Martand Sun Temple, Mattan, Anantnag, J&K, India

Of all the interesting sights in the vicinity of Anantnag, the ruins of Martand hold the first place and they are easy to access, being just 10 Kms. from the main town Anantnag. It lies on the krewa above Islamabad , and is easily reached from Anantnag.(Islamabad), Bawan and Achabal. The runis of the Hindu temple of Martand or, as it is commonly called, the Pandu-Koru, or the house of the Pandus and Korus—the Cyclopes of the east- are situated on the highest part of a krewa, where it commences to rise to its juncture with the mountains. About 3 miles east of Islamabad, Occupying, undoubtedly, the finest position in Kashmir, this noble ruins is the most striking in size and situation of all the existing remains of Kashmir grandeur. The temple itself is not now more than 40 feet in height, but its solid walls and bold outlines, towering over the fluted pillars of the surrounding colonnade , given it a most imposing appearance.
There are no petty confused details, but all are district and massive, and most admirably suited to the general character of the building. Many vain speculations have been hazarded regarding the date of erection of this temple, and the worship to which it was appropriated , It is usually called the House of the Pandus by the Brahmins , and by the people “Martand”, or the sun, to which the temple was dedicated. The true date of the erection of this temple—the wonder of Kashmir is a disputed point of chronology; but the period of its foundation can be determined within the limits of one century, or between A.D 370 and 500, The mass of building now known by the name of Martand consists of one lofty central edifice, with a small detached wing on each side of the entrance, the whole standing in a large quadrangle surrounded by a colonnade of fluted pillars with intervening , trefoil headed recesses. The length of the outer side of the wall, which is blank, is about 90 yards; that of the front is about 56. There are in all eighty four columns—a singularly appropriate number in a temple of the sun, if as is supposed , the number eighty four is accounted sacred by the Hindus in consequence of its being the multiple of the number of days in the week with the number of signs in the zodiac. The colonnade is recorded in the Rajatarangini as the work of the famous king Laltaditya, who reigned from A.D.693 to 729 . From the same authority we gather though the interruption of the verses is considerably disputed that the temple itself was built by Ranaditya and the side chapels, or at least one of them, by his queen, Amritaprakha . the date of Ranaditya’s reign is involved in some obscurity, but it may safely be conjectured that he died in the first half of the fifth century after Christ. The remains of three gateways opening into the court are now standing. The principal of these fronts due west towards Islamabad. It is also rectangular in its details and built with enormous blocks of limestone, 6 or 8 feet in length, and one of 9, and of proportionate solidity, cemented with an excellent mortar. Fergusson gives the date of Martand as A.D.750, and fixes the reign of Ranaditya as A.D.578-594.
The central building is 63 feet in length by 36 in width,, and alone of all the temples of Kashmir possesses, in addition to the cella or sanctuary, a choir and nave, termed in Sanskrit the antarala and arddhamandapa; the nave is 18 feet square, the sanctuary alone is left entirely bare, the two other compartments being lined with rich panellings and sculptured niches. As the main building is at present entirely uncovered the original form of the roof can only be determined by a reference to other temples and to the general form and character of the various parts of the Maratand temple itself. It has been conjectured that the roof was of pyramidal from, and that the iterance chamber and wings were similarly covered. There would thus have been four distinct pyramids, of which that over the inner chamber must have been the loftiest , the height of its pinnacle above the ground being about 75 feet.
