Cultural Architecture: Naga Imagery

atlaculture

Along with the motif of lotus petal-shaped flames, both Roku’s Fire Temple and the Sun Warrior’s Temple share naga (नाग) imagery. Nagas are divine or semi-divine serpentine creatures in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. In many Southeast Asian cultures, they are portrayed as multi-headed snakes with long horns. These portrayals are especially common among the many Buddhist and Hindu temples of mainland Southeast Asia. Similarly, naga imagery appears on the sanctuary doors of Roku’s Fire Temple and, more abstractly, on the celestial calendar of the Sun Warrior’s Temple.

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas

People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively

“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….
