it's significant that religions in SEA are tolerant towards each other that they try to preserve artefacts from other religions #hwc111 #c24

@ReginaPangUGC @BillTanUGC @archaicnoodle @DylanNgUGC all the deities in our thread had more than a pair of arms indicating their ability to multi-task to convey superhuman powers

SEA plays a key role in international trade due to the straits and strategic ports located within our shores #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

still accustomed to Hindu culture but not necessarily beliefs (which is also practiced amongst local Malays) #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

Lastly, Javanese culture is/was RICH&DIVERSE in culture&religion seeing that majority of people are now Muslims but are... #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

Moreover since she is a queen of divine origin and is a human incarnation of god on earth? Human form = weaker than God form? #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

Would goddess Parvati be as significant without her 2 children deities and Shiva's vehicle bull as her support? #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

This suggests that Parvati is a stronger figure with the support of the above-mentioned deities by her side #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

Interesting to note that elephant deity+war god on the sides are her children; thus their smaller size compared to Parvati #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

Furthermore, the fact that Hindu goddess Parvati the biggest figure suggest that her role is most prominent #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

It intrigues me that despite the differences of figures, their closeness suggest that they work closely together #hwc111 #c24

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

There is so much going on,with 4 distinct figures making up this sculpture. Bull,Hindu goddess,elephant-headed deity&god of war #hwc111 #c24

Posthumous Portrait of a Queen as Parvati (Eastern Javanese period, 14th century) #javanese #indonesia #hwc111 #c24

This text proved significant to show us Ibn Battuta extensive experience and encounters through his travels #hwc111 #c23

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

The fact that there was migration to Aden proved that the port's economy was flourishing and trade routes established #hwc111 #c23

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

It also shows how well traveled people were at that period of time seeing that parts came from various countries! #hwc111 #c23

[Khairunnisa Fazlur R @nisaUGC]

Al Jazari's elephant clock still amazes me till this day #hwc111 #c23
