five finger temple dp325
the temple of the Cholas
grows out of the plain
like five mountains
imitating the granite
rock that rises
on the horizon
the great rock is the
palm of earth’s hand
the gopuram its fingers

Trichy
It never ceased to amaze me how huge the temples were. This one is the largest in Tamil Nadu.
