How can I forget thee, O' the desecrated murti of Narasimha on the outskirts of Hampe!
Can any other image represent the wounded civilizational spirit and reflect the current state of Bharat so realistically, metaphorically & poignantly than this, for me?
This is is a grand representation of a seated Ugra Narasimha or “Angry Narasimha” at Vijayanagar. The sculpture is six and a half meters in height and was dedicated in 1528 A.D. during the reign of Krishnadeva Raya. The huge sculpture literally dwarfs its human worshippers.
I've read Eaton. Can
@AudreyTruschke
show me even ONE evidence, from his book for the Chola 'sack.'
Chola army did NOT aim to 'sack' the temple & there was NO sacking of the temple. It did not destroy the temple. It brought the murti safely from Pala kingdom.
What comparison!
Sebastian 'Seeman' Simon says, "When I was 5, I went to Sivaganga Collector's office holding aloft Communist flag, protesting with the farmers..."
