May I share the screen now? Sure, sure, thanks.
The key. I am going to have to rush through a lot because I have a lot on my plate.
I'm starting off with a sculptural panel, a loose sculptural panel that was found that somewhere because it is, it does fit in with the,
you know, the circulation of thought processes that I'm thinking about is sure Baraka is an older, established board.
But the problem is, after the initial early period in the mediaeval period,
we do not have physical proof that it continued as a prosperous port and that was there was enough commercial activity in it.
So in that sense, I'm looking at this particular vendor. The slide show.
OK, so this is the panel I'm talking about, it is interesting because it is unusual as far as I mean,
there is the central figure of a major issue that Lakshmi.
But we know the first lap instead of what you see in the larger luxury at lot that
are for elephants and do a one of the ones that are illustrating that on a slab.
But the lower elephants have been replaced by a triad in which the nature is one.
And I'm sure you in the next better. The state of the nation is the first one.
And then Kabera is the second one, and that is a goddess is an animal mind.
So, OK, so this is the this is a detailed view you have going issue here very clearly, but Kabera,
as he did on the Mideast and the this is unidentifiable really because she is an animal mount for ended,
but we cannot identify what is in that abundance.
Now this this paper was like a gift for me for this, but my own because this is a paper by Michael Meister.
And it talks about the transmission of architectural knowledge, and he's stressing this trade from ocean.
In the this is the image that is in the sanctum of the people region, that three individual families.
The individual's guide to Australia is, again, Kabera, Malaysia, Madeira, Indonesia.
And there's also another temple at B, but not the people Mother Temple, but another nearby ancillary temple, which also has Asia, Durga and Quetta.
And there is a third thing which again, I'm sure here it goes out of this map.
It is an inscription from South Korea, which is between Jimbaran and it has.
The inscription says it refers to all the tree made the face of mahogany,
but the shower blessings on you made those hands of Chandrika shower prosperity
on you and made the principal actually done by name confer affluence on you.
Now that's another thing about the inscription is that it does that it refers to the mandible that was commissioned.
This inscription obviously belonged to a temple structure,
and this this tells you that it was part of the mandible that was commissioned by a committee of 11 bankers,
Christians and Christians, according to John Nagl.
It is a little note in her book on Guarneri inscriptions since those who come by large scale commerce in banking.
So therefore, it tells me that the triad was worshipped by bankers.
So regardless of the original location or anything else,
we can conclude we can assume that this testifies to the continued economic importance of
Savara as a trading done because they were Christians who had gifted a banner like this.
What is and this is in meisters words,
that visual evidence for the transmission of cultural knowledge from a part of Western Union at the 7th century, not just done to another.
And he notes that the complexity of it was the guild interactions and movement
of master craftsmen that built the temple building and not necessarily patrons.
And so guests and bankers and I this is my take on that.
The sculpture and so far takes the transmission one step further because it is now in my Rashtra,
so it modifies and assimilated the regional symbol of prosperity.
They'll the better for us, but it is the hijab issue.
The Lakshmi symbol of prosperity displayed as a magnificent sculpture, greeting the entity alone is a good letter.
So this is the again I'm going to be doing here.
The two elephant illustrating elephants and Lakshmi remain, but it is that it is replaced by this triad, which is at the bottom.
And Mr. Haskell referred to Palimpsest, but I'm making it the same blessing because my maiden name is Commodus.
You worry if I become common daily after marriage, you know, one that this is what it is,
is that they are symbolising that they're now taking up this identity.
Yet the road to their original origins remains.
So then I go to the this was just one stray sculpture I want to talk about.
How we can see that changing socio religious environment, which is automatically reflected and I have I'm ambitious,
I've taken three and probably able to do one or two of those shows, and I'm going to I'll send that out.
By its nature, is a concrete manifestation of thought thought through the abstract.
But objects of art are like documentaries of I've thought it has departed and
then why is God just because knowledge in mediaeval times I'm talking about no,
not interested in 60 finished and then 60.
In written form was accessible only to literate people and who knew Sanskrit and therefore non-verbal mass communication was essential,
and in a way, this temple was done.
The temple doors into related books, but the script was of images instead of Brummie or do not agree.
So no, not what I can see reflected is the very strict hierarchy amongst gods as well as amongst the genders.
And I can see the distinct indication of it in the valleys of debris, which is this issue.
As well as the placement, and you will see what I mean when you come to, we come to that.
