Summary
[edit]DescriptionKalyansundara sculpture in Cave 1 of Elephanta Caves.jpg |
English: The sculpture depicts the wedding of Shiva and Parvati. This legend is called the Kalyanasundara in Hindu texts.Parvati is seen standing to Shiva's right, the customary place for a Hindu bride at the wedding. The carvings are substantially damaged, but the ruined remains of the sculpture have been significant to scholarly studies of Hindu literature. In many surviving versions of the Puranas, the wedding takes place in King Parvata's palace. However, in this Elephanta Cave panel, the narrative shows some earlier version.Here King Parvata standing behind Parvati gives away the bride to Shiva while Brahma is the priest in the grotto relief.Gods, goddesses and celestial apsaras are cheering witness to the wedding. Vishnu is witness to the marriage, standing tall behind the sitting Brahma on the right side of the panel. Just above the main images rishi (sages) and a few characters hanging from the ceiling are seen blessing the wedding.
The groom Shiva is shown calm and young, while Parvati is depicted as shy and emotional. Her head is tilted towards him and her eyelids joyfully lowered, while his hand (now broken) is holding hers. Their dress reflect the Hindu customs. He wears the sacred thread across his chest, she the customary jewelry. The other characters shown in the wedding carry items or are shown holding items that typically grace a Hindu wedding. Chandra (moon god), for example, holds a traditionally decorated water vessel (kalash). Brahma, the priest, is squatting on the floor to the right tending the yajna fire (agni mandapa).
मराठी: या शिल्पात शिव आणि पार्वतीच्या लग्नाचे चित्रण आहे. या दंतकथेला हिंदू ग्रंथांमध्ये कल्याणसुंदर असे म्हटले जाते. हिंदू प्रथेप्रमाणे लग्नाच्यावेळी पार्वती शिवाच्या उजवीकडे उभी असलेली दिसते.कोरीव कामांचे मोठ्या प्रमाणात नुकसान झाले आहे, परंतु शिल्पाचे उद्ध्वस्त अवशेष हिंदू साहित्याच्या अभ्यासपूर्ण अभ्यासासाठी महत्त्वपूर्ण आहेत. पुराणांच्या हयात असलेल्या अनेक आवृत्त्यांमध्ये, विवाह राजा पार्वताच्या राजवाड्यात होतो. तथापि, या एलिफंटा केव्ह पॅनेलमध्ये, कथा काही पूर्वीची आवृत्ती दर्शवते. येथे पार्वतीच्या मागे उभा असलेला राजा पार्वत वधूला शिवाला देतो तर ब्रह्मा पुजारी आहे. देवता, देवी आणि स्वर्गीय अप्सरा लग्नाला उपस्थिती देत आहेत. विष्णू लग्नाचा साक्षीदार आहे
आणि तो पटलाच्या उजव्या बाजूला बसलेल्या ब्रह्माच्या मागे उंच उभा आहे. मुख्य प्रतिमांच्या अगदी वरती ऋषी (ऋषी) आणि छताला लटकलेली काही पात्रे लग्नाला आशीर्वाद देताना दिसतात. वर शिव शांत आणि तरुण दाखवला आहे, तर पार्वती लाजाळू आणि भावनिक म्हणून दाखवली आहे. तिचे डोके त्याच्याकडे झुकलेले आहे आणि तिच्या पापण्या आनंदाने खाली केल्या आहेत, तर त्याचा हात (आता तुटलेला) तिला धरून आहे. त्यांचा पोशाख हिंदू चालीरीती दर्शवितो. तो त्याच्या छातीवर पवित्र धागा घालतो, ती परंपरागत दागिने परिधान केल्याचे दिसून येते. लग्नात दाखवलेली इतर पात्रे वस्तू घेऊन जातात किंवा सामान्यतः हिंदू लग्नाला शोभेल अशा वस्तू ठेवलेल्या दाखवल्या जातात. चंद्र (चंद्र देव), उदाहरणार्थ, पारंपारिकपणे सजवलेले पाण्याचे पात्र (कलश) धारण करतो. ब्रह्मा, पुजारी, उजवीकडे जमिनीवर बसून यज्ञ अग्नी (अग्नी मंडप) सांभाळत आहेत.![]()
