RAJARAJESWARA OF TALIPARAMABA |
|
|
Coming back to
Taliparamba, the Shivalinga here is only about three feet in height but when decorated
with the luminous crescent i.e. with the three eyes which are quite large and prominent
and the nose all made in gold the idol looks much taller and bigger and shines like a
thousand suns. One remembers the beautiful description of Kailasapati in Thunjath
Ezhuthachan's Adhyatma Ramayana:
Kailasachale, suryakoti sobhithe, vimalalaye, ratnapeede, samavishtam, dhyananishtam,
phalalochanam, munisiddha, devadhi sevyam. Siva residing in Kailasa, with the lustre
of a crore of suns with the crescent mark on his forehead seated on a pedestal of jewels
and adored by sages, Siddhas and devas. |
