c1150 AD #Statue from the #HoysalaDynasty of #Karnataka, South #India & now at National Gallery of Victoria #Melbourne #Australia
This motif is found in #Hindu #Buddhist & #Jain #Art, which adapted the pre-existing beliefs in Female Nature Spirits (#Yakshi).
The power of the #Tree #Goddess was invoked due to her association with #Fertility, shown here by the Tree bursting into Bloom when the Goddess's Heel touches it's Trunk.
Now, isn't it excellent!
From #BritishLibrary we have this c1895 photograph of the #KeshavaTemple at #Somnathpur or #Somananath #Mysore by unknown photographer from the #CurzonAlbum.
Completed in AD 1268, it is the finest surviving example of #Hoysala era temple dedicated to God #Vishnu.
Notice the intricate carvings.
