A Dream in Marble

when i reached there i thought why we came at this place is it really worth to come here.this thought comes in my mind when i saw delwara from outside i thought it is just a simple temple as we saw in India a lot.

but as i reached there i thought i was totally wrong , i have no words to describe that temple .
outside the temple a board where history is written of Delwara and there i saw a british person sometimes ago said that this temple is second position after Taj Mahal.

now comes to history of that temple
