SOUTH INDIAN TEMPLES--GOPURAM BLOG

Ancient and early medieval temples feature smaller gopuram, while in later temples they are a prominent feature of Hindu Dravidian style; in many cases the temple compound was expanded and new larger gopuram built along the new boundary. They are topped by the kalasam, a bulbous stone finial. They function as gateways through the walls that surround the temple complex. Another towering structure located towards the center of the temple is the Vimanam. Both of them are designed and constructed as per rules given in the texts of Vaastu shastra.

The gopuram's origins can be traced back to early structures of the Pallava kings, and relate to the central shikhara towers of North India. Between the twelfth and sixteenth century, during the Pandya, Nayaka and Vijayanagara era when Hindu temples increasingly became a hub of the urban life, these gateways became a dominant feature of a temple's outer appearance, eventually overshadowing the inner sanctuary which became obscured from view by the gopuram's colossal size and courtyards.[5] It also dominated the inner sanctum in amount of ornamentation. Often a shrine has more than one gopuram.[1] They also appear in architecture outside India, especially Khmer architecture, as at Angkor Wat.

Here are some of my pictures i had clicked and these structures were built far before..in BC period.

The most successful attempt was made by Andre Béteille, who in 1965 perceived the integrated power that Brahman village landlords in Tanjavur had derived from the conjunction of landownership and high ritual status.

"Is it social status or economic status" it's both and they mutually reinforce each other

1- An Invitation to Pazhayarai (Ennavale)

Prologue link: https://www.tumblr.com/harinishivaa/718575281936498688/ennavale?source=share

********

“Ilavarase, Idaya Piratti is calling for you,” the voice of one of the mahouts of Tanjavur, the capital of the Chozhas, reached Arulmozhi’s ears. The Prince was patting the trunk of Gajendra, one of the elephants he commonly rode on, pacifying the animal about his having to go. He could not disobey an order from his mother. 

“Mikka nandri,” he smiled at the mahout named Murugan, before taking his leave of all the elephants, cutting into the palace with shortcuts only he and his siblings knew well. 

He sped through the routes, curious, for his mother rarely called him when he was busy with the elephants, knowing that it was one of the few times he actually got to relax. Maybe some letter had come from his elder brother? Or had Sembiyan Patti had sent some new story on Parameshvara from Thirunallam? 

Maybe some news from Pazhayarai, the capital where the women usually lived, where even his elder sister Kundavai stayed?

He frowned mildly when he thought of Kundavai; not due to his elder sister, never, but due to the rumours that had started flying about his supposed marriage to a Princess amidst the sitrarasugal of the Chozha empire. He knew Periya Velar Mama very well, and was ever grateful to Mama for teaching him the art of warfare, having trained him and Aditha Anna personally. He also knew that Mama genuinely adored him, and maybe that is why he felt that Arumozhi had to marry his niece. 

Vanathi, was that not her name?

He ignored the shivers that wanted to creep up his body, deciding to keep his senses carefully controlled, and strolled into his father’s chambers, knowing well that his mother would be there at that time of the day. 

“Thandaiye! Thaaye!” 

He called out to them, touching their feet and hugging his mother, whose gentle caresses to his hair would end soon, for his sister had ordered him to go to Lanka and rally their troops in the already happening war against Raja Mahindan. 

“Vaa, Kanna,” Vanavan Madevi’s soothing voice relaxed the burning nerves that had awakened within Arulmozhi, the wish to serve his country very strong within him. His mother’s gentleness contrasted with the disturbance Arulmozhi had felt when he thought of marriage. 

“Amma, you sent for me? Naan thangalukku edhavadhu seyya venduma? (Is there anything I need to do for you, Amma?)” he asked, smiling when she patted his cheek smilingly, her bright brown eyes everything that he loved in the world, a gentle, motherly fire that only protected her children. 

