ॐ गं गणपतये नम:।
अक्षरं परमं ब्रह्म ज्योतीरूपं सनातनम्।
निराकारं स्वेच्छामयमनन्तजम्॥
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि
[श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता 2.47]
हिन्दु धर्म सनातन, शाश्वत है। इसमें वास्तु शास्त्र बेजोड़ है। भारत और विदेशों में बने मन्दिर वास्तु और स्थापत्य कला के बेजोड़ नमूने हैं। 
विदेशी आक्रांताओं ने मन्दिरों को नष्ट-भृष्ट किया और उन पर मकान और मस्जिदें बना डालीं। आज भी भारत, पाकिस्तान, बांग्लादेश आदि में ऐसी 4500 से अधिक इमारतें हैं जिनमें बेजोड़ कलाकारी मौज़ूद है। 
Here one may find amazing buildings, structures, temples built in medieval and ancient India. These structures are unmatched-unparalled and its really difficult to carve out such buildings with the most advanced computerised technology.

The use of Vastu Shastr make them unbelievable.
