Description

Animal mythique (gardien ?) de la porte d'or (Sun Dhoka) du Palais royal de Bhaktapur

La Porte d'or est un des chefs-d'oeuvre de l'art newar (le peuple newar constitue l'une des principales ethnies du Népal et de la vallée de Katmandou), elle est couronnée par une frise de dieux hindous et surmontée par des animaux mythiques.

Le palais a été construit sous le règne du roi Bhupatindra Malla (1696-1722) et terminé en 1754 durant le règne de son successeur Jaya Ranjit Malla, le dernier souverain de la dynastie Malla.

Une représentation de Garuda (l'animal monture de Vishnu) combattant les serpents, est située au-dessus de la déesse Taleju Bhawani qui est une des formes de Durga, (épithète de Parvati) aux quatre têtes et dix bras.

Taleju Bhawani est entourée de Ganga (sur un makara) et Jamuna (sur une tortue). Taleju Bhawani vient de l'Inde du sud (Tulajapur Karnataka), elle était la divinité tutélaire des rois Malla.
