Photographer's Note

Taken on same day as the Marriage party photo.
This is a small temple in the interiors of the township Nautanwa. Though not very popular however has nice and colourful sculptures like this one on the 3 outer sides.

The photo shows goddess Saraswati (goddess of Knowledge as in the Indian mythology)

Lovely colors and sculpture. i like the red tikka on her forehead, and the odd shapes of the whole.
Well seen.

Namaste Yuvraj,
I found you, a few minutes ago I wrote an E-Mail to you. I like this photo very much, also the explanation, so I know, this is a brainy god. Hinduism is very interesting, but also difficult for me. I only can remember the important gods, but I like to hear stories about this religion. Thanks a lot for this beautiful shot, bye
