L'une des nombreuses statues en l'honneur de Vishnou qui entourent le temple , où encore dans les cours des temples et autour des petit temple et templions.
Vishnu Springs (vishnusprings.org) opened to the public for one day. After parking, it was about a half mile walk to the area of the 1890's resort town. The pathway went through a beautiful wooded forest.
Thanks for viewing my photo albums:
This is located inside the Vittala Temple campus. You would be visiting the Stone Chariot as part of your Vittala Temple tour.
In mythology Lord Vittala is an aspect of Lord Vishnu (See Gods of Hampi and Mythology of Hampi). Garuda (lord of eagles) is the vehicle (mount) of Lord Vishnu. The Stone Chariot once contained the icon on Garuda, though the shrine is empty now. This shrine is in the axis of the massive Vittala Temple and faces the sanctum of Vittala Temple.
Last light strikes Vishnu Temple just before full moon rises. Grand Canyon National Park. Another image as moon rises is below.
My mind has been all over the place with images which have appeared to me in this very old tree trunk which I photographed in a nearby park. From torah finials to Vishnu avatars . . . the symbolism and metaphors have grabbed me deeply, especially during this horrendous, unsettling political time . . .
From LOTUS SCULPTURE I quote:
"Vishnu is one of the principal Hindu deities, worshiped as the protector and preserver of the world and restorer of dharma (moral order). He is known chiefly through his avatars (incarnations), particularly Rama, Krishna and Buddha.
In theory, Vishnu manifests a portion of himself anytime he is needed to fight evil, and his appearances are innumerable;
but in practice, ten incarnations are most commonly recognized."
Le temple est entouré de sculptures et d'arts liés au Seigneur Vishnu. En outre, nous pouvons trouver les temples de Lord Shiva, Ashta Matrika, Chhinnamasta, Kileshwor et Krishna à l'intérieur de la cour du temple principal.
Vers la porte d'entrée (ouest), nous pouvons trouver le Chakra, Sankha photo et suivante), Kamal et Khadga, tous au sommet d'un pilier de pierre. Ces piliers de pierre ont une inscription en sanskrit (vue comme la plus ancienne du Népal).
On commence à voir les femmes qui sont les principales actrices de cette journée de mission-pélerinage .
A droite:le symbole de Trimürti:
Dans l'hindouisme, la Trimūrti, est la partie manifestée de la divinité suprême qui se fait triple pour présider aux différents états de l'univers Les dieux Brahmâ, Vishnou et Shiva (au centre ) symbolisent respectivement la création, la préservation et la destruction.
Certains voient dans le Trimürti une possible comparaison avec la Ste Trinité chrétienne .
Les divinités sont parfois représentées, dans l'imaginaire populaire, avec la peau bleue. comme Krishna, Rama, mais aussi Kali ou SHIVA qui ont la le visage et les mains de couleur bleue.
Le bleu est la couleur des océans, des rivières et du ciel. Il symbolise le courage, la capacité à lutter contre le mal, des sentiments purs.
Rama et Krishna protègent le monde et combattent le mal, ainsi ils sont de couleur bleue. C'est aussi la couleur de Vishnu.
From the Wiki Page: "Vishnu Temple is named for Vishnu, the Hindu deity, redeemer of the universe. This toponym was applied in 1880 by Clarence Dutton who thought this mountain resembled an oriental pagoda, when he began the tradition of naming geographical features in the Grand Canyon after mythological deities."
I believe that is Humphreys Peak, a dormant volcano, way off in the distance, which is just north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
North Rim
Grand Canyon National Park
It is an overwhelming adventure, a time of wonder with light and thunder, to experience a monsoon thunderstorm wave rolling across the Grand Canyon at sunset. Surrounded by storm cells with heavy rain and far too close lightning strikes of a highly active thunderstorm behind, the multiple echoes of the rolling thunders were deeply impressive. The panoramic view at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon near Cape Royal extends from Vishnu Canyon past Wotan's thrones into the sunset in Clear Canyon. The eponymous streams of these canyons cascade their muddy-brown rainfall torrents towards the Colorado River.
Such moments of great sublimity revive deeply rooted connections to our home planet. These impressions awaken our instincts and with them the irreversible realization how unique our planet is and how closely we are connected to it.

Der schönste Tafelberg (Butte) der Schlucht erinnert in seiner Gestalt verblüffend einen Hindutempel. Der Vishnu Temple ist nach der hinduistischen Gottheit Vishnu benannt worden.
Viele topographische Geländepunkte und auch Gesteinsformationen im Grand Canyon sind nach mythologischen Gottheiten benannt.

On our first night in the Grand Canyon we went out to Grandview and got to enjoy this view! Lots of people here but nonetheless worth the stop! It got me really excited to start our backpacking trip the next day!

Mortality and divinity are joined in this figure of a yoga master attaining an equivalence with the cosmos.
With its origins in India about 2,500 years ago, yoga developed philosophical elements both spiritual and secular, with ties to Hindu, Jain, Sufi and Buddhist traditions, in its goal of leading to spiritual transformation.

The prominent peak near the upper right is known as Vishnu Temple. Viewed from the Grand Canyon North Rim.
Beautiful sculpture of Varaha Avatar of Lord Vishnu-
Varaha is the third avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu in the form of a boar. When the demon Hiranyaksha stole the earth (personified as the goddess Bhudevi) and hid her in the primordial waters, Vishnu appeared as Varaha to rescue her. Varaha slew the demon and retrieved the Earth from the ocean, lifting it on his tusks, and restored Bhudevi to her place in the universe.
Varaha may be depicted completely as a boar or in an anthropomorphic form, with a boar's head and human body.
And the festival of colours.

Dashavatara refers to the ten avatars of Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation. Vishnu is said to descend in form of an avatar to restore cosmic order. The list of Dashavatara varies across sects and regions. The standard list is: Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Balarama and Kalki.
at Airavateswara temple, Darasuram,
This temple was constructed by the Rajaraja Chola II in the 12th century AD.
This temple is a storehouse of art and architecture. The vimana is 85 feet high. The front mandapam itself is in the form of a huge chariot drawn by horses. The temple has some exquisite stone carvings.
The main deity's consort Periya Nayaki Amman temple is situated adjacent to Airavateshwarar temple.
The Great Living Chola Temples. (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) at Thanjavur, Gangaikonda Cholapuram and Darasuram were built by the Cholas between the 10th and 12th centuries CE and have a lot of similarities.
