Yes, VJ. Re-visited this article and again read it to my heart’s content. Great, Great sculpture. It sure is a very old, one of the earliest Medieval Chola Sculpture belonging to the Vijayalaya or Aditya I reigns. Considering these sculptures were made between (I think 880-950 A.D.), meaning they are nearly 1100 years old, they sheer details, imagination of these sculptures as well as the work of the sculptors themselves makes them ageless and immortal. Don’t they?

Of course, you have been doing a yeoman service in spreading awareness of the great arts of India. I hope adequate maintenance of these ageless sculptures, especially at Pullamangai is being done for the sake of posterity.

Thanks for all your work VJ.

அருமை விஜெ, இந்த ஓவியங்களைப் பார்த்திருக்கேன், ஆனால் சிற்ப வடிவில் இப்போத் தான் பார்க்கிறேன், அருமையான சிற்பம் சிற்பியின் கற்பனைக்கு எல்லையே இல்லை.

Hi Cheenu,

Adhaka is different - he is actually one way an ofspring ( indirect of shiva/shakthi)and totally blind - and he was speared by shiva in a very interesting circumstance. lovely sculpture of this exists in Ellora - will post shortly with verse reference.
