2nd set from the Bellur Haleebedu ride.
The world never ends...
Neither does the roads...
Supposedly the world's tallest monolitic statue of the naked god Gomatheswara.(From the Jain temple- Sravanabelagola)
The ferocious Hindu god Narashimma(face of lion and body of human) tears off a demons stomach and rips away the intestines..11th century death metal freaks would have designed him I guess..
The ouside of the Halebeedu temple was filled with sculptures of gods ,animals,dancers musicians,sexual acts etc.....
We met scorpion at the village we camped for the night.
