The mystery of Nalgonda Someshwar Mahadev Temple and the story of science

This temple is a proof of ancient Indian architecture and unique knowledge of science. It is believed that due to the conservation of powerful dynasties like Chola Empire in South India, the temples here did not fall prey to large -scale foreign invasions like North India. Therefore, the amazing artistry and scientific miracles here can still be seen in its original form.

What is the secret of this temple
The mystery of the temple looks simple, but the intensive science is hidden behind it. There is no column right in front of the Shivling in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, yet the pillar whose shadow falls on the Shivling is not between Shivling and Sun. Experts believe that the position and design of the pillars outside in the temple premises is so accurate that with the speed of the Sun, mutual shadows of these pillars together form a shadow that falls directly on the Shivling.

Science is also surprised but faith is firm
According to physicist Manohar Sheshagiri, the construction of this temple was used in the form of east-west direction, calculation of sun rays and intensive knowledge of reflection of light. The ancient artisans kept the columns in such a way that wherever the Sun is, the shadow made with its light should always touch the Shivling.

Although there have been cracks on the walls of the temple in 800 years, the protection works done by the Telangana government have given a new life to this historic heritage. Even today, tourists and devotees from far and wide come here to see this secret. This temple is located just 2 kilometers from the Pangal bus stand of Nalgonda, which is easily accessible. This temple is a symbol of not only faith, but a civilization, where a wonderful combination of science and spirituality is seen, which remains a challenge for science even today.
