Summary
[edit]Description0121521 Smaller Bahu temple, Sasbahu (Sahasrabahu) Temples, Gwalior Fort, Madhya Pradesh 095.jpg |
English: Sasbahu Temple of Gwalior Fort is a profusely carved, multi-storey 11th century twin Hindu temple. Its original name was Sahasrabahu Temple, after Vishnu whose epithet in Sanskrit strotas is Sahasrabahu. This phonetically evolved into the shorter form Sasbahu, which also happens to mean "Mother-in-law" and "Daughter-in-Law". The former (Sas) name is now assigned to the larger temple, the latter (Bahu) is assigned to the smaller of the two. The Sasbahu temple is mostly in ruins, almost all its statues has vanished, artwork badly damaged from numerous invasions and Hindu-Muslim wars in the region.
The temple was built King Mahipala of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty, per an inscription found here. The smaller Badu temple survives mostly in a shell form, much is lost, most of the artwork that remains defaced and mutilated beyond recognition. The sikhara of the smaller temple is missing like that of the larger temple. A mandapa survives, but given the doorways and floor plan, it must had an impressive sanctum and sikhara. A notable feature of the smaller temple are the elegant pillars and their carvings. |
