Why has not a single stone of the Khajuraho temples moved in over a thousand years?
No cement or adhesive was used: male stones were joined into female stones, an example of the physical property of materials. The temples were also oriented so that the sun's rays fall first at the deity's feet and, as the sun reaches the South-East, at another deity's feet.

How are male and female bricks identified, and why does it matter?
When struck, one brick gives a khan sound and the other a jhan sound: one is male and the other female, like plus and minus. Bricks and stones laid by joining male with female hold each other and never let go, which is why buildings 2,000 years old still stand as they are.

Are three doors in a straight row inauspicious?
They can be either. In the South and West, from where negative energy comes, three doors in a row on padas where doors should not be are inauspicious. In the North and East they are auspicious: temples, all built facing North or East, have three or five doors in a row, as do royal palaces, so the blanket belief that they are bad is a myth.
