Yes, this was a container for colours mixed with water. And the mixture would be used for playing Holi!!

Thanks to those kings and rulers for providing us with these beautiful imageries.

You're absolutely right! It never ceases to amaze me that the Brihadeshwara Temple at Tanjore for example, despite being a behemoth, doesn't cast a shadow as the day wears on!
What amazing feats of engineering our ancients achieved!

@Anand Balaji: Wow!! What a good info.
I think they were all perfectionists...and took pride in it.

The Brihadeshwara Temple is a World Heritage Site.
Yeah, the engineers of yore were not just perfectionists, but they carried out their tasks with a sense of purpose, as though they were serving the divine directly through their work. Which is why everything they wrought was sheer poetry in stone!
