first sight, you might feel like you are looking at two statues. But the fact
is that they are carved out on a single block of wood with two figures on

Jainism traditionally known as the Jina śāsana or Jain
dharma, is a South Asian religion.
The word "Jain" derives from the Sanskrit
word jina (conqueror). A human being who has conquered all inner passions like
attachment, desire, anger, pride, greed, etc. and therefore, possesses pure
infinite knowledge (Kevala Jnana) is called Jina. Followers of the path practiced
and preached by the jinas are known as Jains.

There are different vahanas used in the Tirumala temple
for the use of the lord. Some of them are very old and ancient and some of them
quite modern. Even the antique ones have been so repaired and renovated through
the ages that their original features could not be differentiated.
Following are the miniature replicas from the TTD Srivari
museum from Tirupathi.
Sarvabhupala vahana or Vimana vahana
