The Better India

@thebetterindia

Nestled in Rajsamand district, Molela seems a nondescript village to many. It’s often in the shadow of Udaipur, which lies about 15 kilometres away. ⁠
⁠
#DidYouKnow #IncredibleIndia #heritage #history

However, the village has a community of artisans that have garnered a name for themselves by developing a rare art style known as the Molela murtikala, where votive terracotta idols are made on flat surfaces like tiles and plaques.⁠

There is a local legend behind this unique craft that claims that there was a blind potter who dreamt of the deity Dharmaraj. In the dream, the deity asked him to dig for clay at a particular place and use it to make his image. ⁠

The 700+ year old Aghoreshwara temple in Ikkeri, Karnataka is a brilliant piece of architecture. We went after sunset, but still could capture the beauty & witness evening aarti.

There is a massive Nandi, a beautiful Ganapati and the garba griha with a Linga & 32 seated Durgas!

The sculpture in Aghoreshwara temple is spectacular. Right from Garba griha to smaller murtis and even to the extent of hair lines/beads over a Devis head, the carving is so beautiful, that you will wonder how they did it in stone centuries ago!

World class art!
#IncredibleIndia

Centuries ago, the main deity here was a massive Aghoreshwara, an avatar of Shiva with 32 arms.

Today only a Linga.
I asked the locals.. what happened?
They told me to walk towards the lawn.

I was so sad to see the remains there.. You can guess what happened in 17th century 😔

Aham Brahmasmi

@AhammBrahmaasmi

Sri Aurobindo on Bhagavad Gita, humanity's greatest asset: The human mind moves way forward, alters its viewpoint and enlarges its thought substance,and the effect of these changes is to render past systems of thinking obsolete or, when they are preserved, to extend,to modify 1/6

and subtly or visibly alter their value. The vitality of an ancient doctrine consists in the extent to which it naturally lends itself to such treatment; for that means that whatever may have been the limitations or the obsolescences of the form of its thought, the truth of 2/6

substance, the truth of living vision and experience on which its system was built is still sound and retains a permanent validity and significance. The Gita is a book that has worn extraordinarily well and it is almost as fresh and still in its real substance quite as new, 3/6

😍 Beautiful slab of Panchparameshti idols of #Jain Tirthankars found around 10-12 years back in Telsang village, Athni Taluk, Belgaum district, #Karnataka while digging to build a home on a land owned by a Muslim. There is just one Jain family residing there.

@ASIGoI

No one knows how old it is, request archaeologists & historians to visit and give more Information.

#Jains living nearby please visit this place & plan to build a small temple there. 🙏🏼

Update: The slab with Panchparameshti is a Torana of a temple that must've stood there then, it belongs to the Chalukya period. The local Jains along with Digambar mahasabha are going to build a temple there.

1/n We were trekking in Ko Valley unknown to most world & true nomadic land left side of Phobrang village. We were given special permission to explore and document this area. I must say this hidden jewel of Ladakh.
Images of Thogom Tso at 17355 feet.

@utladakhtourism @incredibleindia @kstanzinladakh @darterphoto 2/n Next a stiff climb to a pass known as Chota La, it wasn't Chota in any terms, it's high enough to take your breath away in every term. It stands at 18170 feet.

And of course, it was an amazing lunch spot too.
A clear day can sunburn you so easy.

#Ladakh #India #lakes #trek

3/n Chota La wasn't just a lunch spot but gives one of most amazing views of Yushup Tso (17850 feet) and you are in a different world.

If you see an areal view of this lake it is like a bow. There are stories attached to every lake in this region.

🕉Today is the Divine #AadiPooram - Goddess Andal’s Birth & Celebration of Her marriage to Lord Ranganathaswamy, Srirangam 🙏

Goddess Andal -An incarnation of Sri Bhu Devi, a divine girl child appeared under Tulasi plant in Vishnuchithar's (Periyazhwar’s) garden on this day🚩1

🕉 He was pleasantly surprised and picked up the divine child, his wife Vrajai was also overwhelmed with joy and they both named her "Kothai".
Periyazhwar brought her up in simple, godly surroundings natural to a pious, Vedic Brahmin family🚩2/12

🕉 The child prodigy thus fostered lovingly grew into a beautiful maiden & became an embodiment of love for Sri Krishna. Being a devotee of "Sri Vadabhatrasayee", presiding deity of Srivilliputhur Mandir, Vishnuchithar would weave a garland of flowers& tulasi leaves daily🚩3/12
