"Surya: The Radiant Sun God in Ancient Art and Culture" In the realm of ancient art and culture, Surya, the resplendent Sun God, holds a prominent position. Adorned with intricate stone carvings, often depicted flanked by two revered deities - Siva and Visnu. These magnificent sculptures from the Pala period (10th / 12th century) showcase the divine trinity's power and significance. One cannot help but marvel at the grandeur on his celestial chariot. Crafted during the same era as previous artworks, this masterpiece portrays him standing tall, illuminating all with his radiant presence. The unknown creator skillfully captures every detail to emphasize his magnificence. Traveling back in time to ancient Corinthian architecture, we encounter a captivating capital adorned with an exquisite quadriga featuring none other than Surya himself. This second-century creation showcases his mastery over both light and motion as he rides across the heavens. Venturing further east to Angkor period artwork (12th century), we discover a mesmerizing mandala dedicated to Surya and lesser planetary deities. This intricately designed piece reflects devotion towards not only him but also celestial bodies that govern our lives. Chromolithographs bring forth vibrant depictions of Surya's journey through the sky as well as celebrations like Pongal festival where devotees honor his blessings. These prints capture moments filled with joyous fervor that have transcended centuries. Sculptures also portray Revanta, Son of Sun God Surya from around the 10th century in bronze form; showcasing lineage within divine realms while radiating gracefulness befitting their heritage. Throughout history, artists have sought inspiration from this benevolent deity who blesses us daily with warmth and light. From ancient times to modern-day India's iconic Konarak Sun Temple, Surya's influence remains undeniable.
