Belur Temples

This weekend I made a quick surprise visit to Bangalore to check up on some of my colleagues and friends there. It was an exciting weekend and I went around quite a bit, although was unable to meet up with most of the guys and gals there...
Went to a place called Belur, it is famous for its temple and intricate carvings of figurines. The temple is devoted to Shiva and depicts Shiva in the form of a lady, who came to kill a Danaav. It truly was a really interesting place and without the guide to go around with is not worth it, the guide informs you on what all is there and makes you see the intricacies which are in-built into each and every statuette which is present there. Also, he does give you a brief history of the place as to the fact that it took 3 generations and 103 years to complete the main section and that it is composed of soft stone carvings, which you can see from the light showered on the same as to the intricacy and fine work that has gone into making the same.

Also, the figurine of Shiva is in the form of a woman. This has been built in the prefect shape, with a symmetry of the forehead, nose and jaw and the complete face length equal to the width of the waist. Also, this is for all guys, if your wife or GF has a longer second finger, then she will be dominating, so if choosing a GF or a wife, first check out her second finger of the foot... :-D

This paragraph used to be "if your wife of GF has a longer second finger, then she will be dominating, so if choosing a GF for a wife..." and was corrected later.

Log kaafi modern ho gaye hain. wife ke liye GF search karte hain :)
