India has temples, lakes and villages that still puzzle visitors. This English guide covers the hanging pillar at Lepakshi, floating stones near Rameswaram, Krishna's Butter Ball at Mahabalipuram, the Jatinga bird deaths in Assam, Bhangarh Fort, the abandoned village of Kuldhara, the twin births of Kodinhi, Roopkund's skeleton lake and the sinking church at Shettihalli. Folklore is labelled as folklore; where researchers have a working theory, we say so.
