Sam
This is one great Temple !! And a great photograph . Thank you for posting this :-)
I simply love the sculptures here !! Did you see the seven steps on the outer mandapa where each step when tapped gives out the musical note...the sapthaswaras ? Our Kings were God Loving / God fearing and great rulers... Looking forward to more from you on this temple..
