Summary
[edit]Description2nd century Chhargaon village Naga 2, Uttar Pradesh India.jpg |
English: This 7 feet 8 inches life size statue was found by villagers of Chhargaon in early 20th century. It was acquired by Pandit Radha Krishna in 1908 and donated to the Mathura Museum, with first paper on it with photographs published by J Ph Vogel in 1909 (Archaeological Survey of India Annual Report 1908–1909, pp. 159–163).
The village of Chhargaon is about 22 kilometers south of Mathura Museum, a part of a vast archaeological site of importance to pre-5th century Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism that surrounds Mathura. The Mathura region has been a rich source of exceptional early India artwork from Maurya Empire to the Kushan Empire period. The findings include numerous Naga statues (serpent iconography) and worship in the context of all three major Indian religions.
