Mandagapattu Temple

Posted on

The Mandagapattu Temple is a celebrated historical site that marks an important evolution in South Indian temple architecture. Carved out of a rock face, this Hindu temple is a fine example of early Pallava art and showcases a unique blend of religious and cultural influences. Unlike the later Dravidian temples with towering gopurams, the Mandagapattu temple’s charm lies in its simplistic yet intricate carvings and the absence of deities in its sanctum at its time of conception. This landmark is believed to be the brainchild of King Mahendravarman I, who initiated the practice of rock-cut architecture in the region.

Fajada Butte in Chaco Culture National Historical Park stands as a monument to the sophisticated celestial knowledge of the ancestral Puebloans. These native people inhabited what is now the American Southwest over a thousand years ago. Their understanding of solar and lunar cycles is evident at the butte. Carefully arranged stones on the cliffs cast shadows, or ‘sun daggers’, over spiral petroglyphs. These mark the passing of solstices and equinoxes, reflecting a complex timekeeping system. The Sun Dagger is more than a unique rock formation. It is a sophisticated astronomical marker. Its discovery in the 1970s opened a window into the lives of the Chacoans.
