We have our own sphinx. Never heard about their existence
before my visit to this place.

Mahabalipuram was a port few centuries back, many people may had visited this place or many people from this part of the county might have had visited other countries.
Had they copied it from Egypt or some country or it is just the imagination of the person who carved it. Do not know ?

Besides being a port it was school of art also.
My guide in Mahabalipuram showed me very proudly the gap
between the rock and the front leg of the cow.
A well curved milk woman.
The carvings in this cave are related to Krishna where one can see a Buddhist monk milking a cow.
A Good imagination.
It is monkey or a child on his father's shoulders.
I think it is Durga riding on Lion ?
A shephard in rains..
This Krishna lifting the Goverdhan on his finger.
How these rocks were carved into these different styles ?
How much time they have taken ?
Well, never actually imagined a Buddhist monk could bother himself with such earthly things as milking a cow :)
