Temple carvings, Kailasanth Temple

As with many of India's ancient Hindu temples, the Kailasanth Temple is a feast for the detail lover's eye. Dedicated to the god Shiva, one can see this revered god in a lyrical, dancing pose, with equally jovial scenes around him. Above is a small carving of Ganesh, the elephant god who recently celebrated his birthday.
