  • Icons of Shasta, Buddha and Ayyappa: Paradigms of Paradoxical Identifications and Sectarian Associations
    Icons of Shasta, Buddha and Ayyappa: Paradigms of Paradoxical Identifications and Sectarian Associations Ajit Kumar1 1. Department of Archaeology, University of Kerala, Kariavattom Campus, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala – 695581, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 18 August 2019; Revised: 28 September 2019; Accepted: 25 October 2019 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 7 (2019): 233-251 Abstract: Icons of Shasta, Ayyappa and Buddha are found from ancient Tamilakam (Kerala and Tamil Nadu) in large numbers. Religious biases, beliefs, and ignorance of iconography have often resulted in the paradoxical identification and divergent sectarian association of these divinities and their icons. This paper attempts a reappraisal of images of Shasta, Buddha and Ayyappa with a view to dissect and present their individualistic iconographic temperaments. Keywords: Shasta, Ayyappa, Buddha, Icons, Mural Paintings, Sabarimala Temple, Kerala Introduction Shasta etymologically means ‘a ruler or guardian of a country or land.’ Shasta, as a deity, is not found referred to in any early Sanskrit texts (Rao 1914: 485). He was a minor deity in Tamilakam and finds mention in Devaram hymns dating to 6th-7th CE (Sarkar 1978: 109). Seated idols of Shasta, without consorts and elephant dating to as early as the 8th -9th century CE, are found from the premises of a few temples in Kerala (Sarkar: 108-111). Later, texts like Sri Bhagavatam, Amsumadhbhedagama, and Suprabhedagama cites Shasta as Hariharaputra, a progeny of Shiva and Vishnu. Buddha idols contemporaneous to Shasta idols found from Kerala are seated in Padmasana and Dhyana mudra. Shasta and Buddha idols have no iconographic or stylistic similarity with each other though Amarakosha assigns the name Shasta to Buddha as a synonym (Kumar 2019a: 51-58).

Whether the exclusionary practice which is based upon a biological factor exclusive to the female gender amounts to "discrimination" and thereby violates the very core of Articles 14, 15 and 17 and not protected by ‘morality’ as used in Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution? 2. Whether the practice of excluding such women constitutes an "essential religious practice" under Article 25 and whether a religious institution can assert a claim in that regard under the umbrella of right to manage its own affairs in the matters of religion? 3. Whether Ayyappa Temple has a denominational character and, if so, is it permissible on the part of a 'religious denomination' managed by a statutory board and financed under Article 290-A of the Constitution of India out of Consolidated Fund of Kerala and Tamil Nadu can indulge in such practices violating constitutional principles/ morality embedded in Articles 14, 15(3), 39(a) and 51-A(e)?

  • Myths Surrounding Menstruation: Breaking the Stereotypes
    Indraprastha Law Review Summer 2020: Vol. 1: Issue 1 Myths Surrounding Menstruation: Breaking the Stereotypes Bhumika Verma1 Abstract Equality of Status and of Opportunity and to Promote among them all- these values are enshrined in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, but even after 70 years of Independence, we still see unequal treatment of women, especially in Rural Areas. Women have to suffer a lot in their life. On one hand, people personally want women of Indian society to get empowered but on the other hand, they don’t want to get rid of their illogical and irrelevant customs, faith, and belief that is doing nothing but only proving to be cancerous to the society. Not only women need to be empowered when it comes to education, economic problems, poverty, etc. but also it is necessary to get them out of the chain of myths and taboos in which they are entangled from the origin of mankind. The current paper aims to discuss menstruation-related myths prevalent in India, their impact on women’s lives, the relevance of addressing these issues in primary care, and a brief description of various strategies to combat them. Mostly women of rural areas do not have proper access to sanitary napkins or tampons. It is not only the physical health of a woman that is affected by these practices; mental health is also at stake. The recent Sabarimala judgement paved a path in changing the mind-set. The paper also describes the condition of women in Nepal which is even worse than in India.
