leaning temples in India  

The Leaning Temple of Ratneshwar, located in Varanasi, India, is a remarkable architectural marvel with an intriguing tilt. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this 500-year-old temple leans approximately nine degrees, even more than the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. Its mysterious inclination is attributed to a mix of architectural flaws and natural subsidence.

 

The Leaning Temple of Huma, in Odisha, India, also dedicated to Lord Shiva, exhibits a similar tilt. Built in the 17th century, it leans due to the uneven settlement of its foundation. Both temples attract numerous pilgrims and tourists, fascinated by their unique structural quirks and rich cultural heritage.
