Sirpam Ondru Vadivam Irandu / சிற்பம் ஒன்று வடிவம் இரண்டு : Kanden Rajasimma pallavanai / கண்டேன் இராஜசிம்ம பல்லவனை

<p>This book highlights the discovery made for the first time after thirteen centuries that the Pallava King Rajasimha immortalized himself in a dual sculpture at the Kailasanathar Temple in Kanchipuram. Sculptures featuring dual representations within a single figure are exceedingly rare in history. In this tradition the book explores how King Rajasimha seated at the entrance of the Kailasanathar Temple in Kanchipuram ingeniously represented himself in a way that is difficult for others to perceive akin to a figure within another. Using linguistic and sculptural grammar the author confirms this unique interpretation of the king's self-portrait in the temple.</p>
