Rotating Pillar
How did our ancestors make this?
Isn't it amazing to see this intricately carved rotating pillar made from a single piece of stone with ball-bearing like arrangements at the bottom & top.
The pillar is believed to be rotated to perform certain religious rituals in olden times.
The entire pillar space is covered with fine filigree work along with the reliefs depicting episodes, such as Samudra Manthana, Ravana shaking Mount Kailash, many deities etc.
Narsimha Pillar, Belur Chennakeshava Temple, Karnataka. Early 12th century.
