Ratneshwar Mahadev temple uniquely leans significantly towards the back side (north-west), and its garbhagriha (inner sanctuary) is generally below the water much of the year, except for a few months during the summer. According to a popular legend, it was built by an unnamed servant of Raja Man Singh for his mother Ratna Bai about 500 years ago. After having built the temple, he proudly boasted that he paid his debt to his mother (Matru-run). However, since the debt to one's mother can never be repaid, the temple started leaning because of a curse by the mother. (Varanasi, India) --from Wikipedia