“Kanna, a letter has come from Kundavai. We thought you would like to hear about what she has to say,” Vanavan Madevi smiled, seeing the way her son lit up at the thought of hearing about his elder sister. 

“How is Akka doing, Amma? Why has she not come to Tanjai yet? She has not even taken a step away from Pazhayarai for the past nine months. How is this fair?” Arulmozhi asked, talkative amidst his dear family, though silent and in control outside the circle of his parents and siblings. 

“Kanna, your Akka is busy with the Princesses she is training,” smiled Vanavan Madevi, a knowing smile entering her face, making Arulmozhi frown.

“What does that have to do with coming and visiting us, Amma?”

“Kanna, you do not know the ways of Chozha women yet. For either you or Aditha to choose a bride amidst the sitrarasugal, the Princesses need to be trained by the Ilaya Piratti, the Periya Piratti or the Idaya Piratti. As I am here with your father, Kundavai has taken over the training of the Princesses, and has written a lot of little stories she had experienced in their presence. Particularly close to Kundavai is the Kodumbalur Ilavarasi Vanathi, who Kundavai is constantly writing to me about,” Vanavan Madevi said, smiling and continuing to pursue the letter. “She also says that she has finally found her uyir thozhi, and that she has never enjoyed herself in Pazhayarai as much as she is enjoying herself now, singing and dancing all day with her friends.”

Was Akka implying that the presence of the Kodumbalur Princess had changed her perspective so much that she now enjoyed her time in Pazhayarai rather than in Tanjai, playing politics? How was that possible? How can one girl change his adamant elder sister’s mind so much?

“I know you are skeptical, and believe me, I too was at first, till Sembiyan Amma sent me a scroll about the same thing,” Vanavan Madevi said, making Arulmozhi startled. 

“Patti sent a similar message?”

He was surprised, for his Patti, being such a Shiva Bhakta, rarely spoke a lot, and whatever she spoke, it was filled with wisdom. 

“She did. Even she could not stop talking about the Kodumbalur Princess, stating her goodness, kindness and gentle behaviour with everyone. She even told me that she is training the Princess in thevarams, which, as you know, is a rare thing for Amma to do,” Vanavan said. “She also…”

Here his mother hesitated, and Arulmozhi raised his eyebrow at her, almost sure what she was going to say. 

“She as well as Kundavai believe that the Princess is a perfect match for you…”

“Amma, I do not want to discuss marriage now,” he responded strongly, knowing this would have definitely come up one way or another in the scrolls. “I have so much to accomplish, and so many things to achieve, why, I am going to Eezham soon. How can I think of marriage at such a time?”

“Kanna, I understand, but we do have to think about marriage anyway, right? Additionally, when Sembiyan Amma and Kundavai both get the same idea, you know they are going to push it, do you not?”

Arulmozhi nodded, sighing at the truth of his mother’s words. 

“I know Amma, but even then…”

“Kundavai has also asked you to come to Pazhayarai for some weeks before leaving for Eezham. She wants to send you off from there,” Vanavan Madevi said, looking at her son, whose face brightened up again at the thought of visiting his sister.

“If Akka wants me there, I will go there Amma, if you and Thandhai are okay with it.”

Vanavan Madevi nodded, hugging her son gently. Arulmozhi hugged his mother back, ecstatic that his elder sister had finally called him to spend time with her, a little annoyed at this agenda of marriage his grandmother and sister were pushing, and quietly curious about the Princess two people he adored and revered were praising with such terms.

'An announcer was declaring in a loud voice: "An enemy spy entered Tanjavur Fort by showing a false signet ring. He entered the fort and escaped after spying inside the palace. He escaped after fatally wounding two men. He is young and well built. Capable and cunning like a magician. His name is Vallavarayan Vandiya Devan. Anyone who protects him or gives him asylum will be subject to the death sentence. A thousand gold coins is the reward for anyone who finds him. This is by order of the Commander of Tanjavur, Lord Kalanthaka the Younger Lord Pazluvoor."'
