Kotravai Sculpture
The Kotravai sculptures, dating back to the Pallava and early Pandyan periods, were discovered in various locations across Tamil Nadu, India. These significant archaeological finds, about 1200 years old, represent the goddess of war and victory in Tamil culture. The sculptures vary in size and features but commonly exhibit intricate craftsmanship and symbolic details like the ancient soldier helmet crown, elliptical face, thick lips, and various traditional ornaments. These discoveries by Raj Paneerselvam, R Udayaraja, and others offer profound insights into the religious practices and cultural heritage of ancient Tamil Nadu.
