Yoganarasimha Temple, Devarayan Durga

The rocky hills of Devrayan Durga near Bangalore is surrounded by forest. The hill is dotted with several temples and at the top is Yoganarasimha Temple.



This temple is believed to be 1000 years old. The temple has beautifully carved tower on the  tower.



The tower of the main shrine at the back of the temple is beautifully carved.

    Nice one this. Have a question - which software do you use for watermarking? I use gimp, but am looking for a better, free alternative.
