we need lot of imagination when dealing with coins.
I have composed this blog post for fun:
War scenes across many temples in India are depicted beautifully. Following is one such image from Hoysaleshwara temple of Halebeedu:
Here is
our war scene created with coins :P
In Shiva temple, we find
Nandi, the bull in front of the deity. The truth is that just as Lingam is the
symbol of God (Shiva), Nandi (bull) is the symbol of Jeeva (Individual soul). Therefore
just like the Nandi, men should turn away from Prakriti and direct all his
attention towards Eshwara only.
Hanuman & Garuda are
regarded as the greatest devotees of the lord Vishnu, we can see the sculptures
of them in most of the Vaishnava temples.
Shankha & sudarshana
chakra are one of the main attributes of Vishnu. The sound of the shankha
symbolises the sacred Om sound while according to the puranas, Sudarshana
Chakra is used for the ultimate destruction of an enemy.
Vishnu's images, either in
sitting or standing posture, show him holding the shankha usually in his left
upper hand, while Sudarshana chakra decorate his upper right hand.
Gajalakshmi,
that is Lakshmi with elephants, is one of the most significant Ashtalakshmi aspects
of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi.
I’ll
keep updating this blog post.
