We have seen numerous historical monuments, and these monuments have certain shapes and figures which amaze us.
Are they very complex structured?
No, they're just made by assembling shapes that we learn within the branch of mathematics called “Geometry”.
Referring to the above image, we all know it is the Thanjavur temple (Brihadeeswarar Temple). The top (temple dome) structure indicated in the temple is round shape, and all the pillars around the temple are like straight lines. Let's see some more objects for straight lines and round we see in real life.
