Hello @VijayaNagesh ,

Thank you for sharing this incredible destination and amazing photos with us. Was this your first visit to this temple?

I’ve always loved such spots because of their heritage, art, architecture and stories.

It’s impressive to see those details in the sculpture and difficult to believe that the mankind did such an amazing piece of art!
