Tapaneshwar

Charcoal work

This art piece draws inspiration from the exquisite Tapaneshwar temple Stepwell nestled in Panchagani, Maharashtra. Adorned with intricate details, this perfectly square-shaped structure channels water gracefully, flowing from the mouth of Nandi, the revered bull and vehicle of Lord Shiva. Imbued with an aura of serenity, the temple's surroundings evoke a sense of tranquility, enhanced by the presence of a sacred Shiva shrine nearby. Strewn amidst the tranquil ambience are remnants of broken idols, fragments of various Goddesses, each bearing witness to the passage of time and the enduring spiritual legacy of this sacred site.
