Raja Rani Temple |

back to the 11th century, the Raja-Rani
Temple is an elegant example of temple
art and architecture. |

sensuous beauty of the female form and the filigree
sweetness of flowers and fruits are enhanced by
the artist's labourious skill. Lack of a deity and
celebration of the female form are some intresting
features of the temple. |
