A temple with a difference.
Karhateshwar Temple的点评
点评：Karhateshwar Temple.
Sufficient parking is available at Karhateshwar Temple.
As you walk toward the temple you see the main entry gate it is called Audumber Dwar, It is an arched gate. The top of the arch has a flag pole. At the bottom of the arch hangs a bass bell.
The Audumber gate has a unique design, the top portion looks like a Viking helmet with horns!!
Karhateshwar Temple is built on a sloping hill where the hill slope culminates at the beach and the sea. Two level areas had to be dug out of the hill face to enable the construction of the temple.
Stone-paved stairs start at the Audumber Dwar and go right down to the sea shore where an underground perennial sweet water stream is channelled through a Goumukh to fill a Kund. (Goumukh : Cow mouth : hollow stone statue of a cow head. Where an underground stream flows out through the Goumukh). Devotees wash their feet and hands and freshen up, some who re more devoted take a bath with Kund water before going for darshan in the temple.
Passing through Audumber gate, as you start descending, you pass near an old Audumber tree, after which the Audumber gate seems to have been named.
We decided to first go and visit the Kund. The stairs are fully shaded by the thick and dense trees going all around. The climb / descent is a bit steep and the number of steps is also a fair amount. Those with knee trouble may find it a bit difficult. The water of the stream is cold and potable. One feels quite freshened up after washing the face n that water. Good view of the sea. The seashore is rocky in the area around the Kund. On the climb back to the temple I was intrigued by the ruins of what appeared like the ramparts of a fort along the seashore. Wanted to explore it but it was difficult and inaccessible so just continued the climb and reached the temple.
Temple is an ancient temple. It is commonly accepted that it was built during the reign of Shaliharas.( 765 to 1029 CE).
The architecture of this temple is unique. It is the first and only kind I have seen so far.
It is a long rectangular building with a split two-tiered roof covered with clay tiles. There are no domes or shikhara which house the Garbha Graha, The Sabha Graha. Such domes and shikhara are the traditional, standard features of all the temples all over India. Ther are missing here.
Once inside, the rectangular hall is sort of partitioned into three parts. A small built-in Garbha Graha, a Sabha Graha, and bit larger assembly hall. The roof is supported by teak pillars. These pillars are plain square in shape, very plain, and simply devoid of any designs or engravings, Such simplicity in this temple built of wood was another feature I found strange. This uniqueness and simplicity is what sets this temple apart and make it unique.
On the upper tier dug out in the hill slope there are some rooms. The room which is closest to the stairs is Ganesh Mandir. It has a small but beautiful idol of Ganesh carved in white marble.
The thick forest all around, and the remoteness of the temple from any habitat ensures the quite serenity of the temple.
One can have a blast here, a picnic with kids and family near the Gomukh Kund 😊

翻译：卡尔哈特什瓦尔神庙。
Karhateshwar Temple 提供充足的停车位。
当您走向寺庙时，您会看到名为 Audumber Dwar 的主入口大门，它是一个拱形大门。拱顶有旗杆。拱门的底部悬挂着低音铃。
Audumber 大门设计独特，顶部看起来像带角的维京头盔！
Karhateshwar 神庙建在一个倾斜的山丘上，山坡在海滩和大海处达到顶峰。必须从山面上挖出两层区域才能建造寺庙。
石头铺成的楼梯从 Audumber Dwar 开始，一直向下延伸到海边，在那里，地下多年生的甜水流通过 Goumukh 注入 Kund。 （Goumukh：牛嘴：牛头的空心石像。地下溪流从 Goumukh 流出的地方）。奉献者洗脚和洗手并梳洗，一些更虔诚的人在去寺庙达山之前用昆德水洗澡。
穿过 Audumber 门，当你开始下降时，你会经过一棵古老的 Audumber 树，Audumber 门似乎就是以此命名的。
我们决定先去参观昆德。四周茂密的树木将楼梯完全遮蔽。爬升/下降有点陡峭，步数也相当多。膝盖有问题的人可能会觉得有点困难。溪水冰凉，可饮用。用那水洗完脸，感觉神清气爽。海景不错。昆德周围地区的海岸多岩石。在爬回寺庙的路上，我对海边堡垒城墙的废墟很感兴趣。想探索它，但它很困难且无法进入，所以继续攀登并到达了寺庙。
寺庙是一座古老的寺庙。人们普遍认为它是在 Shaliharas 统治期间建造的。（公元 765 年至 1029 年）。
这座寺庙的建筑很独特。这是我迄今为止看到的第一种也是唯一一种。
它是一座长方形的建筑，有一个分裂的两层屋顶，上面覆盖着粘土瓦。没有圆顶或 shikhara 容纳 Garbha Graha，The Sabha Graha。这样的圆顶和 shikhara 是印度所有寺庙的传统、标准特征。这里不见了。
一进去，长方形的大厅就被分成了三个部分。小型内置 Garbha Graha、Sabha Graha 和稍大一点的礼堂。屋顶由柚木柱支撑。这些柱子是朴素的方形，非常朴素，根本没有任何设计或雕刻，在这座木头建造的寺庙里，如此朴素是我感到奇怪的另一个特点。这种独特性和简洁性使这座寺庙与众不同并与众不同。
在山坡上挖出的上层有一些房间。离楼梯最近的房间是 Ganesh Mandir。它有一个用白色大理石雕刻的小而美丽的甘尼什神像。
四周茂密的森林，加上寺庙远离任何栖息地，确保了寺庙的宁静。
人们可以在这里尽情享受，与孩子和家人在 Gomukh Kund 附近野餐😊
这是一个参观的好地方。一座与众不同的寺庙。
