That first sculpture is wonderful depicting her in everyday beautifying with earrings. And I love the color of the last one...a rosy color.
Wonderful images of the temple. Great series of photos. Have a happy week!
FAbulous shots.
I can't imagine the work that goes into such incredible carvings.
Poetry indeed! Do you know how long it took people to make these beautiful and amazing works of art .. And how many people worked on them? And who created the idea for the s ulptors to carve? Is there history somewhere about these details?

Oh, this one I love, - especially the first. It reminds me of celebrating New Year's Eve and the hope and beauty that go with that occasion.
The art in your country is highly developed.
I wish you a great new year and happiness.
