This 1000yrs old tremendous intricacy on walls of Kesava temple, Somanathapura is the result of rich Indian Civilization.
Temple walls act like encyclopaedia - Simple Animal elements at the base to complex elements like romanticism to the top to educate kids to adults. "Patta/thara" is a band at base of temple walls. Different parts are:
Elephant band = Gaja Thara
Horse Band = Asva Thara
Lion Band = Simha Thara
Face of glory band = Kirtimukha Thara
Secular band = Dinachara Thara
Celestial band = Gandharva Thara
Floral Band = Patra Thara

The familiar figure of Lord Murugan at the entrance to the Batu Caves at Gombak, just to the north of Kuala Lumpur. The limestone karst the houses the caves is said to be around 400 million years old .
♦
In 1890 K. Thamboosamy Pillai, a Malaysian of Tamil origin began to promote the caves as a place of worship. Inspired by the vel-shaped (sacred spear-shaped) entrance to the cave, he dedicated a temple inside to Murugan, the Hindu god of war. .
There are 272 steps to reach the main cave in which there are several colourful shrines.

"Shila Mandapika" (Single Stone Pavilion) Style temples are simplest & ancient, indicating the initial stage of temple construction in Madhya Bharat. They date back to 500 - 700 CE. A simple "Pragriva" (Porch) is a common addition. The same Shila Mandapikas grew gigantic to what is today called "Nagara Architecture"

I associated fire the sun and it had me thinking of this beautiful chariot shaped temple built for Surya, the Hindu sun god. Here is my interpretation of the Sun temple in Odisha, India based on a photo found on pixabay.

Quoting a few Interesting historical facts I found while researching :)
-
-
- The statue of the Sun God inside the temple was built of a material with iron content and was said to be floating in air, without any physical support, due to the unique arrangements of a magnet at the top,bottom and the around the temple walls.
-
-
- The placement of the main temple and the Sun God had been aligned in such a way that the first ray of the Sun from the coast would cross the Nata Mandir (Dancing Hall) and would fall & reflect from the diamond placed at the crown of the Sun God.
