Amazing to see how these are carved over multiple blocks of sandstones and still well fitted.
Also can see how they are trying to restore the damages.

It was too bright at the late afternoon and I liked the silhouettes, especially how small that man sitting on the fence looked.

These terraced fields reminded me the rice fields of Bali. Here, they are farming onions, potatoes and carrots.

It looked like a javan myna from afar but has a unique tail and plumage. Beautiful little bird and happy to have a sight of it.

Lush green blanket covered the entire mountain range and a sliver line of water fall coming down in the distance. It was a majestic view from that spot.

Nandhi is always positioned facing God Shiva traditionally. This statue was facing Darbhar (Royal court) inside the palace complex which housed temples as well.

Angle of the Sun rays amidst the leaves and shadows had revealed the inner veins of the flower and made the petals sparkling. I liked the effect and the colors.
