You are not what you appear, You are what you think

  A long time ago, in a cute town in India, there lived a young boy named Raj. Raj was different from other boys. His dreams soared as high as the birds in the sky, and his heart was as vast as the fields that stretched endlessly around his house. He looked at the countryside with wide-open eyes, marveling at the natural wonders that whispered to him in a language only he could understand.

And guess what? People didn't build this temple by stacking stones on top of each other like Lego blocks. No, they carved it right out of the mountain, starting from the top and working their way down. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the most important gods in Hin...
