  i've never been there, but that elephant statue kind of represents my preconceptions of it all- arms outstretched- with a bit of a scowl and a hard shell to crack into- beauty on the outside- hit hard enough, it's probably only plaster and will crumble when hit hard enough.
your image is beautiful- I love the alabaster white against the blue sky- the undulating lines- the engravings- so much to take in and so well put together!
