1. Is there a moorthi of RRC in Vikram Sarabhai Museum?
2. I have read that Kanchi Mahaswami made a Golden Crown for RRC during his 1000th Coronation celebration and sent it to Tanjore.Some bdoy told that farmer Prime Minister Indra Gandhi attended the function and crowned the statue. Are they using it atleast on his birth day? Any news on that?
can you give the link to the online version - trying but not able to find.
Meantime, on the bronze in the sarabhai museum - the catalogue of south indian bronzes lists this as an unidentified chola King. Scholars have been debating this for long. Dr Kudavoil sir identifies this as that of RRC and has used it in his book cover. However, there is no clear evidence to this.
Am no expert in bronzes but to me, the styling of this bronze is slightly different from the Bronzes assigned to the same period ( around 1010 - 1014)
