Draupadi Ratha (Mahabalipuram, India).

This is the smallest and simplest of the Pancha Rathas.  Shaped to resemble a hut with a thatched roof, it is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Durga, a warrior form of the supreme goddess Devi.  Two carved shalabhanjikas (fertility figures linked to Durga) are guarding the door.

This sculpture originates from a region in eastern India that is known for  its hundreds of ancient Hindu temples. Typically “seductive” female figures are carved into the facades in these temples, although most can not be identified as particular women or deities, and therefore some are identified as nature spirits, while others serve as consorts and companions to the gods. In this sculpture, the blossoming branch in the woman's hand and the tree trunk in the background suggest that she is a wood nymph.

Título: Puntal del templo (tunala) que representa el nacimiento de Buda

Siglo XIV - Siglo XVI

Artistas: Artista desconocido

Acerca de

Este puntal del templo nepalí bellamente tallado representa a la Reina Maya dando a luz a Siddhartha, el futuro Buda. Según la leyenda, se cree que la Reina quedó embarazada después de un sueño en el que vio a un elefante blanco entrar a su lado. Esto fue considerado como una profecía de un nacimiento auspicioso y 10 meses lunares después, la Reina dio a luz desde su lado derecho. De acuerdo con la convención iconográfica, la Reina Maya es representada como una diosa de los árboles (shalabhanjika), agarrando una rama floreciente que sobresale con su mano derecha. Su cuerpo, aunque representado en una pose estilizada, se balancea y es elegante, los pliegues de su prenda inferior agregan movimiento a su elegante figura. Siddhartha es representada como una figura diminuta que emerge de su lado derecho. Es representado como el Buda adulto con 'ushnisha' y rizos de concha de caracol aparentemente vestidos con túnicas budistas. En la esquina inferior, a la derecha de su figura, está el dios Indra, el Rey de los dioses. Se lo representa como una pequeña figura arrodillada a sus pies con las manos extendidas para recibir al recién nacido. Este puntal del templo es un maravilloso ejemplo de uno de los Ocho Grandes Eventos de la leyenda budista.

Sandstone figure of Shalabhanjika Yakshi, Sanchi, Central India (1st century AD)

“The Great Stupa at Sanchi is said to contain the relics of the Buddha himself. The form of the stupa was a development of the ancient practice of erecting a hemispherical mound over the remains of the dead. According to tradition the Buddha said that his remains should be interred in a stupa built at a crossroads and thus easily accessible to all.” (Source)
