Asthika Samaj Mandiram at Matunga, Mumbai. A typical south Indian temple of Shri. Ram built in south Indian style. Though, by the south Indian standards, its too small, but the beauty of the temple is nothing less than the temples we find in south India. I have captured some portions of the idols adorning the 'gopuram' of the temple instead of trying to capture the temple as a whole. This way, I have attempted to show the details of various scenes demonstrated on the 'gopuram'.
Symbol of the Vaishnava Sect. Since long, I was eager to capture this in my camera.
The main deity. Shri Ram, Laxman and Sita.
View of the main deity from outside.
A demonic design (to ward off evil).
A 'potraj' begging. A typical south Indian gentleman in lungi is trying to avoid him. Clicked in front of saree shop famous for south Indian sarees.
A demonic mask. Hanging in one of the flower shops.
The Garuda. At another temple.
