Interesting to know the difference temples belonging to different groups. Very beautiful temples.
It's hard to imagine the intricacy of the carvings. I wonder how long construction took on each one?
What magnificent structures!
That's the most interesting kind of exotic architecture for me, they're like castle made of sand.
The sheer scale of these temples is remarkable. I'm surprised to learn that the Jains have temples.
Amazing architecture!
