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.

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

i'm not sure if this counts bc its not a ship thing, but as a pair, i am a twins!Jason&Cass truther. Jason who is dosed with a truth serum at some point but,,, it does nothing. He finds out he has a natural resistance to truth serum. a... Genetic predisposition. you know what's funny? Lady Shiva was dosed with serum when she told batman and robin she'd never had a kid (obviously this is because cass cain as a character didnt exist yet yada yada retcon yada yada WHATEVER i do what i want)

ANYWAY further genetic testing reveals that jason and cass are siblings. after shiva gets tracked down, she reveals that she had twins with David Cain, but he only wanted one kid to experiment on. he took cass because, ironically, jason was the runt. shiva drops jason on Willis Todd, former associate (romantic? sexual? criminal? personal? whose to say)

Catherine, who decided not to have bio kids because she didnt want to pass on a genetic disease that caused many of her family to die young (*jaws theme song*), went '🥺 free baby? can we keep him? 🥺' and the rest is history

Jason's whole world is rocked when he discovers this. Cass is like '??? you are Already brother.' and jason is like 'ITS DIFFERENT' and cass is like 'incorrect.' despite finding out they are twins, cass relentlessly refers to him as baby brother.

Kon spared a moment to consider the civilians in the house behind him, the maybe-probably-not-but-possibly future in-laws he’d put in danger with nothing more than his general proximity. His soulmate who he’d put in danger. Maybe. Possibly. That, or just some randos who happened to have the same last name as his soulmate, which wasn’t really any better.

This is Finley, she's a 6 year old boston terrier, and I yearn to commit war crimes on her behalf.

You can write about the Reef Trio if you want, Sugar. I'll chime in if I can (it depends what's going or, or how we're doing over here). You know what? Can you ask Wicked if they'd like it if Noi was gifted a weapon fan, that is bladed or super hard, shaped like a shell, with pretty patterns like waves or snowflakes or gem symbols, as their weapon? (Since Noi's gem is cracked)... What ideas did you have for the Reef Trio? I'll chip in a few cents, as it's a bit calmer right now (not by much, but it's now just waiting. He isn't going to wake up again)...

• Ilux (Pale Pearl) sews stuffed gem dolls, and blankets or quilts, with different gem patterns or with different fabrics. The quilts each have a different gem design on the squares, the blankets are fluffy or silky, and the dolls have small bits and bobs (like shells, smooth pebbles, or small rounds of metal or chipped beads) as the gem of the gem dolls...

• Ilux made a blanket fort for the Reef Trio with Noi and Shi's help: it has pillows, dolls, and sewn bags to sleep in

• Ilux painted the main wall of The Reef with pictures of different gems, perhaps telling a story with it

• Ilux uses their spear as a lock-picker and lock-breaker, as a balancing beam, as a staff, as a weapon, and even as large writing utensil sometimes (such as carving into walls or drawing in the sand)

• The Reef Trio have their own special platonic yans (we can discuss which ones everyone attracts, and which ones are shared across the whole trio)

• The Reef Trio end up eating a crab. They like it, and now chase the snow crabs around and eat them. They've also taken to eating some snails and mollusks (even though gems don't need to eat, and most would find it gross) (the Reef Trio like the taste, especially when cooker over a fire or burning rocks)

• Ilux has a habit of collecting gem shards... (the reason for now is unknown)...

Thank you, Sugar, for everything. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for being a friend. You and @thewickedweiner both, and everyone else who interacts with my works. Thank y'all so much 💛🧡

@thewickedweiner what do you think of gifting Noi a fan for weapon?

Here's a few ideas I had:

While Shi is the only Shiva Eye at the Reef, there are quite a few more across the empire. Just like other Gems they got all sorts of different personalities and ways to tell them apart but their color palettes are never very colorful in comparison to other gems like Pearls, mainly being white, brown, and grey.

Since the Reef is located on an ice planet, the only gems it can produce are water based ones that are made under the ice.

