One of the most beautiful places we visited in India was Mamallapuram. This tiny coastal town is loaded with absolutely amazing carvings dating back to the 7th century. The carvings depict animals, dieties, and day-to-day activities. I was really blown away by their clarity and solidity. This is a detail of a very lovely, life-size relief sculpture showing cow herders and a man milking a cow.
