THE QUANTINESS
OF THE IMAGE:
It
is an exquisite piece of superb sculpture peeping at from every inch of its
huge dimensions-five feet in height and three feet in breadth. It is quite
enchanting, and a single glance exhilarates anyone, even the atheist for that matter.
Is he denuded of aesthetic sensibilities,
although his natural theistic impulses
are suppressed? It is a worth-seeing icon, impelling adoration without reservation
of any kind. To say the least, it is second to none but to itself. The figure on
the rear is that of an engrossing beauty of Jaganmohini in standing posture
with well cut round head, beautified by flower decked tresses, heightening her
lovely frame with long slender hands, decorated by gem studded armlets, and
that of feet decked with anklets and from there to neck draped in shimmering
saree, yet exposing that part of the thigh bearing the auspicious mole found on
the person of Padmini breed of women.
