Poetry in Stone - 3

This is third in the series of Poetry in Stone. So far it has been about the craftsmanship in ancient temples. But the modern India also has temples that are not so old that are marvelous.

One such temple is Radhoasoami Memorial at
Dayalbagh which is at a distance of 15 kms from Agra. Made of white marble has several wonders in stone.

Rose flower carved in white marble.

Hibiscus flowers carved in white marble.

This monument apart from flowers has several other artistic designs all around.
