RE: A winter pilgrimage to Rudranath temple

Oh, what an incredible adventure. I wonder what drove the men who built that temple in such an inaccessible place, beyond the founding myth. I suppose they used only materials available in the area, but after that they have been many centuries dedicated to maintaining it, which is the most difficult thing. Seeing more than a hundred peaks must be an experience from up there, wow, what an experience! I enjoyed your photos, they’re so beautiful.

This temple is associated with Indian mythology and was built by the Pandavas in 1500 BCE. The Pandavas were five brothers who came here to meet the Hindu god Shiva. They built this temple using a combination of stones and trees using interlock technique which cannot break even due to heavy snowfall and earthquake.
And you will not believe that such temples do not even require maintenance. Thank you for your comment and I send you best wishes from this temple.
I have always been fascinated by the wisdom of men from ancient times, how they achieved constructions capable of supporting millennia. Enjoy your stay there a lot.
