Sahasralinga revisited

May 22, 2010. Third visit to Sahasralinga.

Dadapeer was really thrilled to see this place. He went snapping up with his mobile camera. He kept pointing at several sculptures asking me to take pictures of them.




Some say that's a palette and some say it's made for having food but I just felt that it could made to keep pooja items like flowers, vibhuti, kumkuma, arishina, sandal paste, etc. in place.



This Basavanna looks like he'll get up and come charging anytime.

Elephant head, Shivalinga and a panati i.e. an oil lamp.



Bull licking it's back.

That's Lord Ganapati.





A signature- Chennabasavaraja Lingayya -that's how inscription reads.
