    Shiva & Parvati Chariot Carving From South India - 18th Century

    A01258

    £695

    This hand carved teak chariot carving of Lord Shiva with a Vahana Nandi bull dates from the 18th century. This piece is mounted on a sturdy iron stand.

    Chariot panels originate mostly from Tamil Nadu in South India. These chariots, locally called ter or Ratha Yatra are decorated with carved teak sacred scenes and images of deities. These sculptures are the finest wooden sculptures found in Tamil Nadu.

    The chariots are enormous temples on wheels that are drawn through the streets by hundreds of devotees. Temples depicting Jagannath (an avatar of Vishnu) are a true splendor to behold and the name gave origin to the English word "Juggernaut." Which we commonly use today to describe very large trucks. An example of one of these ter can be seen in the final image. 

    Dimensions:

    26 x 20 x 36.5 (wxdxh cms)
