Summary edit
| Description |
English: Photo left, on a projecting offset of the temple wall, a surasundari arranges her robe with the help of an attendant. Photo right, a mythical creature called a vyala engages in combat with two smaller figures, male warriors who are attempting to tame it.
The vyala motif, always placed in a vertical indentation between projections of the wall, is ubiquitous in medieval Indian temples. Symbolically, it seems to represent a struggle to subdue the passions. The vyala's body is always a rampant lion. Its face takes several forms, the most usual of which is a horned lion, like the kirttimukha masks that frequently adorn the temple entrances. |
