Mysteries of Asia: Lost Temples of India
The Mysteries of Asia three-part video series was originally produced for the Learning Channel. During this segment, historians and others examine temples built in India more than 1,000 years ago. They remain quite intriguing, though today’s tourists rarely visit them. Records reveal that trained elephants had to drag millions of stone blocks to help erect these structures.
The program notes that due to the temples’ size, the U.S. Senate, Versailles, the Houses of Parliament, and St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome could all fit within a single one of them.
Michael Bell narrates as footage and animated maps are used to help viewers learn more about what these ancient structures look like and why they were built. (Excerpt from hindilinks4u.net)

wow looks interesting ^^ definably more appealing than an aztec temple…. and they seem to be on a larger scale than anything in greece or rome. The orgies depicted on the walls is interesting though

I’m amazed they (the victorians) didn’t trash the temples… I guess it would have been to much work. I find the jain and buddhist traditions of india more insightful, although you can’t fault Hinduism for lack of color or strength of passing the test of time.
