Hanging Pillar in Lepakshi #temples #ytshorts #shortslove

[Dil-se-dil-tak]

It’s very natural as the other end of the pillar touches the ground although it’s worth visiting the place but can’t deny the fact that not the entire pillar is in the air, it does touch the ground on one side of it.

The "hanging" pillar is an architectural marvel and is believed to demonstrate the advanced engineering skills of ancient Indian builders. The exact science behind it isn't entirely clear, but some possible explanations include:

1. **Architectural Design:** The pillar might have been intentionally designed with a slight tilt, balancing its weight in such a way that it appears to hover.

2. **Natural Settling:** Over centuries, the foundation might have settled unevenly, creating the appearance that the pillar is hanging.

3. **Structural Integrity:** The pillar could be part of a complex load distribution system where the weight is transferred through other parts of the structure, maintaining overall stability.

This architectural feature continues to attract tourists and researchers alike, fascinated by the blend of art and engineering from ancient times.

The Hanging Pillar Mystery refers to a fascinating architectural marvel found in the Veerabhadra Temple in Lepakshi, India. Among the many pillars in the temple, there is one pillar that doesn't touch the ground fully. Instead, it hangs from the ceiling slightly above the ground. This has puzzled visitors and researchers for years, but the temple's exact construction technique remains a mystery. Some suggest it's due to the temple's seismic construction or a demonstration of the skill of ancient builders.

Key points about the Lepakshi hanging pillar:

1. Location: It's one of 70 pillars in the temple's main hall (mandapa).

2. Unique feature: The pillar appears to be hanging, with its base barely touching the ground. You can pass thin objects like a sheet of paper or cloth under it.

3. Engineering marvel: Despite appearing to hang, the pillar supports the weight of the ceiling.

4. Mystery: The exact technique used to create this effect remains a subject of debate among historians and engineers.

5. Tourist attraction: Many visitors try to pass objects under the pillar to verify its hanging nature.

6. Legends: Local folklore attributes supernatural powers to the pillar, with some believing it was installed by Sage Agastya.

7. Conservation concerns: Over time, there have been worries about the pillar's stability due to constant testing by visitors.

The hanging pillar of Lepakshi is not just an architectural wonder but also a testament to the advanced engineering skills of ancient Indian craftsmen. It continues to be a source of fascination for tourists, historians, and engineers alike.

Holy cow I have one of these on my pole barn out back. Didn't know it was magical. Sweet!!

Settling and movement is a crazy thing isn’t it, people are astonished by anything lol. My house has moved probably an inch since we’ve had it, should I start praying to it?

Ek end to closed h hi na fir kya dikkat

[BabuLohar-smnj]

Why didn't you both took out the cloth from the other side of the pillar, so that could be confirmed that the left end of the pillar is not touching the ground.

[Samearthapa]

So what there are other so many piller holding it

[prashanthmba]

The other side is slightly touching the ground. Hence you can't take it completely to the other side.

No its a simple architectural science, earlier pillars were made of stone that were not grounded to plinth, instead were used to support the ceiling as blocks, when the ceiling is laid they used a combination lime and gravel for adhesion, it was used on both sides of pillar to create a bond between pillar and floor as well as ceiling.
Now over a period of time due to expansion due to heat, tectonic movements etc.. sometimes the pillars get disjoint from the ceiling and stand as lone piller but, sometimes it may also loose contact from ground and hang to ceiling. Thats it, it has no other supernatural power. Its simple architectural science.

Try to take that cloth from other side of the pillar and post the video.
It is not in the air, but it is just leaning

Yeh Lepakshi temple hai me gayi hu waha ❤❤

[Burgundy_towel]

The entire ceiling is pulled upwards due to seismic movements on earth and the pillar is attached to the ceiling but pulled out from floor..

This is the most famous archaeological site in Andhra Pradesh it is situated near our home town hindupur ❤❤ lepakshi

[vigumasri]

yes it's beautiful a place to visit❤

[nikhilasprabhu]

Dudeeee u went to Lepakshi 🎉🎉. It's not fully hanged

[adityajadav]

But why? Why did they make this one hang?

[premkumarnookala]

One end of the pillar touches ground, but it is a beautiful temple to visit!