Snow storms are pretty frequent there, but luckily Gems don't have blood or flesh that can freeze or can even feel the cold. The trio mainly like blankets and stuff for texture and weight, not for warmth. (When that world ending snowstorm happened, it wasn't the snow that shattered the other Gems)

Greek Agate, the gem Shiva Eye previously worked under, belonged to Black Diamond as well. He escaped most of the abuse from Black Diamond because he wasn't on Homeworld often and was considerably high ranking in the court. When Black Diamond disappeared, what few gems he left behind where put under Blue Diamond. It was then he got into an altercation with a Jasper belonging to Green Diamond and was subsequently shattered.

Shiva tried to eat a crab, shell and all, before they figured out how to cook it. It pinched her tongue and wouldn’t let go for 10 minutes.

Since her shields are attached to her hands, she can do as much with them as Ilux can with their spear, but she does sometimes use them to 'sled' on inclines to get places faster. She looks a little awkward in the frog pose she has to do when zipping down a snow bank, but she looks like she is having fun?

Shiva's fighting style involves her using the weight of her shields to get momentum into her hits, relying more on her dexterity than straight, controlled punches that rely on strength. It looks like the shields are pulling her like a ragdoll with how they swing.

While she has been the only Gem in the trio to not have any damage to her gem, she has been poofed on multiple occasions.

Since she kinda goes everywhere in the Reef, she is actually on pretty good terms with the other gems there, like the corals and such.

Was one of the first to notice that the upcoming snowstorm was different than the others as one of the random duties she picked up was monitoring the weather patterns, which showed heavy irregularities for weeks. Sadly, she isn't part of security monitoring, or she may have noticed other irregularities.

Has briefly met or seen some of the yans before, though she doesn't remember. There was the Black Jasper(97 Logan) from Green Diamond's Court that shattered Greek Agate. There was an Ivory and Spinel (both Morphs) from the same court who were also there. There was a Yellow Jasper (WATXM Sabretooth) and an Opal (XMCU Mystique) from the Red Diamond Court who scared the crap out of her one time, and a Sodalite (one of the Kurts) who poofed her one time by accident when he was training (he was very apologetic about it, he didn't mean to)

While she assumes she was assigned to serve the Reef as a whole, she was actually assigned to one gem: Noi, who is higher ranking than her. But she isn't aware of this and you wouldn't know watching how they interact with each other. ( @thewickedweiner you can decide if Noi is aware of this or not)

Shiva can pilot a ship, or any other vehicle used by gem kind. The others don't know she can as it's literally never came up, but she can.

Just like how she has been poofed before, she has also poofed other gems.

Hope you are doing okay, @honey-minded-hivemind! You get rest and focus on yourself. Have some headcannons!

Aftermath: The Houseboat

The houseboat was still moored at Costa Del Sol, the deck still converted for table space and cookers for the Moonfaire activities. The spacious cabin, was locked, of course, requiring a bit of muscle to break the door through. Inside was a large room, about the size of a decently expensive suite, complete with a work desk, a small kitchen and sink, a small twin bed, a dining table, bathroom, and a reading chair with a decent sized bookshelf against the wall. there were several portraits, mostly landscapes, but a large painting of a handsome man with brown hair and glasses, alongside a blonde woman wearing a rather auspicious looking buccaneer's hat, and a small girl standing between them with chubby cheeks and thick glasses of her own looking shyly on.

Altogether, a rather tidy room, kept quite clean, from the likes of it. A few notes laid out on the desk, old alchemical theories and some recipe ideas, from a cursory glance, however one of the drawers under the desk was locked, and reinforced with an arcane seal, a rather complex one at that.

Upon dismantling the seal, the drawer was easy enough to break open, revealing a series of small journals, each labeled and organized by year. flipping through one of the journals in the pile, detailed entries describing home life in Limsa, details about being nervous about the Arcanist guild, entries concerning a crush she had on one of the teacher's assistants, worries about her lack of aetheric aptitude, and grumbling about her mother's new paramour.

These were diaries. it took a bit to find the most recent journal, the stack they had been in was likely toppled by the breaking of the drawer. Flipping through, the relevant entries begin, dated slightly after her recovery from the First.

