This is fourth in the series. Temples all over India represent the rich cultural heritage. The ancient temples are richly carved and they behold ones attention for their craftsmanship.
One such temple is Jagadish Temple of Udaipur (State: Rajasthan). This temple is located close to the City Palace. Built in 1651, the temple following Indo-Aryan architecture is richly carved externally. The carvings are examples of master craftsmanship.
Here in the frame above one can see musicians and dancers carved on the external wall of the temple. Even minute details like crease of the dress is taken care.
There are several bands of numerous tiny carvings at the base of the temple. There are bands of people, flowers and animals.

The carvings on the Jagdish Temple are so intricate. The detail and amount of work required is amazing -as is its antiquity. I always enjoy your India cultural posts, Rajesh.

Like poetry and song, I'm sure these carvings tell stories. Can you "read" them?
SHADOWY DINNER
A shadow, a shadow, a shadow you say?
A shadow is coming to dinner today?
Oh, what shall we feed it, and what will it eat?
Just toss down a few rays of light at its feet,
And watch its dark mouth gobble up every ray,
But be sure, my friend, you don’t get in its way;
Keep out of the light so it won’t gobble you.
(If I were the hostess, that’s just what I’d do.)
A shadow is easy to feed, so they say,
So welcome your shadow to dinner today.
