Summary
[edit]Description0102221 Chaubara Dera 2 Digambara Jain temple, Un Madhya Pradesh 142.jpg |
English: The Chaubara Dera number 2 temple is an 12th-century Jain temple in Un village. It is a large, elegantly carved temple on a huge platform. Given the dimensions and structure of the platform, it is likely that this site was a major Jain temple complex.
The Chaubara Dera 2 temple is badly damaged, the profuse artwork on its walls defaced or beheaded, its sikhara torn at some point of its history. Despite the damage, the preponderance of Jaina iconography such as standing Tirthankaras confirms that this was a Jain temple. The original name of this Jain temple is also unknown, and no inscriptions are available to make a guess. In the 19th-century, like most sites in Un, portions of this temple were overrun by vegetation and covered under a mound. The locals called it as Chaubara Dera 2 (lit. "camp or mound with mandapa open on four sides"), for the same reasons as Chaubara Dera 1. Limited excavations and restoration efforts revealed predominantly Digambara Jain statues near this temple. These have been moved to a museum. The temple has been reinforced and restored for visitor safety. This beautiful temple blends Gurjara-Chalukyan and Paramara styles of architecture. It faces north, had a large mandapa, an antarala and a square plan garbhagriya. The presence of the gajathara and narathara motifs, in styles found in Gujarat temples, suggests that this is a post-Kumarapala temple from late 12th-century. |
