Narthamalai - An Enigma of Art
  • Dear Friends,
    You would have read a lot about Narthamalai and many of you would have
    visited this site as well. To those good friends there might be nothing new in
    my article however as I visited this site so its my duty to document it :) as
    many of us would not have visited this yet. Some salient features are given
    below:

    1. Ashta parivara shrine in Vesara style architecture
    2. Two cave temples, one from Pallava period and another from Pandya probably
    3. Man-lion gana, Spinx in Indian Art
    4. Paintings inside temple mandapa

    I hope you enjoy the article.

  • Long back once Vira rajendran sir asked us about the mention of Rajendra Chola's image in kolaramma temple, Kolar in Wiki article. He wanted us to check whether that info is true.

    Me and Saurabh went there yesterday and searched there. We took all the images but could not identify anything concrete. There are few images of men in worshiping posture and some images of fighters.

    You can expect a lovely post from dear saurabh soon on this subject.

    I expected some Ramayana there but nothing was available.

Howdy, Stranger!
