascetics. Konark's sun temple is aligned so that the first ray of the Uttarayan sun reaches the deity's feet; Jaipur's Jantar Mantar is built on astrological calculation; at Dilwara (Mount Abu) the lines of every carved leaf and flower are counted exactly. Temples followed two famous styles, Nagar (north) and Dravid (south). Choose colours, shapes, elevations, symbols and figures such as elephants, horses or a kalash according to the owner's kundli.
