This baby lion is very interesting. Unlike all the others, it does not lie on its back.
The trees are actually rooted in the wall.

Mmm... Gold.
Such cool roofs.
A clear indication of the indian influences.
Gods sitting on different animals/beasts.

The top of the temple.
You see dragins and lions of all forms and shapes in China.
Built from one piece of marble stone.
At the top of the temple.
