The carvings are so beautiful that you loose the track of time if you just analyse them little bit in depth. The assence of old civilization is carved on the temple walls and on the pillars. You get to learn so many new things from these pillars about civilization and history.
Monsoon season seems to be the best considering the greenery one can see..
