This bronze sculpture, titled "Kannappan, from Tiruverkadu, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 1011 AD" transports us back to ancient India. Created by the Indian School in the 11th century and measuring an impressive 62x28 cm, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The figure depicted here is none other than Kannappan himself – one of the revered 63 Nayanmars who were ardent devotees of Lord Shiva. This metallic masterpiece showcases his unwavering belief and devotion towards his beloved deity. Standing tall and proud, Kannappan's posture exudes reverence and dedication. As we gaze upon this remarkable sculpture, we are reminded of the rich religious heritage that permeates South Asia. The intricate details on this statue highlight its significance within Hinduism. Its presence evokes a sense of spirituality and awe-inspiring beauty. Located in Chennai's Tiruverkadu region in Tamil Nadu state, this artwork serves as a testament to the deep-rooted cultural traditions that have shaped India for centuries. It stands as a symbol of devotion not only for Kannappan but also for countless followers who continue to revere Lord Shiva today. Captured through Dirk Bakker's lens with utmost precision and clarity, this photograph preserves the essence and magnificence of Indian artistry at its finest. As we admire it today, let us appreciate both the craftsmanship behind it and its historical significance within Hindu mythology.
