Vaman Temple

Reviewed By chow69 - Bhopal, India

The Vamana Temple is one of the temples of the Eastern Group in Khajuraho. We visited this unique temple while on our recent trip there. It is located on the same road which leads from the Brahma Temple. The temple is enclosed by means of a wall and is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. It looks out over the surrounding fields and is a beautiful sight when the crop has still to be harvested. The temple is dedicated to the Vamana (Medieval Man) incarnation of Lord Vishnu, which is the fifth of the 10 avatars. The porch of the temple has collapsed, and thus it looks a bit stunted. The sanctum contains the dwarf image Vamana. As per mythology Lord Vishnu took this avatar to teach a haughty king a lesson. He requested the proud and haughty king for three strides of land, which was granted by the king. Lord Vishnu then took one step and covered the earth, the second the heavens and could not place his third step. The king realized his folly, bowed down before the lord, begged forgiveness and requested him to place his third step on his bowed head. The temple is thus dedicated to this incarnation of Vishnu. The temple faces east and has two bands of the usual sculptures of gods, their consorts, female figures and mythical creatures. The uniqueness of the temple is that its Sikhara (roof) is unencumbered by any subsidiary sikharas and is embellished with a series of arches. Erotic scenes are absent here except in the subsidiary niches. The temple is made later than the Kandariya Mahadev going by its sculptural type and style. A must visit temple of the Eastern Group.
