The largest and grandest of all the temples in #Pattadakal is the Virupaksha Temple. It was originally called Lokeshwara Temple, after the name of its patron, Queen Lokmahadevi. The temple was built by the Queen to commemorate the victory of her husband, Chalukya Vikramaditya II, for his win against the Pallavas. This temple is one of the outstanding specimens of Chalukyan architecture. In terms of scale, building design, constructional techniques as well as range and quality of sculptural images, Virupaksha Temple is awe-inspiring.

The Lodhi Gardens are a 90 acre city park in #NewDelhi, India. Named after the fifth and final dynasty of the #Delhi sultanate, the Lodhi's, the gardens were founded in the 20th century. The #LodhiGardens became the park they are now in the 1930s, when the wife of a British expat, Lady Willingdon, cleared two villages in order to landscape a park in the area containing Lodhi era (late 15th/early 16th century) tombs. The gardens were originally named after her, but after Indian Independence in 1947, they were renamed the Lodhi #Gardens.
