The Wheel
August 8, 2007
I am not sure where this wheel is going to go in the temple, but it is beautifully carved from a single piece of stone. The center hole is so perfectly round that it could be used as a real wheel! It is about 4 1/2 feet tall.
If you look closely you can see that each of the spokes has a round symbol at the center of the wheel. Each one is the sign of the zodiac. You can easily locate the fish of Pisces at the top, the crab for Cancer, the lion or Leo, the scales for Libra, the scorpion for Scorpio, the bow and arrow for Saggitarius, and if you look closely, the crocodile that jyotish uses for Capricorn (Makar in Sanskrit).
