Probe Posted March 26, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I was wondering if Indians have any architectural wonders like the Egyptian and Mesoamerican civilizations. The only Indian architecture that stands out is the Taj Mahal. And even that was built by a Mughal Emperor. Did the ancient Indians build anything that can be compared to the architectural wonders of Egyptians, Mesoamerican, Chinese and Romans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they did stand the test of time, but the INVADING Moguls destroyed every last bit of it. Whatever left standing, was evidently destroyed or looted by the great British Empire. INDIANS were well know for the Mathematical brains and implementations , Astrology etc....... Having such attributes, how is it not possible that they have not done something Majestic ?...... The desert state of Rajasthan in India is home some of the most beautiful and evocative architectural wonders in India. The magnificent palaces, beautiful and richly sculptured temples, and imposing monuments in Rajasthan reverberate with history of heroism and sacrifice and bear testimony to the sculpting and architectural excellence of the ancient Rajputs. Concentrated mainly in cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Chittorgarh, these Rajasthan monuments enhance the charm of the state.
