I was reading yesterday on Skyscrapercity.com about an amazing project: the tallest Hindu Temple which is being built in Mayapur, West Bengal and I dared to borrow a few of their photos. (I hope they don't mind) Cool. It seems it won't be only a wonderful architectural masterpiece, but also one of the one of the largest religious buildings ever.
