the Mauli temple in Shiroda consists of several buildings all painted in the same warm pleasant combination of colors, earthy shades of orange and yellow well complemented with white. the building were not all built at the same time so the structural designs differ somewhat and details of each may be painted with additions colors but that main color combination orange, yellow and white makes it clear they all belong together even though some of the buildings are outside of what is normally considered to be the temple complex.
these photos are from one of the side buildings with the roof trim featuring a consecutive semicircular design forming points between each of the semicircles. the roof extends beyond the walls below so when the sun is shining it casts the design of the trim onto the walls behind. the sun is behind me and slightly to the left so the points of the shadows are not directly behind the points of the trim. the lower photo of the rectangular building shows three sides of the extended roof. one side with the sun casting shadows on the wall. a second side where the sun is less direct looking along the edge features the pointed ends of the semicircles while only a hint of shadow on the trim itself but not on the wall. this shadow forms due to the thickness of the trim. had the trim been much thicker the shadow would be more prominent and had the trim been very thin the shadow would be virtually invisible. on the third side we are viewing only the backside of the trim that extends beyond the wall. as this backside is under the roof it doesn't ever get any sun. in this photo the trim appears as a silhouette against the bright background of the building behind. so here we have one section of the trim casting a shadow maintaining it's clearly recognizable design, another section of the trim in silhouette looking remarkably similar to the shadows cast on the wall. and a third section where the only visible shadow of the trim is what it casts on itself .
aren't shadows fun!
happy hunting
