Temples in Rajasthan

The temples in Rajasthan are master pieces of architectural beauty. Rajasthan is proof of many architectural movements. These movements have left important evidence during the 8th to 11th century. From 4 to 5 centuries, the architecture was inspired by the Guptas. Gurjara Pratihara dynasty, which was from Mandore, has emerged from a new style of architecture of the temples. During this period, some temples have also been built in western Rajasthan, in Osiyan and Chittorgarh.

The important features of temples in Rajasthan in western Rajasthan are the arrow or sikhara and complex sculptures in the outer room, which is known as mandap. The mandap is generally located in front of the Inner Sanctum. In most temples in Rajasthan, the main structure of the temple is surrounded by a number of small temples around. If you want to visit this architectural masterpiece, then you should visit Kumbha Shyam temples along with Kalika Mata temple, located in Fort Chittorgarh. Frescos of temples Kiradu, which is located in the west Barmer region is a great site for art lovers. This style, which is known as Solanki, is evident in Someshvara temple, where along with fresco sculptures; the arrow at various levels is also remarkable.

Many Jain temples were built during the 10th century which is among the temples in Rajasthan. Dilwara Temples of Mount Abu are perfect examples of that time. The other Jain temples are Maha vira Temple near Udaipur Ranakpur and Mahavira temple in Ghanerao, which is in the southern region of Rajasthan. The most beautiful in Ranakpur, is the Chomukha, which means 4 faces. In it, there are decorated mandapas adorned with sculptures of work that offers a wonderful symmetrical design. The group of Jain temples situated in Jaisalmer is also remarkable.
