In the center of it all emerges the enormous, monstrous face which ever since the early 1920 has intrigued visitors, and which still leaves us with many questions. It most probably is a witcha well known feature in Balinese thought-for the ear ornaments are a woman’s. The head defi- nitely recalls the witch Rangda’s mask from Balinese theater. It has changed places with the kala-heads, well known from ancient Javanese monuments, where they are usually taken to be entrance protectors, looking fearful and clawing with pointed nails. Kala-heads, well known from ancient Javanese monuments, where they are usually taken to be entrance protectors, looking fearful and clawing with pointed nails. Kala-heads moreover function as celestial elements stressing the heavenly character of sanctuaries.Rather than the Goa Gajah witch herself, Balinese monster heads on the gate ways to the temple compounds resemble East Javanese kalas.

The name Elephant Cave”ť perhaps originated with early visitors, mistakenly interpreting the monster”™s head as an elephant, or from villagers with the same misunderstanding. There may also be a (much order) connection with gajah.A Balinese place name Lwa Gajah, “śElephant Water,”ť is in fact mentioned in the 1365 Nagarakertagama as the seat of high Buddhist official. Since it occurs immediately after Badahulu (nearby Bedulu)this Lwa Gajah, named for some reason unknown to us, may very well have later given its name to the cave.After his first visit to the site, Nieuwenkamp rightly had doubts about the head above the cave being an elephant”™s. Its face was badly damaged (hence the earlier reference to a “śmouth”ť). There was no sign of a trunk. Neither the ears nor the ear ornament suggested an elephant (or could the big eyes, of which only the right remains, give that idea!).For some time the question remained unanswered, but a clearing of the rock”™s surfac

Located in a short distance of former princedom Bedulu or Beda-Hulu, this unique ancient and mysterious site is fantastically carved into the rock-face which possibly date around 11th century.
The origins of the name Goa Gajah are uncertain. Some claim that the name comes from the world 'Lwa Gajah' recorded in ancient Javanese writings saying the cave was the home of an important Buddhist priest
(A reference to the title of Sen. Scumbag’s column in The Philadelphia Inquirer…).It looks like Little Ricky witnessed “The Mittster”’s speech on faith, religion and why he secretly wants to be a Baptist as well as a Mormon based on this Philadelphia Inquirer column of Ricky’s today, as ponderous and uninteresting of a literary byproduct as you can imagine.My limited tolerance for vapidity and egomania as well as current holiday shopping requirements do not permit me the time and opportunity to properly dissect this steaming heap of fecal matter, but I’ll focus on two cringingly obvious samples of Santorum’s screed that merit a response...Romney's speech was thoughtful and courageous. Unlike John F. Kennedy in 1960, he didn't cop out and say his faith does not matter.Now we all know that Santorum didn’t even bother to read the speech I posted about here, the one in which JFK said “I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair,” “I bel

And by the way, regarding Iran and the latest NIE, Little Ricky Santorum weighed in today on the pages of (where else) The Philadelphia Inquirer (here) with this somewhat obscure detail…We must view this information in light of the continued obsession of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with the return of the Twelfth Imam. That's the ninth-century Shiite leader who, according to his view of Shiite theology, will return to earth to lead them after an Armageddon in which Islam has conquered Christians and killed the Jews.Wow, do you think we’d better turn that “Eye Of Mordor” somewhere else in the Middle East then, former Senator “39 Percent Approval Rating” (here)?("Divest from Iran, just like I said in my Iran Freedom From Terra! Terra! and 9/11, 9/11 Act before I lost to Bob Casey, bad liberals, this is a recording, blah blah blah...")

Today we go on safari to experience the sights and sounds of Africa’s rich wildlife. The word “safari” comes from the Swahili and Arabic words for a trip or journey. Tourists from all over the world go to Africa to enjoy the excitement and wonder of safari explorations.Imagine climbing into an open sided four-wheel drive vehicle early in the morning.Your expert guide drives you through the entrance to Chobe National Park in Botswana. All around, you can see the huge pink sky at sunrise. The trees and thick grass move slightly in the wind. Then, suddenly you hear the movement of leaves nearby. A few meters away a huge elephant walks out of the green bushes. He is so close you can see his white ivory tusks and the deep lines in his gray skin. He seems to look right at you, then moves on to continue his search for more food. Welcome to Africa and the excitement of safari.There are many national parks and game reserves in Africa where you can go on safari. For example, many tourists
The Diasqua group has diversified out of the traditional low margin loose diamond trading to manufacturing jewellery to fit all budgets. Its products range from US$99 stainless steel embedded diamond jewellery, catering to the growing demand among young Indians, to the diamond-studded gold figurines that can fetch up to US$1 million catering to the whims of the super rich around the world.Mehta explains the rationale: "we have created diamond lifestyle products under the company of Diafuego; figurines made of real gold and diamonds and watches made with diamonds. We are focusing on these products since there are too many players in the loose diamond and the jewellery business and the growth rate of the business has declined; it used to be 20%".The DiaCouture range of products (figurines) from Diafuego, include soccer balls, animal figurines and statuettes, with prices ranging from US$6,000 to US$1 million, cater to wealthy and discerning clients.Commenting on the potential of the DiaCo

Oh dear. Did you manage to think of a pink elephant even though I told you not to? Now I've mentioned it twice it's very difficult for you not to imagine a pink elephant. But that's precisely what I want you to do - pause, deep breath now....do not think of a pink elephant.Trying not to do something is often easier than trying to do it. It's easier for you to think of a pink elephant if I tell you not to do it than if I tell you to do it. This is because in order not to think about it your brain has to suppress the thought. And stopping thoughts takes up more brain processing power than generating the thought in the first place.So, preventing yourself from thinking things is actually difficult, which as it happens is quite important in terms of the Internet. Everyone of us has mental "baggage" - stuff we carry around in our heads that we would rather not. It may be negative experiences of some kind, it might be difficult or stressful times at work, or it could be relationship troub

Elephants are a way of life in my house. Gothgrrl fell for elephants the first time she saw Dumbo. When she found out they were symbolic of her native India, it only reinforced her interest. Now she has dozens of stuffed elephants, dozens of tiny elephant knicknacks, elephant jewelry, and elephant art on her walls, including some she painted herself, tapestries, adn depictions of Ganesh. No matter what store we walk into, she seems to have a radar that detects elephants for sale. And no fair or circus comes to town without Gothgrrl buying an elephant ride. And you know what? They smell bad up close. Especially after giving rides to kids all day at the fair. But they still make me smile. Elephant Soccer Trunk show: elephant fashions.

Product Number: 156How much: Ł34.99Where can I buy one:Amazon.co.ukIf there’s been one flaw with iPod speakers so far it’s that although they’ve been visually pleasing they haven’t exactly been ‘cute’. Sure there’s the iDogs, iFish, iCat’s etc, but they’re still cold hard creatures made of plastic and metal. They’re about as likely to give you a loving hug as they are to change in to Daleks and exterminate you. Now this is better. Although as first glance seeming like your typical cuddly toy, iFlops comes with a secret. Concealed in a pouch on its back is a small speaker jack which you can plug in to your MP3 player in order to play your music. In case you’re wondering which nether region they’ve hid the battery pack in, well there isn’t one! iFlops runs off the power of your device, so there’s no need for batteries, or charging.Which is both good and bad. On the one hand it means far less phaffing around, but it also means the speakers in iFlops are of lim
