Love SL photography and looking for like minded artists or places to shoot? Come visit the Ippos Collective: 4 Picturesque SIMS to visit and/or settle. Come for the magic....stay for the friends. <3
Je présenterai les sculptures en suivant le sens de notre visite en commençant par les sculptures "anodines ": nymphes célestes , divinités , scènes de la vie comme les défilés , la chasse , les éléphants.... , puis celles valorisant le charme et la sensusalité , avant les "plus coquines voir osées" que je signalerai la veille .... puis les temples jaïn , plus particuliers dans leur architecture et sculptures.....
The shikra (Accipiter badius) is a small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae found widely distributed in Asia and Africa where it is also called the little banded goshawk.
The shikra was a favourite among falconers in India and Pakistan due to the ease with it could be trained and was frequently used to procure food for the more prized falcons. They were noted for their pluck and ability to take much larger birds including partrigdes, crows and even young peafowl. The word shikra or shikara means hunter in the Hindi language (the male was called chipak or chipka based on call The word Shikra is borrowed from the Urdu word (شِـكْـره) which is derived from the word shikari (شِكارى) meaning hunter. Hunting in Persian and Turkish is referred to as shikar (شِـكار), and in Arabic the hunt master in the Mamlook Era was known as Ameer Shikar (أمير شِـكار). The word Shikari may also be used in English in the sense of "hunter". In "The return of Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes says: "I wonder that my very simple stratagem could deceive so old a shikari"
Selon la légende, Hemvati, adorable fille d’un brahmane, fut séduite voici mille ans par le dieu de la Lune alors qu’elle se baignait dans un étang de la foret. De leur union naquit Chandravarman, fondateur de la dynastie rajput des Chandela, qui, en un siècle (entre 950 et 1050), bâtit quelque 85 temples à Khajuraho, ( 22 existent toujours). Ces chefs-d’œuvre d’architecture en pierre taillée figurent désormais sur la liste du patrimoine de l’Unesco.
Les temples de Khajurâho sont surtout célèbres pour leurs nombreuses frises érotiques, mais l’abondance des figures semble répondre au plaisir de représenter tous les sentiments humains imaginables : ainsi, les nymphes célestes nommées
sumsundari ou apsara sont en train de bailler, de se maquiller, de se peindre les pieds au henné ou de vérifier leur coiffure dans un miroir. D’autres statues incarnent des divinités, des demi-dieux ou des êtres fabuleux. Les frises plus longues se consacrent aux scènes de chasse ou aux processions accompagnées d’éléphants, de chevaux et de soldats. - doc à suivre

temple de Pratâpeshvara
Le temple de Pratâpeshvara est un temple hindou situé à Khajurâho dans l'état du Madhya Pradesh, en Inde. L'édifice fait partie du groupe situé à l'Ouest du site, construit lui ,au XIXe siècle.
Très décoratif et photogénique par sa situation au milieu de beaux espaces verts, le temple est toutefois intéressant pour son évocation de la culture indienne. Les trois dômes évoquent les trois principales architectures et religions de l'Inde: hindoue le dôme curviligne le plus haut, la pyramide bouddhiste au centre et la coupole islamique devant.

L’architecture des temples, grandiose et impressionnante, marque l’accomplissement de cet art en Inde centrale. Ces édifices aux formes ajourées reposent sur une plate-forme surélevée sans enceinte ; leurs éléments sont alignés le long d’un axe est-ouest. La hauteur des toits augmente avec l’importance des sanctuaires, depuis les vestibules ornées de tourelles à l’est et le mahamandapa doté de grandes ouvertures et de balcons, jusqu’a la tour du temple, le shikara dominant le tout.
ll est fréquent que le shikara se dresse au milieu d’une forêt de petites tours-temples accolées les unes aux autres,
tout comme le mont universel Meru, que le shikara est censé symboliser, s’élève au-dessus de tous les autres
montagnes. On admirera les décors de la salle de réunion, le mahamandapa, et les ornements du plafond
Si ces temples sont aussi bien conservés et s’ils ont échappé aux pillages, c’est sans doute en raison de leur situation isolée.

india incredible....Nainital is a Himalayan resort town in the Kumaon region of India’s Uttarakhand state, at an elevation of roughly 2,000m. Formerly a British hill station, it’s set around Nainital Lake, a popular boating site with Naina Devi Hindu Temple on its north shore. The beautiful lake resort town nestles amidst seven hills in a lush valley at an altitude of 1938 meters. In 1841, the British first discovered Nainital as a holiday resort. Today, the town has emerged as one of the most important hill resorts of India
"Naini" is derived from the temple of goddess Naini which was built on the bank of the lake but later got destroyed due to land slides in the year 1880, The place is mentioned in Skand Puran as 'Trishul Sarover'. Tri Rishi (three sages Atri, Pulastiya and Pulha) had come there for pilgrimage while they were at Gagar range, they felt thirsty and could not find any water. They thought of Mansarover and dug a hole which at once got filled with water.
The boats are called shikaras and resemble the wooden boat found on Dal Lake of Srinagar, India.
•Le superbe temple de Kandariya Mahadeva est considéré comme l’exemple le plus évolué de l’architecture des Chandellas. Avec une longueur de 30,5 m et une largeur de 20 m,il est le plus grand des temples de Khajurâho . La tour principale est entourée de 84 tours plus petites, toute réunies autour d’elle. Les deux portails d’entrée témoignent du talent de leurs sculpteurs. Les figures[872 statues ou personnages de au moins 1 m de hauteur ] réalisées avec brio, varient entre de grandes sculptures assez élancées et une kyrielle de motifs érotiques.
La loupe permet de voir les statues de près , mais la sélection de photos à suivre le permettra.
Weeding The Dal Lake Srinagar.
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.
At Dal lake, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.
The shikara is a type of wooden boat found on Dal Lake and other water bodies of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Shikaras are of varied sizes and are used for multiple purposes, including transportation of people. A usual shikara seats half-a-dozen people, with the driver paddling at the rear. Like the Venetian gondolas, they are a cultural symbol of Kashmir. Some shikaras are still used for fishing, harvesting aquatic vegetation (usually for fodder), and transport, while most are covered with tarpaulins and are used by tourists. Some are used as floating homes by poor people.

Dal is a freshwater lake in Srinagar, the capital of the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir. It is integral to tourism and recreation in the Kashmir valley. It is also an important source for commercial operations in fishing and water plant harvesting. The shoreline of the lake, about 15.5 kms, is encompassed by a boulevard lined with several Mughal era gardens, parks, houseboats and hotels. The lake covers an area of 18 sq.kms and is part of a natural wetland which covers 21.1 sq.kms including floating gardens.The floating gardens, known as "Raad" in Kashmiri, blossom with lotus flowers during July and August.
A Shikara ride is a must on a trip to Srinagar. As you sit back and enjoy your ride, floating shops come alongside and you can buy anything from local saffron, Kahwa (Kashmiri tea) , silver trinkets or even succulent kebabs.:-)
A palace floated by in the November morning haze on the Dal Lake. Full Spring seats were guaranteed.
