Guards

Temples generally have the DwaraBhalakas - sort of guards near the gate. They would look like fierce demons.

Have a look at the neo-Dwara Bhalakas in the Periyaveedu Chettinad house in Karaikudi (thanks to my friend Jaya who visited the place over the weekend). You have two soldiers with guns in their hands;-). Its seems the house is over 60 yrs.

Hey Sugan,
Just wanted you to know that I came across your blog and wanted to say Hi and keep blogging.

Are you a student of architecture? Just curious.

The blog about doctors throwing ethics to the wind was thoughtful, maybe some day I shall post a blog as to what makes them do so (an insiders insight;)

Cheers mate and Ta,
GTS
