    - Dear Kannan

    Just imagine the 11th and 12th Century - just prior to Mohammeden Rule in India.

    Thanjavur - Big temple
    Belur - Halabedu - Hoysalas
    Bhuvaneswar - Lingaraja
    Ellora

    and Ankurwatt in Cambodia !!

    Golden Era of Temple Architecture !!

    Dear SPS & Kannan,
    Please, don't forget Khajuraho in list of great temples
    of that era.

    I'm puzzled tho re Puri: how could Lord Krishna have
    left his body at Puri, when he was hit by an arrow at
    Bhalka Tirth outside Dwarka, GUJ?
    Just curious. . .
    Kathie
    ps I have photos from Konark also, if anyone wants them.

    Yes Kathie is correct, the Bhagavatham/Mahabharat say Sri Krishna left his body just outside Dwaraka following which Dwaraka was submerged in the sea. This is a 'borrowed' myth :))

    You both are right.

    Let me also check PURI Puranam.

    But the local temple person told us this..

    Myths do surround such events

    if rama had visited all the places in ramnad district that he is reported to have , he would have had no time to invade lanka....

    " It also houses the relics of many Hindu saints as traditionally it is seen as a holy place to die in or to be cremated. "

    May be our Local guide added more spice by including Lord Krishna also in the list !

    thanks for setting right.

    regards / sps
