While scrolling through my photo gallery, I found some pictures of similar structures captured at different places. These images featured a combination of elephant, lion, and snake-like figures, which I later learned are called Yali—a mythical creature symbolizing power, protection, and architectural beauty in South Indian temples. Similarly, other temples have unique motif structures. Have you ever wondered what these structures signify? Share your thoughts.

Sehr gute Bilder…
Ich denke, Menschen werden von ihrem Umfeld beeinflusst und spiegeln sie wider.
Wonderful photos @EshaHarish
I think they are called Vyal or Yali.
I’ve seen them everywhere in temples Tamilnadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.
Excellent post, dear @EshaHarish
