Thursday Challenge: Hard - Keshava Temple, Somnathpura, India - July 25, 2013


During my first long visit to India, my dear blogging friend, Shiju Sugunan, 
drove me down south to see Somnathpura and Mysore.  One of these days,
I am actually going to do a blog about both of these amazing places.

I chose one of the Keshava Temple ( also known as Somnathpura Temple )
buildings for my depiction of "hard".  Though carved of soapstone, a relatively
soft material ), the surface certainly felt hard to me.  The temple, which has
endured over 700 years, is one of the finest built in the Hoyasala style.
