❤About Kirtimukha
Thus Kirtimukha is a symbol of Shiva himself.
The Kirtimukha or ‘Face of Glory’, is a ferocious monster face with protruding eye-balls, huge fangs and gaping mouth found in temple architecture allover Asia. The Kirthimukha is a protector deity, a guardian warding the edifices off all evils.
Kirti is derived from the Sanskrit root krit, meaning ‘celebrating, praising’. Mukha means ‘face’. Kirti in Sanskrit also means ‘temple’.
The motif is often found on the lintels of the gates, at the corners of the pillars, surmounting the pinnacle of a temple tower or in the iconography of a deity. It is present in all forms of Asian art:
• In India the Kirtimukha is generally a lion form, sometimes known as Simha-mukha. In Orissa, they are called Rahur-Mukher-Mala. In Gujarat, the Kirtimukha is often called Graspati.
• In China it is a dragon form with a python’s body and a demon head, known as taotie (‘Monster of Greed’).
• In Tibetan Buddhism, the Kirtimukha are the Buddha’s guardians.
