In an ancient temple, we can see extraordinary details. We are able to see carvings of muscles, bones, tendons and even small intestine and large intestine. How did ancient builders carve these details? Did they study anatomy? In this video, we discuss just a handful of carvings of the Tirupperunturai temple.

Hey guys, today we are going into the ancient temple of Tirupperunturai, and I am going to show you some impossible carvings found here.
But wait, we have already walked past a miracle. Two miracles. Look at these carvings. Look at their height. Yes, they are made of stone, and in this picture, you can see my height and you can compare that with the height of these statues. Each statue is about a whopping 15 feet tall.
In today’s world of new age marketing where the substance is 10% and marketing is 90%, we do not value the ancient system of modesty. The ancient builders deliberately placed these extraordinary carvings in unnoticeable locations, and wanted you to miss them. If you enter this temple, there is a 99% chance that you are not going to enter like this, and then turn around and look at these giant carvings. You are probably going to walk straight into the temple without looking back. And by the time you are finished exploring this huge temple and are going home, you would be too tired to observe these 2 statues. So, the ancient builders intentionally put them here not to be seen, but why?
But it is not just the Giant size that stuns us, if we examine the micro details, it is even more stunning. At the top of the left Giant, there are 4 different bands. The first one shows the Sun and the Crescent moon alternating, symbolizing day, and night. The next band shows a series of strange cylinders and each cylinder looks shiny at the top, but has some patterns below. Each one is a Sahasralinga, a type of Linga indicating the presence of Lord Shiva. Below that we can see another band studded with chakras and conchs. The Chakra and Conch signify Lord Vishnu, the protector of everything, and below that you can see a band with a bunch of circles. If you count the number of circles, there are 9 circles, the navagrahas or the 9 heavenly factors that affect planet earth. So, this deity is basically wearing the entire universe as a bunch of garlands, as he appears to be towering over the universe.
His hair and his fierce looking face have a lot of fantastic details but I am gonna skip that and go to the weapons. On the top 2 hands, he is holding some weird things. Can you tell me what they are? This is a quiver, a bag which holds a bunch of arrows, and you can see that he is pulling out one arrow using just 2 fingers. On the other hand, this is a bow, it looks tiny in his hand, simply because he is a giant. But there is a detail here that is just unbelievable. Look at the string of the bow, how it goes like this with enough space, but here it is tightly clasping his thumb. The string is stretched because he has inserted his thumb, and now there is tension, this is technically called elastic tension, so it has to align tightly with his thumb. And then again, you can see that there is enough space between the bow and the string here, after the thumb. A fantastic detail that cannot even be seen with the naked eye, I had to zoom in with my DSLR, that’s how I found it. On this hand, you can see an animal, it is actually a deer, and on the other side, you can see a tiny, axe like weapon. There are long stories attached to these two things called Maan and Mazhu. In the hand below, you can see a trident, and you can easily mistake it for the Shiva’s trident or the Trishul, but again another strange detail. In the center, it is not just a prong, it somewhat looks like a piece of the vertebral column, right? This is another weapon called Vajra, which can produce the power of a lightning. So, it is a combo weapon, where you can electrocute the enemy while impaling him with a trident. On this side, there is another strange weapon that looks like a ring.
