Hampi - Kamadeva carved in stone on a pillar at Vijayvitthala Temple. 13th Century (with Frame)

Hampi's Vijayvitthala Temple, adorned with a captivating stone-carved sculpture of Kamadeva from the 13th century, becomes a focal point for artist and fine art photographer Hemant Medhi. This intricately crafted representation of Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love, desire, and pleasure, emerges as a timeless masterpiece alongside his consort Rati. Hemant, armed with his Hasselblad Medium Format Camera, courageously embarked on a photographic journey to immortalize this divine artwork. Remarkably, he chose to capture the essence of Kamadeva without the aid of a tripod, relying solely on his exceptional skill and passion. Hemant's photograph not only captures the delicate features and exquisite craftsmanship of the 14th-century artisans but also plays with light and shadow, bringing the stone sculpture to life. In a world constantly evolving, Hemant Medhi's lens preserves the beauty of the KAMDEV sculpture, emphasizing the importance of cherishing our cultural heritage. This visual narrative serves as a powerful reminder, inviting us to reflect on the enduring legacy of Indian art and culture, celebrating the stories woven into the stones of Hampi.
