Vrishaba Kunjaram-Indian Sculpture Art



Mighty optical illusion- Indian Sculpture Art
Elephant-Bull ( Vrishaba Kunjaram )
Vrishabha means Bull and Kunjara means Elephant


This statue is to be found at Airavatesvara Temple, Dharasuram,in1050 CE built by Rajendra Chozan Tamilnadu, India.
 


The stone carving of Vrishabha Kunjara is an interesting unique piece of artwork with head of Bull and elephant in common from remarkable Cholas sculptures.
From the left, we can see the head of the Bull facing right whereas the elephant facing left also can be seen on the same head.
It’s both, the elephant’s head is easy to see but the oxen is not so easy, but if you look closely you’ll can see the bump on the elephant’s head is the oxen’s nose and the bottom lip and tusk is the oxen’s ear and horn, and finally the elephant’s trunk is the oxen’s famous hump.
Just it is my attempt to make a art of this amazing sculpture using this reference sketch.
