from @travelwithkarthik - While we buckle up for the goa trip, here are my favourite clicks from the vault. Shot way back in the day, the shore temple, mahabalipuram. Though I posted about this back in the day, here is my reiteration of the same thought. I am not religious nor do I support any religion but these temples down south are just not some worship places. They are a living testimony of a life times work of thousands of artists. It's a shame that the Muslim rulers were insecure about the impact of these grand structures that they had to resort to destroying every single carving or a statue in every temple across India. This is where true India is. It's high time the government started promoting the places where our roots stem from rather than concentrating only on the Taj or the beaches. Yes Taj Mahal is also a marvel. It is beautiful. But it isn't the only thing defining India. We have been the artists of the world till the fifteenth century and our people art is here... The temples, the caves and those paintings! Let's give a huge combined shout-out and let's bring light to these beaming monuments. #architecture #landscape #photography #hdrphotography #hdr #temple #art #light #sky #dramatic #beautiful #travel #travelphotography #blogger #travelblogger #wanderlust #viajar #globetrotter #sunrise #mahabalipuram #chennai #tamilnadu #culture #heritage #instalike #instagood #like4like #morning #india #mypixeldiary
