点评:While we all rave about the paintings at the Sistine Chapel, we forget the painted wonders in our own backyard. I am referring to the paintings on the ceiling of the Veerabhadra Temple at Lepakshi built by brothers Viranna and Virupana, Governors of King Achutaraya.
Showcasing Girija kalyanam, Arjuna's pennce, Draupati's Swayamvara, the story of Manuneedhi Chozhan's justice, these visual narratives are truly the hidden gem at this Temple.
The borders that surround these paintings are even more fascinating. The striped, checked and floral borders along with draped garments and jewellery portrayed in the paintings are not only testament to the skill and creativity of the artist of the Vijayanagara period but they also offer a valid source of historical documentation of how people would have lived at this period.
Veerabadra temple, Lepakshi is a 16th century temple which is a treasure trove of intricate frescos and carved pillars that narrate historical and mythological stories.
The sanctum houses Lord Veerabadra, Durga Mata, several Shiva Lingas, Ganesha and Vishnu.
A must visit when you are in the region.
翻译:当我们都对西斯廷教堂的绘画赞不绝口时,却忘记了自家后院的绘画奇观。我指的是位于勒帕克希的维拉巴德拉神庙(Veerabhadra Temple)的天花板上的绘画,它是由阿楚塔拉亚国王(King Achutaraya)的统治者维兰纳(Viranna)和维鲁帕纳(Virupana)兄弟建造的。
这些视觉叙事展现了吉里贾·卡利亚纳(Girija kalyanam)、阿周那(Arjuna)的忏悔、德拉帕蒂(Draupati)的斯瓦扬瓦拉(Swayamvara)以及玛努尼迪·乔赞(Manuneedhi Chozhan)的正义故事,堪称这座神庙中隐藏的瑰宝。
环绕这些绘画的边框更是引人入胜。画作中描绘的条纹、格子和花卉边框,以及垂坠的服饰和珠宝,不仅展现了维查耶纳伽拉(Vijayanagara)时期艺术家的精湛技艺和创造力,也为了解当时人们的生活方式提供了可靠的历史文献。
位于勒帕克什(Lepakshi)的维拉巴德拉神庙建于16世纪,拥有精美的壁画和雕刻的柱子,讲述着历史和神话故事。
神殿内供奉着维拉巴德拉神、难近母(Durga Mata)、多尊湿婆林伽、象头神(Ganesha)和毗湿奴(Vishnu)。
如果您到访该地区,这里是必游之地。
