Beautiful Temple: Dhyanalinga Yogic Temple

Beautiful Temple:

Dhyanalinga Yogic Temple

The Dhyanalinga is a Yogic temple located 30 km (19 mi) from Coimbatore, India. The building was established by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, a yogi. The temple is consecrated using prana prathista and is dedicated for meditation. Silence is maintained inside the temple.

The architectural style is different from a conventional Hindu temple. A large ellipsoidal dome covers the sanctum sanctorum instead of a conventional Gopuram. The dome was constructed using only bricks and stabilized mud mortar without any cement, steel or concrete.

The dome is 76 ft (23.2 m) in diameter and 33 ft (10.1 m) in height. The lingam is 13 ft (4 m) in height made of high density black granite.

Amazing White Tample, Wat Rong Khun at Chiang Rai, Thailand

Wat Rong Khun (Thai: วัดร่องขุ่น) is a contemporary unconventional buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat.

Wat Rong Khun is different from any other temple in Thailand, as its ubosot (Pali: uposatha; consecrated assembly hall) is designed in white color with some use of white glass. The white color stands for Lord Buddha’s purity; the white glass stands for Lord Buddha’s wisdom that "shines brightly all over the Earth and the Universe."

A temple situated in northernmost province of Thailand namely Chiangrai. The temple is not far from city town of Chiangrai. Worth to pay a visit there.
