Places
To Visit In Khajuraho
Parsavanatha Temple
Khajuraho
|
The largest of the Jain temples in the
walled enclosure is also one of the finest and exquisite
at Khajuraho. Although it does not approach the western enclosure
temples in size, and does not attempt to compete in the sexual
activity stakes, it is notable for the exceptional skill and
precision of its construction, and for the beauty of its
sculptures. Some of the best known figures at Khajuraho can be
seen here, including the classic figure of a woman removing a
thorn from her foot and another of a woman applying eye make-up.
Although it was originally dedicated to Adinath, an image of
Parsvanath was substituted about a century ago; the temple takes
its name from this newer image.
The
sculptures on the Northern outer wall are particularly noteworthy.
The themes depict in charming detail, every day activity. Within,
a throne faces the bull Emblem of the first tirthankara,
Adinath. The Parsvanath image was installed in 1860.
