in the temples constructed centuries ago. The sculptures boast of
their creativity and hard work. The numerous sculptures on temple
walls are all hewn out of hard rock & last to date. Rock-cut
architecture was perfected by the Buddhists, and was followed by
several Hindu rulers. In Southern India Pallavas excelled in this
art form.
The sculptures or idols in temples are made of granite & the
Utsava murthis are made of bronze & panchaloha. Apart from these,
there are the huge Iyyanar statues & horses exist in South Indian
villages.
Indian Festivals
The Indian calendar is a yearlong procession of festivals. These
are both varied in origin and large in number. There are innumerable
national, regional, local, religious, seasonal and social festivities.

rituals characterize all the festivals. Travelers are struck by

cultural scene here. If the fireworks of Dussehra symbolize the
triumph of good over evil, prayers of Raksha Bandhan are said for
a long and happy life of a brother.
