During Chola India Standing Parvati was produced. Standing Parvati is a bronze statue from India. It is from the Chola period in the 10th century. Standing Parvati was used as an idol worshiped by the Hindu people.
The Statue is of a Hindu goddess. She's most commonly known as Parvati but has many names. Uma, Durga, and Kalima are only some of them; with each name she takes several different forms and is reincarnated in them. She is admired by the Hindu worshippers as the "Divine Mother". She is an independent goddess of her own rights. In the Hindu culture, Parvati shows all aspects of the perfect woman. Therefore she is widely praised by Hindu women of the Chola period and still is today. Parvati is the wife of the god Shiva. Shiva is the destroyer that controls balance. She has two children, Ganesha and Skanda. Ganesha is the elephant headed god, he is the god of beginnings and ends.

The statue of Parvati is a bronze figure with a mountain like crown also called karandamukuta. She is standing in a tribhanga fashion with a sway in the hips. She holds one arm up and one arm down in a dramatic fashion. Images of Parvati are usually with Shiva. This suggests that this sculpture may have been placed to the left of an image of Shiva, but was later separated. She is wearing luxurious jewelry and a diaphanous skirt secured with a heavy belt, both of which shows her sensual volumes. The whole idea of this statue shows perfection with realistic details in an abstract form.
This sculpture was made in the 10 century of the Chola period in India. In 985 the Chola dynasty conquered the Pallava dynasty in South India. They took...
World war 2: what I know assume or imagine
What I Know, Assume, or Imagine. My topic is on the major turning points in World War 2. I am researching World War two because I find history very fascinating and this is a historical event I've always been interested in but never really took the time to learn about it.
I know that a big part of World War two had to do with Hitler and Mussolini
wanting to gain more power and control the world. Because of Hitler's constant
nagging the governments of other countries gave him land, when he promised he
would stop asking for things after he go them he would always come back for
more and ended up getting what he wanted by throwing tantrums. The war mostly
involved the European countries except for the united states which got extremely
involved after the pearl harbor attack. With the French and every other allied
country in the mainland out of the way Germany set its main objective on taking
control of Great Britain. After losing many air battles the German army was
stopped from there almost for sure chance of world victory, this was a turning
point in the war that caused devastation with the axis side.
During the research portion of this paper I would like to find out: could this
all have been prevented? Was war necessary? What were Hitler's intentions<Tab/>after
domination? Where were the major battles that took place? What were the turning
points of the war? If America did not get involved what was planned against the
U.S. after the European nations were all crushed? Without tanks would the
German army have been as successful?
I will research my topic by going to multiple history and war web sites. Talk
to any veterans I know. I will also search in school or public libraries for
information and at home. I will use any information that will be helpful in
completely explaining World War two.
