Banteay Srei, Angkor Watt, Cambodia

To the east (Harivamsa) is the "Rain of Indra", or beneficial rain, indicated by parallel lines which fall on a stylised forest inhabited with animals and through which pass the child Krishna with his brother Balarama. The god, mounted on a three headed elephant, dominates the clouds - represented by many undulating lines. On the axis stands the naga, the symbol of water.

Before reading the description I'd not have thought of the story at all. Now looking at it again and reading the description makes me appreciate it much more. 'Indra' is supposed to ride a white elephant (that could fly defying gravity) but never knew it was a three-headed one
