Have you ever noticed the fierce, monstrous face above temple entrances? This is Kirtimukha, the “Glorious Face,” a powerful symbol in Hindu temple architecture. But do you know its ancient legend and deep spiritual meaning?

📖 The Story Behind Kirtimukha:
Long ago, the demon king Jalandhara sent Rahu to challenge Lord Shiva and demand Goddess Parvati. In response, Shiva created a ferocious lion from his third eye. Fearing for his life, Rahu begged for mercy, and Shiva forgave him. But the lion remained hungry—so Shiva commanded it to devour itself, starting from its tail. The beast obeyed until only its face remained. Pleased, Shiva named it Kirtimukha and declared it would forever guard temple entrances, reminding all of the destructive power of ego.

🌟 Symbolism of Kirtimukha:
✔ Represents self-consumption & time’s cyclical nature
✔ Acts as a guardian, protecting temples from negativity
✔ Serves as a reminder to shed ego before entering sacred spaces

✨ Next time you visit a temple, look up and reflect on Kirtimukha’s wisdom! ✨
