Hey,

       This is my first blog. My blog is about dance. I am crazy about dance. I want to travel as much as I can and capture dance forms both historical and contemprary.

I started my journey of this dance travelogue in the temples of Tanjore and Trichy which are temple towns in Tamilnadu, India. I took hundreds of pictures. I have taken many dance postures on pillars of temples.

This is my first experience of taking  pictures of dance postures of these temples mentioned above. There were statues of various gods and godesses  engraved on the walls of the temples. In all these pictures we can see a lot intricate work.

Dance postures

Wow she is an ecstatic dance. She is dancing freely. This shows freedom of mind.

As we crossed Gopurams right in front in one of the large halls on of the unnoticed pillar I found this beautiful dancer.

Here you see one of the many pillars with different dance postures just outside the lord Shiva temple in Tanjore temple. There's so much to capture in this temple that it would take me at least 15 days of photography to feel that I have done some justice.

This particular dance pose was found in front of  a temple. This particular sculpture is large in size.

Here this particular dance pose on a pillar was found arts and sculptures section, of Srirangam temple in Trichy. The arts and sculptures section consists of a large hall of pillars and corridars on all four sides.  



Like I said earlier, the temples are so full of scultures - the inner walls of the temple, the outer walls, the panels on doorways and ceilings, the arches or the grand gates called gopurams. This particular  sculpture is from the outer wall of the Subramaniam temple in the Tanjore temple complex.

Wish me luck all of you.. I have at least 400 more pics that I need to write about. .. and soon I will be travelling again to yet another location with fabulous temples.
