This picture, and the ones following were taken outside of a couple of different temples in Tamil Nadu. I think this one and the next few were in Swamimalai and the others were Thanjuvar. Personally I am not particularly interested in Temples, despite my interest in creating deities, but sometimes the life around the temples can be interesting (read, photographic). I hope these pictures are interesting/entertaining to you.
Then the driver found this bronze 'factory' that uses the lost wax method and creates these bronze sculptures, some are hammered as well. It's India 'old school'.
Then as a finale, as promised the Palace Museum in Thanjuvar and their take (if you can call it that) on 'exhibition design'. More like, the lack there of.... To me it was an interesting juxtaposition of sublime and ridiculous. You decide.
