Summary[edit]
Description7th 8th century Garuda Brahma Temple, Navabrahma group, Alampur, Telangana India - 70.jpg |
English: The temple has a square plan similar to the Svarga Brahma. The gudhamandapa is larger along with additional pillars and niches. The innovations in the recesses and offsets are notable. The pillars rise from a purnaghata and medallions top each. The ardhamandapa and mandapa are spacious and with many reliefs.
The temple entrance and the sanctum entrance both feature goddess Ganga and Yamuna, though both show significant defacement and damage from chopping. The lalitabimba shows Garuda carrying Vishnu, making this a temple of the Vaishnavism tradition. Like other temples, iconography from all Hindu traditions (Shaivism and Shaktism) are reverentially included. The outer walls depict kama, dharma and artha scenes with amorous couples (mithuna), legends from Hindu epics and Puranas, along with ornamental yakshas and gandharvas. The temple's Chaitya arch projects a Nataraja, thus celebrating both Shaivism and Vaishnavism in different ways. The temple has been variously dated. Some scholars place it around 700 CE, likely early early 8th century around the era of first Vijayaditya. The Arhcaeological Survey of India dates it in the second half of the 9th, in the era of second Vijayaditya. The temples shows signs of deliberate damage inside and in covered portions. It also shows signs of natural erosion. The temple stands next to an active Islamic Dargah and fort monument built between the 15th and 17th century, which stands immediately next to this temple to the northwest. |