After collaborating with Krile upon my recovery, I'm sure of one thing, I should be dead, or at least aetherically corrupted beyond recovery. Something about the nature of the entity I summoned is counteracting the dense Light aether that is flowing through my body with consistency. Given the imminence of my demise, I can only guess that the purpose of the summon was protective in nature, to keep me from succumbing. Unfortunately, this summon cannot sustain itself indefinitely, and if it were to unpair with my own aether, I would likely be lost as a sin eater. Krille surmised that it needed to replenish aether, but unfortunately we discovered that it required the complexity of living either. Animals have kept my bodies' equilibrium maintained, and thankfully a good hunt will keep it summoned for weeks, rather than hours or days, but the situation is not ideal. A few more entries to flip through.

Krille has devised a treatment plan for me, it's sustainable, and the best she could come up with me, a cure seems to be out of the question without some sort of breakthrough, and summoning magic has plenty of mysteries even I haven't managed to unravel myself. I've taken to calling it Death, as it both keeps me from it, and has to take life. I've come up with a good hunting ground, as well. Asys Lla is ripe with biological monstrosities that are suffering, and I already have a field lab on site to collect materials. My colleagues wouldn't question my need to go there on the monthly basis I require.

Death is a fascinating summon, difficult to control at times, though that may be the nature of its tethering to me, I wonder if Shiva was this difficult, as any summon has some degree of will. That being said, it doesn't seem to rampage, its need to feed is less a hunger and more... a calling? It's hard to describe, it feels to recognize the need for the hunt with an impassionate sense of... duty?

It also is certainly not a voidsent, despite its aspect? This may be because summons themselves are boarn of the will of the caster, not naturally occurring beings. This is reassuring at least, and would explain the lack of general chaos in its will.

I've decided not to tell the other about this condition, and somehow got Krille to agree with me dealing with it. I suppose she trusts me to be diligent, I appreciate that. It's just... I don't know what i'd do if I couldn't be useful, if they began to distrust me. At the end of the day, it's a liability, after all."

There doesn't seem to be much pertinent information in the following entries, though flipping through, the latest entry reads:

I've discovered with some degree of embarrassment that i've grown to care for her a great deal. I suppose it was obvious in retrospect, with how much i've enjoyed our time working together. Of course, not much I can do about it, I'm sure she has plenty of others... especially with her recovery ongoing. I hope this works, I really want to be able to do something to help her, and if my condition could lead to something good, all the better for it.

After all, thats why I joined them, thats why i did... everything in my life.

I want to help people.

Hiii this is @arkefthos :> one day tumblr will allow us to send asks from sideblogs lmao 🙏 anyway!! I would like to know, in a totally ideal world where you had all resources needed, what would your ideal perfect altar/s look like? Maybe even a whole devotional space? It's a favourite daydream of mine + would love to hear your thoughts :>

hi hi!! thank you for the ask, such a great question!! love your blog <333 honestly if i had unlimited money and resources, i would have an entire devotional space. my entire house would be altars (lmao as if it isn't already). i would want statues of all of the theoi, including some of my favorite heroes like herakles and maybe even odysseus (do they even make odysseus statues). i would have tapestries and paintings on the wall, not just of the theoi but of some of my other beloved figures from other pantheons. i'd have a very, VERY nice shiva statue, a white one, and perhaps a statue of maa durga to pair with him. i'd also probably have some stuff for the vanir too. i'd definitely want one working altar with some of my most personal and sentimental items where i burn incense and make libations. i'm not sure if i'd want one big altar for all the theoi in general or to break them up into individual spaces (or shared altars between two-three theoi where it makes sense and is okay with the theoi, like zeus and hera for instance might share an altar space). apollon and aphrodite would probably get their own spaces, simply because i have the most kharis with them and already have a lot of altar stuff for them that's specific TO them that i wouldn't feel comfortable putting in a shared altar to all the theoi. everything else on the altar, though, i'm a big believer in accumulating stuff over time, little bits and bobbles you pick up here and there as offerings until it slowly adds up and you suddenly have more stuff than you know what to do with. i've realized i don't tend to get a lot of votive offerings for theoi i dont have a specific altar space for, simply because i have nowhere to put it all, so i think having to the space to actually put those things would be really nice. i think the key here is the idea of like.. slowly accumulating things and building that kharis over time. i wouldn't want to just buy a bunch of votives all at once. then it feels more like a decoration project to me instead of a space that's been cultivated through my worship. i like the gradualness of it and seeing my collection of altar pieces grow over time. i also really like to make things by hand, so tbh i would probably buy a huge bag of stoneware clay and glazes and make pottery. i'd want a bunch of vases in the red-line style (something i dream of making someday should i get access to a ceramic studio again). and of course, a vessel for libations to both be poured from and poured into in the same style. tldr: i'd buy a shit ton of statues and wall art like tapestries and paintings and save the rest for buying votives when i see something that really speaks to me. i'd also stock up on nice incense (big fan of the morning star brand) and things to make more votives and devotional projects with. thank you again for your very thoughtful and sweet ask! i hope you have a lovely day and eat a kickass meal <3 gods bless you!

