Sirpam Ondru Vadivam Irandu / சிற்பம் ஒன்று வடிவம் இரண்டு  (Tamil, Paperback, Dr. K. Dakshinamoorthy Sthapati Ph.D)

This book highlights the discovery, made for the first time after thirteen centuries, that the Pallava King Rajasimha immortalized himself in a dual sculpture at the Kailasanathar Temple in Kanchipuram. Sculptures featuring dual representations within a single figure are exceedingly rare in history. In this tradition, the book explores how King Rajasimha, seated at the entrance of the Kailasanathar Temple in Kanchipuram, ingeniously represented himself in a way that is difficult for others to perceive, akin to a figure within another. Using linguistic and sculptural grammar, the author confirms this unique interpretation of the king's self-portrait in the temple.
