Vriddachalam to Australia - Ardhanariswara’s murky details. There are some sculptures that imprint themselves into your memory - this androgyne was one such. From the moment i chanced on the picture of him/her. I could never take my eyes of the beauty of this sculpture. I had used it to show the refinement of the Ardhanari image post. Little did I realise then that the beauty had been robbed! Readers must have read the post on the Sivapuram Somaskanda. Kapoor provided two documents with the sculpture.

She came to life and I became metal. We have mostly seen stone sculptures till now, just taking a break to showcase another master creation - in bronze, not just any bronze but a famed chola bronze. A chance Advt in the local Tv channel led me to go to the Asian civilizations museum in Singapore last june (07). Btw Its located just off raffles MRT across the Singapore river.

Kapoor Files- Art of the Loot Part 15- clue from a 1916 book reveals. With the HR&CE and temple authorities continuing to be lax in their documentation, this expose shows again the importance of photo documenting our temple treasures. Little did I realise that this innocuous looking book held within itself a vital clue. South-indian images of gods and goddesses (1916). Available for free download here. Page 109 in the book ( 129 in the pdf) has this photograph of a Somaskanda. Let us compare the two.
