Hey guys, today we are going in search of a very mysterious cave in a hill called Aalurutti malai. You can see the arrow mark that tells us to go through the gate, it gets less than 5 visitors a year, but some people claim this cave has 5000-year-old carvings. The area, even though protected by archeological department of India has thick overgrown bushes making it nearly impossible to go through. And, suddenly, you can see some carvings at a distance. We can see 2 carvings on the rock face, and a huge cave underneath.
Who are these 2 figures? Lord Buddha? It is very hard to identify them when you look at it from the ground level, they are carved at a height of about 20 feet. First, I am going to remove my shoes and then, we are going to use a drone to observe the details.
These are not Buddhist carvings; these belong to an ancient religion called Jainism. The central figure in this rectangle could be Lord Mahavira, in deep meditative state. On the sides, you can see 2 attendants holding something weird. What are they? Archeologists say this is a fly-whisk, called Chamara, very similar to a hand-made fan. Perhaps this is a convincing theory because today, some people use fly whisks in religious sites.
But your eyes may be naturally attracted to these animals, they look like Chinese dragons, right? On the left, there is a smiling dragon, and on the right, this one has an angry face. They are definitely not lions, because they have horns. But there are 2 more animals hiding in this carving. Can you tell me what they are? Yes, there are 2 snakes carved on either side of the chair. You can also say it is a 2-headed snake sharing one body. But you can see feathers on the head here. On the other side, you can see the same detail, a feathered snake’s head. The feathered serpent is not only worshipped in India, but also worshipped by Mayans of Mexico. This Mayan God is called Kukulkan or Quetzalcoatl. And in many Mayan sites, you can see the exact same iconography, where a feathered snake’s head alone is carved, with an open mouth.
