This picture of Ravana and mount Kailash was taken in Murudeshwar. Around the temple of Murudeshara a philanthropist had constructed what looked like a religious theme park. This included a walk though exhibition built into an artificial cave. This is one of the several episodes depicted in the cave.
The monuments and temples in India abound with exquisite sculptures based on the epics. This is a humble attempt to explain some of them.This is no scholarly work.I have only collected these from several sources- oral, printed and on-line. There can be no authentic version of such stories as there are many variations and interpretations . I have left out the complex explanations and debates to just give an overview of episodes depicted in stone. All photographs by (C) V.Harihara Subramanian.
