Buddha Gaya is the most holy place on earth for the followers of buddhist faith all over the world. Situated by the bank of river Neranjana the place was then known as Uruwela. King Ashoka was the first to build a temple here. For Buddhists, Bodh Gaya is the most important of the main four pilgrimage sites related to the life of Gautama Buddha.
Bodh Gaya is the place where Gautama Buddha abtained enlightenment. It is 260 kms from Saranath, where Buddha delivered his first sermon.
Bodh Gaya is an UNESCO world heritage site.

Éamonn O'Doherty (1939 – 4 August 2011), born in Derry, Northern Ireland, was an Irish sculptor, painter, printmaker, photographer and lecturer. He was best known for his sculptures in public places. He died, aged 72, in Dublin.
Best known for his public sculpture, Eamonn O’Doherty originally studied architecture at UCD and spent some time at Harvard Univeristy. He taught architecture in academic institutions including the DIT, Dun Laoghaire School of Art, University of Jordan, University of Nebraska and the Ecole Speciale d’Architecture in Paris. In 2002 O’Doherty retired from teaching to focus on his sculpture.
The scupture is attributed to Claus de Werve (ca. 1380 - 1439) who was probably born at the Dutch city of Haarlem around 1380. He was active at the Burgundian Court under Philip the Bold from 1395 to 1439.
In 1396 he became the assistant to his uncle Claus Sluter and helped him to carve the mourners on the tomb of Philip the Bold. When Sluter died in 1406, he took over the position of Chief Scullptur at the Court..

Roof top scupture at The Casa Batlló in Barcelona
Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə bəʎˈʎo, bədˈʎo]), is a building restored by Antoni Gaudí and Josep Maria Jujol, built in the year 1877 and remodelled in the years 1904–1906; located at 43, Passeig de Gràcia (passeig is Catalan for promenade or avenue), part of the Illa de la Discòrdia in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia.
The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), and indeed it does have a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.
The building looks very remarkable — like everything Gaudí designed, only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, is rather astonishing with tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work.
It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines completely. Much of the façade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadís) that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the sword of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.

Sri Jaganatha Perumal temple is situated at Thirumazhisai (திருமழிசை) near Chennai in the district of Thiruvallur. This temple is glorified by Thirumazhisai Azhwar, one of the twelve Alvars of Vaishnavism. He wrote 216 Pasurams on this temple. Azhwars are considered to be twelve supreme devotees of Lord Vishnu, who were instrumental in popularising Vaishnavism. The religious works of these saints in Tamil, songs of love and devotion, are compiled as Nalayira Divya Prabandham containing 4000 verses and the 108 temples revered in their songs are classified as Divya desams.
There are a few interesting stories about Thirumazhisai Azhwar . Thirumazhisai Azhwar wanted to learn about all other religions. So, he studied Buddhism, Jainism and other literature. He became a staunch devotee of Siva assuming the name of Siva Vakya. Under the influence of Peyalwar then he became staunch devotee of Vaishnavisim. He says: சாக்கியம் கற்றோம், சமணம் கற்றோம், சங்கரனார் ஆக்கிய ஆகமநூல்
ஆராய்ந்தோம்; பாக்கியத்தால் வெங்கட்கரியனை சேர்ந்தோம்.
Another story is when Pallava king banished him when that he refused to oblige him, he requested the Lord Vishnu to leave the place along with him. He says :
கணிகண்ணன் போகின்றான் காமரு பூங் கச்சி
மணிவண்ணா! நீ கிடக்க வேண்டா
செந்நாப் புலவனும் போகின்றேன் நீயும் உன்றன்
பை நாகப்பாயை சுருட்டிக் கொள். wiki.
The Dravidian style of art and architecture reached its perfection under the Cholas. They built enormous temples and the chief feature of the Chola art and architecture is the vimana.
The early temples were found at Narthamalai and Kodumbalur in Pudukottai district and at Srinivasanallur in Tiruchirappalli district. During the period 1009 of Rajaraja Chola, the Temple building was prolific. Over a hundred important temples of Chola are still in a good state and many are still active shrines.

Arthur was the main sidekick of The Tick.
ORIGIN
Arthur was an accountant before he met The Tick and they became a crime-fighting duo. The 2001 live action Tick series reveals more of Arthur's early life and that he had a sister and a mother whose name was Bea. It is also known that Arthur is of Jewish descent. His battle cry is "Not in the face! Not in the face!" He conceived it in season 1 episode 12, titled "The Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account," while sitting in his apartment with The Tick; The Tick suggests they come up with "the cries [they] always emit just before leaping into battle!"
