Hindu Gods Play Chess

You know that your blogging activity is teetering on the brink when you can only manage one post in a single week. Last week we had Real Chess Villages (March 2024), as the weekly post in a Monday series on AI comics. The prompt for the image in that post was 'Chess village Kerala' and I ended the post saying,

Although I'm no expert on [India], never having visited, the village structures and the villagers' clothing look to me to be decidedly Indian.

What to do a week later? Let's follow that up with some images related to Indian Hindu culture. Non sequiturs 'R' Us.

One of the parameters to control the look of the image is 'comic style', of which there are currently 13. For this image I chose the 'Flying Saucer' style. I'm not sure what comic series this refers to, assuming there was/is one, but it reminded me of a weird derivative of the UFO community, the Vimana (wikipedia.org). That Wikipedia page starts,

Vimana are mythological flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics.

Flying saucer, flying palace, flying chariot. It all depends on what you consider normal.
