Venu Gopala at Somanathpur.
It was hard to get this picture. Light in the temple was very feeble and shooting it with flash-on was not giving what I wanted. I turned-off flash, boosted exposure compensation, (I guess I kept ISO low too). It was hard to hold my hands steady, without my monopod, However I managed to use the Iron door to keep my hands still. Finally after some post processing I managed to get this.
Its a little noisy but, I am actually happy :-)

You can see many beautiful but, defaced/damaged sculptures of this kind all over India. A period of fundamentalist Muslim rule in India is said to be largely responsible for this mindless destruction. The period was followed by an oppressive colonial rule.
India, the great buffer that has withstood many shocks, has again emerged as a successful pluralistic society, a a thriving secular democracy. Wounds have healed, scars remain and hopefully will vanish. However today the mood of a resurgent India is to bridge the gaps and forge the way to a better future for all.

The bull from Banavasi
This is only one among the grand, rock-sculpted bulls from the temples of Karnataka. Bull is lord Shiva’s vehicle. You will find a bull facing a Shiva Linga in most Shiva temples.
Roughly speaking, you can put me in the league of Pashupati & Pan. Otherwise I am a button-pusher (who is often wood-sick).
This is the abode of my random: thoughts, notes, pics, ...
