Many of the bigger grand ancient temples of north no longer exist. However some ancient beautiful temples still survive in remote places such as Kajuraho, orissa, rajasthan etc. Many new large temples have been built in the last 100 years. Most north indian temples however, are simple small structures meant for the needs of the local people. During the difficult period of islamic rule 12th to 17th centuries, the temples lost their zeal for elaborate and expensive rituals, and in most ordinary temples in north india ritual is very simple in stark contrast to south indian temples which have elaborate ritual. Also north indian temples often tend to be less orthodox and in many cases all and sundry are permitted to enter the innermost sanctum of the deity and worship the deity personally. In such cases, the deity will not be adorned with valuable jewellery. The innermost heart of the temple is the sanctum where the deity (usually of fixed stone) is present, followed by a large hall for lay worshippers to stand in and obtain "darshan" or divine audience. There may or may not be many more surrounding corridors, halls etc. However there will be space for devotees to go around the temple in clock wise fashion circumbulation as a mark of respect. In north indian temples, the tallest towers are built over the sanctum sanctorum.

Mayke thought it was time for some new photo's for her sporting lessons. We made a variation on the famous push-up photo, of course. It looks stunning in black and white.
This is the Carlos Pushup that he does over waves, tiny and large. Push up on yuour arms, one toe on the tail, one toe/leg up. And I do this, too. He looks kinda like a ballerina here. This was when the clouds were moving away and the western sky was gold and the east was blue-grey.

In a perfect world, you ‘d eke out a couple of sets of push-ups every day and be rewarded with a strong, healthy body. In truth, it does not work like that. Push-ups will do a fair bit for your upper body, especially your chest, shoulders and triceps muscles, along with your core, however...

Temple construction in India started nearly 2000 years ago. The oldest temples that were built of brick and wood no longer exist. Stone later became the preferred material. Temples marked the transition of Hinduism from the Vedic religion of ritual sacrifices to a religion of Bhakti or love and devotion to a personal deity. Temple construction and mode of worship is governed by ancient sanskrit scriptures called agamas, of which there are several, which deal with individual deities. There are substantial differences in architecture, customs, rituals and traditions in temples in different parts of India. South India is very different from the north. Hundreds, if not thousands, of ancient temples were destroyed during Islamic rule in India (especially in North India) between 1200 CE and 1700 CE. South India therefore has more large temples still standing.
During the ritual consecration of a temple, the presence of the universal all-encompassing Brahman, is invoked into the main stone deity of the temple, through ritual, thereby making the deity and the temple sacred and divine.

Some of my tweeps were talking about all these push ups they were doing as part of the Hundred Push Up Challenge and I decided to join up too! Maybe I'll have tank-top worthy arms by the summer!
