معبد و صومعه هندو قرن دوازدهم در خاجوراهو، هند

معبد و صومعه هندو قرن دوازدهم در خاجوراهو، هند, Hindu temple in Khajuraho, India

Duladeo Temple is a Hindu shrine in Khajuraho featuring an octagonal central chamber with carved stone details throughout its interior. The walls and ceiling display numerous sculptured figures that cover the entire structure with artistic embellishment.

The shrine was built between 1000 and 1150 CE during the Chandela dynasty and marks the final major structure of this artistic period. Its construction occurred during an era of active stone carving and temple building across the region.

The name Duladeo means "Holy Bridegroom"; the temple is also called Kunwar Math. The sanctum's linga is a replacement for the lost original and bears 999 smaller lingas carved on its surface, so circling it is held to equal a thousand circumambulations. Local people still worship here.

The temple stands in the southern group of the Khajuraho monuments, about 5 kilometres from Khajuraho village near the Jain enclosure, on the bank of the Khodar River. The approach road is rough, so allow extra time for the last stretch. The shrine faces east, and worship is still offered there by local people, so visitors may find the sanctum in use.

The name Vasala is carved at several points on the temple, read as the signature of the chief sculptor responsible for its figures. The sanctum linga is a replacement for a lost original and carries 999 smaller lingas on its surface, so walking around it is counted as a thousand circumambulations.
