Ancient machine found in thousands years old Hindu temple

The ancient Hindu temple conserves many mysterious facts and secrets within itself. Those mysteries are sometimes lost in the stream of time, and sometimes revealed in the future. The ancient Hindu temples are the living exhibitions of ancient arts, literatures and sculptures. 

The sculptures carved on the temple walls show variations of the ancient lifestyle along with the Hindu mythology and Hindu history. Hinduism is a combination of rational and sacred values, rituals, daily activities and customs that has developed over the course of over seven thousand years and embodies complicated symbolism that combines philosophy and the natural world.Ever wondered if we need so much machinery to build a small house then is it believable that the ancient designers and builders who constructed such beautiful temples, which still stand today, in ancient time, did not use any instruments to cut and join the rocks? The ancient Indian Temples clearly show that there were stone carving and melting technology developed in ancient India.

Amruteshvara temple and ancient Machine

Amruteshvara temple is situated in Amruthapura village, 67 km north of Chikmagalur town in the Chikkamagaluru district of the Karnataka state,India. In 1196 C.E. the temple was constructed, by Amrutheshwara Dandanayaka, under Hoysala King Veera Ballala II.

Hindu temples began as simple shrines housing a deity and had developed into well-articulated buildings by the time of Mahabharata era. Where worshipers sought the transcendence of the everyday world. In this article I am going to show you some solid evidence of ancient machine technology at Amruteshvara temple and will discuss about Hoysala’s Temple Science. If you stare at the temple pillars, you can find something really strange about these pillars, if you look carefully at them, you can see these minute circular marks all around the pillar. These are formed by machining the pillar on a lathe, which is called Turning. These are no ways to do this manually with chisels and hammers.

Metal Tuning in lathe

If you look at these pillars, the truth that they were made of machines is crystal clear. In fact, archaeologists agree that these pillars were created in a lathe but do not offer any convincing explanation as to how these massive pillars were machined 1000 years ago. Today we can create these remarkable grooves and designs on a lathe, but even today it would be very difficult to machine a 14-foot-tall rock pillar. So how these pillars were created in ancient times with incredible perfection...? Did ancient Indians use machines and advanced tools, just like what we use today? Is this why we see such impossible perfections on the pillars and sculptures? We can see some 10 ft tall God’s sculptures with the extraordinary  ornaments. Most probably the sculptures are of Bhairava. His crown is decorated with skulls which are less than one inch wide. The amazing things are hidden in the skulls of 1 inch size. The skulls are hollow inside. It is impossible to remove the inside of a small sphere which is only 1 inch wide. There is a very small gaps between the head and crown.The gap is less than 3 millimeters wide. How could any one create a small gap, less than 3 millimeters wide with primitive chisels?  

extraordinary single rock cut pillar, according to rough estimate more than thousand small and fine idols with different designs have been carved in this single rock pillar , today this type of art is impossible without machines, even machines can't bring this type of super perfections.

Even with modern machine it would be very difficult to create such skulls ornaments with this perfections. Even the level of polishing is so smooth that after 1000 of years you can literary see your face like a mirror.

But we know creating a hollow sphere inside of such  small rock is impossible with primitive tools. Archaeologists confirmed that this 10 foot tall figures are made of one solid rock. How do you explain these extraordinary sculptures made 1000 years go?  

Amruteshvara’s Temple Science

The temple is an architecture constructed by Hoysala with a broad open mantapa. The temple has an integral exterior wall with circular sculptures that are similarly spaced. The temple has one vimana and is therefore an ekakuta design, with a closed mantapa (hall) connecting the sanctum with the big open mantapa. The mantapa has several deeply domed internal ceiling structures decorated with floral patterns.The open mantapa's exterior parapet wall has a total of hundred and forty panel sculptures with the representation of Hindu mythology (Puran) and Hindu history.

The Ramayana is carved on 70 panels on the south side wall, with the narrative going quite exceptionally in the direction of anti-clockwise. All representations on the north side wall are clockwise, a standard in the architectural articulation of Hoysala. Twenty-five panels portray Sri Krishna's life and the other forty-five panels portray scenes from the Mahabharata  and it’s  spirituality. The giant stone inscription near the porch represents poems written by Janna, a medieval Kannada poet. 

Hoysala Architecture

Hoysala architecture is the construction style developed between the 11th and 14th centuries under the rule of the Hoysala Empire, in the region today known as Karnataka, a state of India. In the 13th century, when it dominated the Southern Deccan Plateau area, Hoysala's impact was at its peak.  The entire tradition of Hoysala architectural style comprises a period of early 7th century under the patronage of Badami's Chalukya dynasty, further developed during the 9th and 10th centuries under Manyakheta's Rashtrakutas, and the 11th and 12th centuries under Basavakalyan's Western Chalukyas (or Later Chalukyas).

The temples, belong Hoysala era, were not restricted to any specifically organized Hindu tradition but  encouraged pilgrims from various Vedic spirituality and Hindu devotional movements. Usually the Hoysalas dedicated their temples to Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Mahalakshmi, Devi Shakti, along with various deities and their stories  but sometimes they also constructed temples dedicated to Jain Tradition.

See the art of carving on Domical ceiling at Amrutesvara temple, Is this type of  fine art on single rock is possible without machine even today?