It also automatically seems to select regional blues and local history.
So this is not this is the West Foot and this is the same term and this is the depot and this is the south view of the same.
Now I'm showing only one example. On the one hand, I have there is a disparity.
On the other hand, I wish you remember the opposition party is on the mend the era.
Main projection on the east side and regional gunmen beyond the grew up, he is only that I get did drop place on the Monday.
Not only that, see this dialogue on had to be executed into on sculpture and the stone is not something you can erase if you make a mistake.
Initially, I believed that they would construct this and you notice in all of the sculptures you have these at the top.
There are more layers. It's like a ruler almost, and you have these diamonds and these are the tailors.
I do not have time to do that, but this would be the highest style.
You and then that highest alert category. If it showed that there wasn't the shuttle which was about an adult and I should
tell you it wasn't built similarly with no at the level we let them know about.
Don't know what they'll end at the and you can see here gation.
This is measured from the location at the top of the head to the toes.
So hers is pretty is in M. The shuttle launch is located on the prime, but that is the main projection on the east side.
As we should know, this is below his glowing against indications. The.
Comes only half of that name and half in level of the half of the diamond.
Therefore, he is let them know that the Mahdi militia movement on the Shia Temple is a state just below parity.
Now this is another example of the little widow is a human.
This particular guru is a human that they have addressed, but notice his skin.
Shantha goes below the diamond because his human is assured that while attributing the highest,
I mean giving him the best or highest placement outside of the central role.
But he's kind of kept in his place by being portrayed in the hushed Italian and an Arab is or only at this time, which is the lowest.
I mean, if it was a magazine or a paper, then this would be the front page, this would be the last page.
And this is the example how the local concepts are reflected.
This is a sheet of paper which is facing the NRA registration, facing the sanctum,
and you'll find that the thing that should be offered has the nation and Sydney.
It has a Shiva and Parvati, but God think it is the norm because in Maharashtra,
Kartika is considered a gun, which is considered a bachelor, whereas in the Southeast two was.
So this is an example of a reflection or accepting what is considered the right thing.
Another thing is contrary to the popular misconception,
the was very much reward still in this region during the 11th and 12th centuries, and his mother ship was also very violent.
This is the bottom line from Savara, but you can see that it is carved on the slab flat slab, that means it is would have been placed.
It was planned to have been placed in a large shiva temple, perhaps because Cousins has referred to they had discovered a very large plinth.
But the temple was never completed and there were many sculptures lying around.
So this is a rama which was meant to be installed and the large scale that ensued, that was important and even better.
Is this sculpture of Rama that was taken from I mean, it was found in this initially good dharma and then it was taken out.
And what is remarkable is that not only that, it is in the round, it is in the round.
That means you can see the Francis, the three faces here,
but here you can very clearly see the face and the back and the lower portion of that mid the backside of them.
So this was meant to be so gang-related, which means that this was probably.
Men, no, not the John Belushi mind, my is portrayed, so I'm in in addition to that,
but nothing justifies this, I believe, because brand lies for data on all the levels.
This is a nation you have reminds it through.
Then you have the Janga, you have a grandmother and the entourage that you have about a mom inside them and the boy you have grandma.
And there are some more images of grandma. Muscle grandma was very much a river and worshipped, and therefore it is reflected in the temple.
And also, this is the point I was making that how things are progressing.
In this end, this is a concept of said that Nashua.
Even the partial foot soldier they have, this is the concept,
so this is supposed to have been the penalty that would have been that's harmless the lingo.
But now it has the in-between stage where you have the locus of the five winners through five Mukhlas and the Three Stooges.
This is the in-between them. So good.
And then they regard it as a life and death as well as it.
Ramesh would have given the SETUPCON that Laura, what have this said, that she would image their posture.
But but here, although it is the same similar concepts that in showbiz and dumb dogs, though, she earned those inside the sanctum.
And the actor is coming through the emanating through there was on the three hundreds.
So this is again one step further taking architecture, using architecture to display the concept.
So I go to the next, which is a bullish word,
and this is again the same go on diesel looked on that would see they're the ones who build this and then I'm on a go.
Perhaps we'll have enough time only to show you the garage door panel and if permits remain one of the episodes and this.
Just to say that this is a this is late 11th 12th century temple, because this looks like, I mean,
these are really built by from India, some impish wedding, but these the insight is definitely August.
