Art in the temple

#bucketlistreboot 1200 square metres of sandstone cravings cover most of the inner wall of all four sides of the gallery and extend from 2 metres from top to bottom. Hindu art, Apsara dancers, the story of the kings, animals, etc. The face of the apsara appearance looks different from one another, the story of the kings having war with the enemies, the more umbrellas on the elephant represent the more powerful they are. All of these cravings are done without the help of modern tools, how they do it, how they transport the stone from far to build up this temple. The remains of the wood pieces as door head frame, cross beam still can be found in the temple. Spending a couple of hours admiring their job looks interesting.
