Wall Paintings & Murals – Tanjore

The number of visuals vying for the attention of my eyes is mind-boggling.

What should I see – what should I stop and stare at, what should I stop and process with my mind, what should I click, what should I make a mental note of to come back to again, what should I earmark for further study?

Too much out there in Tanjore to absorb!

Here are some wall paintings / murals in the chambers of the compound wall of the temple complex:

And then there were some that had been lifted off the walls and saved from destruction, framed and then displayed:

and finally some other fantastic paintings on walls & ceilings here & there:

Can’t get enough right?

I could sit and look at each for a whole day…but maybe I’ll just stare at my screen for a whole day and be happy looking at zoomed-in pixels!
