We had seen some super early bronzes but no photos. Often you pay an extra fee to take photos. At the Maratha Palace we saw another priceless collection of Chola bronzes and stone carvings.
A stone carving.
More works in stone.
This Shiva figure dates from the 11th century, Each part has a special meaning.
A 14th century bronze. Excellent detail.
At the Brihadisvara Temple, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, we had another great visit. At this temple they are not as strict with the dress code.
The wonderful entry gate.
A friendly group of pilgrims.
Sun sets over the temple.
The figure looks like an European but the temple was built long before the Portuguese arrived.
We departed as the gate glowed under the setting sun.
