Summary
[edit]Description0012423 Hindu temple group ruins and Samat Sarna, Dipadih Chhattisgarh 365.jpg |
English: Dipadih is a village and archaeological site at the junction of rivers Kanhar and Gakphula in north Chhattisgarh.
Mounds and ruins of many groups of Hindu and Jain temples are scattered here over about 50 square kilometers. These range from the 8th to 13th-century, with occasional find of Gupta and post-Gupta era artwork. This region has seven major temple groups and over sixty minor temple – evidence that Dipadih area was once a major Hindu and Jain pilgrimage site, likely on an ancient trade route. One of the oldest and largest collection of ruins are locally referred to as the Prachin Shiva temple and Samat Sarna museum. These are from the 8th to 9th-century. There are over twenty miniature temples and nine major temple platforms. Some of these platforms have a part of the original temple standing. The collection also includes pillars, sanctum doorway, many Ganga and Yamuna goddesses, Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, Ramayana, Mahabharata and other secular Hindu panels. The ruins show evidence of both erosion and deliberate mutilation (beheading, defacement, chopped limbs). A few of statues and temple sanctum doorway discovered buried in flood silt are also on display. These are nicely preserved, showing beautiful details. |
