Shiva temple (next to the Chaturbhuji Vishnu temple)
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Budheswar and Chaturbhuji temples of Dhamdha are twin stone monuments in Dhamdha from the 13th or 14th century. The temples are among several major historic Hindu sites in Dhamdha, a former regional capital of a Kalachuri province in pre-Indo Islamic period. Others Dhamdha sites include a historic Shakti (goddess) tradition temple as well as ruins of a fort.
The Buddheswar temple is dedicated to Shiva, while the Chaturbhuj temple is dedicated to Vishnu. They stand between two manmade lakes excavated before the 13th-century. Both are damaged, suffered deliberate mutilation as evidenced by the ruins and defaced artwork within the complex. The shikhara (tower) of Shiva temple was torn down as some point of its history and its stones hauled away, while the Chaturbhuji temple is a partially restored plain Nagara-style temple. Both temples have a square plan and face west. The structure and ruins of Shiv temple show it was likely larger and more elaborately carved. Both are living temples and the site is managed and protected by ASI Raipur. |
