Alasa Nayika (Alasa Kanya)

The literal meaning of Alasa-Nayika is 'lazy young maidens,' associated with youthfulness and fertility. Her portrayal suggests that she is intended to enchant the viewers with her sensual attractiveness. She is also known as Surasundari or Madanika and often combines aesthetics and mythology to show the divine link between the earthly and heavenly worlds. It is also believed that she is a personified form of various facets of performing arts. The Chennakeshwara temple of Belur, Karnataka, has magnificent depictions of Alasa Nayika or Madanika.
