Note:
|
From the Asian Art Museum: "Sambandar, a Hindu poet-saint devoted to Shiva, is often shown as a child dancing in exultation." Additionally from the NMAA site: "The imagery of this dancing child closely resembles that of the well-known god Krishna, an incarnation of the god Vishnu who is also celebrated as a child."
