Shore Temple, Mamallapurum under Tsunami 500 years ago

Sea Shore temple built by Pallava empire was impressive, only one is in existence now, But there were six others. Once was decorated like a dream play house for Pallava kings, vanished by tsunami by mother nature but there is still one shore temple still survives with beauty and serenity for public to visualize. The latest tsunami did uncover some artifact from the past. What a sight would be when everything would be intact without weatherization. Someone said, passed through the word of mouth that God got jealous due to the place being so beautiful and even heaven could not match the serenity and beauty. I visited the shore temple many times when I was young and my ancestors born and raised in that area. There were sweat through hard work to create such a masterpiece. But the artists talents, engineering and combined with sense of humor present even to this day for public to view.
Thank you UNESCO, this belongs to the world.

Pongal Festival

Pongal is similar to Thanksgiving, centers around the harvest, family is the center, kids usually have lot of fun due to sugary food and munching on sugar cane. I did enjoy during my younger days munching on the sugar cane.

This is my newest oil painting which shows the highlights of Fort Mohave County mountains. One may recognize the scene from visiting Laughlin Nevada. One can see the Spirit Mountains, Finger Mountain, Elephant tooth and upside down Snow Cone Mountain. Loved the scenery.

inspired from Cholas ancient dynasty temple mural

Chola's empire encompassed all the way to Singapore. The name itself suggests the south India's influence in southeast Asia. Bragatheswara Temple still stands tall in Thanjavore which was from the 11th century. The above painting is my take on the original done by the master painters in Chola's period. I enjoyed painting this piece to my likings.
