Wow, very cool!
Thanks a lot for visiting Kaleb.Hope you are doing great.
Doing a little bit of traveling myself these days. Discovering new things and places.
I went through your site, the idea of making your work free to download was great. They are really nice.Great work.
You should be on twitter sooner than later.
It was(and is) brilliant indeed!
Similar works can be found at Belur and Halebid temples. And the tour guide said it weighs tons.
Other works there are atleast equally brilliant.
