| This is the Airavatesuara Temple in Darasuram just outside of Trichy, Tamil Nadu. It's all carved out of stone! I'm pretty impressed, but lots of folks around there don't seem to think it's such a big deal. The lack of support for restoration efforts is evident in heaps of crumbling granite carvings surrounding the temple. That's unfortunate... I wonder what the cultural equivalent of the Airavatesuara Temple is in the US? I think Wal-Marts are really underrated. Maybe in 1,000 years good people will have to beg the guv'ment for money to keep the florescent lights going in the Sam's Club by my dad's apartment. |
