Summary
[edit]DescriptionRuins of the Missing Gupta era temple, Hindu Udayagiri Caves, Vidisha district, Madhya Pradesh 039.jpg |
English: The ruins of Missing Gupta Temple are found on the top of the rocky hill that hosts the Udayagiri caves, near the colonial era Resthouse (now abandoned, kept as a historical landmark).
The monument called "Missing Gupta Temple" by Archaeological Survey of India actually consists of three structures, one a massive temple platform with evidence of a major but missing temple, another rocky foundation for a shrine, and a third structure that is a pit – possibly part of a pushkarini. Inside the pit are ruins and broken section of big pillars. This is the hilltop spot where the lion capital of Udayagiri was discovered, later moved to the Gurjari Mahal museum of Gwalior. Additional temple parts were similarly relocated to museums during the colonial era. The archaeological remains found here suggest that there once was a major Gupta era temple(s) complex here, quite likely partly dedicated to the Hindu sun god – Surya. But now, other than some enticing ruins here and others in museums, everything is lost to history. |
