Abstract

Some of the Relief sculptures are being as lithic documents on rare History. Evidence to this; we have series of huge base reliefs carved in VaikunthaPerumal Temple of Kanchipuram. Those are being very rare master pieces of art of India; themed on History of a Dynasty. Besides, some single or loose reliefs can found some temples, those figured on some events. Some of them depicted with couple of frames or more. Some has shrunken in one frame even it for on vast story. Many of those not identified even they situated in very main places of the temples. Simply those have sighted frequently by publics some time by scholars. Though the seeing eyes even belongs to Art Historians or Historians or self-interested Writers doesn’t catch the historic or aesthetic values of the art, even though they situated in visible area as said above. In fact the great scholars too failures to this; since, that the chance is being as a gift of God thus happened in rare. Why I am saying on this is the orientation of the researched sculpture that situated in the entrance jamb of the huge Raya Gopuram of Kanchipuram Ekambareswarar Temple is noteworthy. Though of its regular and direct visibility and orientation, no any articles came so far all I Know. Therefore this paper throwsa new light probably in first time on a sculpture whichholds an historical eventand too especially with divine miracle casted by SaintThirugnanaSambandhar.
