EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sita's marriage procession in a chariot, beautifully depicted in a granite carving at the Prasanna Chennakeshava Temple. Created by the Indian School in the 13th century, this intricate relief showcases the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of ancient India. The image transports us to Somnathpur, Karnataka, where this architectural marvel stands as a testament to Hoysala kings' patronage and devotion. Sri Channakeshara, intricately carved on the temple walls, presides over this grand spectacle as he blesses Sita on her auspicious wedding day. Sita's union with Rama, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu in Hinduism, is an iconic tale from the epic Ramayana. This narrative unfolds through meticulously crafted friezes that adorn every corner of this sacred space. The attention to detail is evident as we observe yalis guarding these carvings with their fierce yet majestic presence. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece, we are captivated by Sita herself – radiant and adorned in all her bridal glory. Her marriage procession comes alive before our eyes; musicians playing melodious tunes fill the air while devotees gather to witness this divine union. This photograph not only celebrates artistry but also serves as a reminder of our rich mythological heritage. It invites us to explore and appreciate ancient narratives that continue to shape our understanding of spirituality today. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this momentous scene without compromising its historical significance or commercializing it for profit. Through their lens, they have preserved a piece of history that can now be admired by art enthusiasts worldwide.
