Beautiful sculptures at Halebid. I have a vague memory of visiting Belur Halebid when I was very little. Thanks for sharing. Btw I featured your blog on my post at Someday Somewhere
I liked the scuilptures depicting a lady doing her make up, a lady surrounded by musicians and the King with his subjects. Definitely they are very well executed.
