It is one of the most sacred sites in India because it is believed to have been the home of Lord Shiva."

"The Acropolis, and the Parthenon in particular, are the most iconic monuments of the ancient Greek civilization. It continues to stand as a symbol in many ways: it is the symbol of democracy and the Greek civilisation. It also symbolises the beginning of Western civilisation and stands as the icon of European culture. The main reason why the Acropolis is important to Greek architecture is that it was used to worship the goddess Athena. It houses a number of famous Greek buildings."
