Can you guess where this Shiva & Parvathi sculpture is?
Take a look at the second picture!
It is at least 175 feet above the ground level on the Vimanam of Rajarajesvaram or Peruvudaiyar Kovil or Brihadiswarar temple or Big temple!

Goddess Sita giving her ring to #Hanumanji #Anjaneyar as "proof of life of herself" to be given to Ram!
Notice that smile on the face of Goddess Sita.
This is a heavily damaged sculpture, still that beautiful smile is recognisable!
Amruteshvara Temple in Amruthapura, KA

This is in Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy Temple, Tadipatri, AP
Looking at his head gear and the dress he is wearing I think he must be the king Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu I - who built this temple?
It was built between 1490 and 1509 by Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu I, a chieftain of the Gutti-Gandikota region during the reign of the Vijayanagara Empire!
