My Devi comes to me: The 4-word answer by world's greatest mathematician, Ramanujan that filmmaker Shekhar Kapur connects to Kailasa Temple, a UNESCO site's mystery

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur recently reflected on the astonishing precision of Kailasa Temple at Ellora, carved downward from a single piece of basalt using hammers and chisels. He questioned how ancient craftsmen avoided even minor errors and connected the temples geometry with ancient Indian mathematics, music and philosophy. Kapur also recalled mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, who reportedly answered questions about his remarkable solutions by saying, My Devi comes to me, linking knowledge with a deeper idea of wisdom.
