Oru sevi vazhi seidhi.... about Pavithra's doubt. When I was visiting the sun temple at konark, the guide said (ofcourse, guides solra ellathayum eduthukka mudiyadhudhan) that when the temple was built in 1300s AD by Narasinga Deva of Ganga dynasty, there was a war going on. All the soldiers were too much into the war that they didnt think aboutprocreation when they visited home between wars. Now, they were all into 2 things at that time: bhakti and valour. So Narasingha decided to build a temple to sun god, showing ALL the things you have to do from morning to night (the 24 spoke chakra). He added a lot of erotic sculptures to lure them into the family business! And talking about Orissa, I remember the Lingraj temple in Bhubaneshwar. The linga there is swayambu, and is called hariharalinga, which is half hari and half vishnu. Too bad it was built after PS time, if not Alwarkadiyan would have "loved" this place. Anybody knows more about this place? (I was there for only a day). Thilak
