write in brief about the particular example of Krishna govardhana sculptures form the Hoysala period
Answers
Hinduism is a combination of secular and sacred beliefs, rituals, daily practices and traditions that has evolved over the course of over two thousand years and embodies complex symbolism combining the natural world with philosophy.
Hindu temples began as simple shrines housing a deity and by the time of the Hoysalas had evolved into well-articulated edifices in which worshippers sought transcendence of the daily world. Hoysala temples were not limited to any specifically organised tradition of Hinduism and encouraged pilgrims of different Hindu devotional movements. The Hoysalas usually dedicated their temples to Shiva or to Vishnu (two of the popular Hindu gods), but they occasionally built some temples dedicated to the Jain faith as well. Worshippers of Shiva are called Shaivas and worshippers of Vishnu are called Vaishnavas
Answer:
Hoysala sculptures show deep carving and undercutting, soft rhythms of the body contours, delicate and intricate designs. The Krishna sculpture is one of the best example of the delicate and intricate Hoysala carving. though krishna has been shown in a heroic form, his stance of standing and rythmic limbs brings softness in the whole composition.
