19 May, 2013. Bandalike also called Bandanike although an uninhabited village now, was an important place under the Kadamba kings. The Kadambas of Nagarkhanda were another scion of the Kadamba dynasty.

28 August, 2012. Bhandasar temple - Bikaner. The temple is dedicated to Sumatinath Ji, the fifth Tirthankara of the Jains. The paintings from Jain scriptures on the interior walls and ceiling of this temple are of much later times. The temple is mainly famous for wall paintings and usta art. One can see the skyline of Bikaner by climbing to the topmost floor of this temple. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bhandasar temple - Bikaner.

17 August, 2013. Joger Gerusoppa - Jog Falls - Shivamogga. Who can stand over this mighty spectacle, says one, and disbelieve in a Creator? No, says another, the most cogent position-topographically as well as theologically speaking-is below, in the pool. One man has been tapping the dark-gray rocks with a little hammer and hints at geological possibilities. Another laments the huge waste of "uncaptured" power. A third promises excellent fishing a certain number of feet above, or is it below? Jog Falls c...

27 December, 2011. Bhuvaraha Narasimha temple at Halasi. Works of art indeed are not made entirely at random from inspiration; there are almost always discoverable some methods, principles and irrevocable canonical rules. Whatever may be the originality of a work, it is connected with contemporary works; it is explained by anterior works. The author belongs to a school, the work belongs to a style".

29 September, 2013. Patwa Haveli - Tajmahal of Jaisalmer. An intriguing asset to architectural history, the special quality of the haveli stems from the fact that it is not a single haveli, but a cluster of five havelis. The first of the five Havelis known as the Kothar's Patwa Haveli, named after the present owner, is most opulent and extrordinarily preserved. It gives a glimpse of the rich lifestyle of the erstwhile Patwas. Mohini Vilas (Mirror Work). Gold Ceiling in chamber. Chess table in Jivan Vilas.

25 February, 2012. Mallikarjuna temple - BasaraaLu. Has been borrowed from Indian temple architecture: form and transformation: the karnaata Draavida tradition 7th to 13th centuries. The Hoysala style changes relatively little over the whole period of its existence, from overall composition down to the shapes of mouldings. Naasi details and subtle differences in the character of carving point to different sub-schools. A record of Hoysala Narasimha II, dated 1234 AD refers to the grant given to the servic...
