点评:The Varaha Temple at Khajuraho enshrines a colossal monolithic image of Varaha, the boar avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. This temple depicts Varaha as a purely animal form. The temple is located in the Western Group of Temple Complex Khajuraho Group of Monuments, a World Heritage Site inscribed by UNESCO in 1986 because of its outstanding architecture and testimony to the Chandela dynasty.
Vishnu appeared in the form of a boar in order to defeat Hiranyaksha, a demon who had taken the Earth (goddess Bhudevi) and carried her to the bottom of the cosmic ocean. After batting for a thousand years, Varaha slew the demon. He carried the Earth out of the ocean between his tusks and restored her to her place in the universe. Vishnu married Bhudevi in this avatar.
The Varaha Temple is one of the monuments among Khajuraho Group of Monuments, a World Heritage Site in India. It is dated to c. 900–925 AD. Inside the temple complex, Varaha Temple is located next (South) to Lakshmi Temple and opposite to Lakshman Temple.
翻译:克久拉霍的瓦拉哈神庙供奉着瓦拉哈的巨型独石雕像,瓦拉哈是印度教毗湿奴神的野猪化身。这座神庙将瓦拉哈描绘成纯粹的动物形态。神庙位于克久拉霍古迹群西侧,该古迹群因其杰出的建筑和对昌德拉王朝的见证,于1986年被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录。
毗湿奴化身为野猪,是为了击败夺走大地女神(布德维)并将其拖入宇宙海洋底部的恶魔希兰亚克沙。经过一千年的激战,瓦拉哈最终杀死了恶魔。他用獠牙将大地从海洋中叼出,使其重返宇宙。毗湿奴正是以这个化身迎娶了布德维。
瓦拉哈神庙是克久拉霍古迹群中的一座古迹,克久拉霍古迹群是印度的世界遗产。瓦拉哈神庙的历史可以追溯到公元900年至925年左右。在神庙建筑群内,瓦拉哈神庙位于拉克什米神庙南侧,与拉克什曼神庙隔街相望。
