| Introduction to
Temples |
Rajasthan is known to be a land
of temples, forts and palaces. The land is bestowed with rich culture and
heritage that spreads all around. The religious places in Rajasthan are not only
places of worship but also monuments of great artistic beauty. The different
religious places in Rajasthan belong to different faiths which provide a perfect
example of communal harmony. Many of these forts and palaces while look rugged
and rough from their exteriors; the interiors take you to an altogether
different world. Surprises are the second name of these architectural marvels
spread throughout the land of Rajasthan. The culturally rich state of Rajasthan
is popular for a range of things. The elephants, camels, bird sanctuaries,
festivals and fairs, forts, luxury trains, folk dance/music, arts/crafts, and
royalty. |
The exquisitely carved
temples and shrines of Rajasthan are the exponents of the architectural movement
that took place in Rajasthan in 8th to 11th century. The architecture of these
temples of Rajasthan included plastic ornamentations consisting of motifs of
foliation and curvaceous feminine forms, thus reflecting affinity for aesthetics
and nature. The Rajput, Mughal and other rulers who have exercised dominion over
the state for centuries have left behind their rich cultural heritage that are
reflected in the architectural styles of mansions, forts, temples and shrines. |
