10th Century Granite South India Tamil Nadu Vishnu Shri
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sculpture of Vishnu Shri Bhu, dating back to the 10th century in South India's Tamil Nadu region. Crafted from durable granite, this masterpiece is believed to have originated in the early Chola Dynasty and possibly hails from Pudokkatai. Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, is depicted here alongside his divine consorts Shri and Bhu. The intricate details of this sculpture are awe-inspiring – from the delicate facial expressions to the ornate jewelry adorning their bodies. Vishnu stands tall with a serene countenance while holding various symbolic objects that represent his divine powers. Shri, also known as Lakshmi, exudes grace and beauty as she stands beside Vishnu. She symbolizes wealth and prosperity, complementing her consort's role as preserver of the universe. On the other side stands Bhu or Bhudevi, representing Mother Earth herself. Her presence signifies fertility and sustenance for all living beings. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overstated; it offers a glimpse into ancient Indian culture and religious beliefs during an era marked by artistic excellence. This print captures not only its visual splendor but also preserves its cultural heritage for generations to come.
