Hi, I am looking for Somaskanda panel of the Vedagirisvara temple at Tirukkalukundram. If any of the member have visited and taken this picture, please share if there is no issue with sharing.
Thanks for the address of your blog on great Thirukkalikundram photos / yours & Arvind's. My atheist friends were embarrassed by being included in the puja, so I was distracted from the sculptre. Noticed I'd said I'd send you the Mandap photos, can't remember if I ever did? Let me know. The lengths Ron went to for these! N. Rao's holding him up.
those stairs were steep!
Do you happen to know which Devi temple these pilgrims were heading for, none spoke any English. kathie
Hi vj, Thanks a lot, I was thinking to go to your article as I remember that you wrote on evolution of this panel. Today I was going through Dr Gift Siromoney's page as he wrote many articles about Mahabalipuram and somehow I missed to include
One thing good about this group is that you get your requests fulfilled which is very helpful indeed.
Thanks, Sankar, I just looked it up and saw a photo of a fang-y Devi who looks like she could be Sri Hanuman mother. Thanks for exact directions, always like to know, tho think I can skip that koil. Sounds like a scary place. kathie
you did send me - the orukal mandabam photos. its a very interesting one. 3 kings from 3 different clans ratifying the first kings donation !!
viewers to note - the somaskandas and other sculptures in the post are found in the structural temple on top of the hill. this cave is the one on the bottom
