Kailash Temple
« on: Sep 20 2008 - 08:56AM »
This amazing temple was  carved out of one single rock, which is absolutely mind blowing.  Could you imagine what kind of history and ghosts could be found at a place like this?
[float=right][/float]
"The Kailasa Temple, it is safe to say, is one of the most astonishing 'buildings' in the history of architecture.  This shrine was not constructed of stone on stone, it was in fact not constructed at all: it was carved, sculpted in toto from the volcanic hillside! A squared, U-shaped trench was first cut into the slope to a depth of close to 100 feet.  The 'liberated' mass in the center was then patiently carved from the living rock to produce a freestanding, two-story Hindu temple of dazzling complexity. The temple, which is dedicated to Shiva, the often threatening god of the Hindu trilogy, measures 109 feet wide by 164 feet long. It stands on an elevated plinth to attain greater presence in its tight surroundings. The complex consists of entry, Nandi (i.e. bull) shrine, open porch, main hall, and inner sanctum. Variously scaled panels, friezes, and sculpture highlight many surfaces."

If you answered phones 9 hours straight, you'd be surprised how smart you end up feeling. I answer the main phones for a hospital and get the most retarded questions. What do you do when you have a Cheerio stuck up YOUR nose? Qu
