Description01022 Ghantai temple, Khajuraho Madhya Pradesh 06.jpg |
English: The Ghanti temple is found on the eastern side of Khajuraho. It is damaged, most of the temple lost, except for beautifully carved pillars of its mandapa and the sanctum doorway.
Given the lack of the sanctum, sikhara and undamaged iconography, there has been some disagreement about the Ghanti temple. Colonial era theories suggested that it might have been a Buddhist temple because a damaged Buddha-like statue was found here. Others have suggested it to be a Hindu temple, given some damaged statues and iconography found here resemble those found in Hindu temples in Khajuraho. In particular, the surviving doorway has Ganga, Yamuna and its lintel has Gajalakshmi. Since broken temple parts or ruins can be moved, the presence or absence of statue parts and ruins do not necessary mean that they belong to this temple. Further, there is a considerable overlap in deities found in Jainism and Hinduism. Ganga and Yamuna are quite common in Jain temples. Gajalakshmi is found in Buddhist, Hindu and Jain sites. A closer examination of the limited evidence in Ghantai temple and its comparison with Jain/Hindu temples suggest that the Ghanti temple was likely a Parsvanatha temple. This temple is sometimes referred to as the Ghanti temple, either name inspired by the numerous bell-shaped artwork found on the pillars. The temple was built in late 10th-century. |
