Summary
[edit]Description01221 Shiva temple Bhojpur, 11th-century Architectural Floor Plan Line Drawings, Madhya Pradesh 044.jpg |
English: The Bhojeshwar temple, also referred to as the Shiva temple of Bhojpur, is a massive unfinished 11th-century Hindu temple about 30 kilometers southeast of Bhopal. If completed, it would have been the largest Hindu temple in India. It also has the oldest architectural line drawings of a temple in Asia, on several acres of rocky surface. The temple is attributed to the Paramara dynasty king Bhoja.
To the north of temple are acres of flat and sometimes gently sloping rocky surface. On it are numerous architectural line drawings of structures, mandapa, pillars, sikhara along with sketches of sculptures and artwork that were planned for this temple. The temple and these drawings have attracted a detailed study by Adam Hardy and his scholarly colleagues, as well as mentions by many more. These drawings correlate with the historic Hindu Sanskrit architectural treatise titled Samaranganasutradhara. Hardy's publications suggest that the Indian temple construction in 11th century was a planned and sophisticated process. If those design principles and relative proportions were followed, the completed temple would have an elevation of greater than 100 meters – one of the largest pre-12th century monuments in the world. However, for reasons unclear, the temple was never finished. This temple with its line drawings engraved in stone are a national monument of India, managed and protected by ASI. |
