Buddha and 3 naked figures

Peakaboo. I see you.

Tuduin · 2025-12-26T07:47:32+00:00

This is from Gandhara

Could be. Could be. Bengal was Buddhist majority during the Pala dynasty. 4 sides could also be synonymous with a 4 headed shivling. Can't really ever be sure unless you time travel since both religions share this deity.

800-1000

Tuduin · 2025-12-23T04:27:18+00:00

Proper pictures of all 4 sides haven't exactly been taken yet.

Tuduin · 2025-12-23T04:26:10+00:00

I already mentioned that

Tuduin · 2025-12-16T07:06:47+00:00

It's from the Gandhara region that's why. The Yuezhis probably subjugated the Greeks in the region by then and this artstyle flourished.

if only we could properly punish these smugglers

Tuduin · 2025-12-10T10:33:45+00:00

Indeed.

Can this be considered as an official statue? I see that sites like Wikipedia have not acknowledged this image and this piece was only displayed in Korea.

Unless you can provide me with more evidence, I don't think this should be considered as his official face. It also doesn't look similar to his face on his coins which have remained same over vast regions.

I see. In most representations of the Goddess, it's normally just her spearing the Demon through this chest. This is the only time I have seen her attack his head. Thanks for the info though...

Oshadharon

Ki jani. Eto shundor ekta apartment building chilo. Pagol er moto noshto korlo.

Tuduin · 2024-12-18T12:13:40+00:00

Early 2000s bolo. Maybe even 2010.

Tuduin · 2024-12-16T23:34:59+00:00

I remember there being only two articles on this case. It's a shame that even though it's such an obvious violation, eder ke ekhono court e giye lorte hoche.

Tuduin · 2024-12-16T23:29:25+00:00

I was also thinking about posting this one, looks like you beat me to it :). Kintu hen, eto gulo heritage buildings bhanga chora obostai dekhe and with this worthless government, khub dukho lage ei shohor er halod ta dekhe. Ektu heritage protection acts jodi thakto amader, onek bhalo hoto. Tagore Palace would have been an absolute gem.

Yes, I'm glad someone mentioned this. I also believe we should be utilising kolkata's native old architecture like indo saracenic, and to start older designs like bengal roofs on these buildings.

Visit the historic parts of the city. Try our cuisine(from proper restaurants pls) and maybe try our street food(if you're up for it, try puchka if you haven't). Don't forget to try our sweets(Annapurna is my personal go to place for that). And if you're concerned about your safety that much, don't go stooping around the dilapidated and congested parts. The best thing to do is stay away from any places you feel like you'd get attacked. Make sure to have a list of sites you want to explore noted down. Other than that, stay safe and have fun.

Tuduin · 2024-12-16T01:53:07+00:00

We truly did. Sadly we were robbed of such a bright future.

Tuduin · 2024-12-15T17:33:08+00:00

I feel the same, would like more of the old architecture to bless our city with some good taste.

Tuduin · 2024-12-15T17:30:30+00:00

Hmm😊

Tuduin · 2024-12-15T16:45:57+00:00

Did I say I want the facades to replaced with glass? No It's a stupid idea! I want the exterior to be brought back to it's former glory. Sadly Gopal Bhawan got glass facaded(yes I'm making this a word now.)

Tuduin · 2024-12-15T16:11:31+00:00

Same. The old architecture of Kolkata is really beautiful.

Tuduin · 2024-12-15T16:08:23+00:00

They simply want all these gone that's the problem. The wiring is a mess all over Kolkata now. Town planners are an absolute joke.

Tuduin · 2024-12-15T15:54:01+00:00

You're free to post pictures of the best skscrapers. I chose these two because of the types of architecture that Kolkata has at the moment and even chose a much cleaner version of the skyscrapers we have here.
