Summary
[edit]Description005162023 Manimahesha temple, Brahmour Himachal Pradesh.jpg |
English: The Manimahesha temple at Bharmaur, sometimes spelled as Manimaheshwar mandir of Brahmaur, is a 7th to 8th century Hindu temple in upper Himalayas, northern Himachal Pradesh. It is the largest temple in Bharmaur.
This Shiva temple is mentioned in inscriptions as well as in Chamba Vamsavali and several copper plate grants found in Chamba valley. The earliest inscription, however, mention a more elaborate temple with mandapa and other structures – likely made from wood and lost from decay. The Indologist Vogel states that perhaps the oldest version of this temple was also made of wood, lost and rebuilt in stone form few centuries later it now survives. Vogel and Shanti Nagar – scholars known for their studies on Himalayan temples – agree that the Nandi, Shiva linga and statues in the sanctum are likely from 7th to 8th century. The Manimahesa temple of Bharmour is built from square blocks of carved stone. Its entrance is flanked by Ganga and Yamuna goddesses. |
