Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This is a large group of 9th to 11th century Hindu temple ruins in a remote village named Vyas Bhadora, about 90 kilometers north of Khajuraho. Originally over thirty temples, partial structures of about ten temples stand, and four survive in substantial form. These temples were produced from stone and granite. The surviving temple ruins are notable for their architecture and artwork, in early Chandella (Candella) style. The artwork includes Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakta, Saura and Vedic deities of Hinduism.
Shah, in his book Grandeur of Granite Shiva-Yogini Temples of Vyas Bhadora (ISBN 9789380574066) suggests that this was once an enormous Chausath Yogini temple with twin-Shiva temples. If this theory is correct, then this site would be a rare example of a Chausath Yogini temple where the shrines for the Yoginis were not in a precise circular form or geometrically symmetric form. An alternate theory is that this site was a part of large matha (monastery) with temples of Shiva, Vishnu and Devi (Yoginis). The site has been under a restoration effort over 2020–2022. |
