Elephants!

As mentioned before elephants were a very noble animal in India. This is why they are found all over sacred temples and important places.

In this piece the craftsman has made a lion attack the elephant from behind. This illustrates nature and the circle of life but also probably has a much larger significance in Indian symbolism relative to the history and context of the temple!

In this piece of the wall art a larger elephant is kicking the baby, telling it to keep a move on. 

A close up of the lion. In this version it looks like the lion is being stopped (strangled) by the elephants trunk! But this may just be perspective.
