India has a stepwell with 1,500 sculptures that almost nobody visits. A 25-ton granite Nandi carved from a single stone. Temples where wooden joints—no nails—have held for centuries through monsoons. Rooms with acoustics so perfect a whisper carries across them. Bronze work so detailed you can see fingernails.

These aren't legends. They're sitting there, mostly ignored, while everyone flies to the same five cities. The internet recycles the same tourist checklists. Meanwhile, entire villages have histories nobody's bothered to write down, and architectural mysteries that would fascinate anyone who actually looked.

I started mapping these places because I kept stumbling into them and thinking, "Why doesn't anyone know about this?" Turns out, a lot of people do know—locals, historians, random enthusiasts—they're just scattered. So this is an attempt to gather it all in one place before the parking lots arrive.

Anvaya Maps is a collection of India's overlooked corners. The strange ones, the beautiful ones, the ones with stories worth hearing. Not the "hidden gems!!!!" kind of travel marketing—just places that exist, deserve attention, and are genuinely interesting.
