Even though this tower was built during Chola period, some of the details might have been modified during the later Nayak Period. The Krishna Leela statues might have been added during the Nayak period.

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

I was happy to have included the little boy watching into the frame – as I felt too like that boy, just watching that spectacle.
