Happy Vijaya Dashami , this post is especially for those who celebrate Rama's Victory over Ravana today. This frieze is from Hazar Rama Temple, Hampi, early 16c. Frieze shows bridge building, battle etc..Entire temple is full of such pictographic sculptural embellishment.

Don't know why this statue of Gopal Krishna Gokhale caught my closer attention today as if beckoned to read the tablet at its feet.. "Universal Education, National Unity, Equality of Citizenship, and Self Government." any guesses which 2 we have dropped from our conscience?
