Chidambaram

Chidambaram (Cidambaram) is an important Chola temple site in Tamil Nadu, southern India. Most of the temples at Chidambaram were built in the 12th and 13th centuries CE. The site is dominated by the huge gateway tower of the Nataraja temple but Chidambaram also boasts the first Devi or Amman shrine, the first Surya shrine with the distinctive stone chariot wheels which would adorn many subsequent temples, and the first large Siva Ganga tank. In this respect Chidambaram is something of a transitional site, linking elements of the old and new styles of Indian temple architecture.

The name Chidambaram, one of several from antiquity, derives from the Tamil Cirrambalam, meaning 'little hall'. The site was chosen because according to mythology it was the precise spot where the Hindu god Shiva had once danced in a grove of tillai trees. The dance was, in fact, a competition between Shiva and Parvati and naturally the great Shiva won. The story became a popular subject in Hindu art over the centuries.

The site is enclosed within four perimeter walls and covers a rectangular area of 55 acres. Within the compound are shrines, halls, temples, ornamental gateways, and a large ritual bathing pool, known as a Siva Ganga tank, which is surrounded by cloisters. Inscriptions claim the site was built by various Pandya kings and local rulers but none are contemporary with the dates the buildings were actually first constructed. The walls and east gopura (gateway) may be ascribed with greater certainty, and were probably built by Kulottunga III, who reigned from 1178 to 1218 CE.

The Nataraja temple was constructed between c. 1175 and c. 1200 CE. The actual temple shrine is relatively modest as by now in Indian architecture the gopuras had become the most important structures, at least in terms of aesthetics. The twin sacred chamber was, however, adorned with copper sheets covered in gold by successive Chola kings. The shrine is preceded by a dance hall and large entrance porch with columns (mandapa).

The massive granite and brick east gopura dominates the site but there are three other gopuras on the north, south and west sides (the earliest). The corbelled roofs diminish as the structures rise and are finally topped with the usual barrel-vaulted roof (sala), the eastern gopura also having a row of 13 decorative finials. The east gopura has a proper interior floor at each of its nine levels and there is an interior staircase which climbs to the very top of the building. All four gopuras have false windows on their facades, typical for this kind of structure, and pairs of pilaster columns set at regular intervals. The second floor of each gopura also has a passageway which worshippers ritually walked around. The entrance archways all have coffered ceilings decorated with relief panels.

Of particular note at Chidambaram are the thousands of sculptures adorning its buildings. In particular there are many statues of women in a wide variety of dance postures. Many statues are accompanied by quotations from Hindu literature which provide an invaluable reference for scholars. There are also figures of the four dvarapalas (guardian demons), the dikpalas (cardinal directions), many figures of Shiva performing heroic deeds, various other deities such as Vishnu, Devi, Sarasvati, and, unusually in southern architecture, river goddesses.

Finally, Chidambaram is also famous for its 17th century CE Nayaka ceiling paintings which decorate the Shivakamasundari shrine of the Nataraja Temple. More than 40 panels depict scenes from the life of the saint Manikkavachakar, a devotee of Shiva.

Hi, i was wondering If you can talk about 12th synastry 😁

12th synastry is complex asf

MASTERLIST

The reason why everybody gets stuck in 12th synastry is because It can play out in so many different ways. But something is always present: it's foggy, you never know what truly is that you are looking at. So that can easily turn out to curiosity and fascination towards someone and what the hell they are thinking or why tha fuck they are acting that way? Why are they like that? Why they act a certain way and you feel they are feeling another?

When it comes to 12th every details and aspect can change everything you and the other person feels. So its hard to apply or resume to just a meaning. We have to enlight that:

A person with 12th placements in their birth chart can have more attraction towards 12th synastry. They can unconsciously seek this interactions. That's specially true when personal birth planets are in 12th or the high 12th planets like uranus and neptune.

