Temple Carvings from South India


Temple Carvings Posted by Hello

I went for a tour of South India some time ago and here is a sample of the beautiful carvings that exist on the temples.

Some day I intend to put the entire collection on the web.

Cheers,

Mandal - II

The agitation continues.. As Delhi burns our Nero continues to fiddle. Personally I have been a great admirer of the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. So its some time difficult to imagine this quite and well meaning Gentleman being made to handle the mess that has been created by his peers. But I think he is a survivor and will come out of this challange much stronger. The time has come for Congress (I) to implemented Kamaraj Plan II. These old not so functional leaders who have provided great service to the nation need to be asked to retire and go home (and do some party work). Only time will tell how things will turnout but I hope the students don't give up. They are our only beacon hope. Have been monitering the blog these people have put up and whats interesting is the diverse reactions that have been coming from folks. Also surprising is the stony silence that is being maintained by both Youth for Equality and the Government. Is something cooking. Maybe the next few days wil...

The Nuclear Debate

The CPI is meeting today to finalise the next course of action IF the government continues with Operationalisation of the 123 Agreement. Frankly the people of India should care a damn about the same. I think MMS needs to hold fast and keep the momentum. The possiblity of the Coomis calling the bluff is pretty remote.

Their own position in Kerala is also not worth writing home about. The Coomis will be making common cause with the NDA. That will expose their true nature, so the possibility of they doing so is remote. If the NDA and the Commis can't make common cause the congress can continue in Power till the next General Election even though it will be a minority Government. The NDA with a fractured leadership is not and does not want a mid term election. Consequently all one can say is that "LET THE HEADLESS CHICKENS RUN AROU...

China - The Tibet Dilemma

Image
  Tibet is back in news and this time not for Beijing-Lhasa Train project, but for the pro-autonomy and Anti-Chinese demonstrations. The current wave of violence happens at a time when China can least afford it and is a renewed wave that takes place after a gap of nearly 20 years. In 2008 Beijing will host the Olympics and the current demonstrations don't augur well with its plan to emerge on the world space as a super power in a otherwise uni-polar world dominated by the US. The Chinese build up for the Olympics has meant that most of the development and investments have been focused on Beijing and a couple of large cities. This development has been at the cost of Rural China. The situation has reached a point where the Communist Party leaders from the provinces surrounding Beijing have started complaining about the water shortage . A case in point being the province of Hebei which has been suffering from a severe drought but has to make arrangements to supply a additional 3...
