The online meeting started with the conversation of the Hindu iconography during the Cholas tradition.
The absolute first picture when the staff envisioned it was plainly molding out to be one of the God’s figure. At first I was confounded however later on watching it appropriately I could see Vishnu there. The iconography like the corn-shell, lotus, the gada fairly matches to ruler Vishnu’s clothing. Likewise the hands and the hover around it either perhaps the sudharshan chakra that he hangs on his fingertips or may be the fire of fire. Additionally the model stances master Vishnu in the middle that infers that Vishnu is available all over the place, he is the focal point of the Universe.
The following two pictures we saw were of Lord Shiva in his Tandav position. Here likewise there was one thing normal, the flares of fire around the symbol. The contrast between the two casing I watched was , the one on the privilege is formed and quiet to see while on the left, it seems, by all accounts, to be substantially more furious that that on the right. Additionally while watching it profoundly you can likewise observe the third eye of Shiva cut.
Also we discussed about mata Parvati and her Kali avatar. She poses on both the frames on a flipped lotus below that denotes her existence.
This was very interesting class as it was majorly on ancient deities. I have always been fascinated with these historic statues and sculptures. Initially I was bit confused with Shiva’s and natraja’s features but now I have gained a bit clear knowledge about this topic.
