உண்மையில் அற்புதமானதொரு ஒப்பீடு. அழகான படைப்புக்களின் பெருமையினை மெருகூட்டச் செய்வது இவ்வாறான ஒப்பீடுகள்தான். படங்கள் மிகமிகச் சிறப்பாக இருக்கின்றது. வாழ்த்துக்கள்

dear Balachandran

There are very few inscribed bronzes. The rest can be only dated stylistically and mostly can be accurate to a generic period - like early 10th C. Drilling down to kings will only be a highly informed guess at most

Dear Vj,
Comparision of Chola bronze and Pallava stone shrine is highly appreciative. In this regard, you compare among cholas kings.

இரண்டு அரசுகளின் கலைதிறனை ஒப்பிட்டு அழகாக விளக்கம் தந்துள்ளீர்கள். என்னுடைய மறுமொழி உங்களை ஊக்கம் செய்வதற்காக மட்டும் எழுதப்பட்டது அல்ல. உங்கள் பணியை போற்றுவதற்காகவும் எழுதப்படுகிறது.

dear sekhar

thanks for the nice words. the harido is unique yet it is a jata - bandha only. the ornamentation are standard Shiva adonrments - the datura flower on the left, the crescent moon on the right ( stylistically stuck into the hair) and the snake. the splendid way in which the back of the hair dress is curled in three loops is stunning as well

will feature the Darasuram Bairavar soon.

It was a splendid. Just a query, what is the significance of the snake(s) in the hairdo of the bronze? was it special as a ornament of shiva (we all know that shiva adorned himself with snakes) or does it have anything to do with a snake- shape clip etc to be used in turban.

also if you could post something about the Bhairava image from Darasuram temple as to how it has Nepalese influence if any.
