00:00Friends, there is a temple in India which was not built by any human being, at least, that is what it says there.
00:07Folk tales of, no cement, no motor, no joining material, yet standing for 1000 years, 115
00:15feet high, still defying gravity today, and
00:29I am talking about Kakanmat Temple, located in Morena district of Madhya Pradesh. Today we will see the entire temple.
00:37You will know its history, its secrets and those questions which historians have not been able to solve even today, watch the video till the end.
00:45Look, because everyone
01:15I have kept the big secret for last.
01:16The same Vanch whose kings built buildings like the Saj Baho Temple in Gwalior. And a king from this same Vanch
01:23Built Kakanmat to fulfill a wish of his queen.
01:47To build a Shiva temple which would be the most magnificent in the entire region and would become a symbol of his devotion.
01:54The king loved his queen and for a king the queen's wish is an order.
02:00The construction began, thousands of craftsmen were engaged, stone upon stone, carving upon carving and when this temple was completed.
02:08It was named Kakanmat after his queen Kakanmati, some people also say that Kakanmat
02:16the meaning is.
02:38There is no moat, no adhesive, then how do these stones hold together, this is called dry masonry, the stones
02:46Cut with such pressure, and fitted together with such skill, that they themselves
02:52hold on to, just like
03:08where the Shivalinga is enshrined, an antarala, a vestibule, a guṇḍa mandapa, a recessed hall, a mukha mandapa, entrance hall, the temple
03:18On the outer walls, thousands of statues have been carved, gods and goddesses, warriors, dancers, animals, these carvings are so many.
03:27It is detailed that experts compare it to Khajurao Temple, yes, the same Khajurao which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
03:35Kakanmat was no less powerful than that, but then something happened, in the thirteenth century, a new power emerged in Delhi.
03:43R
03:55Many parts of the temple were demolished, the subsidiary shrines, i.e. the smaller temples around them, were completely razed to the ground,
04:03Even today, broken stones and idols are scattered around the temple, each stone telling a tale of pain.
04:10Yes, his
04:22Declared a monument of national importance, but another interesting thing is found in the records of ASI, in 1393
04:29A Sanskrit inscription states that a man named Durga Prasad repaired the temple at that time.
04:36was, that is, of destruction
04:38Even after, someone tried to keep this temple alive, someone loved this temple, and
04:44This love continues even today, and now the part you all have been waiting for, the ghost story, the village
04:52Even today the elders say that this temple was built by someone
04:55It was not built by humans, Queen Kakanvati ordered the ghosts, and they built it in one night.
05:02But as soon as the sun started rising, the ghosts got scared and ran away leaving the work incomplete, that is why it is said
05:09Yes, this temple is still incomplete.
05:11And look, if you look carefully, many parts of the temple really look incomplete, some of the sculptures are incomplete.
05:19Yes, some sections appear to be incomplete, was this due to the earthquake, or the attackers, or
05:26Really night
05:26It was over before the ghosts could do their work, and that's another story, the villagers say, the day when
05:32The procession of the grooms will pass in front of this temple together, on that day this temple will burn down on its own.
05:40Now you might be thinking, this is just an
06:04Now the big question: is it really possible to stand for 1,000 years without cement? Yes, and
06:11This is not magic, this is interlocking stone technology. Indian architects of the 11th century knew that if
06:19Stones Perfect
06:26Pressure load distribution is the amount of weight that comes from above, and the stronger the stones below become.
06:32Yes, this same technique was used in the Roman Colosseum, this same technique is also used in Angkor Wat, but in Kaknamt
06:39There is precision, that someone
06:41It is no less than an ancient structure, and this is the reason why earthquakes may have broken it, but could not destroy it.
06:48Friends, Kakanmat Temple is not just a temple, it is the love of a king, the devotion of a queen, a civilization.
06:56The genius of,
06:57And thanks to the hard work of thousands of anonymous craftsmen, whose names we do not know, this temple still stands, broken, but
07:05He stands, as if saying, I was, I am, I will be, if you ever go to Gwalior, 65 kg
07:14meter and go away, Sihon
