Sphinxes
of India
The
Sphinxes of India
website is a presentation of my discovery of sphinxes in the art,
mythology, ritual and oral traditions of South and South-East Asia. This
discovery shines a fresh and significant new light on the place of the
sphinx in the history of art and civilization. The website includes a
photo gallery of over 150 sphinxes I have discovered in South Indian
Historic Treasures
This
website is a
presentation of six historic photographs taken in the Shri Shiva
Nataraja temple in Chidambaram some 150 years ago. These photos
represent a unique window on the history and architecture of this famous
temple. It enables a re-evaluation of its known history and gives
support for its reputation as a truly ancient and sacred sthalam. For
the first time we have tangible and material proof to date this temple
to the age of the Early Chola emperors.
All proceeds of counseling, teaching and book
sales are utilized to support
my research on the
Sphinxes of India
and other research projects.
