Just Brilliant



This is the nandi at the Kama-Kameshwari Temple entrance. temple is just in front of JSS Hospital, Ramanuja Road, Mysore.
it is worth visiting because its usually you, priest and god.
Temple History - will update as soon as i get back to mysore. i dont remember it well...naah. i dont remember the history at all!
the beauty of the this nandi is -
it has bells (gejje) around its neck. usually, the real bells are made of brass. it has a metallic ball which rolls inside to produce sound. the gejje here is so beautifully sculpted that there is a ball of stone inside the stone bell and is free to roll !!! one can actually put a small stick inside the bell slit and see it !!!
temple also has beautiful sculptures.
Truly a master piece.
Just Brilliant.
