These sculptures were made around 8th Century. Labels in Vatteluttu script apparently indicates some of these images were made in memory of departed souls. Many Jain Ascetics lived in these hills back in those years.

The child has the best seat in the cart, I reckon.

She handled the cows with ease and she must have been walking a long distance.

He is likely an immigrant labor talking to his family members back home. These installations were done for the Deepavali festivities.

They were standing as if waiting for a taxi. Not exempted from wearing the masks, understandably so.

Cows straying on street is a common sight in Indian streets but this strayed calf caught my attention in a busy street with some emotion.

She would have hoped to sell the entire bag before end of the day, I guess. Woman in the background was at her tea stall, reading a paper.

He has an unique way to carry the pot which is different from how people carry in lower altitude. He’s well accustomed to carry at such altitude. The monastery is overlooking the Manasarovar lake and such divine and beautiful place.

I find that as cute as I have done the same under the hot Sun. Frangipani tree on the background is widely seen in Singapore.