And what is remarkable is that we will not do who is supposed to hold it in the hope that that his stories, which are original,
was written by Shashi and that was in Mandarin, and they were then mentions in the seventh century writing of them.
Then that means he was there and you are living for why he should be here.
I do not know. Most of us know the story of Laurel, given what happened on the set.
The one that King Wood thought is then is probably to say it discreetly.
One of his screens was Indians sentiments, said the Dalai Lama.
During Gelateria, that means do not splashed water on me.
Unfortunately, the king thought it was maybe more the cousin, the whole thing.
Then it became a big joke and everybody laughed, and the king was very humiliated and then you died and you wouldn't do anything so.
So he went, not India, and said, Well, mom offered to teach in Sanskrit.
And so I decided for years and.
Cheryl Roman said I can do it in six months and we're not there, as his name indicates, Gordon.
Was the win. And he says if you can do that, I will give up all the three languages.
Sounds good. And this question and the other one.
So when I gave up all the languages, he went to win there and then he learnt by shouting language, and that was not one of his rallies.
So he could. And then, yes, I think I'd be able to do this.
Some of the the story, I'm recounting the story because everybody may not know so, and that is irrelevant.
So this said the one thing and were not present to me, wrote all these stories down,
and he sent with great expectations in the book To the King and the King.
Got out of hand, rejected it. And he was going to do is crestfallen.
What to do. He did not know.
And the king was supposed to have fallen ill and his wife just told him that he was ill because he was eating fresh with surplus meat,
so the cooks were called and they led to the of these the hunters and they
said we cannot help it because the animals are not at all eating and drinking.
They have forgotten all that. And this is a whole meme of the final, which shows a not in the centre flanked by animals on both sides.
And these are the animals on the two sides.
I mean, they're just listening to him in rapt attention, monkeys and birds and animals.
So that is the story of United. That is something unusual.
I do not know how it got there or what was the reason why it is there.
But I'm going to show you only one more panel as much as I can.
Is it on my own again? The my independence are very common everywhere, but this is something that tells you.
I mean, one of the episodes in the Ramayana that puzzles me also all the time was it?
Why did Rama was able to shut them? Kill Charlie surreptitiously.
Why did you not, you know, challenge him and kill him?
So this required, I think, according to the precept, this required an explanation which is given in this episode,
a given in this particular depiction and that is preceded by the commander.
And then it was just found because this is a destroyed look up and abandoned when the commanders of is not his,
it is one that you can very clearly see him showing the way because he is supposed to have told the world through
rational command and and look for so beautiful because he would be able to find them hidden in plain Caesar.
And so when they go in there and he also owns them, warns them that he was very suspicious.
He will not hide unless he believes in you. So you, you should swear on the weapon.
So Rama is holding a spoon. Now this is RAM Lakshman.
This is still true. All three are part of the ritual. Therefore, they are all folded.
And these are the four amongst different associates that were there with story
that I find is very interesting that to be able to explain why you did it,
because he had an alternative. And this is another enigmatic feature of the temple, which is a gigantic banners, but does skip those.
And I'll go to Nagaland because I definitely want you to see the one feature apart from the others.
I want to show you the hearty saying now on the because I know this if you see it has porches and the porches have under the
steps that lead to the porches have on either side a wall with a complete wall with depictions that I'm going to show you.
So three four just means six such banners and they are all like this.
That means there is a phalanx of elements led by a woman on horseback.
This also same. These are all different banners, a woman on horseback leading a phalanx of elephants.
These are what elephants. These are not comparison. Dimple elephants, we can see them killing.
And she's the lady who is leading.
And this, to me, reflects the change in the hierarchy of butnot, which is 60 to the other where this is synchronised.
I mean, the lady is something going on outside the temple may not be this period, but the walls have probably been added by her heirs.
And that's my assumption, because there are inscriptions from a group that read Doctor Who she has read,
and that one is by cited by Golladay and had to say and it would be the officer in charge of the elephant.
And 20 years later, this is the regulatory. Here it is again, Gloria Borger.
She said it's probably the same lady. But now, she said, added that she has risen under the singular.
So this is a change in the climate where they are.
There was because they were warriors of a very aggressive, unlike the shield that you have to, you have to compete.
Yeah, OK. And I just wanted to show you one thing that that hierarchy garden in this book in this article, no gender.
No. One. And this also same size. So and all words together.
So thank you.
