marianne - Nov, 24 2006 02:11pm Akhila, I love these colourful temples. What is the pillar used for? Or what does it symbolise? picasso - Nov, 24 2006 07:11pm Looks like it is a small temple,but what is a dedication to, I suppose ,many hours of handwork in representing a a local life. dantrenner - Nov, 25 2006 02:11am Excellent exposure but it's too bad the pillar is in the picture. I have a shot of this myself (somewhere), and I think I had to move over to the left or right to get it. Four *'s/
