Kindly make a video on Pallava paintings found in Kancheepuram. They are on the verge of death! Verly little information is available on the internet about these paintings.

This is clearly Budha temple , no need to say its Shiva temple

[@sankarraj268]

😂 are you illiterate? I have visited the place… there is no sign of Buddhist temple and some near by places… Buddhist monk lived there are lot of samples there… but this is not the one… 😅

[@xavier9476]

​@@sankarraj268Who said? Vettuvan Kovil and moovar Kovil is Buddhist temple...thats built for ancient tamil poets...and they are Buddhist and samanars.☯️

[@ajaykumar-vw1rg]

Actually it’s an misconception that they worked from the top. They actually carved out a roughly shape of the structure, and then worked sideways.

[@user-sf3dj9is8h]

This was not a grand project but it was a school to teach sculptors about rock carving.

[@user-sf3dj9is8h]

This proves that southern Indians built ajantha and ellora structures.

[@user-sf3dj9is8h]

@Abhishek_033 could be, because kannada and Tamil kings had been fighting for 1000's of years, Kannada kings ruled the west coast and traded with the western countries while tamils traded with the Eastern countries.

[@user-sf3dj9is8h]

@Abhishek_033 never, Tamils came from Present day Yemen which was called as Elam, while Kannadigas and Telugu are original inhabitants of India.

[@user-sf3dj9is8h]

@Abhishek_033 you have Zero knowledge about Southern India so STFU 🤣

[@jayspice4987]

Ellora was built by Kanaddiga kingdom.

[@SarathgopiKrishna]
