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 building is very close to the Sea and the cyclone had left it in ruins but it still has a charm and beauty.

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