Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Rani ki Vav is replete with sculptures that symbolize water and fertility. There are hundreds of sculptures of young celestial women, known as apsarās, surasundarīs or nāyikās; of god Viṣṇu as Nārāyaṇa and personifications of the river goddesses. The corners of the walls include sculptures of the regents of the directions (dikpālas) but the majority are those of female figures standing under elaborate creepers. Images of young women, either alone or with their youthful male partners, have been found in Indian art since early times |
