The rest of the story... - a photo on Flickriver

The other day I left a few of you dazed and confused. Hopefully this may or may not clear up the whole purpose of the post. I initially posted the name of the first star Alshain with a little astronomy lesson.

The Three Footsteps Of Vishnu

The stars Alshain, Altair, and Tarazed in constellation Aquila represent the three footsteps of Vishnu. In Hindu legend Vishnu, in dwarf form, was allowed by the demon-king Bali to take as much land as he could in three paces. Transforming into a giant, Vishnu took his first two steps claiming heaven and earth. His third step landed on the back of Bali, banishing him to the underworld.

The above story is posted along side these steps carved into the rock as well.
