Tumburu ..another celestial minstrel is also 'horse-headed'
it's beautiful!the only thing i was wondering,would it be more appropriate if we we talk of "a deity in hindu/aryan/non-aryan/vedic/non-vedic culture" instead of "a deity in indian culture"?!
A very unique idol thanks
"a deity in hindu/aryan/non-aryan/vedic/non-vedic culture" - why are we so confused about our heritage? Coming from TN, a community very close to Hayagriva worship I was thrilled to fine a Hayagrib Madhab temple in Assam which is worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists
horse? looks more like a dragon
TELL US MORE ABOUT THE DEITY.
Today is Haygriva Jayanti.
Fascinating and beautiful. You can't discover India enough.
dont mix the two: one male and one female deity:
This icon of Hayagriva is conventional type to represent the Vedic -northwestern frontier of early Indian culture but represented much later by twelveth-thirteenth century Kulu -Manali art motif.
This was very educative.Thank you.
We now know him as Hrithik Roshan.
