The Jagatpita Brahma Mandir (Brahma Temple) is the most important temple in Pushkar is dedicated to Lord Brahma, one of the holy trinity of Hinduism. It is one of the very few Hindu shrines in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma and remains the most important. Pushkar is one of India's oldest cities. The date of its actual founding is not known, but legend associates Lord Brahma with its creation. According to the Rajputana Gazetteer, Pushkar was held by Chechi Gurjars (Gujjars) till about 700 years ago. Later Some shrines were occupied by Kanphati Jogis. There are still some priests from the Gujar community in some of Pushkar's temples. They are known as Bhopas. The sage Parasara is said to have been born in Pushkar. His descendants, called Parasara Brahamanas, are found in Pushkar and the surrounding area. The famous temple of Jeenmata has been cared for by Parasara Brahmans for the last 1,000 years. Pushkarana Brahamanas may also have originated here. It is also the venue of the annu

Immediately west of the Royal Palace entrance gate, the rusty-red Jagannath Temple, built in 1653 by Mahendra Malla, enshrines a figure of the Chaturmurti Vishnu, the 'Four-Figured Vishnu'. This particular form of Vishnu is also called Jagannath, 'Lord of the World', and the etymological root of the English word 'juggernaut'. The main shrine in the Jagannath Temple is accessible only to priests. The large struts under the roof are covered with erotic carvings. These carvings, which are fairly crudely executed, occupy the base of larger and more refined carvings representing gods and goddesses. The latter are dressed in regal finery, adorned with crowns and jewellery, and wear serene expressions on their faces.

Nepal, Kathmandu Valley, Budhanilkantha, Sleeping Vishnu, hindu temple,

Encompassing a former royal palace, a wealth of temples and many other monuments, Durbar Square is Kathmandus historic and spiritual centre. The square, after years of neglect, was renovated in 1972-75 in the Hanuman Dhoka Project, initiated after the ascension to the throne of King Birendra. 'Durbar', or correctly darbar, means royal palace or royal court, but the locals prefer to call the square Hanuman Dhoka, 'Hanumans Gate', after the narrow palace gate which is guarded by a crimson-red figure of the monkey god Hanuman. The figure was set up in 1862 to protect the gate from ill luck and enemies of all sorts—or, as the Nepalese chronicles put it, from 'evil spirits, witches, and epidemics, such as smallpox'. Hanuman is worshipped mainly on account of his bravery and strength, and has often been adopted by Hindu soldiers as their patron deity. In times gone by, fortresses were guarded by images of Hanuman hewn into their walls, and the kings of Kathmandu and Bhaktapur displayed Han

Reclining Buddha inside Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is a Sacred Fig tree and is said to be a sapling from the historical Bodhi tree under which Buddha became enlightened. It was planted in 288 BCE, and is the oldest living human-planted tree in the world with a known planting date. Anuradhapura is one of Sri Lanka's ancient capitals and famous for its well-preserved ruins. From the 4th century BCE until the beginning of the 11th century CE it was the capital. During this period it remained one of the most stable and durable centers of political power and urban life in South Asia. The ancient city, considered sacred to the Buddhist world, is today surrounded by monasteries covering an area of over sixteen square miles (40 km).
