This is twenty-ninth in the series on the rich cultural heritage of ancient temples in India. The ancient temples are richly carved and each of the carvings surpass each other in their mastery.
Inside the Kailasa Temple of Ellora surrounding the maim shrine there is a pillar courtyard. This courtyard has several panels depicting various legends of Shiva and Vishnu.
In this courtyard there is a gallery of twelve panels depicting Shiva legends. On these panels there are Shiva and Parvati in various attitudes.
On the external wall of Mallikarjuna Temple, Basaralu there is a beautiful sculpture of Karthikeyan on peacock.

Stunningly beautiful! The Kartikeyan idol is sculptural beauty!
You bring life to the pics with your shots!
Have you ever thought about writing a book about all the legends of the Hindu gods, and illustrate them with the photos of the temples? I expect that tourists will be very happy to buy such a book!
Thanks for your post.

What an architectural grandeur!
Few years back i decided to visit this place and to feel closely every corner of this place but still not been able to manage a tour.
Very nice shots may be this post will work as catalyst and help me to plan a tour.
Poetry in Stone indeed!
