State of Tamil Nadu. India you can find 12th-century Hindu temple, Airavatesvara Temple. This Lord Shiva temple is said to be built by Rajaraja Chola II in the 12th century CE. Shiva is here known as Airavatesvara because he was worshiped at this temple by Airavata, the white
elephant of the king of the gods, Indra; so did also the King of Death, Yama.
Airavatesvara Temple is constructed as if the whole temple is a chariot encased in a lotus floating on a lake. The vimana is 85 feet high. The temple is a treasure trove of art and architecture.

Entrance of the temple has musical steps made of stones, which produces seven different sounds on tapping.
Each step emits a different tone of the musical scale. One can hear all the seven Swaras at different points.

But, to protect them from damage, these musical steps have been covered with metal grills.
