If you loved Paurushpur, here are five places in India where you can relive that old-world charm

1. Khajuraho Group of Monuments

Built by the Chandela dynasty somewhere between 885 AD and 1050 AD, the Khajuraho Monuments are a group of famous Hindu and Jain temples known for their ‘nagara-style’ architecture. As a symbol to mark acceptance and respect between the two religions, these temples were built. People from all over the world come to visit these historic temples. These monuments are also recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

2. Baolis of Rajasthan

Remember the stepwell scene from Paurashpur? Something similar to that is the Baolis of Rajasthan. They look like steep steps that hold a very deep architectural significance in India. Centuries back, wells were constructed in such a way that people had to take steps to reach those wells so as to preserve water in times of drought. It is believed that these stepwells could withstand earthquakes too.

3. Hampi

Hampi is a pilgrimage center for the Hindus situated in Karnataka. It is recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO and is of the most-visited religious sites of India. Historical chronicles suggest that Hampi was a well-developed city where trade would flourish, architecture and people from all over the country would come to visit the temples in Hampi

4. Konark Sun Temple

Konark Sun Temple or Konark Surya Mandir was reportedly built in the year 1250 for king Narasimhadeva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty. It is believed to be a classic illustration of the Kalinga architecture that is quite famous in Odisha. It is yet another famous pilgrimage site for the Hindus that is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

5. Ayodhya

Ayodhaya is a very old town of India (now a part of Uttar Pradesh) where a part of the epic Ramayana is believed to have taken place.
