Hari-Hara de pie

late 7th–early 8th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 245
Existe evidencia escultórica de que un culto dedicado a Hari–Hara, deidad sincrética que combina los aspectos y poderes de Visnú (Hari) y Shiva (Hara), alcanzó gran popularidad en el delta del Mekong (sudeste asiático continental) durante los siglos VII y VIII. La veneración de ambas deidades masculinas hindúes en un solo culto ofrecía ventajas obvias para los reyes locales que habían adoptado recientemente la cultura hindú. Este icono destinado al culto regio, ejemplo del estilo pre-angkoriano de Prasat Andet, tenía en sus orígenes una superficie pulimentada. El tercer ojo vertical en la frente y el cabello enmarañado y recogido en un moño son características de Shiva, y la mitra cónica carente de decoración es uno de los distintivos de Visnú en el periodo pre–angkoriano.
