1 Hanging pillar- Lepakshi , Andhra pradesh-
Lepakshi is a village situated in Anantapur district of Andhra pradesh, India.

Now let me educate you about the magically hanging pillar in the Lepakshi temple, among the 70 pillars of the temple, one hangs without any support! Visitors pass objects under the pillar to check if the claim is true. This is one of “The unusual but incredible heritage of India”.
2 The motorcycle God - Bullet baba, shrine, Bandai Rajasthan -
If there is any place in the world where you will come across a shrine where flowers and liquor bottles are offered to a motorcycle, it has to be INDIA! At bandai, jodhpur, Om Singh Rathore died when he crashed his bullet into a tree while riding drunk. The police claimed the bike and took it to the station. The next day, the bike was found on the spot of accident. They bought it back to the station emptied the tank and chained it. Yet the bike miraculously found it way back to the accident spot the next day. The motorcycle was permanently shifted to the accident location and the om baba (or the bullet baba as it is popularly called) shrine was erected. The spirit of om baba is believed to protect the travellers. This is second of ‘The unusual but incredible heritage of India’
