Lively Panels from Indian Temples.
The nameless artists have created work on the walls of temples which were not only for Icons ,but portrayal of the society around.
My wife and I have collected many such photos of panels from temples in West Bengal and Rajasthan. I try to offer to viewers of my hubs glimpses of work of these artists which may not be great work of art, yet are interesting as they tell 'stories'
