Karnataka, India: Near the banks of Kaveri river, the antique temples hidden and burried under the sand are very beautiful. Todays images are of the sacred Nandi bull who accompanies Shiva, from the Talkad temples.

कर्णाटक, भारतः कावेरी के तट के पास तलकड़ के रेत में छिपे और दबे हुए मन्दिर बहुत सुन्दर हैं. आज वहीं से शिव के वाहन नन्दी बैल की तस्वीरें प्रस्तुत हैं.

Karnataka, India: Vicino alle rive del fiume Kaveri, gli antichi templi di Talkad nascosti e sepolti sotto la sabbia sono molto belli. Le immagini di oggi hanno il toro sacro Nandi che accompagna Shiva, dai templi di Talkad.

  2. As a Kannadiga, I come across them so often. I found it nice to see them here on your blog.

    BTW, you can take all the rain from here as I have had enough of the monsoon this year. ;)

  6. एक ही जगह पर होते हुए भी इन मूर्तियों में काफ़ी अंतर है। बीच के चित्र की मूर्तियों का रंग/आवरण उन्हें बाकी दो से अलग करता है जबकि तीसरे चित्र की मूर्ति तो डाइ-कास्ट लग रही है और वह रखी भी ईंटों पर है शायद।

  7. Thankyou all for your comments.

    @Smart India - आप ने बिल्कुल सही कहा, यही मेरा ध्येय था कि एक ही जगह से विभिन्न शैलियों के नन्दी को दिखाऊँ. तीसरी तस्वीर में एक बहुत पुरानी मूर्ति की प्रतिलिपि बनायी गयी है, पर गाईड न होने की वजह से कुछ अधिक जानकारी नहीं जोड़ पाया.
