Facade of Depara Temple, West Bengal
The shot of the facade of Depara Temple was taken from the extreme edge of the courtyard. The complete view of the facade from other directions is not possible. The temple stands on a 4 feet high raised platform. The lady of the house overlooking the affairs of the temple and house doesn’t remember when the last face lift to the temple was given. At least none after she was married into the family. I will be featuring her in my Faces of India series next.Imagine a whole temple like this to call your own!
