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.

Let me cup her sculpted cheeks.

Standing in queue for what's inside.

Whilst ignoring the beauty outside.

Jumping to see the depths of garbagraham.

And pulling me away from pillars

To lean over the rod to see another god inside.

But you don't stop to even turn neck at sculptures outside.

Let me not be interrupted,

I shall gently trace it's outline.

From it's head to it's dainty feet.

Let my hand wave away as it touches it's face.

Let me cup her cheeks as the artist meant it to.

Let me trace the sharpness left behind by her lips.

Let my finger linger on the bottom of her lips.

Let the rigidly present lines be marked by my hands.

Let me dissolve in the vague curves that is blemished by the graces of time.

Do you see that they do not discriminate?

As their art is freedom and time incarnate.

Sizes and shapes of all kinds.

Be it small breasts or wide waists.

Hourglass waist for a devatha here.

Plumpy round tummy for vinayagar there.

Tastefully done, not too sharp, not too soft, his nipples were.

Perfectly woven, her combination of jewels, set in stone are.

Thus, here and there, as my urge compells

Let my hands fall and my eyes stay.
