Indian Engineering

Soaring high and expanding wide, this grand Gopuram at the Thiruvannamalai temple challenged the wide angle capabilities of my lens. It was crafted with passion - One of those structures that baffles modern engineers.
I should have been a little patient to include the right hand side corners. But a    14 km walk around the sacred mountain (encompassing the temple) was exhausting.
Perhaps a bad excuse now!
Thiruvannamalai- the home to many enlightened souls that are believed to walk the land in subtle forms. And this temple gate seems to have been so constructed to indicate the various stages, an aspirant graduates through in the process of evolving.
