Mamallapuram

Series of temples, carved into the rocks of a seashore...each one made out of a single rock. The elephants below are 12-15 feet tall. Gigantic and elegant elephants.

Krishna's Butterball is gravity defying. Goats lounge in the shade below.
This rock reminded me of an elephant. The kings would ride on the backs of elephants sometimes...the king that commissioned this place had a bed outside of this temple, carved in the stone. He would come hang out and watch the men work on his masterpiece.
