In general, the art of the period is characterized by the blend of Hindu, Buddhist, and indigenous iconographic styles. Artistic production from this period is distinguished by the prevalence of demonic sculpture and masks and skull designs based on religious concepts in Tantric texts. Examples of artistic production from this period include the Bhairava figure, a demonic rendition of Shiva adorned with skulls and accompanied by buffalo in twisted positons, and Ganesha statues decorated with skulls. Temples in this period reflect the styles of Tantric magic temples in Nepal and feature tiered, slender constructions. Singhasari singhasari 2026-03-30 21:02:05
