Summary
[edit]Description0111421 Dhamnar Dharmanatha group of rock-cut Nagara temples, Chandwasa 119.jpg |
English: The Dharmrajeshwar group of rock-cut Hindu temples, also referred to as the Dharmanatha temple or Dhamnar Brahmanical Caves, are monolithic rock-cut temples excavated out of the laterite rock about 200 feet north of the Dhamnar Buddhist Caves.
The excavated pit is 170 feet long, 66 feet broad, and 30 feet deep. The architect and artisans cut the rock in such a way that the rock left at designated corners and the middle of the pit emerged into a Hindu temples complex dedicated to Vishnu. The group has one main large temple and seven smaller subsidiary shrines. They also created a gradient such that the rainwater flows out without flooding the temples or the courtyard. They also provided multiple entries and exits, as well as tunnels. The passages are such that they guide the walk yet suddenly reveal the complex to the pilgrim. As with all major Hindu temples complexes, the Dharmrajeshwar group includes Hindu iconography from all major traditions: Vaishnavism, Shaivism (e.g. Nataraja) and Shaktism (e.g. Kali). This complex is notable for being one of only two known historic examples of rock-cut monolithic Nagara-architecture Hindu temples in India. The other example is found in Masrur, Himachal Pradesh. |
