Kalyana Mandapa, a photo from Karnataka, South

Photographer's Note

Vittala tapınağı,Vijayanagara deminin en emli anıt alanlarından biri, bir k�lliye. Dikdtgen bir alan i軻risinde tapınaklar, m�zikholler ve 軻şitli başka yapılar var. A�ık bir k�şk g�n�m�nde olan Kalyana Mandapa ise evlenmelerin tanrıların huzurunda yapıldığı kutsal bir, bug�n�n tabiriyle, evlendirme dairesi.

The Vitthala Temple is one of the greatest monuments of the Vijayanagara period and dates from the 16th Century. The complex has a number of structures inside a rectangular court. The Kalyana Mandapa, an open pavilion, was used for ceremonies involving the symbolic marriage of the temple's divinity to his consort. Its interior, surrounded by impressive columns, contains a platform in the centre for the performance of sacred dances. Massive pillars, decorated with soldiers riding yalis, carry the large brackets and roof beams.

Hello ﾇağla,
The two ladies in their elegant sarees are well placed in the foreground as they are approaching the impressive temple pavilion. The wonderful warm light gives the photo a golden glow.
Regards,

Hello Cagla,
I like very much the reference added by the two ladies walking towards the temple, they also add dynamism and depth. At the same time, the foreground is distinguished so effectively and the temple stands out in an imposing way. I like how it's balanced by its own slim and heavy features as well as by its placement in the middlw of the frame. The colours convey a pleasing warmth. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Hello, Cagla!

The temple is wonderful, with very nice architecture, and the low light gives it beautiful warm colors! I also like the presence of the people in front of it! Wonderful place and composition! Well done!

Merhaba Cagla. What spectacular light upon the temple! Great details and warm colours, Nice too how the two women are in the shade, thus not taking interest from the structure and yet contributing to the pious sentiment. Top shot. Best wishes to you and your traumatised country. Klaudio.
