friends, the temples i saw in the net, from burma,thailand,combodia, laos,yunan(china), vietnam ,indonesia...etc were really breath taking. actually there may be more temples in these region than even in india. the temples are in the south indian pattern and orissa style. but central indian and assam style temples are also seen. actually the temples have these pattern. 1. dravidian style 2. odissa style 3. north indian style 4. assam style 5. srilankan style (mostly buddhist)
the hindu temples are increasingly paid attention and are being renovated or preserved. there are predominantly siva temples vishnu temples follows next and ganesh,brahma, amman temples are also seen.
all these temples were constructed between 5th century to 14th century.once hinduism flourished here. now it is almost nonexistent. only malaysia and ceylon has hindus besides bali island.
i made a low budget virtual tour of these places through net for the past week end.
I remember in 2005 or 2006, we all planned for a trip to Angor wat...and then it come down to Ajantha/Ellora and finally even local trips became difficult :)
