A tale of timeworn temples

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

India | Saturday, July 6, 2013 | 5 photos


Art has been a part of my life since childhood which resulted in choosing architecture as my profession. I have inherited the love for travel and adventure from my dad.

Photography has always been a passion for me since childhood. But I never got a chance to put my hands on it, which I got only after getting married; my husband also is very passionate about photography and has a good hand on it, who has been my inspiration and guide.

I have a zeal to learn and eagerness to visit new places, it will be a dream come true to visit Greenland and learn photography through such a talented guru Mr. Jason Edwards. A big step towards building up my career as a photographer.

I would like to present photographs of the most beautiful temples in India.

BELUR & HALEBIDU (These places are 20kms from each other) It has beautiful sculptures carved in stone with no space inside or outside left blank- even the ceiling’s has splendid carving in it.

They have sculptures of Indian gods’, dancers (Apsaras), mythological characters and animals, etc. reflecting story’s on its own.

About meera

The channakeshava temple is more known for the “SHILABALIKE” (Images of woman carved in stone) all around the temple each one engaged in different activities, These sculptures even have interesting names such “SHUKA BHASHINI”, “DARPAN SUNDAR”.

It is said that the people hid the temple from invaders by covering it up completely under sand due to which it is still intact.
