Summary
[edit]DescriptionBilhari historic sites map, Katni district, Madhya Pradesh.jpg |
English: Bilhari has been one of the major sources of Hindu and Jain temple ruins. The village continues to be a place full of abandoned historic structures as well as mounds.
Of the many sites, four Bilhari historic sites are now under ASI and Madhya Pradesh state archaeology department protection – the Vishnu Varaha temple, the Tapasi Matha (Shiva tradition Hindu monastery), a Group of three temples near the Bilhari Government Higher Secondary school, and the Kama Kandala temple and palace to the north. All are damaged and in ruins, but notable for what survives. According to Krishna Deva – a historian and scholar of Indian temple architecture, the surviving parts of original Bilhari temples are from the 8th century, the large Shiva monastery and its temple were built by queen Nohala between 900–950 CE as evidenced by inscriptions found here, and all other temple remains range between the 8th and 11th-century. This was once a very large ruins site, and many panels from the lost temples and damaged monastery were retrieved and used in construction of village houses and buildings during the colonial era.
