Temple of Shiva

Since my last and only visit to the Ellora Caves and Kailasa Temple, I have had this vision and imagination, some sort of unlived memory of living in that era and being in the central hall of the temple and experiencing a puja with priests and common people all around, the combined chorus of the chanting of Maha Mrityunjay Mantra echoing like thunder across the stone walls and pillars, the smell of incense and firewood, of flowers and bel leaves, milk and ghee and honey filling up our senses, early morning sunlight washing every speck of darkness away.
Finally got some time to work on an image, of not exactly the same place, but some ancient Indian temple of Lord Shiva resplendent in all its glory and divinity. Hope you like!
