Stone carving on a pillar in the temple
Deep resonating sound
Calm presence of a guardian of the inner sanctum of the temple

I am guessing the beautiful carving of the goddess on the pillar is that of Saraswati, just because of the two lotus flowers on top. I may be wrong. Love these photos. And how cool is that bell?
What a great picture. I have been there and saw it :)
Jaya, you may be right. I have no clue and would love to know more about her. There's something very therapeutic and calming about tolling that bell as soon as you enter the inner sanctum. It's like taking a fast train to that quiet zone in my mind!
Priya, thanks! Isn't it a lovely little temple?
