Why Blame Aurangzeb and Bhaktiyar Khilji, this is the question in my mind since afternoon.
Like all other Hoysala Devasthana, Bucheshwara Mandir at Koravangala, Hassan has a story to tell in every sculpture.
It's our Durgati, that there's nobody to notice it.
1
The Mandir I visited today dates back to 1173CE and is considered to be the flag-bearer of Hoysala architecture.
This Mandir is dedicated to Eshwara & Surya Bhagawan.
2
This picture is of Arjuna taking aim at the wooden fish above a pool of water.
Do notice the fish sculpture and the pierced arrow.
3
These sculptures tells the story of Bhakta Prahlada and Hiranyakashipu.
Img 1, Hiranyakashipu is angry with Prahlada for his devotion towards Sri Hari.
Img 2, Burning
Img 3, Trampling by Elephant and Pushing Down from a Mountain.
Img 4, Trying to Kill Prahlada by Snakes
4
Angry Hiranyakashipu asks where is your Hari & hit a pillar from where Narasimha Swamy comes out & kills him.
Do look at the miniature Narasimha within the Pillar in image 1.
Image 2 and 3 is Vadha of Hiranyakashipu.
5
The 1st image is Varaha Swamy and I need help in identifying 2, 3 and 4.
6
Kalinga Mardana and see how cow's are standing in attention while Krishna plays his flute..
Again, need somebody's help in identifying 1 and 4
7
I seriously need to learn about our Itihasa and Purana's..
I believe, the 3rd image is of Vamana avatara and I'm ashamed to say, I don't know about the other 3.
8
This is for the 1st time, I'm seeing this Cap or Helmet like carving over the head...(Image 1)
And can anybody please tell me the importance of Image 3 please....
9
1 is Khartikeya and 3 is Ganesha.
What story the 2nd picture tells?
10
Is picture 4 tells the story of Gajendra Moksha?
What is the story behind picture 1?
Do notice the intricate carvings on 2 and 3rd... Leaves you mesmerised.
11
What does the 1st image signify?
The 2nd image is the Shasana.
3 and 4 are taken outside Mandir.
12
As mentioned earlier, every stone got carved into a story.
It's our misfortune that Hindus themselves have sent their Bhagawans towards their end.
Why Blame Aurangzeb and Bhaktiyar Khilji..for our negligence.
It's our right to reclaim lost Mandirs, but also it is our duty
13
to protect those Mandirs which survived Mughals and Muslims & Christians barbarism.
