Today we are traveling from Thanjavur to Mahabalipuram on the Bay of Bengal. Our first stop was the temple at Darasuram.
 |
| The main tower over Shiva's sanctum. |
 |
| Shiva emerging from the "third eye" in a lingum. A really interesting synthesis of several motifs. |
 |
| The temple as chariot -- complete with wheels. |
 |
| Two Nandi Bulls. A smaller one inside the entrance to Shiva's sanctum and a larger one in the temple's outside courtyard. |
