Descent of the ganges - In Detail, Mahabalipuram

Mahabalipuram view map

One can see Sage Bhagiratha praying, while Lord Shiva, caresses the Ganges down into Earth.
Directly below Shiva is a Vishnu shrine with worshipers, ascetics, celestials, and animals.
A few animals are denning in caves to the left, but the remainder of the lower left portion
of the rock is unfinished.

Not the most intricate architecture, but a whole story said in a carving, its so beautiful.
Nothing can beat our Indian sculptures!
