00:00 We can see this lion's face outside many temples in our area.
00:04 This is a deity called Sekhamet.
00:06 He is an Egyptian deity.
00:07 His face is a lion.
00:10 He is a god of destruction.
00:11 The Nile River is considered to be the most important river in Egypt.
00:14 Before the Nile River,
00:16 a symbol of prosperity was built for ancient Egypt.
00:20 On the doors of the temples,
00:21 two women are depicted as the symbol of the Ganges and Yamuna.
00:27 These women have been present in the rivers of the world's oldest culture.
00:32 Hello, I am Vinayak Parabdhan,
00:49 and you are watching LokSapta.com's Ghost of Mumbai.
00:51 We see many things in Mumbai.
00:55 One of the most important things is that Mumbai is a city of multilingual people.
01:00 The majority of Marathi people live here.
01:03 It is a village,
01:05 but multilingual people also come here in large numbers.
01:08 The world-class city is a symbol of this.
01:12 We can see this in the context of ancient culture.
01:16 We can see that the oldest city in the world
01:20 and the oldest culture in the world
01:23 had a village in it, and the different cultures
01:27 came together to form a city.
01:29 The influence of all these things on the world's culture
01:32 has been preserved.
01:34 In Mumbai, we can understand the influence of the world
01:38 and this is the message that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Bastu has conveyed.
01:44 A very important thing, a very important exhibition
01:48 is currently being held here.
01:50 The name of this exhibition is Ancient Culture, Ancient City,
01:54 Ancient Art, Ancient Art.
01:57 We can understand the influence of the world
02:00 through all these things in Mumbai.
02:03 (Music)
02:08 (Music)
02:36 Ancient culture, as it is said,
02:38 the world's tradition of ancient culture
02:40 goes back approximately 6,000 years.
02:43 The ancient evidence of this,
02:46 the evidence of the art or the artistic evidence,
02:49 is still available in the world.
02:51 These are available in the various museums of the world.
02:56 But these world-class museums
02:59 have sent their art to Mumbai.
03:02 And the influence of all this can be taken here in Mumbai.
03:07 Ancient culture, as it is said,
03:10 we remember Egypt, Greek, Roman, Assyrian,
03:14 and most importantly, our culture,
03:17 that is, the culture of India.
03:19 The mutual relationship of these ancient cultures was given.
03:23 Trade was the most important reason for it.
03:26 Because of these trades, the people used to come and go from here and there.
03:31 And different things were given in exchange.
03:34 It was not just the exchange of objects,
03:37 but the exchange of cultures.
03:39 Different ideas went from one culture to another.
03:45 It is often said in science
03:48 that even if a person is in two different places in the world,
03:51 the same person in the same time period
03:54 thinks in the same way.
03:57 And the research of all this, the research of scientific thought,
04:01 is taken from the medium of art.
04:04 And we are going to take that research in this section.
04:07 People who are in two different places in the world at the same time
04:11 generally think in the same way.
04:15 And we are seeing the reflection of that in this sculpture.
04:19 This sculpture was originally from the Ephesus in Turkestan.
04:24 And there was the temple of Artemis there.
04:27 Now, which god is Artemis?
04:29 He is the god of the jungle and the hunter.
04:31 So, the temple of Artemis,
04:33 outside that temple, there was a lion's face.
04:36 We can see this lion's face outside many temples in our country.
04:40 If we see this lion's face sculpture carefully,
04:43 we will realize that it is a very good sculpture.
04:47 We can see the art here.
04:49 However, after seeing this, we get scared many times.
04:53 Because this sculpture is outside the temples,
04:57 it is often seen as a protective deity.
05:00 Or it is seen as a protector.
05:03 But this is not just a scary thing.
05:05 If you look at the eyes of this sculpture carefully,
05:08 they are very big eyes.
05:10 If you look at the shape of it,
05:12 you will see that the hair is on the back.
05:14 It is a very good shape.
05:17 We saw that the temple we have,
05:19 the lion is seen outside the temples
05:23 as a protector or a guardian deity.
05:27 And in the Assyrian region,
05:30 which is an ancient culture,
05:32 we can see this lion outside the temple
05:36 as a protector deity.
05:38 We can see this god on my back.
05:40 He is a god named Sekhmet.
