Summary

Description

Sculpture (appelée Bishworup au Népal) montrant Vishnou avec dix têtes et dix bras , au-dessus de sa représentation couchée sur le serpent Ananta (Narayan) dans la cour du temple de Changu Narayan


___________

Le temple de Changu Narayan est considéré comme le plus vieux du Népal, il possède un toit en forme de pagode à 2 étages. Il a été reconstruit probablement au XVIIème siècle mais avec des éléments architecturaux et décoratifs beaucoup plus anciens.

Ce temple dédié à Narayan est au sommet d'une montagne considérée comme sacrée depuis 464 après notre ère comme en atteste une référence écrite à ce site qui date du règne du roi Licchavi Mandeva mais le site était probablement sacré depuis le 3ème siècle.

Dans la cosmologie hindoue, Vishnou lorsqu'il repose sur le serpent Ananta (Shesha) est appelé Nârâyana (Narayan) c'est à dire "Reposant sur les eaux" ou "Demeure-de-l'Homme" ou encore "Demeure-du-savoir". Nârâyana, qui signifie aussi "Refuge universel", est une des 24 images de Vishnou d'après le Rupa Mandana.
