    Please make sure you see the durga statue

    the ganesha statue is also imposing, but the seating posture is quite
    unique - with both the feet pressed against each other.

  • Have uploaded three reliefs portraying scenes from the ramayana from
    the parambhan temple

    You can see vishnu in heaven seated on adhiseshan. On his left
    kneels a garuda, on his right five gods ask his help in defeating
    Ravana..

    another scene depicts jatayu trying to save sita and fighting
    against ravana - the flying vehicle of ravana, the ten heads and
    arms are all beautifully detailed.

    the third one depicts jatayu handing over a ring !!before dying

    all three are from the Prambanan temple , Java, Indonesia

    Incidentally another scene from the ramayana depicted in angkor was
    too good to be left out

    this is a beautiful depiction of ravana uprooting mount kailash -
    the detailing is so beautiful ( watch the unique portrayal of the
    ten heads of ravana and also the facil expression on the lions
    alongside ravana - they seem to running for their lives..
  • two more photots into the list

    parambanan - fish removing stones/ getting stones for rama's bridge

    angkor - bheesma lying on a bed of arrows..

Howdy, Stranger!
