This is the 3rd & last part of Thirukurungudi. This time is the photo album of the sculptures on the Gopuram itself, that we explored getting onto the 1st floor of the temple! These were extremely minute and intricate and oh yeah, it took a tough time for my friends to pull me out of this place!!! Rama, Lakshmana with Vanara Sena Prankster Krishna stealing butter Meenakshi Sundareshwarar wedding! An elephant made of parrots! A horse made of parrots! How often have you seen a Garuda dancing??!!! Horse made of women! Elephant made of women! Hiranya vadham by Narasimha! Garuda again... A hunting lioness??!!! Bhima trying to move Hanuman's tail and failing miserably!!! Musicians & dancers! Kaliya Mardhan... Notice the snake headed wives of Kaliya?!! Mahishasura Mardhini. A village scene of milking a cow. Same Muni we saw at Villianur? Is he Manu? Again prankster Krishna in Vastrabagaranam (stealing Gopika's clothes)!!! TO GET THERE: Check my earlier post Dedicated to Prof. Swaminathan & Co...

This is Kartikeya, son of Siva and Parvati. Here Karthikeya is shown with six faces and twelve arms riding his vahana, peacock. This image could be called Arumukha or Shanmukha (who has six faces)…
