மகிஷாசுரமர்த்தினி குகை கோவில் | Mahishasuramardini Cave Temple Mahabalipuram

மாமல்லபுரம் மகிஷாசுரமர்த்தினி மண்டபம் என்பது, காஞ்சிபுரம் மாவட்டத்தில், தமிழ்நாட்டின் கிழக்குக் கடற்கரை ஓரத்தில் அமைந்துள்ள பண்டைத் துறைமுக நகரான மகாபலிபுரத்தில் உள்ள பல குடைவரைக் கோயில்களுள் ஒன்று. இது கடற்கரைக் கோயிலுக்கு வடக்கில் அமைந்துள்ள பாறை ஒன்றில் குடையப்பட்டுள்ளது. மிகவும் சிறிய இக்குடைவரை. இது இராசசிம்ம பல்லவன் காலத்தைச் சேர்ந்தது எனக் கருதப்படுகிறது. இக்குடைவரையின் பின் சுவரில் கொற்றவையின் சிற்பம் செதுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதில் முழுத்தூண்கள் இல்லை. கீழ்ப்பகுதியில் சிங்க உருவம் கொண்ட இரண்டு அரைத்தூண்கள் மட்டும் காணப்படுகின்றன.[1]

மகிஷாசுரமர்த்தினி மண்டபத்தில் இருக்கும் மிக அழகான சிற்பத்தொகுதி, துர்க்கை (சக்தி) சிங்க வாகனத்தில் ஏறி, மகிஷன் என்னும் எருமைத்தலை கொண்ட அரக்கனை வதம் செய்யும் காட்சி. மகிஷாசுரமர்த்தினி என்று அழைக்கப்படும் சக்தி, பத்து கைகளுடன் இருக்கிறாள். ஆயுதங்களுடன் ஆக்ரோஷமாகக் காணப்படும் மகிஷாசுர மர்த்தினியை எருமைத்தலை கொண்ட மகிஷாசுரன் கதாயுதத்துடன் எதிர்த்து நிற்கும் காட்சி தத்ரூபமாகச் செதுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. மகிஷாசுரனுக்கு ஆதரவாகப் பல அரக்கர்களும், சக்திக்கு ஆதரவாகப் பல கணங்களும் காணப்படுகிறார்கள்.

1900 ஆம் ஆண்டு கட்டப்பட்டது இந்த புதிய கலங்கரை விளக்கம். மாமல்லபுரத்திற்கு சுற்றுலா வரும் சுற்றுலாப் பயணிகள் தவறாமல் பார்க்கும் இடங்களில் கலங்கரை விளக்கமும் ஒன்றாகும். கடந்த 1991ம் ஆண்டு கலங்கரை விளக்கங்களில் மக்கள் ஏறி பார்ப்பது இந்தியா முழுவதும் தடை செய்யப்பட்டது. இந்நிலையில் 20 ஆண்டுகளுக்குப் பிறகு கடந்த 2012ம் ஆண்டு இந்த தடை விலக்கப்பட்டது. இதையடுத்து கலங்கரை விளக்கம் பொதுமக்கள் பார்வையிட திறந்து விடப்பட்டது. மேலும், அருகிலேயே மியூசியமும் அமைக்கப்பட்டு தினந்தோறும் ஏராளமான சுற்றுலாப் பயணிகள் இதை பார்த்து ரசிக்கின்றனர்.

The cave also depicts many scenes from the Puranas (Hindu mythology stories in Sanskrit dating from the 5th century AD).

According to legend, Durga killed the demon Mahishasura, who was considered unconquerable. Hence, following his slaying, she was given the title Mahishasuramardhini (conqueror of Mahisha). The granite-carved cave temple depicts the goddess Mahishasuramardhini, considered an incarnation of the goddess Durga, and is named after her as Mahishasuramardhini Cave Temple. The cave's interior relief depicts this battle. The goddess is shown riding a lion, her several arms holding a bow and arrow, pursuing the retreating Mahisha with his followers.

