This video is a detailed look at the art, culture and life centered around the Avani temple complex, in Kolar distict, Karnataka. It allows the viewer to get a sense of the architecture, the landscape surrounding the village, and the various structures that make up the temple complex, built by the great Western Ganga dynasty. It provides a context to understanding the interview with the Head Priest Sri Shrikant Dikshitar (https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&ar=1&video_id=T_X4AYJNavE) particularly regarding the mythological associations of the temple, as one can see how the various ‘devastanams’ are dedicated to various characters from the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
