Sivasailam Nandi-Sculpture Art

Sculpture Art!

Inspired by Sivasailam Nandi

 

Sivasailam Temple Nandi (Our kuladevatha temple)Structure of Nandhi:

The Linga (Sri Sivasailanathar) is a suyambu one. The Godess is Sri Paramakalyani.

In temple looks beautiful .Nandikeshvarar Statue looks like an Ox sitting by folding its tail.This temple is very famous for the Nandhi. The Nandhi here is the most beautiful one. The huge Nandhi in the temple is a marvel in the art of sculpture with its elegance and beauty of the intricate workmanship (Bull) is sculptured to the finest aspect, that one feels that the bull is raising from the base and is jumping towards the visitor.

 

The Nandhi is supposed to have been created many thousands years back but it looks perfect, beautiful and fresh as if was done with all the latest machinery just a few days back. I still can’t believe it.For more details Visit my Spritual blog

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.
