Chausath Yogini temple of Madhya Pradesh

The pictures here are of *Chausath Yogini Temple in Morena (Madhya Pradesh). In early 1900s, Edwin Lutyens visited this temple, and he used the design of this temple for the Parliament of India*.  Unfortunately, neither he, nor any of our subsequent historians/intellectuals even cared to mentioned "Chausath Yogini Temple".

It was spread for decades with impunity that the Indian Parliament is a masterpiece of Lutyens. *They knew that if they glorified the "Temple" and our advancement in architecture & construction, Indians may develop a sense of self pride, something that Nehru and his bunch of historians resisted at any cost. Hence, no mention of this temple was ever officially made*.

Look at the structure.

Look at the pillars.

Look at the inner and outer facade. 

Our parliament is a mere copy of this temple.

*This temple was built around 1050 AD...* almost 900 years before our Parliament !!

*So next time, don't praise Lutyens. Praise our ancestors who had designed and constructed these wonders centuries ago*
