Chandesa Anugrahamurthi and saraswathi figures are considered to be master pieces of Chola archaeology.
Chandesa anugrahamurthi: description- Siva seated on a throne with four arms carries axe and antelope in his upper arms; with the lower one the Lord is seen crowning Chandesa with garland of flowers, a symbol of affection and stewardship. Chandesa is seen seated in front and with folded arms and receiving the pride of place bestowed on him by his Lord. Chandesa is the embodiment of devotion and piety and the place he attained is considered the highest, a devotee of Siva is priviledged with. It is called the Chandesa padam, the abode of deliverance- History of Gangai Konda Cholapuram by Archaeological Dept Tamil Nadu
Gangaikonda Cholapuram (Tamil: கங்கைகொண்ட சோழபுரம்) was erected as the capital of the Cholas by Rajendra Chola I, the son and successor of Rajaraja Chola, the great Chola who conquered a large area in South India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Sumatra, Kadaram (Kedah in Malaysia), Cambodia and others at the beginning of the 11th century A.D . The great temple of Siva at this place is next only to the Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur in its monumental nature and surpasses it in sculptural quality.
உ ண்பனவும் உடுப்பனவும் உனக்கு ஆகுக : Said Lord Siva at that time.
