Monkey Face Orchid 🐵 🌼

Found on the sides of the high mountains in southeastern Ecuador and Peru at an elevation of 1,000 - 2,000 meters, the monkey face orchid is a popular but rare favourite among orchid collectors, because it has a distinctive monkey or baboon face in its flower. 😱👏🙏

A short but steep hike of 4.5 kms from the stunningly beautiful Chopta Valley in Garhwal Himalayas takes you to Tunganath Shiva temple at an altitude of 12,074 feet. It is known to be the highest Shiva temple in the world.

The trail and the slopes are covered in thick blanket of snow in the winter months and the arrival of spring season turns it into a place dotted with densely stunning rhododendron flowers in shades of red and pink, both on the trees and the walking trail (fallen ones).

While the rhododendrons do not survive beyond 4 weeks, the arrival of summer season followed by the monsoons, turns the slopes into velvety green interspersed with wild mountain flowers in riot of colours.

Masterpiece by master sculptor Mallitamma - ❣️

Mallitamma's fame in his own time made him an inevitable presence during the later Hoysala period. Many smaller non ornate temples like Panchalingeshwara temple also probably waited for him to contribute at least Dwarapalakas. Mallitamma's name is incribed beneath two of the four Dwarapalakas which guard the two eastern doorways of this five sanctumed temple. The fact that all the four Dwarapalakas are identical suggests that they were all the work of Mallitamma, although the southern Dwarapalaka of the south-eastern doorway and the northern Dwarapalaka of north-eastern doorway are signed "Ruvari Mallitamma".

These Dwarapalakas are apparently 1.4 meters high and stand in the graceful Tribhanga pose. Following the canons laid down for the depiction of such sculptures, the weight of the body is borne by the leg nearest the wall with the other leg turned slightly towards the doorway in a protective posture. Three of the four hands hold weapons. The lower hand near the door rests on s club entwined by a sarpa (snake). While the upper hands each bear a Khatwanga topped by a skull surrounded by flames and a Damaru. The lower right hand is raised in the abhaya mudra (Protective pose).

Dwarapalakas are richly bejeweled with various ornaments like Necklaces, Crown decorated with skulls, bracelets, armlets, anklets, rings and sarpakundalas (earrings). They all have been carved to depict multitudinus strings of small pearls. These create a shallow relief like pattern across the surface of the sculpture
