World's richest temple during Equinox | Architectural marvel of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple

Considered to be world's richest temples, among the many dazzling architectural features of Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple is the ornate gopuram or the tower at the temple's main entrance is something of unique construction. It has seven floors with a pair of window like openings at the center of each floor on its opposite sides. On the exact two days of the Equinox ( close to March 21st & September 23rd) one gets to see the Setting Sun aligned and passing exactly through each of the windows in roughly 5-minute intervals. Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple of Thiruvananthapuram in South India is a fine example of exquisite architecture that blends Dravidian and traditional Kerala styles.
