The Jains and Buddhists broke from the Hindu caste system. Hinduism is sometimes called a natural religion as no one "discovered" it and was based on nature. It now has amassed over a billion gods.
Again, all hand carved from the volcanic rock. One of the Hindu ones you can see is separated from the rock on 5 sides: top and all 4 sides. Imagine-- all carved with chisels, hammers, and pick ax!
On the unfinished ones, the marks of the tools are clearly visible.
Notice the one of Shiva and his wife, Paverti. See how he looms over her? Hence the placement of women
in Indian society.
Relaxing at hotel till our plane out at 8. Hope it comes !!