05:42 He is an Egyptian god.
05:44 The sculpture we see here
05:46 is approximately 3000 years old.
05:49 What is important is that
05:51 this god is a lion-faced god.
05:54 If we look closely,
05:55 his face is a lion.
05:57 And this god is a god of violence.
06:01 He is a god of violence and violence.
06:04 He is a god who is very violent.
06:08 But we often see in human culture
06:11 that if you make the gods happy,
06:14 they will remove the bad things
06:17 and become the gods of good things.
06:21 This Sekhmet god is a similar type of god.
06:24 So, the ancient sculptures
06:27 found in Egypt 3,500 years ago,
06:31 often have two sculptures.
06:34 The first sculpture is very upright.
06:39 The second sculpture is very calm.
06:45 The first sculpture is a symbol of calmness
06:49 and the second sculpture is a symbol of calmness.
06:53 Friends, we have said that
06:54 in two different cultures,
06:58 similar thoughts are expressed.
07:00 Do we find such a god in India?
07:03 No, we do not.
07:05 In India, we find a god named Nrusihi.
07:08 If you look at the description of Nrusihi,
07:13 it is described as a goddess with a lion on top
07:17 and a man's body on the bottom.
07:21 She is the same goddess.
07:24 She is also known as the goddess of bad luck.
07:27 She is described as a goddess who brings bad luck.
07:33 She is also known as the goddess of bad luck.
07:37 She is also known as the goddess of bad luck.
07:39 But later, it is said that
07:45 if she is not pleased,
07:47 she will do something bad.
07:51 Both cultures are very long.
07:53 On one side is Egypt and on the other is India.
07:56 But we can see that
07:57 the same kind of thought is expressed in both cultures.
08:02 You may have noticed that
08:05 the human body is on the bottom
08:07 and the animal and bird on the top.
08:12 We can see such a thought in both cultures
08:15 in the form of different gods and goddesses.
08:20 On my left,
08:22 this sculpture is of Api.
08:24 This sculpture is from Egypt.
08:26 Again, Egypt is one of the ancient cultures.
08:30 The Nile River is considered to be the most important in Egypt.
08:33 The Poorh that comes to the Nile is very important.
08:37 Because if a poorh comes,
08:39 it brings with it many kinds of blessings.
08:45 The poorh that comes to the Nile
08:47 was a symbol of good luck for ancient Egypt.
08:51 The god of the poorh that comes to the Nile is Api.
08:55 She was its goddess.
08:57 That is why Api is described as the goddess of good luck.
09:01 We can see different kinds of gods.
09:04 How do we know that this is the god of good luck?
09:07 The god has flowers,
09:10 trees,
09:11 and a lemon.
09:13 He also has a mouse-like creature called Ghuz.
09:18 What does this god do with all these?
09:21 The god named Amundra,
09:23 who is also known as the god of gods,
09:25 or we may call him Indra
09:28 or the king of gods,
09:29 he is the god of gods.
09:32 The god of gods is also known as Api.
09:35 She is the symbol of good luck.
09:37 This is the way it is described.
09:39 All the ancient gods in the world
09:41 are associated with good luck.
09:46 Which god is associated with good luck?
09:50 If we look at our ancient temples,
09:53 we will see that on the doors of the temples,
09:57 two women are depicted as the symbol of Ganga and Yamuna.
10:03 They are Ganga and Yamuna.
10:05 How do we know that?
10:06 They have a pot in their hands,
10:09 a pot or a pot,
10:11 and we believe that the water of Ganga or Yamuna is in it.
10:15 All the ancient cultures in the world
10:17 are present in the pores of these rivers.
10:20 When we look at the history of civilization in India,
10:24 we realize that
10:26 the second largest civilization in India
10:28 is in the Ganges.
10:30 The Ganges that is on the entrance of the temples
10:34 or on the outside of the temples,
10:37 is a symbol of good luck.
10:40 We have understood the four different styles of architecture.
10:45 We have also understood
10:48 how the people of two different clans
10:53 think in a similar way.
10:56 All these are true.
10:58 But in today's episode,
11:00 we have understood only four styles of architecture.
11:02 In the upcoming episodes,
11:04 we will understand the ancient styles of architecture.
11:07 Till then, subscribe to the Lok Satya Live YouTube channel.