The cave is dated to the period of king Narasimhavarman Mahamalla (630–668 AD) of the Pallava dynasty, after whom the town is also named. The cave architecture is also said to be a continuation of the great religious themes that were carved in Western India. The cave reflects a transitional style of architecture in its columns mounted on seated lions and frescoes carved on the walls inside the cave which evolved during the rule of Pallava kings Mahendra Varman I and Rajasimha or Narasimhavarman I known as Mamalla. This style was continued by Mamalla's son Parameshvaravarman I. Historical research has also confirmed that Mahabalipuram town came to be established only after it was named after Mamalla and the caves and rathas are all attributed to his reign during the year 650 AD.

CAVE TEMPLE IN MAHABALIPURAM

Evidence of Advanced Machining Technology in Ancient India - Tiger Caves Part 2

Website....................

Hey guys, in the ancient site of tiger caves, there are several strange marks found on rocks. This site is perfect for studying ancient technology. So, let's go take a look and see what we can find.
Here, you can see a strange rock which is standing at an angle. Let us go take a look at what it is. Is it a natural rock or was some kind of work done on this? The rock is tilted about 30 degrees and is very tall, about 35 feet. Upon closer inspection, you can see some weird shapes and abstract carving like cuts on it. Is it possible that ancient builders were working on it, and this is not a natural formation? Geologists and other experts will absolutely deny this, but they are just humans and are prone to errors. Let us take the God's point of view, let us examine this rock from the sky. On one side, it looks normal but the truth is revealed when we turn to the other side. What do you think now? We can clearly see a series of perfect cuts on the top of the rock. Now we know, that it is a fact, that ancient builders were working on this rock.
But what were they doing? What could be the purpose of these cuts on the top of the rock? From the ground, it is nearly impossible to see these marks. Even more interesting, it is impossible to climb this rock, it is perfectly smooth and slippery you have to climb more than 30 feet without holding anything. So, How did ancient builders climb up and make these cuts? And most importantly what possible purpose could these little holes have served?
Tiger caves site is a very strange place, the purpose of many of the structures is UNKNOWN, including the so-called Tiger cave structure itself, nobody knows why these structures were built. But if you examine this site carefully, it appears to be a laboratory, a lab where various rock cutting technologies were tested.
How about this rock? You can clearly see that one giant rock has been split into 4 pieces..or actually 5 pieces. This is not natural. This rock is many feet long and is made of solid granite. This looks like a giant loaf of bread and somebody used a giant knife to cut it into several pieces. But it is actually quite impossible to cut this rock like bread.
Why? Because granite is a very very hard rock. Most people do not understand how hard it is, and many think they can easily cut it or break it. It is one of the hardest rocks in the world and we use diamond-tipped tools to cut granite.

Cave Temple of Mahabalipuram in Kancheepuram District in Tamil Nadu,

Cave Temple of Mahabalipuram

The Cave Temples of Mahabalipuram are located on the hillock of Mahabalipuram town, overlooking the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal in Kancheepuram District in Tamil Nadu, India. Also called mandapas or rock-cut caves, they are sanctuaries or temples covered with bas-reliefs. The earliest period of use of these caves as sanctuaries is traced to the Buddhist and Jain periods. They were excavated on rock faces which were cut and then carved using chisel and iron mallet. Of the eleven mandapas or caves seen in Mahabalipuram, the most notable are the Varaha Cave Temple, Krishna Cave Temple, Panchapandava Cave Temple, and the Mahishasuramardini mandapa.[1][2] They are cut and decorated with panels in the Mamalla style of the Pallava period in the 7th century. They are differentiated from the Adiranchanda cave temples which are dated to the Mahendraverman period of the 8th century. Remnants seen in the caves also indicate that they were plastered and painted when built.[3] One of the most impressive sculpture panels, bas-reliefs, carved on the walls in the caves is that of the goddess Durga (a form of goddess Shakti) who killed Mahishasura the buffalo-headed demon which has a natural beauty with elegance of sense of movement, and this bas-relief panel in the Mahsisuramardhini Cave Temple is considered a masterpiece of Indian art.[4] Many of the caves of the Pallava period have remained incomplete. The procedure in creating these caves involved creation of a smooth rock face, then cutting columns through the polished rock faces of required size and then carving bas-reliefs on the walls of the cave.[2] Some of the cave temples are covered by the UNESCO inscription while others are not, such as the Koneri Mantapa, the Yali Mantapa, and the Kotikaal Mantapa. All caves here with simple plan and elegant architectural style, and have no deities deified in the sanctum sanctorum.[5] It is one of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram that were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984 under the heading mantapas.
