  • Rajput Temples in Bundelkhand Region Neeta
    P: ISSN NO.: 2321-290X RNI : UPBIL/2013/55327 VOL-IV* ISSUE-IV*December-2016 E: ISSN NO.: 2349-980X Shrinkhla Ek Shodhparak Vaicharik Patrika Rajput Temples in Bundelkhand Region Abstract Hindu temple is a symbol or rather a synthesis of various symbols. It is conceived in terms of the human organism which is the most evolved living form. the names of the various limbs of the human body from the foot to the hair on the crown of the head are applied in the 1 architectural texts to different parts of the temple structure. Through out the greater part of the country, the sanctuary as a whole is known as the vimana, of which the upper pyramidal or tapering portion is called the shikhara, meaning tower or spire. The garbha Graha or womb-house for the reception of the divine symbol was a dark chamber which was entered by a doorway on its inner, and usually eastern side.. In front of the Grabha graham was a pillared hall or mandapa for the assembly of those paying their devotions to the divine symbol. From about the beginning of the 7th century, the sanctum was roofed by a tall, curvilinear spire (Shikhar) which constituted the most striking cognizance of the Northern Temple. The spire was initially of three vertical projections which gradually increased to five and occasionally seven. All these projections are covered with a mesh of Chaitya- dormers and the corner ones display in addition a series of small amalakas at the angles to demarcate the division of the spire into compressed storeys.

    INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1958-59 —A REVIEW EDITED BY A. GHOSH Director General of Archaeology in India DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1959 Price Rs. 1000 or 16shillings COPYRIGHT DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA PRINTED AT THE CORONATION PRINTING WORKS, DELHI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This sixth number of the annual Review tries to embody, like its predecessors, information on all archaeological activities in the country during the previous year. The varied sources of information are obvious in most cases: where they are not, they have, as far as possible, been suitably acknowledged. From the ready and unconditional response that I have all along been receiving to my request for material, it is obvious that it is realized at all quarters that the Review has been performing its intended function of publishing, within the least possible time, the essential archaeological news of the country. At the same time, as it incorporates news obtained from diverse sources, the assumption of responsibility by me, as the editor, for the accuracy of the news, much less of the interpretation thereof, is precluded. My sincerest thanks are due to all—officers of the Union Department of Archaeology and of the State Governments, heads of other organizations concerned with archaeology and individuals devoting themselves to archaeological pursuits— who have furnished me with material that is included in the Review and to those colleagues of mine in the Department who have assisted me in editing it and seeing it through the press.
