Sankaran Kovil

Drawing no comparisons with the Sistine chapel or any other work of art, you dont have to look any further than the temple towns for the indian version of frescoes adorned ceilings!!!






































I dont exactly know when this particular ceiling was painted.. The angels in the corner look very similar to the cherubs!!














Check out the cherubs in http://www.laparliere.com/images/murals/cherubs.jpg

Same goes with the chinese looking tigers in this pic!
