ReplyDeleteVery nice photographs.
ReplyDeleteIt was a surprise to find colourful murals in Lepakshi. Not having visited the place, I did not even know that such an art form was in a Hindu temple. Wonder whether the mural is a later addition.
The pillars are very beautiful.
The Nandi looks so majestic. The art form is so good. What surprised me was the coloured ones ...Need to visit this place .........
