More india tripping...

On our A-List for this part of Karnataka were the Hoysala temples at Belur and Halebid. These are pictures of the Chennakesava Temple at Belur. Probably going to do this in a few parts because the place is too amazing for just one post (well at least for me it is).

Aren't you glad you're not banned heehee

and yes these places are totally Hands On. Wait till you see some of my other temple pics where people are washing the carvings with milk and annointing them.

Not boring at all!! Every time you post pictures, I try to think of what to say in appreciation, but I get seriously overwhelmed and wordless. These are particularly amazing!
