I haven't travelled much in Tamil Nadu and what little I have done has been with my parents and for pilgrimage purposes. <br /><br />I feel very strongly about our artistic heritage and your point about ignoring the sculptural heritage of the South is very well said.

The point is that it requires greater attention and artistry with smaller panels - as is the case with the Chola temples. Also, the Hoysala temples are around the 12 century AD whereas the Chola temples are of the 8-10 Century and, thus, definitely take their place as precursors. There is no denying the artistry of the Hoysala temples, however.C Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447144019185253116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-60908176018303365302013-02-28T00:20:59.523+05:302013-02-28T00:20:59.523+05:30Some lovely pictures there.

They also have similar miniature images carved in the stones and I will say the artist has not spared any effort, unless they have been ruined by man/nature :)Ramakant Pradhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982765739245702488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-29018501139667035862013-02-27T10:45:58.199+05:302013-02-27T10:45:58.199+05:30:):)Found In Folsomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381456888085332705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-279529342859874872013-02-27T08:22:51.641+05:302013-02-27T08:22:51.641+05:30Thanks!
