点评:The Mukteshwara Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva located, dating to the 10th-century. The temple is a fine example for Kalinga architecture, but all compacted into a much smaller building. The temple has some unique features including the torana archway at the entrance and vimana tower.
The archway stands about 10 metres from the entrance into the temple proper and is decorated with three heads, which show Buddhists influences in that each could easily be mistaken for the head of the Buddha. Around the arches are sculpted female spirits in repose seductively on either side of the central head at the apex. The Vimana has a square plan and is built over the sanctum in typical Kalinga architectural fashion. The four sides of the pyramidal roof are decorated with horizontal bands and sculptural figures. Figures include demons, dwarfs and sculptures to look out for, the Hindu god Shiva as the divine cosmic dancer.
翻译:穆克特什瓦拉神庙 (Mukteshwara Temple) 是一座供奉湿婆神的印度教寺庙,其历史可追溯至 10 世纪。这座寺庙是卡林加建筑的典范,但全部被压缩成一座小得多的建筑。寺庙有一些独特的特色,包括入口处的托拉纳拱门和维玛纳塔。
牌坊距寺庙入口约10米,饰有三个头像,显示出佛教的影响,每个头像都很容易被误认为是佛陀的头像。拱门周围雕刻着女性灵魂,在顶端中央头部的两侧诱人地休息。维曼纳 (Vimana) 平面呈方形,以典型的卡林加 (Kalinga) 建筑风格建在圣所之上。金字塔屋顶的四个侧面装饰有水平带和雕塑人物。人物包括恶魔、侏儒和雕塑,印度教湿婆神是神圣的宇宙舞者。
