life

different avatars of V ishnu and Ganesha a.re beautiful beyond words!

As the sun rose, differem panels lit up, displaying the weather- beaten stone sculptures as ir bas been do ing for cenru r ies. Here and tl1ere a shafc of light penetrated the shadows and brought life to a panel. I enjoyed solitude in the company of those sile n t scul ptures and figllCes; this is hiscory yo u can touch and feel.

B y 8 30am the sunlight was too ha.rsh for photography, and it was time to pac k up and head for a cuppa at a nea.rby cafe.

I left wid, a feeling o f not having captured the full b eauty of Hale.bid which was imprinted inmy mind.

\Xle then drove towards Belur, which carries the same signature of sculpting, to get more photographs.
