She is the goddess of the sun, but also of the universe. The name Amaterasu derived from Amateru meaning 'shining in heaven'. The meaning of her whole name, Amaterasu-omikami, is 'the great august kami (God) who shines in the heaven'. The Emperor of Japan is said to be a direct descendant of Amaterasu. Ama-no-Iwato () literally means 'The cave of the sun goddess' or 'heavenly rock cave'. In Japanese mythology, Susanoo, the Japanese god of the seas, was the one who drove Amaterasu into Ame-no-Iwato. This caused the sun to hide for a long period of time. In order to get Amaterasu out of the cave the other gods threw a party outside. When she heard the noise she got curious and peeked but got blinded by the mirror Yata no Kagami and so she thought they were celebrating the arrival of an even greater and brighter goddess tJapan, Honshu, Tokyo, Asakusa, Sensoji Temple aka Asakusa Kannon Temple, Ceiling PaintingPainting of devotee sitting in front of gopura golden cupola Copyright: xHimalayanxAcademy/DinodiaxPhotoxReligious Frescos, Thikse Monastery, Ladakh, North West IndiaBuddha sculpture in Jade Buddah Temple, Shanghai, ChinaAbstract watercolor Christmas scene illustration representing the holy family with Joseph Mary and baby Jesus.

King Rama I (1736 - 1809) or Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke renovated the temple and renamed it Wat Saket. The Golden Mount (Phu Khao Thong) is a steep hill inside the Wat Saket compound. It is not a natural outcrop, but an artificial hill built during the reign of Rama III (1787 - 1851) or King Jessadabodindra.

It describes the relationship between Krishna and the gopis (female cow herders) of Vrindavana, and in particular one gopi named Radha. This work has been of great importance in the development of the bhakti traditions of Hinduism. The Gita Govinda is organized into twelve chapters. Each chapter is further sub-divided into twenty four divisions called Prabandhas. The prabandhas contain couplets grouped into eights, called Ashtapadis. The text also elaborates the eight moods of Heroine, the Ashta Nayika in its verses, which over the years has been an inspiration for many compositions and choreographic works in Indian classical dance.Cuba, Trinidad, Colourful Stained Glass Window Of Man Smoking A CigarMargery Parish, Retablo, c 1937 RetabloFate Plays a Hand 2003 Gerry Charm (20th C.
