The Lord

Everywhere in India there are divine signs: temples, shrines, ashrams, icons, statues... This is one of the most magnificent ones that I've seen, situated in a small village Azhimala, Kerala. It is one of the most important temples for the Hindi pilgrims. Shiva is often called "The Lord" & people warship him as a God of destruction & are a bit afraid of him. He had hundreds or thousands of wives - some of which the most important are Parvathi & Kali. Here, on this statue, is Parvathi with whose shakti female-creative energy Shiva gets his final enormous powers. Without that energy Shiva would be weaker. This giant statue is also made this way to make the people small & awe toward the divine.
Other photos are in front of the temple. I made them during the Pongal festival so many pilgrims were there at the time.

This is my entry to #monomad challenge. Thanks @monochromes for keeping up this great photo challenge! You can choose any of the photos from this post as an entry to the contest.
