| Yaksha & Yakshi |
Description
Now, this two sculpture that I want to discuss, it names Yaksha which is put at right side, and Yakshi which is put at left side. The first one I want to discuss is Yaksha, he is name of a broad class of nature-spirits. Yaksha and Yakshi are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and tree roots. They are appear in the India, Jain, and Buddhist mythology. From the research, I got it show that he has a dual personality in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist mythology. In other hand, he is an in good natural-god who is associated with woods and mountains；in another hand, he is a bad dark-evil like a kinds of ghost that called bhuta who is hunts the travelers. In Indian art, the indian artist draw the male yaksha as a fearsome warriors, the female yakshi as a beautiful young women. The another one I want to discuss is Yakshi. She is the counterpart of the male Yaksha. .Yakshi is often describes as a beatiful young woman. Althought Yakshi are kindly but there are also Yakshi as a malignancy characteristics in Indian folklore.
IMO: In my religion's buddhist mythology, the Yaksha is most describe as a ghost who is a hideous and malevolent spirit to eat people and can fly at the sky and can hide to hunt people. But I believe that Yaksha has dual personality because our buddhism believe that Yaksha is god and he also is a evil if Yaksha do wrong things to the people. Next, I found that in Indian, Buddhist, Jain, they all think Yakshi is a beautiful woman because she is the god look kindly and peacefully.
