A visit to ancient Jain temple which has 1000 yrs old idol
Recently during our visit to my paternal and maternal town (will post details in separate post), I got a chance to visit a 1000 yrs old idol in a Jain temple.
This place Devgarh is situated in Pratapgarh district in Rajasthan, India.
Here I am sharing some pics I took of this historic place.
What picked my curiosity for detail is that the bell´s clapper does not appear to be cast from a single mold as the rest of the bell. It seems to have been worked by hammer. I´m guessing that the rest of the bell, which is too perfect to have been cast from an old mold is not actually from that time and got recently replaced, and the clapper is the only original part of it which remains. Nice post!
Nice observation!
Awesome work of art. How old is this temple? I saw in the photos of friends old temples in India, they do not have colors, only the decor of sculptures. In this area, do all the temples resemble this style?
Temple is also old but renovated and colored at a particular interval so it is looking colorful.
You do not know if it was recently repaired, or are the bright colors so well preserved? I know that in India, because of the climate, everything is collapsing very quickly ...
I asked authorized person in the temple, he said it is colored frequently to keep temple colorful.
Thank you, I had a feeling that I myself went there and found out everything that interests me!
The colourful pillars look so beautiful. And I think even the bell there also is from ancient times!
With your help we discovered and enjoyed this wonderful place.thinks
