ornamental comparison odisha
A ornamental comparison with saora tribes and odisha sculptures
The traditional dress of a Saora woman is a waist cloth with gray borders which hardly reaches the knees. The skirt is about three feet in length and two feet in breadth. In winter she covers her upper part of the body with another piece of cloth tied at the back with a knot. The Saora woman uses limited ornaments for decoration of her person. a few necklaces of beads, round wooden plugs for ear lobe perforation, spiral rings of cheap metal in the fingers and toes, little rings in the wings of nose and metal anklets are worn by the woman.
#Pic2 : A 7 th century parvathi sculpture from #Parasurameshwara temple shown in the casual manner in which Parvati sits, with her elbow on Shiva's shoulder is particularly endearing. Paravathi's ornamental decoration matches with the #saora_tribes.#Pic3 : A 9th-century #Matysa_Varahi with similar earnings this Varahi temple exists at #Chaurasi about 14 km from #Konark, Orissa.The Varahi temple of Chaurasi has a unique idol of varahi enshrined in this temple is exquisitely beautiful and considered to be one of the masterpieces. Matsya Varahi has two arms and she is shown seated in Lalitasana on a pedestal she bears the face of a boar and body of a divine woman. Her Left hand holds a Kapala while her right hand holds a fish. She rests her right foot on her Vahana buffalo which is seated on the pedestal. Here Varahi is represented with a third eye on her forehead which is not clearly visible at present. Her hair is decorated in the form of spiral coils.The beauty of this image lies in her big belly to indicate her as holding the universe in her womb (Bhugarbha Paranesvari Jagaddhatri)
#Pic4 : A 11 th Century dancing women sculpture from #Raja_Rani_Temple at Bhubaneswar is one of the most attractive temples because of its architectural work. It is made from the wonderful red and gold sandstone, which is locally known as Rajarani and this is what gives the temple its name of 'Raja Rani'. The temple is believed to have been known originally as Indreswara. It is locally known as a "love temple" because of the erotic carvings of women and couples in the temple.

#கம்பராமாயணம் #அயோத்தியா_காண்டம் #கங்கை_காண்_படலம்
பரதன் கங்கைக் கரையை அடைதல் (1) கங்கையை சென்று சேர்ந்த சேனையின் மிகுதியும் சிறப்பும் (2,3,4,5 )
பூவிரி பொலன் கழல், பொரு இல் தானையான்,
காவிரி நாடு அன்ன கழனி நாடு ஒரீஇ,
தாவர சங்கமம் என்னும் தன்மைய
யாவையும் இரங்கிட, கங்கை எய்தினான். 1
எண்ண அருஞ் சுரும்பு தம் இனத்துக்கு அல்லது,
கண் அகன் பெரும் புனல் கங்கை எங்கணும்
அண்ணல் வெங் கரி மதத்து அருவி பாய்தலால்,
உண்ணவும், குடையவும், உரித்து அன்று ஆயதே. 2
அடிமிசைத் தூளி புக்கு, அடைந்த தேவர்தம்
முடி உறப் பரந்தது ஓர் முறைமை தேர்ந்திலெம்;
நெடிது உயிர்த்து உண்டவும், நீந்தி நின்றவும்,
பொடிமிசைப் புரண்டவும், புரவி ஈட்டமே. 3
பாலை ஏய் நிறத்தொடு, பண்டு தான் படர்
ஓலை ஏய் நெடுங் கடல், ஓடிற்று இல்லையால்;-
மாலை ஏய் நெடு முடி மன்னன் சேனை ஆம்
வேலையே மடுத்தது, அக் கங்கை வெள்ளமே. 4
கான் தலை நண்ணிய காளைபின் படர்
தோன்றலை, அவ் வழித் தொடர்ந்து சென்றன-
ஆன்றவர் உணர்த்திய அக்குரோணிகள்
மூன்று பத்து ஆயிரத்து இரட்டி முற்றுமே. 5

