IMG_1440.jpg

The two frontons, dedicated to Shiva; - To the east (Ramayana) is the giant Ravana, with multiple heads and arms, trying to shake the mount Kailasa - represented by a tiered pyramid similar to the mount Meru of the temple-mountains and set on a stylised forest background. At the summit sits Shiva with his wife Parvati crouching beside him in a delightfully abandoned pose. The different tiers are populated by animals that flee in terror, by figures with animal heads and by ascetics.

The description makes it much more interesting and helps understanding the relief. Wonder what the interesting term 'delightfully abandoned pose' really means....to me Parvati looks scared and holding onto Shiva tighter while looking at Ravana.
Would have loved to see the more famous carving of churning of ocean to extract the elixir of life

English translation likely? Such awe-inspiring carving must have brought out the poet inside :-)
