Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Radhika Bihari temple is a Krishna temple in the northern suburbs of Orchha. Raja Veer Singh, the Bundela ruler of Orchha, built this temple in early 17th-century.
This east-facing temple has a mandapa, antarala and garbhagriha. The mandapa is rectangular and on top of its roof is a trabeated dome. The garbhagriya (sanctum) is square and has a Nagara-style sikhara (spire), that includes a vedibandha and jangha. The walls are generally plain, except for niches with reliefs of Hindu deities, yogis that appear quite similar to Jain tirthankaras. The arched entrance reminds of the Mughal style, while chhatris on the top remind of the Rajput style. The Radhika Bihari temple is notable for illustrating the Bundela-style of Hindu temple architecture in an era when India had already lost traditional schools of artisans and architecture, and had been replaced with artisans with skills and experience of Mughal architecture. |
