With the exceptions of few awe inspiring pictures, most are just photographs of a hole, albeit a big one, on the ground. Thus with some trepidations that I present this gallery: http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/richard/PICS/061006/ The photographic contribution is close to nil. Nevertheless, it records a cultural heritage that belongs to all of us. The first set of photographs is from a stone temple built around 12-13th century. The workmanship is so startling that the artisans carved through some of the statues, as shown in the very first picture. I *believe* (but could be wrong) that this temple is Shiva's temple. The second set is from a temple built around 10th century and their styles are somewhat different. I believe this temple is Vishnu's temple. The last picture is of Vishnu dreaming, from whose navel Brahma, the Creator comes forth. // richard (This email is for mailing lists. To reach me directly, please use richard at imagecraft.com)
