Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Trimurti is considered a masterpiece and the most important sculpture in the caves.It is carved in relief on the south wall of the cave facing the north entrance, along the north–south axis. It is also known as Sadashiva and Maheshmurti. The image, 6 m (20 ft) in height, depicts a three-headed Shiva, representing Panchamukha Shiva.
The three heads represent three essential aspects of Shiva: creation, protection, and destruction. As per another version, the three heads symbolize compassion and wisdom.The right half-face (west face) shows him holding a lotus bud, depicting the promise of life and creativity. This face is symbolism for Brahma, the creator or Uma or Vamadeva, the feminine side of Shiva and creator.The left half-face (east face) is that of a moustached young man. This is Shiva as the terrifying Aghora or Bhairava, the chaos creator and destroyer.This is also known as Rudra-Shiva, the Destroyer. The central face, benign and meditative Tatpurusha, resembles the preserver Vishnu. This is the Shiva form as the "master of positive and negative principles of existence and preserver of their harmony".The three-headed Shiva are his creator, preserver and destroyer aspects in Shaivism. They are equivalently symbolism for Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma, they being equivalent of the three aspects found in Shaivism.
मराठी: त्रिमूर्ती ही एक उत्कृष्ट नमुना आणि एलिफंटा लेण्यांमधील सर्वात महत्त्वाची शिल्पकला मानली जाते. ती गुहेच्या दक्षिण भिंतीवर उत्तर-दक्षिण अक्षाच्या बाजूने उत्तर प्रवेशद्वारावर कोरलेली आहे. याला सदाशिव आणि महेशमूर्ती असेही म्हणतात. प्रतिमा, 6 मीटर (20 फूट) उंचीवर, पंचमुख शिवाचे प्रतिनिधित्व करणारे तीन डोके असलेला शिव दर्शवितो.
तीन डोके शिवाच्या तीन आवश्यक पैलूंचे प्रतिनिधित्व करतात: निर्मिती, संरक्षण आणि विनाश. दुसर्‍या आवृत्तीनुसार, तीन डोके करुणा आणि शहाणपणाचे प्रतीक आहेत. उजवा अर्धा चेहरा (पश्चिम चेहरा) त्याला कमळाची कळी धरून दाखवते, जीवन आणि सर्जनशीलतेचे प्रतीक दर्शवते. हा चेहरा ब्रह्मा, निर्माता किंवा उमा किंवा वामदेवासाठी प्रतीक आहे, शिव आणि निर्मात्याची स्त्रीलिंगी बाजू आहे. डावा अर्धा चेहरा (पूर्व चेहरा) मिशी घातलेल्या तरुणाचा आहे. भयानक अघोरा किंवा भैरव म्हणून हा शिव आहे, अराजकता निर्माण करणारा आणि संहारक रूप दर्शविले आहे याला रुद्र-शिव, संहारक असेही म्हणतात. मध्यवर्ती चेहरा, सौम्य आणि ध्यानी तत्पुरुष, संरक्षक विष्णूसारखे आहे. हे "अस्तित्वाच्या सकारात्मक आणि नकारात्मक तत्त्वांचे स्वामी आणि त्यांच्या सामंजस्याचे रक्षणकर्ता" म्हणून हे शिव स्वरूप आहे. त्रिमुखी शिव हे शैव धर्मातील त्यांचे निर्माता, संरक्षक आणि संहारक पैलू आहेत. ते शिव, विष्णू आणि ब्रह्मा यांचे समान प्रतीक आहेत, ते शैव धर्मातील तीन पैलूंच्या समतुल्य आहेत.
