Virupaksha Temple located in Hampi, Karnataka (UNESCO Site) built around 700 AC had a dark chamber built using 'PINHOLE' Technology. Pinhole Technology was used 200 years before Arab Scholar Ibn Al-Haytham (945-1040) thought to hv mentioned Pinhole
Pinhole technology is used in modern cameras. It creates exact inverse image of the object on the other side of Pinhole. thoughtco.com/history-of-photography-and-the-camera-1992331
The First photographic image with a camera OBSCURA was obtained by a French scientist Joseph Nicephore Niepce in the winter of 1827. thoughtco.com/history-of-photography-and-the-camera-1992331 And it looked like this 👇
However, Virupaksha Temple used this technology 2.5 centuries even before it first mentioned by Arabian scholar. The Dark room with hole exact reverse image of main building.
