India Day 9 - Khajuraho
The huge Hindu Temple to Vishnu at Khajuraho is nearly 1000 years old and covered in carvings
This is view of the interior part of the Southern Outer Gallery with some of the most famous bas-relief carvings named "Army of Suryavarman II Gallery".
The bas relief carvings are on all four sides of the outer walls of the Outer Gallery. They tell Hindu stories of heaven and hell and great armies and struggles of the world. These reliefs are detailed and very well preserved when considering that they were carved in the 1100s. They are not worn out (protected by solid gallery roofs supported by solid columns and walls). There are darkened areas where visitors had touched the relief.
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.

Kbal Spean est un site archéologique d'Angkor, bien connu pour son spectaculaire lit de rivière sculpté, au creux de la jungle au nord-est d'Angkor dans le parc national de Phnom Kulen, sur le plateau du Phnom Kulen, à 10 km. au nord de Banteay Srei.
(...)
Kbal Spean a été découvert en 1968, par l'ethnologue Jean Boulbet alors membre de l'École française d'Extrême-Orient.

« Mille linga » pavent le lit de la rivière. De nombreuses figures divines hindouistes sont sculptées dans le lit de la rivière. Elles se révèlent plus ou moins en fonction du niveau de la rivière. Leurs motifs retracent la création telle qu'elle est définie dans la mythologie hindoue. On y découvre ainsi l'apparence de Vishnu, sommeillant sur le serpent nāga Ananta. De son corps s'élève une fleur de lotus dans laquelle est assis Brahma, le dieu créateur.

Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world with the site measuring 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m2). It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple toward the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura, present-day Angkor, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. 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, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

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!

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.
