Nice capture dear; love the details and color - I would prefer a much higher angle - which avoids the elephants body from the frame...

Ah, I was HOPING you'd post a close-up of one of these doorway carvings. So this sanguine fellow is guarding the entrance. I see his hand signal to stop. But his pose and lack of weapons looks very casual, even graceful. Thanks!

Sharon, the hand signal is not to stop. This gesture is called "Abhaya Hastam" in sanskrit. It means I'm protecting you, do not fear. This symbolism is found on most of statues in Hindu temples. I agree with you, his post is very casual and graceful.

Interesting capture. Thanks for educating us on Indian temples, they're interesting to know. :)
