On Sunday I visited the Government Archaeology Museum here in Bangalore. They have old artifacts from India on display there. These included all kinds of things from old stone utensils to wood and stone carvings and even some old musical instruments. Some of the most interesting items were the old stone and wood carvings. Many of the carvings were of past rulers, but most of them were representations of various gods and saints. Some of the stone items were dated back as far as 1000 B.C. and many of them were actually discovered right here in the Bangalore area. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take any pictures of the items inside the building.
However, they had a pretty good sampling of the stone carvings that were on display outside the building and I did get several pictures of those. Here are a few pics of the outside stone carvings (remember you can click on each picture for a larger view):