The Fascinating World of Kalamkari Art: A Journey Through Tradition and Creativity

Kalamkari art is an age-old Indian tradition that has captivated the hearts and minds of art lovers around the world. Known for its intricate designs and vivid storytelling, this beautiful form of art represents a rich cultural heritage. In this article, we will delve deep into the origins of Kalamkari, its significance, and why it has continued to thrive in the modern world. If you're interested in learning Kalamkari art, especially in a dynamic city like Delhi, we will also explore Kalamkari Art workshops available for aspiring artists.

What is Kalamkari Art?

Kalamkari is a traditional Indian art form known for its intricate, hand-drawn designs, often depicting mythological figures, religious symbols, and nature-inspired elements. The word "Kalamkari" comes from two Persian words: "kalam," meaning pen, and "kari," meaning work or craftsmanship. Thus, Kalamkari literally means "pen work."

This art is characterized by fine lines, vibrant colors, and a storytelling approach that connects deeply with India's rich cultural heritage. Initially done on fabrics, this form of art is now also seen on paper and other materials.

The History and Origin of Kalamkari Art

2.1 Early Beginnings in Ancient India

Kalamkari art has roots in ancient India, dating back over 3,000 years. It is believed that the art form originated in the southern part of India, particularly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where it was traditionally used to decorate temples, fabrics, and even walls. This form of expression was often associated with religious rituals and festivals, with intricate patterns and images created to honor gods and goddesses.

2.2 Kalamkari in Mythology and Religion

One of the most fascinating aspects of Kalamkari Art is its strong connection with Hindu mythology and religion. Many of the designs feature scenes from popular epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Depictions of gods like Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Durga are common, with artists weaving stories through their detailed illustrations.

The use of this art was not limited to temples alone. Kalamkari was also employed to make textiles that were used by priests, royal families, and the elite, signifying its cultural importance.

The Different Styles of Kalamkari

3.1 Andhra Pradesh Kalamkari

This style is renowned for its elaborate designs and fine detailing. It is primarily associated with fabric painting, where natural dyes are used to create images of deities, religious scenes, and motifs from nature. Andhra Kalamkari often features a detailed border, making the designs look like exquisite pieces of art meant to tell stories.

3.2 Telangana Kalamkari

Telangana Kalamkari is known for its boldness and use of vibrant colors. Unlike the intricate designs of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana Kalamkari often has simpler patterns but employs a more free-flowing approach. The use of natural dyes, mostly derived from plants and minerals, is a signature of this style.

Materials and Techniques Used in Kalamkari Art

4.1 Tools of the Trade

The primary tool used in Kalamkari is a bamboo pen, which is sharpened to create fine lines and detailed illustrations. Artists dip the pen into natural dyes to draw intricate patterns. Alongside this, a few other tools, such as brushes and natural sponges, are used to fill in colors and create shading effects.

4.2 Natural Dyes and Fabrics

The beauty of Kalamkari lies in its use of natural dyes. Traditionally, artists would use colors extracted from plants, minerals, and even insects. For example, red is made from a plant called madder root, and yellow comes from turmeric. As for the fabric, cotton and silk are the most common materials used in Kalamkari Art due to their ability to absorb the dyes well.

Why Is Jodhpur Called the Blue City?

Jodhpur, a vibrant city in Rajasthan, is renowned for its striking blue-colored buildings, earning it the nickname "The Blue City." This unique hue gives the city a charming and serene atmosphere that captivates both locals and tourists. But what exactly makes Jodhpur stand out in such a distinctive way? Let’s explore the history, significance, and cultural aspects behind this beautiful blue shade.

