Lost Temples of India

Here's another reason for my wish to travel to southern India: this video The Lost Temples of India, which was presented on The Discovery Channel:



The above video is Part 1 of 6. Parts 2 through 6 are also available.

My criticism about this documentary is the dramatic ominous music background for the temples, which contrast with the reposeful music on the segments showing the Taj Mahal. What statement is that making? Still, there are awe-inspiring views of the temples at Thanjavur (Tanjore) and Madurai, both in Tamil Nadu.
