The INCREDIBLE Granite-Cut Vettuvan Koil, India: Kailasa Temple Prototype? | Ancient Architects

Many of you will have heard of the incredible and somewhat unbelievable human accomplishment known as Kailasa Temple, the largest and most magnificent rock-cut Hindu temple at the Ellora Caves, Maharashtra, India. I made a video about this site 3 years ago and I’ve only just realised it’s had 1.4 million views in that time, making it one of the most-watched videos on this channel: I’ll be looking to do an updated and more in-depth video on this site in the coming weeks. But before we go back to that, I want to put another one on your radar, known as Vettuvan Koil. It is located in Kalugumalai, a Panchayat town in the Thoothukudi District of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
