Wonderful pics, I will take some time later to go through your drawings and commentaries on India, right now I consult at a yoga charity in London - and everyone is in India off and on!
Jo, these temples are from the Hoysala period in Belur and Halebedu in Karnataka. Belur and Halebedu are neighbouring cities that are about 3-4 hours away from Bangalore. If you like to see intricate sculptures this is the place to be. The last picture I have uploaded here is to highlight the painstaking lengths to which sculptors have gone to render the strings in the instrument. Note the finger under the string!
