Poetry in Stone - 33

Tags: carved century
This is thirty-third  in the series on the rich cultural heritage of temples in India. The ancient monuments of India are richly Carved and they behold ones attention for their craftsmanship. 



Beautiful craftsmanship on 10th Century Varahi Temple at Chaurasi. One of the windows of the 14th century Rudbai Step-well at Adalaj which has been carved intricately on all corners with different motifs and animals.



The sanctum doorway of Harishchandra ni Chori at Shamalaji is adorned with bands comprising a creeper, lotus leaves and the vine. The two female figures at the base represent Ganga and Yamuna.
