Mohenjodaro ‘Dancing Girl’ is Parvati, claims ICHR journal

[Grevion]

My Kitty Cat left me
Angel Cat is all I have and I have bought 7 Kg PurePet cat food for her =3=.
She is the only Cat who is yet to have babies and always ends up in fight with Male cats . I wonder Why

If you feed her that much then how could be male cats interested in a fat cat. Tell her to diet and be slim. If that doesn't works then maybe she's not just into male cats.

She will get slim , since we have stopped leaving food outside for ancestors .
Same with the neighbors .
So she has to go for hunt to far off places and run for life from Dogs .
She is not a Fighter . Other Male and Female Cats are more dominating at looks and actions .
She also has recently started meowing , when I am too close . I used to think , she can't meow .

A month ago I caught Kittens of another cat . LOL I caught it by tail and it was up side down hissing , trying to bite and scratch me but the poor fellow couldn't reach my hands .

What's your theory?

This is interesting. I've always just assumed she was a dancing girl. But maybe she's begging? Soliciting?

Why do you think that she is begging or soliciting? Is there anything in her posture that suggests either?

To me, she looks like a teenaged girl defiantly challenging an authority figure.

Of course, artistic interpretation is always subjective, and your interpretation is as good (or bad) as mine.

The arm extended with palm upward. = Begging.

The hand on hip with tilt of pelvis. = Soliciting.

Just theories that come from watching people. Albeit thousands of years into the future.

What's next the statue of Pazuzu is also an indian pantheon?

Once my Friend on another Forum told me that the Map of Pakistan looks like a T Rex and Map of United South Asia looks like a Unicorn .

Unicorn and Pegasus .
Both are Mythical beings with one similarity . They are both Ripoffs of Horse

If they were real as stories and Seals depict then only one cause of their extinctions comes to mind , HUMANS

Is this a feminine suspense thing?

Lol
Not that. I had to finish some work
So let's get back to the topic>>>
That's a female just being herself. A female being herself and not performing,
is that such a bad idea?
Can't say what exactly her posture means but it's definitely not begging because her expressions don't support that theory.
Soliciting? I don't think so.
She's a teenager, loved to adorn herself with necklaces and bangles. Prolly 18-19.
Since it's a very tiny figurine (4'-5' tall) and her expressions aren't clear, so it is difficult to make out if she's smiling or not.

But I'm definitely sure this is just the posture you will see a village woman standing in when waiting for something...or when watching something.
It most prolly was a part of a set of figurines. Just a guess! It looks incomplete to me unless it had more figurines to complete the series. I hope the site was excavated well, this was found way back in 1920's.
Even to this day I have heard ppl steal the bricks of site around Mohanjodaro.

I heard Pakistan is demanding the statue back. I wonder why?
They would never be able to relate to it for theirs is a very conservative society. At the same time in india Khajaraho temples to Ajanta Elora caves have such figurines that we can relate to.
Our outlook has always been very rational.

I don't mean to compare the 2 cultures.

Your point about it being a part of a tableaux makes a lot of sense. Though again, the bit about the bangles and no clothes? Was it village girls by a pond going for a swim? I wonder if Pakistanis have really observed her features closely before jumping to claim kinship. She looks like a Andhra girl to me.

Some call her Balochi.

Heard of tantra sect which @Kashmiri Pandit was hinting at? It could be that too. Like a ritual being conducted when teenager hits puberty which is common in India even now. Being fertile was honourable back then.

Anyways....most likely this thread too will become a tharki thread or someone might accuse us of discussing titillating stuff on the forum.
May be on a better platform with more matured readers and posters this subject can be discussed.

Ciao

Further, to prove Shiva worship in the Indus Valley Civilisation, Verma states that the trefoil pattern seen on the shawl of the ‘Priest King’, another iconic sculpture excavated from Mohenjodaro, is sign that the king was the follower of a Hindu god. The trefoil pattern, he says, resembles the Vilva or Bilva leaves that are used to worship Shiva today.

The author then goes on to claim that the Dancing Girl is Parvati because “where there is Shiva, there should be Shakti”, a manifestation of the Goddess, though “till date, no one has identified any idol or statue of Parvati in Harappan Civilisation”.

Researcher uncle ki umar aa gayi hai ...koi unko haridwar drop kar aao...

Kya bakwaas laga rakha hai ...Where there is shiv there would be shakti...sooner he will say other findings will be shivs gans, bhoots and pisachs...

Not only they insult themselves, make bigger indian community feel insulted too ...

One unique thing about Hinduism is that it can absorb most religious figures into it and make that figure Hindu.
Just like how Gautam Buddha was absorted as another avatar of Lord Vishnu.

That is why Hindus are unfit to rule other minorities. You take away religious identity of minorities and make them Hindu. eg. Sikhism.
