1. 4 Structures That Showcase Diversity in Indian Architecture www.accessarchitects.in

2. Sun Temple An extremely popular destination among tourists, the Sun Temple is a majestic work of art and architecture. Built on a grand scale and across a large piece of land, the temple boasts intricacy in the form of carvings and statues, but what’s most impressive about this 13th century CE monument is the fact that it has 24 huge wheels all around it, a design that makes the entire temple look like a gigantic chariot! www.accessarchitects.in

3. Thikse Monastery A sprawling religious construction located in the midst of greenery and natural beauty; the Thikse Monastery is a jewel in the heart of the Indus valley. Loved by architectural minds and all the top architecture firms in India, Thikse is the biggest monastery in the Ladakh area. Its beauty is accentuated by the fact that it’s situated at an altitude of 3,600 metres. www.accessarchitects.in

4. Lotus Temple One of the most modern and innovative temple structures built in the entire world, the Lotus Temple is a Bahai’i House of worship, but it is open to believers of any and every religion. And given how beautifully this construction was designed and executed, it is only fair for us to mention the name of the architect here. FariborzSahba is the one we have to thank for such stunning architecture. www.accessarchitects.in

5. St. Philomena’s Church A Roman Catholic church built all the way back in 1840, St. Philomena’s is a soaring structure that is a sight for sore eyes. It has twin towers that stand 175 feet tall and was designed in the Gothic architectural style. What makes this church so frequently visited by tourists is the fact that the bones and clothes of St. Philomena herself are still preserved there. www.accessarchitects.in
