India's Sacred Sites

India's religious landscape spans millennia, represented here by diverse architectural styles and traditions. The list includes the 13th-century Konark Sun Temple, designed as a colossal stone chariot, and the 8th-century Shore Temple in Mahabalipuram. Islamic heritage is highlighted by the 16th-century Jama Masjid in Fatehpur Sikri and the Sufi shrine of Ajmer Sharif. Buddhist traditions are preserved in Ladakh’s Thikse and Stakna monasteries, while colonial history is reflected in Mumbai’s 300-year-old St Thomas Cathedral, showcasing intricate soapstone carvings and Dravidian masonry.
