In my last post, I showed a closeup of one of the columns found in this mandapa in the Darasuram temple. Even though there are definite stylistic similarities, each stone column of this performance/meeting place is unique. Dancers, musicians, and deities play a prominent role in these relief carvings, accentuated by geometric and organic designs.
Most temples were at one time painted with bright colors. How different this scene must have been...

This was one of my favorite places that we visited. Also liked that there was hardly anyone else about.
I agree with bibi, it is my favorite also I visit so many times over there. Well now I am planning to visit North America because there lots of historical places. If you travel NA so visit Virginia.
