YANTRODHARAK HANUMAN, HAMPI (KARNATAKA, INDIA)
Dedicated to Sri Hanuman, the Mandir gets its name from the image of Hanuman placed inside a hexagonal amulet.
Sri Hanuman is pictured in a meditative state which is unlike other depictions of Hanuman Ji.
Some legends say that the mandir is built on the place where Hanuman and Sri Ram met for the first time. Others believe that Sri Vyasaraja used to pray to Hanuman here by drawing an image on the rocks.
By the time he finished his prayers, the picture would have disappeared.
When this happened for 12 days in a row, he prayed to Hanuman Ji to appear. Prabhu appeared and asked Sri Vyasaraja to constrain him in a 6-sided amulet and build a mandir in the area.
12 monkeys are carved around this amulet representing 12 days Sri Vyasaraja prayed to Hanuman.
The Yantrodharaka Hanuman Stotram was written here and it is believed that if bhaktas chant the sloka thrice a day for six months, their wishes would be fulfilled.
Nearby is a small mandir dedicated to Srinivasa where the murti was sculpted by Sri Vyasaraja himself.
Bhagwan Hanuman Ji Murti in Madhava Ranga Temple of Hampi Situated near Lotus Mahal.
Local People believe that this Murti is the most ancient of all Murtis of Bhagwan Hanuman located in Hampi.

Karaikkal Ammaiyar, Shaiva Saint
Late 13th century.

⚫Tamil Nadu, INDIA
Chola period
Copper alloy
⚫Ammaiyar, a sixth-century South Indian Shaiva poet saint, achieved her emaciated state after beseeching Shiva to free her from all her worldly encumbrances, including her famed beauty. He granted her wish, transforming her into a withered old woman, and she delighted in devoting her life to composing hymns in praise of her Lord.
⚫Here, she is seen singing Shiva’s praises, accompanying herself with a pair of cymbals. Her hymns celebrate Shiva’s predilection for cremation grounds and for his wild dancing form as Nataraja.
