this is a sculpture at the entrance of Konark Temple, Orissa, India. That is basically a lion, reflecting the power of the king. It is also used for warding off evils. The deity in the temple is Sun-god.
Gorgeous shot of this magnificent statue. Beautiful composition and clarity. Looks like a great place to wonder about.... hope you made more pics so I can see more of this place!
