By noticing this, we can't get around feeling quite impressed and it did leave a lasting imprint on both of us.

One thing I have noticed about Asian temples and shrines is that the various elements seem to be treated with affection as well as reverence--witness the brightly painted statues, garlands on the Nandi, and so forth. The statue of King Mahishasura reminds me of the discussion we had a while ago on Asian gods/heroes and snakes, and how we each ended up with our own smaller statues of them.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-39534616523390191722018-08-26T23:55:42.144-04:002018-08-26T23:55:42.144-04:00Dearest Mariette,
