What are the ways to protect the Kailashanth temple and what is the need to preserve and protect it. Also what were the materials used to build it?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. First of all, be sure you are spelling the name of the temple correctly. This was the last example of "rock carving" temples, is a part of history and once it is gone there will never be another like it! Hopefully you will enjoy the following sites:
