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:

Angkor Wat está diseñado para representar el monte Meru, el nexo espiritual y físico en el hinduismo que es el centro de toda la realidad. Los cinco picos del Monte Meru están representados por las cinco agujas del templo. Se creía que Brahma y los Devas (semidioses) vivían en el monte Meru y es famosa la referencia que se hace en el Mahabharata cuando Yudhishthira y sus hermanos viajan a las puertas del cielo. Los hermanos van muriendo uno a uno hasta que solo quedan Yudhishthira y su fiel perro. Cuando llegan a la frontera del cielo, el guardián de la puerta le dice a Yudhishthira que puede entrar por la vida digna que vivió, pero que no se admiten perros en el cielo. Yudhishthira rechaza cualquier paraíso que no incluya a los perros y se aleja, pero el guardián lo detiene y se revela como Vishnú, que solo lo estaba probando una última vez antes de permitirle la entrada.
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.

The Vishnu Temple formation briefly scattered morning sunbeams across the landscape below Yaki Point.
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!

Photo peu imaginative et exclusivement informative
Exposition exceptionnelle (à ne pas rater pour les Franciliens ou touristes de passage qui aiment l'art asiatique autant que moi !), intitulée "Bronzes royaux d’Angkor" avec, en bouquet final, ce très beau Vishnou Anantashayin (= Allongé sur le serpent Ananta) du temple du Mebon occidental (XIème siècle, chef d'œuvre majeur du musée de Phnom Penh, et surnommé la "Joconde cambodgienne" !)
Statue en long séjour temporaire en France, car tout juste restaurée dans les ateliers du Louvre et exposée pendant quelques mois à Paris, jusqu'à début septembre, en attendant son retour ultérieur dans son pays natal.
Pour en savoir plus (et ça tombe bien car, le 25 mai, c'est la fête des khmères !)

Statue just restored in the workshops of the Louvre and exhibited during a few months in Paris (until beginning of september), waiting for its later return to Phnom Penh.
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.
A beautiful panel showing Lord Vishnu and his consort in the Chennakesava temple at Belur, Karnataka !!! This temple was built by Hoysala dynasty kings in the 13th century. This is the finest example of Hoysala architecture !!!
Have a great day friends !!!

Mortality and divinity are joined in this figure of a yoga master attaining an equivalence with the cosmos.
With its origins in India about 2,500 years ago, yoga developed philosophical elements both spiritual and secular, with ties to Hindu, Jain, Sufi and Buddhist traditions, in its goal of leading to spiritual transformation.

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.
And the festival of colours.
