How beautiful! Love the photo's detail. It's certainly not fabric, yet it drapes like cloth. n/t CaliforniaPeggy Dec 2022 #1

The Dilwara temples or Delvada temples are considered the most beautiful Jain pilgrimages sites in the world for the spectacular use of marble in its making...The temples were built between the 11th and 13th A.D. by the Chalukya Dynasty. These temples are in the style of ‘Maru-Gurjara’ architecture, famous for their use of very pure white marble and intricate marble carvings.
