We found it completely by accident, which I think is somewhat ironically intentional. Victor appeared out of nowhere a few times as we walked through the place. I was a student of Eastern religions, so it was especially fortuitous to have stumbled upon such a strange and mystical place.

But it is a jewel in the heart of some wonderful landscape, and it deserves to be shared.<Fergerinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346977605522469239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702518553358588136.post-42863389599296703132010-08-08T22:32:33.919-07:002010-08-08T22:32:33.919-07:00@K8: Cheers!

I love the slot in the shed for the admission money, and the fact that there's often nobody serving in the (very well priced!) gift shop... it's so trusting and open.<br /><br />Somebody told me once that the finger was once something far more phallically themed, but it had to be re-carved by request fromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702518553358588136.post-32079413266544566552010-05-02T14:51:10.196-07:002010-05-02T14:51:10.196-07:00@Demurelemur: Yep i recall there being a little re...@Demurelemur: Yep i recall there being a little references carved into some of the sculptures- and if memory serves me right there was a mouse with a Guinness on one Ganesh sculpture in the front field. <br /><br />So glad you've experienced it.

My favourite moment of my visit was wandering around the back of a massive stone statue of the fasting Buddha only to find that he had a nokia mobile in his back pocket.