Bharata started on his journey to Citrakuta, the large army of Ayodhya naturally accompanied him. The people of Ayodhya, who heard the effort that Bharata has undertaken to bring Rama back were overjoyed and joined the retinue. That formed a very big crowd. With the movement of such a large body consisting of people, elephants, chariots, horses and infantry, dust naturally rose up so high in the air, that it could be seen from a very long distance.
In the unpolluted atmosphere of those days, dust rising up in the air was the first warning signal of an incursion. Who else but an enemy would march in such large numbers towards a particular territory? That put people on their alert always. In fact that was one of the ways in which people used nature to deduce or infer an oncoming event.
Bharata reached the banks of Ganges at Srngaverapura, where Guha was ruling.Guha observed Bharathas army and started telling his people thus.His army was like a sea.Bharatha had come in person. Is he having any wrong notion?Did he come to capture or kill them?SreeRama was not only his friend but also his master.Everyone should be alert on the banks of Ganges with 500 ships each carrying hundred yodhaas.If Bharatha did not have any bad intentions, They would help them in crossing the river to the other side.

குகனின் அறிமுகம் ( 1,2,3,4 ).இராமன் இருக்கச் சொல்ல, குகன் தன் கையுறைப் பொருளை அறிவித்தல் 14 குகனது அன்பை இராமன் பாராட்டுதல் 15
ஆய காலையின், ஆயிரம் அம்பிக்கு
நாயகன், போர்க் குகன் எனும் நாமத்தான்,
தூய கங்கைத் துறை விடும் தொன்மையான்,
காயும் வில்லினன், கல் திரள் தோளினான். 1
துடியன், நாயினன், தோற் செருப்பு ஆர்த்த பேர்-
அடியன், அல் செறிந்தன்ன நிறத்தினான்,
நெடிய தானை நெருங்கலின், நீர் முகில்
இடியினோடு எழுந்தாலன்ன ஈட்டினான். 2
கொம்பு துத்தரி கோடு அதிர் பேரிகை
பம்பை பம்பு படையினன், பல்லவத்து
அம்பன், அம்பிக்கு நாதன், அழி கவுள்
தும்பி ஈட்டம் புரை கிளை சுற்றத்தான். 3
காழம் இட்ட குறங்கினன், கங்கையின்
ஆழம் இட்ட நெடுமையினான், அரை
தாழ விட்ட செந் தோலன், தயங்குறச்
சூழ விட்ட தொடு புலி வாலினான். 4
'இருத்தி ஈண்டு' என்னலோடும் இருந்திலன்; எல்லை நீத்த
அருத்தியன், 'தேனும் மீனும் அமுதினுக்கு அமைவது ஆகத்
திருத்தினென் கொணர்ந்தேன்; என்கொல் திரு உளம்?' என்ன, வீரன்
விருத்த மாதவரை நோக்கி முறுவலன், விளம்பலுற்றான்: 14
அரிய, தாம் உவப்ப, உள்ளத்து அன்பினால் அமைந்த காதல்
தெரிதரக் கொணர்ந்த என்றால், அமிழ்தினும் சீர்த்த அன்றே?
பரிவினின் தழீஇய என்னின் பவித்திரம்; எம்மனோர்க்கும்
உரியன; இனிதின் நாமும் உண்டனெம் அன்றோ?' என்றான். 15

Guha was the king of Srngaverapura, what is presently known as Singraur, in the banks of Ganges. By profession he and his subjects were boatmen and hunters. From a description of the boats, we understand that these were not ordinary ferryboats.
Guha had immense admiration for Rama and wanted to see him. He, flanked by his friends and relatives, went to the hermitage of the sages where Rama was staying. Kamban paints a picture of pure devotion, love and rustic innocence when he narrates the first meeting between Guha and Rama.
‘sutram appuram nirkka’, As soon as they reached the hermitage, his followers stood in a corner outside it. ‘sudu kaNai vil thurandhu,’ Guha unfastened the arrow-case and bow he was carrying and kept them down reverently, outside the ashram. ‘vaaL ozhiththu,’ Similarly he left his sword outside. ‘attram neetha manathinan,’ he who had no room for falsehood in his mind, ‘anbinan’ he who was full of love, ‘nal thavap paLLi vaayilai naNNinaan’ reached the doorsteps of the hermitage and stood there.
