Every nook and corner of Bali is decorated with beautiful sculptures like the ones you see in this picture. On the very first day of our stay there, our guide took us for a local play based on a story from Mahabharata. The way to the open air auditorium was adorned with nicely manicured lawn. What you see in the picture made one of the boundaries of that lush green lawn. I couldn’t resist capturing these some 300-400 years old statues neatly carved in the sand colored stones.
These sculptures are usually organized perfectly against a backdrop of light orange colored brick walls. The effect is not just pious but also endearing. If you notice carefully, even the expressions on the face of the stone dude who is meditating are perfect. Symmetry of the whole sculpture, no need to say, but was flawless.
