LORD CHENNAKESAVA OF BELUR

ELEGANCE - ITS EMINENCE

Fortunately for him there was enough talent available in Mahasilpis who could excel the unexcelled Viswakarma or Maya sought his patronage at this time. Master builder thus secured master sculptors. The State's exchequer opened itself even before the boneless hand of Bittideva reached its lid. Huge boulders of black granite reacting to the moods of the luminaries of Silpa and Vastusastra, like Saraswathi Padmabhoja, Ravurigiri Vajradanda, Sujana-Janamanoranjana, metamorphosed themselves into bewitchingly exquisite, ravishingly erotic, enchantingly tantalising female figures, resplendent in their dazzling filigree jewels and started moving about with graceful' giats ready to throw the beholders in hysterical outbursts and rapturous ecstacies. The accompanying representations drawn from flora and fauna, matching the grace and charm recreated a world of phantasy where animate turn into inanimate and ,vice versa bringing indeliable fame to the builder and the built.
