Vishnu Springs (vishnusprings.org) opened to the public for one day. After parking, it was about a half mile walk to the area of the 1890's resort town. The pathway went through a beautiful wooded forest.
Thanks for viewing my photo albums:

So Dad's birthday was Saturday and he lives in Vegas and Darling Tonia says flights to Vegas are a lot cheaper if you arrive and depart midweek, so.... On Wednesday we landed about one, rented a car and bolted for the South Rim of the Grand Canyon four plus hours away and got off a dozen shots before the sun went down. Love it when a plan comes together.... :)

Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and one of the largest religious monuments in the world, on a site measuring 162.6 hectares.

The morning sun makes itself known from behind the clouds over the bell shaped formation known as the Temple of Vishnu.
Dashavatar temple is stated to be built in the 5th century during the reign of Gupta empire in India and it is also claimed by the historians to be the oldest untransfored Hindu temple in the country.
The stone relief work of Lord Vishnu in reclining position is a gem of artwork.

From the Wiki Page: "Vishnu Temple is named for Vishnu, the Hindu deity, redeemer of the universe. This toponym was applied in 1880 by Clarence Dutton who thought this mountain resembled an oriental pagoda, when he began the tradition of naming geographical features in the Grand Canyon after mythological deities."
I believe that is Humphreys Peak, a dormant volcano, way off in the distance, which is just north of Flagstaff, Arizona.

Der schönste Tafelberg (Butte) der Schlucht erinnert in seiner Gestalt verblüffend einen Hindutempel. Der Vishnu Temple ist nach der hinduistischen Gottheit Vishnu benannt worden.
Viele topographische Geländepunkte und auch Gesteinsformationen im Grand Canyon sind nach mythologischen Gottheiten benannt.

On our first night in the Grand Canyon we went out to Grandview and got to enjoy this view! Lots of people here but nonetheless worth the stop! It got me really excited to start our backpacking trip the next day!

I took an afternoon hike in the remote area of Java just outside the town of Jogjakarta to explore this temple. It's called Prambanan, and it was built around 850 CE.
The rain was pouring down, which left me and Will there pretty much alone, except for a few wild deer in the area. I waited through the rain because I knew if it cleared there would be a great sunset. I had a little baggy over my camera to keep it dry until everything passed...
While waiting on the rain to stop, I walked around and did more up close exploration of the temples of Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma, which were three of the largest in the complex. All the temple blocks were on the edge of collapse, after many centuries of Indonesian earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Angkor Wat ("Capital Temple") is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world measuring 162.6 hectares. It was originally constructed in early 12th century by King Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire and gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia (national flag) and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleried temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru. Within the moat is the outer wall 3.6 kilometers long and there are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the center of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas (deity) adorning its walls.
Here is a shot from my campsite on the tonto trail. A magnificent view of these temples. I went on a 6 day backpacking trip on the escalante route and almost made it to the Little Colorado River, but was turned around by the weather and lack of food. I started at Grandview and ended at Tanner.

Beautiful sculpture of Varaha Avatar of Lord Vishnu-
Varaha is the third avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu in the form of a boar. When the demon Hiranyaksha stole the earth (personified as the goddess Bhudevi) and hid her in the primordial waters, Vishnu appeared as Varaha to rescue her. Varaha slew the demon and retrieved the Earth from the ocean, lifting it on his tusks, and restored Bhudevi to her place in the universe.
Varaha may be depicted completely as a boar or in an anthropomorphic form, with a boar's head and human body.
