Description4th to 9th-century CE artwork at the Salihundam Museum, Salihundam archaeological site, Andhra Pradesh - 7.jpg
Salihundam – also called Kattaharama , Salipasaka or Salipataka in ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts – is now a village located along the Vamsadhara River as it meets the Bay of Bengal in northeastern Andhra Pradesh.
Salihundam is located in a hilly region that hosted a major sea port in the 1st millennium CE, as well as several important Buddhist, Hindu and Jaina sites.
Excavations here have unearthed significant finds of coins, ancient wares and other evidence linking its trade activity, indirectly or directly, with southeast Asian ports, as well those to the Middle East and the Romans. These excavations have also uncovered artworks (statues, reliefs) that show a co-existence of Buddhist, Hindu and Jaina iconography. Some of these items have been moved to larger museums, as well as some are now preserved in the Salihundam museum near the Salihundam Buddhist remains site.
Salihundam site along with nearby Buddhist sites in Srikakulam are notable for the discoveries relating to Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions. These findings suggest that Salihundam and nearby region of Andhra Pradesh was a cradle where North Indian Buddhism and South Indian Buddhism fused around the middle of the 1st millennium CE.
Among the Jaina artwork found nearby include major statues and bas-reliefs of Jain Tirthankaras.
Among the Hindu artwork found nearby include those of Shakti, Shaiva and Vishnu traditions. Some of the iconography of Vajrayana Buddhism found here are quite similar to those of Hindu iconography of the 1st millennium CE.
Above: Marici is a Vajrayana Buddhist goddess (in some versions a god) who is found in north India, Tibet. China and Japan. The deity has an iconography quite similar to Hindu Surya god pulled by seven horses and led by Aruna. Marici, as found in East Asia, is generally sitting on a boar or pig, or is on a chariot pulled by seven boars or pigs or bears. The deity wields weapons on many arms. When with Tara, she is also called Asokakanta. The above image is notable as she is shown pulled by horses at the bottom. This is likely an early version of the artwork, given its similarities with Surya iconography and Salihundam being a part of Kalinga, where numerous beautiful Surya temples are found.
