The Epitome of power, yali is a guardian spirit that protects and ameliorates the mental and spiritual health of a person. Yali has been worshipped and considered an eminent creature in South India for centuries. The prominence of this mythological creature emerged thousands of years ago in the era of the Chola dynasty. Due to the symbolism of strength and protection, they carry within, yalis are carved on the pillars or walls at the entrance gateways of temples. Over time, the Yali motif became an integral part of South Indian temple architecture, evolving in its symbolism and artistic representation. It has been passed down through generations of artisans and craftsmen, who continue to create intricate Yali sculptures to this day.
