Manastambha

Okay, so imagine you play a really cool game that uses magical powers. These magical powers come from something called mana. Now, to remember the importance of mana, people a long time ago built tall structures called manastambhas.

A manastambha is like a big pole built out of stones or bricks that can be as tall as a six-story building! It's usually found in a temple or near a sacred place. People believe that these manastambhas act like a magnet for mana, and they help keep the magical powers strong in that area.

Sometimes, people even decorate these manastambhas with beautiful carvings, colorful paintings, or symbols of different gods and goddesses. So whenever you see a manastambha, remember that it's a very special place where magic and legends come together.
