Summary
[edit]Description0102521 Siddhanath temple, Siddheshwar Mahadev temple, Nemawar, Madhya Pradesh 299.jpg |
English: Nemawar is a village in southwest Madhya Pradesh and a historic Hindu and Jain pilgrimage site on the northern banks of the Narmada river. It is called Narmadapura in Sanskrit texts. It was an important town under the Paramara rulers. The 19th-century archaeological surveys reported numerous Paramara temple ruins here (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey, Western Circle, 1921, pp. 98–106).
Nemawar is notable for the Siddhanatha temple, also known as the Siddeshwar Mahadeva temple. This temple is significant for the following reasons:
The Siddhanatha temple faces south, has a sabhamandapa, an antarala and a garbhagriya. Its shikhara (spire) towers over the sanctum with symmetric order of miniature shikharas. The sabhamandapa consists of a gudhamandapa with three mukhamandapa for entrance from three cardinal directions. The outer walls of the temple have artwork of Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakta and Saura traditions, as well as many Vedic deities. The panels also include cultural scenes of artha, kama (amorous couples, mithuna), dance, music and festivals. Inside the sanctum is a Shiva linga on an arghyapatta. The temple is made in two stones – yellowish sandstone and bluish-pink sandstone, likely because its expansion was completed with the second type of stone. The temple has two important inscriptions, both by visiting pilgrims. The older inscription is from the 12th century and is on the second type of stone. The architectural features and iconography suggests that this temple was completed in late 10th-century. Some scholars date it to the first half of the 11th-century. |
