When Dhivakar Sir, gave me only a few photos of Mogalrajapuram caves, i was thirsting for more. So searched enough of the net, but couldn’t find any more resources on it. Finally in a desperate move, use google transliteration and typed `Mogalrajapuram’ in Telugu to try as a last ditch effort and…bingo

Immediately i wrote to the author, Sri. Narayanaswamy, who was kind enough to allow us permission to use his photographs. So we have Mogalrajapuram part 2 today.
The caves did throw up some interesting questions in the first post , but some more questions crop up now. Lets first see the photos.
Now, the door guardians ( yeah i love them, however, dilapidated they are )
are quite interesting. Do you notice the Horn like structure on the right guys crown. Hmm, well, thats stuff for an entirely new post.
Some more views of the delightful kudus.
oh! Super. My thanks also to Mr.Narayanaswamy.
Dhivakar
Great murthis. Too bad the door guardians are so worn. Thanks VJ.
In the kudus, who’s in the middle? Shiva or Vishnu? could you tell?
I have a collection ‘horns’ when you get to that.
Looks very much like Mandagapattu cave temple. Very similar poses of the dwarapalagars as well. Thanks for the photos.
Raghu
VJ, another similar sculptures like pallava’s. superb, as you have mentioned need to compare these with Pallava dwarapalakas.
Really a wonderful post. Thanks.
