Hey guys, today I am going to show you this famous temple called ChennaKesava temple, but I am only going to focus on these statues on top, popularly known as Madhanikas. Why were they put here? Were they put here simply for beauty? Or do they have a deeper meaning? These are the questions we will decode in this video.
At first sight, your natural inclination is to admire the beauty of a Madanika herself.
Here is a carving that is simply impossible to ignore. She is beautiful in every aspect, her facial features, her eyes, her eyebrows are amazing. And look at her hair, how every thing looks perfect, she has a fashionable hairclip to make her hair twist and turn beautifully. .At the end, her hair is perfectly cut into a straight line. Her body is just breath takingly beautiful, adorned with a variety of ornaments.
Here is another spectacularly beautiful woman, her hairdo is quite different from the previous Madhanika. She looks majestic and is lifting one of her feet, and her assistant is doing something. What is happening here? She is actually holding a ring, a toe ring in her hand, and her assistant is putting another toe ring on to her toe. If you zoom in, you can see her individual toes and some of them already have rings.
There are a total of 42 Madhanikas in this temple, the word Madanika means ‘To get excited or aroused’ especially by beauty or love. And even after 900 years, visitors, both men and women are completely captivated by the beauty of these Madhanikas.
Here is a woman with a strange facial expression. What is happening here? She is singing, look below, you can see a bunch of drummers on the left and a man playing a flute on the right side. So, she is the lead singer, that is why her mouth is open, because she is singing. And not only do we see the upper row of teeth, the sculptor has even carved the inside of her mouth, this is just fantastic.
Here is another woman, who is also singing joyfully, her excitement is visible even after 900 years, and playing the cymbals in her hand at the same time. It looks like she is blushing and smiling at the same time, as though it is her first time performing.
So our natural inclination, is to admire the beauty of these Madhanikas, but if you manage to get past the beauty of these women, which is very hard to do, you will start observing other fascinating aspects, based on your skill set and education.
