… But you will be glad to know I am only going to post one from Halebid and Belur – two extremely fine Jain temples (that didn’t require climbing 700 steps) in Karnataka. To explain, I think this is one of the gods killing a demon and pulling out its entrails…. Maybe I should have posted a dancing girl instead (of which there were very many!)
Bring on the dancing girls, I say. Hello Miriam and Sue. FINALLY reading your wonderful blog, having returned from a very full-on Christmas. Sounds like you are having a brilliant time. Fab photos. I like the sound of all those meals you are going to cook when you get back. Happy new year, my dears! xx
Thank you so much Hilary. Dancing girls to follow soon … We are going to Bangalore today, to fly out tomorrow after evening festivities tonight … Goodness knows what we can expect, but it will be charming, whatever, given the rest of our experiences.
Happy New Year to you! We you soon in the New Year and much love
Miriam
I’d expect fireworks mostly!
And we have a 6am start! Ah well…happy new year to you and thanks for all the comments….
Lovely carvings despite the subject matter! For 27,000 carvings on another building worth travelling for, take a trip to Angkor Wat, Cambodia. In the meantime, I wish you both a very Happy New Year! xxE
And Happy New Year to you Erica – yesterday’s 27,000 sculpture building was followed by a second building but no idea how many were on there! Not sure we are ready for Cambodia! Xx
And happy new year from me too! See you soon I hope. Sxx