ASC in late degrees makes your 12th house mostly in the sign of your ASC. So It speaks about this part of you that is hidden on such a seen point as the ASC. So what you project unconsciously. A personal planet of someone touching this point can certainly speak about an area that you two have lots in common. But 12th can't touch it.

No, you don't know what they are thinking. It is probably the opposite mostly of the times.

"they think i'm weird, i can see that in their eyes" - probably you think they are weird, even If you like this. Its a projection.

12th moon aspects can create a mirror effect. Like you see your shadow side in that person, so you project in them your darkness. You can see their flaws but you know deep down that what bothers you so much in this is that you have the same flaws and you don't know How to handle this in yourself. At times you can act a certain way around them that is the opposite you wanted to. And you don't understand why. Its the mirror effect. You can't Just act the way you feel. And you wonder if they do the same.

Are they feeling the same?

You have to step up your feelings and thoughts about the situation and coldly watching it's the only way to know something tangible about this connection. Don't lose yourself. The wonder is part of this energy.

So, ask is open to specific 12th synastry aspects, and questions. I will do a series of posts about this dreamy and complex house in synastry.

12TH SYNASTRY CULTURE 🪐

It's like, the house person is running away from the planet person, because it's just too much intensity for her to handle.

The 12th house is the occult, the part of the mind and soul that you want so badly to hide. It's the secrets you don't tell anyone.

So when any planet crashes here, it's like all its secrets are exposed to a stranger. And this can put fear in the person of the house. He will be mad at you because you can tell what he is thinking.

I remember scaring this guy with the things I could see of him. I could read every emotion on his face, read his mind, and what he really wanted.

It is impossible to escape the influence of the planet. You'll end up thinking about him during the day, or you'll end up dreaming about him.

It's suffocating, painful and karmic. My tip is not to run away from him, but to face your feelings right away.

Love ya

Chan Chan

Chan Chan (Chimor) was the capital city of the Chimu civilization which flourished on the northern coast of Peru between the 12th and 15th centuries CE. The city was a giant metropolis populated by peoples from across the Chimu Empire, the largest the Americas had ever seen up to that time. Today, many of Chan Chan's huge palace complexes with their high relief-decorated adobe walls still survive as testimony to the city's lost grandeur. Chan Chan is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Historical Overview

Chan Chan, also known as Chimor, the name of its original inhabitants, was built at the mouth of the Rio Moche from c. 1000 CE. The initial prosperity of the Chimu was largely due to their agricultural skills as they built an extensive irrigation system using canals. Later, their successful military campaigns and policy of extracting tribute ensured that they became the dominant regional power. At its height, Chan Chan covered some 20 square kilometres and had a population of up to 40,000 making it the largest city yet seen in the Andes. The city became the hub of a vast trade and tribute network, and no fewer than 26,000 craftsmen and women resided there, often forcibly removed from conquered territories, especially the Lambayeque, to mass produce high-quality goods for domestic consumption and export. Raw materials traded and controlled by Chan Chan included gold, spondylus shell, tropical feathers, and foodstuffs.

The traditional founding ruler of the Chimu was Taycanamo, who was considered to have been born from a golden egg and then arrived from the sea. Other notable rulers include Guacricaur, who expanded into the Moche, Santa, and Zaña valleys. Eventually, the Chimu extended their territory even further south and in 1375 CE, under the rule of Nancinpinco, conquered the Lambayeque (Sican) culture absorbing some of their cultural practices and artistic ideas. The La Leche Valley was also brought under Chimu control so that, at its height, the Chimu Empire was the largest and most prosperous in South America during the Late Intermediate Period. At its greatest extent during the reign of Minchançaman c. 1400 CE, the area of Chimu influence stretched 1300 kilometres along the coast of northern Peru. As the empire grew so other administrative centres sprang up, such as at Farfan, Manchan, El Milagro, Quebrado Katuay, and the fortress site of Paramonga, but Chan Chan was supreme as the centre of the Chimu world.
