Hey guys, did you know there is a rule to have a Joker carved in all Hindu temples? We know that the only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. Yet, there is such a rule, it is not an option, all Hindu temples must have at least one carving of the Joker. How did such a crazy rule come into effect? This makes no sense, right? Did the British, force Indians to make such carvings during their occupation of India? Did they do this to discredit Hinduism? No, the carvings of the Joker are seen in very ancient temples, for example this is a 1300-year-old temple, and you can see the so-called Joker. Who is he? And why do they still carve this joker in temples?
Nobody knows about him today, and if you ask any expert or priest, they will refer to him simply as the Vidushaka, a sanskrit word that also means clown or a joker. Some experts argue that there is a lot of humor in ancient Indian carvings, so they dismiss this carving as just a joker or a clown. For instance, you can see a dancing woman here, and this guy has been watching her from the back while she is dancing, but she suddenly turns and reveals her face. And it is a man, even though he has some parts of the woman, this face reveal results in absolute horror for this guy. The sculptor actually carved a round hole in the mouth to show the shock, and look at this accomplice of the scammer, she is absolutely loving what’s going, unable to control her laughter. Because of carvings like these, we can easily dismiss this as a just another joker or a clown.
But there is a problem, why does he appear again and again in all the temples? Why is it mandatory to carve him in temples, and he doesn’t do anything, he just stands there with his strange breakdancing move.
The truth is, this forgotten figure is not a joker, he is a saint by the name of AstaVakra. And he is smiling, because it confuses people, he is smiling because it is easier than explaining what is killing him inside. He is not break dancing, he had a medical condition, called rickets. Deformity of the limbs is the result of extreme case of this disorder. When we look at actual patients suffering from rickets, we can see why he is shown like this in the carving. And that’s precisely what his name Astavakra means, it means 8 Bends or 8 curves, and the carvings accurately depict his 8 bends. Now here is a fun fact: A certain species of spider is named after him, these types are called Astavakra Sexmucronata, I mean you can definitely see why this 8-legged insect is named after him.
