1 ENVIS Madhya Pradesh Newsletter Vol. 5, No. - 2 March - April, 2007 DIRECTOR S MESSAGE ARCHEOLOGY OF MADHYA PRADESH This newsletter is targeted to the Archeology of Madhya Pradesh. Through this we would like to highlight some of the important monuments of Madhya Pradesh. Dr. Rakesh Dubey Director & ENVIS Coordinator India is blessed with number of world heritage monuments showcasing the breathtaking architecture and intricate work. Taj Mahal, a unique master-piece is the wonder in itself, an absolute epitome of Indian culture, heritage and civilization. Behind each monument is an underlying sense of mystery, intrigue and romance. Five thousand years of Indian History has given us the treasure of thousands of monuments across the country, monuments belonging to Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and Christians. Visit the monuments of India, they are not only fairy tales carved out of stones, bricks, and mortar narrating the tales of valor and courage of Indian rulers. Madhya Pradesh has witnessed the growth and development of many styles of art and architecture right from the Pre-Mauryan to the Medieval times as is evident from the mounuments of Besnagar, Bharhut, Udaigiri, Bhojpur, Dhar, Bagh, Orcha, Mandu, Tigwa, Datia, Gwalior, etc. List of important monuments at Madhya Pradesh Monuments of Indore Monuments of Dhar and Mandu Monuments of Ujjain Monument of Orcha Monuments of Gwalior Monuments of Islamnagar Monuments of Badwani Monuments of Datia Monuments of Damoh Monuments of Chanderi Monuments of Jhabua Moti mahal Gwalior Monuments of Mandsour Monuments of Sagar Monuments of Neemuch Monuments of Ratlam 1 1
2 MONUMENTS OF INDORE Rajwada Peshwa Bajirao got a Sanad of Khasgi Jagir executed with the permission of Chhatrapati Shahu in the name of the first wife of Malhar Rao Holkar in 1734 A.D. in which Indore, along with many villages of Malwa and Khandesh, was included. After obtaining the Khasgi Jagir Malhar Rao Holkar constructed the Rajwada around 1747 A.D. This building represents a fusion of Muslim, Maratha and European architectures. Its southern portion is built in Mughalstyle, eastern part in European style while the Ganesh Hall, Darbar Hall and Ahilya throne hall are built in French style. Chhatri ( Cenotaph ) of Krishna Bai Holkar Built in the later half of the 19th century at Krishnapura on the north bank of Khan river, the Chhatri is a fine example of the architecture of the later Holkars. The Chhatri was built at the place where Krishna Bai (death in 1849 A.D.) was cremated. Gods and goddesses of Hindu pantheon wearing Maratha drapery are beautifully carved all over the Chhatri. The arches are decorated with geometric patterns. MONUMENTS OF ORCHHA Orchha is famous for the Bundela style of architecture which is considered by historian to be one of the mature manifestations of the amalgamation of the Mugal and the Rajput styles of architecture.the Bundela style is marked by its rectangular form of place relieved often by circular towerat the corners surmounted by chhatris. Rama Raja Mandir (Rama Raja Temple) It is presumed to have been inspired by the Kushak Mahal at nearby Chanderi. built a century earlier by Mahmud Shah Khilji of Malwa. The building which is of religious importance now was built by Madhukar Shah ( ) as a palace for the Queen. It consists of a central rectangular courtyard around which apartments arise surrounded by a high retaining wall. There is a widely current legend that the Queen's Palace was converted into a temple after Lord Rama decided to make it His abode after he had been brought to Orchha by Queen Ganesh Kunwari. MONUMENTS OF CHHATARPUR Surya Mandir,Chhatarpur Built around 13th century it is a monument of later Chandel period. Having pancharathikas the temple is of shikar style. An image of Ganesh is carved on the lalat bimb (lintel piece) of the gate of the antaral portion of the ancient temple, which suggests that the temple is dedicated to Shiva Parivar. Subsequently the Surya idol was brought to the garbha-griha from outside due to which it is now known as Surya Mandir. This state protected monument is very rich from artistic point of view. Bhim Kund Temple Group This is a state protected group of temples where four small temples are situated in a row opposite the main temple. The stone temple is a pancharathi type. on the basis of style it belongs to 8-9th century. A step-well has been constructed just in front of the main temple. Contd. on page 5 2 2

At present this houses the office of the Commissioner. Moti Mahal was built by Srimant Maharaja Jiwaji Rao Scindia in 1827 A.D. The auditorium that was the assembly hall of Madhya Bharat during the regime of Scindia state and the meeting hall are under the care of the Directorate of Archaeology. The wall paintings (including the ragmala paintings) are fascinating. The depiction of dussehra festival celebrated by the Scindia royal family is the most beautiful painting in this hall. The wall paintings depicting Radha-Krishna are vivid examples of the richness and idioms of art prevalent during the period MONUMENTS OF UJJAIN Tilkeshwar Mahadev Temple This temple was built in 18th century by Shri Sadashiv Jagannath Bhave. It is surrounded by a huge wall. It has ardhmandap, mahamandap, antaral and garbh-griha. The roof of the ardhmandap has wall paintings of Maratha period. To the south west of the temple there exists a step-well made of plain black brown stones. Chamunda Temple, Gazanikheda (Runjia) This east-facing temple is in a good shape. This temple was built in 11th century in Bhumij style and its garbha-griha, antaral and mandapa are worth mentioning. The Chamunda idol in the garbha-griha is worshipped. On the garbha-griha of the ancient ruined temple, brick walls have been built and plastered. The mandap is supported by sixteen pillars, which are decorated.

In 1732 A.D. the rulers of Panwar dynasty captured this fort situated on a rectangular hillock. The construction of this strong and imposing fort could become possible due to solid muram and black stone of this hillock. The main entrance to thefort was built to the west. The construction plan of the fort suggests that it was built following the injunctions of Samarangan Sutradhar. The important monuments in this fort include Kharbuja Mahal, Shish Mahal and other buildings. Chhappan Mahal, Mandu This monument was built by the Sultan of Mandu in 16th century.
