These are also cards from a UNESCO site but I already deleted it from my missing list a few years ago. Both these cards were sent from Germany and they're from India. I got my 1st card from Hampi thanks to Claus and the 2nd card arrived a few days ago as an official.
Hampi in Karnataka is a historical and religious site noted for its ancient ruins and temples. The place used to be the capital of the Vijayanagara dynasty, that ruled the south India during 14th to 16th century AD.
Spread over an area more than 25 square kilometers (10 square miles), Hampi ruins is packed with giant temples, palaces, market streets, aquatic structures , fortifications and an abundance of other ancient monuments.

Vittala temple complex is dedicated to Vittala, a form of the Hindu god Vishnu is an architectural highlight of Hampi.
This temple campus contains many halls and shrines. The halls are noted for its extraordinary pillars with the animated carvings on it. A set of pillars, known as ‘musical pillars,’ resonates when tapped. A huge stone chariot complete with wheels carved out of stone stands in front of the main temple. - in: https://hampi.in
