Description

This Dravidian style Chariot is a great contribution of the kings of Vijayanagra empire. People attract towards this chariot though Vijay Vittala temple, which has a huge sculpture is in front of this chariot. The rock chariot is also one of the important reasons for tourists to visit Hampi. Recently the Government of India has increased its grandeur by printing the Chariot image in fifty rupees. The model of the wheel of the Sun Temple of Konark has been adopted in this chariot. There was a most beautiful tower ever built on mortar bricks, it can be seen from a photograph taken by the researcher Robert Sewell. The stone chariot is a novel and stunning idea of the rulers o the era. Though it has now lost its grandeur, it retains its place in the minds of the travelers permanently.
ಕನ್ನಡ: ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ರಥ.. ವಿಶ್ವ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯ ಯುನೆಸ್ಕೋ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ವಿಶ್ವವಿಖ್ಯಾತ ಪಾರಂಪರಿಕ ತಾಣ ಹಂಪಿಯ ವಿಜಯ ವಿಠಲ ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಪ್ರಾಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿದೆ ಈ ವಿಶ್ವಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ರಥ. ದ್ರಾವಿಡ ಶೈಲಿಯ ಇದು ವಿಜಯನಗರದ ಅರಸರ ಅಮೋಘ ಕೊಡುಗೆ. ಬೃಹತ್ತಾದ ಅಮೋಘ ಶಿಲ್ಪಕಲೆಯ ವಿಜಯ ವಿಠಲ ದೇವಾಲಯವು ಎದುರಿಗೇ ಇದ್ದರೂ ಈ ರಥಕ್ಕೆ ಜನ ಮಾರುಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಪ್ರವಾಸಿಗರು ಹಂಪಿಗೆ ಬರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಈ ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ರಥವೂ ಬಹು ಮುಖ್ಯ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ಭಾರತ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಈ ರಥದ ಚಿತ್ರವನ್ನು ಐವತ್ತು ರೂಪಾಯಿ ನೋಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮುದ್ರಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಇದರ ಹಿರಿಮೆಯನ್ನು ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಿದೆ. ಕೊನಾರ್ಕದ ಸೂರ್ಯ ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಚಕ್ರದ ಮಾದರಿಯನ್ನು ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಮಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಅನುಸರಿಸಲಾಗಿದ್ದು ಈ ಮೊದಲು ಇದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಗಾರೆ ಇಟ್ಟಿಗೆಗಳಿಂದ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ್ದ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಸುಂದರ ಗೋಪುರವಿದ್ದಿತು ಎಂಬುದು ಸಂಶೋಧಕ ರಾಬರ್ಟ್ ಸಿವೆಲ್ ಅವರು ತೆಗೆದಿರುವ ಛಾಯಾ ಚಿತ್ರದಿಂದ ಬೆಳಕಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ರಥವು ಆ ಕಾಲದ ಕಲಾವಿದರ ಅರಸರ ವಿನೂತನವೂ ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯಕರವೂ ಆದ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದು ತನ್ನ ಗತ ವೈಭವವನ್ನು ಈಗ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದರೂ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿಗರ ಮನಸಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ಥಾನವನ್ನು ಸಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿ ಪಡೆದಿದೆ.
