LXXIII, Z. 1, 2020, (s. 119–153) DOI 10.24425/ro.2020.134049 RAJESH KUMAR SINGH (Ajanta Caves Research Programme, Dharohar, SML, Udaipur, India) ORCID: 0000-0003-4309-4943 The Earliest Two and a Half Shrine-antechambers of India Abstract The shrine antechamber is a standard component of the Indian temple architecture. It was originated in the Buddhist context, and the context was the rock-cut architecture of the Deccan and central India. The first antechamber was attempted in circa 125 CE in the Nasik Cave 17. It was patronised by Indrāgnidatta, a yavana, who possibly hailed from Bactria. The second antechamber was created in Bāgh Cave 2 in ca. late 466 CE. The patron remains unknown. The third antechamber was initiated in Ajanta Cave 16 within a few months. It was patronised by Varāhadeva, the Prime Minister of Vākāṭaka Mahārāj Hari Ṣeṇa. When the third antechamber was only half excavated, the plan was cancelled by the patron himself due to a sudden threat posed by the Alchon Hūṇs led by Mahā-Ṣāhi Khingila. The Nasik antechamber was inspired from Bactria, the Bāgh antechamber was inspired from the parrallels in the Greater Gandhāra region, whereas the Ajanta Cave 16 antechamber was inspired from Bāgh Cave 2. Keywords: Buddhist rock-cut architecture, Nasik caves, Bagh caves, Ajanta caves, shrine antechamber, central pillar, Gandhara, Alchon Hun Khingila, Vakataka Introduction This article shows how the earliest two and a half shrine-antechambers of India were developed. The shrine antechamber, as we know, is an integral part of the Indian temple architecture.

Many physical components influences the livability and in the creation of serene environments. Buddhist history depicts the way of life of Bhikshu-samuha relied upon concentrating and vitalizing their senses in isolation through Ayatana, thus inferring undisturbed abodes. So, Sangha - Dharma had its implications in forming their functional living spaces. So the site selection criteria for Aramas have specific considerations such as: Water as an element control the human emotions and regulates materialistic and non-materialistic aspects. Another element which is nature’s canvas dealing with articulation of built spaces along with its magnificent scenic backdrop. Vista as an element gives us an idea of creating a platform for admiring the available panoramic view for regulating emotional and spiritual conscience. Further, Interaction spaces concentrate on creating a common platform for learning, performing prayers, meditation and social sharing.

On the Kanuma day during Sankranti, the villagers used to pelt stones at a belly- shaped object, believing it to be a part of a demon. Kanuma Day It is an important day during the Pongal and Sankranti festivals, which are both ancient harvest festivals that take place in mid-January, celebrating the movement of the sun reversing, marking the start of the end of winter. In Andhra Pradesh, the Kanuma festival is celebrated on the third day of the four- day Sankranti festival. It is an important festival of Telugu people and is dedicated to cattle and other animals that are an important part of the rural economy in Andhra Pradesh. 1/2 Key Points The main stupa is carved out of rock and then covered with bricks, with a number of images of the Buddha sculpted on the rock face all over the hill. Bojjannakonda and Lingalametta are the twin Buddhist monasteries dating back to the 3rd century BC. At Lingalametta, there are hundreds of rock-cut monolithic stupas in rows. These sites have seen three forms of Buddhism- Theravada period: when Lord Buddha was considered a teacher. Mahayana: where Buddhism was more devotional. Vajrayana: where Buddhist tradition was more practised as Tantra and esoteric form. The name Sankaram is derived from the term, ‘Sangharama’.

Prelims and Mains focus: about the ritual and the Buddhist sites associated; about INTACH and its role in conserving Indian heritage News: After a sustained campaign, heritage lovers and officials have been successful in almost stopping the stone-pelting ritual at Bojjannakonda, a famous Buddhist site at Sankaram, 3.5 km from Anakapalle and 41 km from Visakhapatnam. About the ritual on Kanuma day The villagers, as a part of an ancient ritual, would throw stones at a belly- shaped object at the site, believing it to be a part of a demon. About the Buddhist sites Bojjannakonda and Lingalametta are twin Buddhist monasteries dating back to the 3rd century BC. These sites have seen three forms of Buddhism — 1. the Theravada period when Lord Buddha was considered a teacher; 2. the Mahayana, where Buddhism was more devotional; and 3. Vajrayana, where Buddhist tradition was more practised as Tantra and in esoteric form. The name Sankaram is derived from the term, ‘Sangharama’. The site is famous for many votive stupas, rockcut caves, brickbuilt edifices, early historic pottery, and Satavahana coins that date back to the 1st century AD. The main stupa was carved out of rock and then covered with bricks, and a number of images of the Buddha are seen sculpted on the rock face all over the hill. At the nearby Lingalametta, one can see hundreds of rockcut monolithic stupas in rows. Efforts of NTACH to protect the site from damage Following the intervention of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), the practice carried out on the Kanuma day during Sankranti has almost been done away with.
