Aadi perukku special
paDi kOlam a la bElUru
After learning from Mrs Rajamma about the inter-relationship between temples and paDi kOlams (Did you see my comment and the Borobodur picture?), I ventured upon this. I call this the bElUru paDi kOlam as this takes a leaf out of the Hoyasala temple architecture. The outer red square is the outer prAkAram. Instead of having another square structure for walls on which carvings can be made, the Hoyasala sculptors had this idea. They took squares and rotated them by a certain angle repeatedly to get more surface area on which you can carve more motifs. I rotated the squares by 22.5 degrees with a common centre. Why 22.5, because 22.5 X 4 = 90. Then I represented two circles inside to represent the God and his consort. Together, they form infinity signifying the infiniteness of the almighty. Before them I placed two octagons representing the place where the devotees can sing and dance. Your comments for improvement are most welcome. Regards! - mOhana