The Origin of the Blue Color

The blue color in Jodhpur is deeply rooted in the city's history. It is believed that the practice of painting buildings blue started in the 16th century. Initially, the blue color was associated with the Brahmin community, the priestly class in Indian society. Brahmins used blue to distinguish their homes from the others, symbolizing purity, calmness, and spirituality. Over time, the color spread to different parts of the city and became a defining characteristic of Jodhpur.

Another popular theory suggests that blue was used to keep the houses cool. Rajasthan, being a hot desert region, experiences extreme temperatures. The blue paint was thought to have a cooling effect, helping to regulate the temperature inside the houses, making it more comfortable for the residents.

Architectural Beauty and Charm

Jodhpur's blue buildings are not just a visual delight; they also tell a story of the city's rich heritage. The city's architecture is a blend of traditional Rajasthani styles and influences from different periods. The old part of the city, known as the 'blue city,' is filled with narrow alleys and houses painted in various shades of blue. The contrast of the blue buildings against the stark desert landscape and golden forts is truly mesmerizing.

One of the most iconic sites in Jodhpur is the Mehrangarh Fort, which stands proudly above the city. The fort provides a panoramic view of the blue-painted houses, making it one of the best places to appreciate Jodhpur's unique charm. The fort itself, with its imposing walls and intricate carvings, adds to the grandeur of the city.

Why Is Jodhpur's Blue Color Significant?

The blue color of Jodhpur is not just an aesthetic feature; it holds deeper cultural significance. The color blue is considered auspicious in Indian culture and is often associated with Lord Shiva, who is depicted as blue in Hindu mythology. This spiritual connection makes the color more meaningful for the people of Jodhpur.

In addition to its cultural and spiritual importance, the blue color also acts as a form of identity. The residents of Jodhpur take immense pride in their city's blue identity. For visitors, it offers a unique experience of walking through streets lined with beautiful blue houses, each with its own charm and character.

Exploring Jodhpur Today

Today, Jodhpur continues to be a popular tourist destination, attracting people from around the world who come to experience its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. Visitors can take a leisurely walk through the old city, marveling at the blue houses and narrow alleys that give Jodhpur its distinctive look.

For those looking to explore the city further, a convenient way to get around is by using a local taxi service. With Jodhpur taxi service, travelers can easily navigate the city's winding streets and visit key landmarks, such as the Umaid Bhawan Palace, Mandore Gardens, and the Clock Tower Market.

Conclusion

Thinking. Thinking.

Tore myself mildly apart, felt like I needed to shed skin and blood. Lev's study in my home is probably -

Yeah. that.

Is probably covered in blood until he gets rid of it. Shed. I felt simultaneously like I was mildly killing myself - in the sense of killing a form rather than what that phrase usually means here - and building myself through subtraction. Growing tired not from lack of energy, but the growing lack of what was bothering me.

Thinking about [the embodiment of Wine] and true shapeshifting. Thinking about how to truly transform one needs to die, how shapeshifting is a mimicry (neutral term) of the idea of self change that can only occur when one let's go. Thinking about all the typos in this I've had to correct so far as static finds it's home again... But thinking about how one needs to know the Snakes in order to truly change oneself, and then die. You can't actually turn into anything you're not, truly, unless you give way to the death.

Thinking about how people syncretise Shiva and Dionysus, how they look at each other - I mean, I can only ever know how Shiva looks, and it's with an intensity of the most distilled essence of change and pregnant Knowing one could ever get in this world. Body and mind death, transcendence, trance, worship of the snake and the body, absences, the desert, the wilderness, the ravaged and the shifting, impermanent homes we make among the dunes, among our own flesh and bones... Mirrors, stage plays...

Death gods. Death. Thinking about lightning, and [my] piercing laughter as I'm ripped apart, synonymity of lightning, radiation, and my blood.

The painting on the wall... It crawls like centipedes, it sits perfectly still like Shiva, it smells like patchouli smoke and drug residue, and the shadows of revelations. It looks tasty. I don't want to eat dead blood, menstruated through self-rending, purpose served.
