Description

Hazare Rama, or thousand avatars of Vishnu, is one of many Hindu temples in Vijayanagara Karnataka. The carvings show different scenes of the Hindu Epic Ramayana.

These bas reliefs, carved before the arrival of Islam in South Asia, also show a spectrum of musical instruments, dance mudras (pose), arts, dress and other cultural elements of Hindus in Vijayanagar Karnataka India. These are used to express the scenes from Ramayana.

Scènes du Ramayana sur les murs extérieurs du temple Hazara Rama

Le temple aux 1000 Rama(s) était la chapelle privée du souverain de Vijayanagar. Il est situé au coeur du palais royal.

L'enceinte extérieure est recouverte de bas-reliefs avec de nombreuses représentations de danseuses et musiciens mais également de guerriers et d'animaux mythiques.

Le sanctuaire principal est dédié à Vishnou (Rama est le 7ème avatar de Vishnou). Sur les murs extérieurs du sanctuaire, dans la cour du temple une série de bas-reliefs représentent le Ramayana avec un plus grand nombre de détails que sur les murs d'enceinte.
