Chapter 296: The fate brought by the koi

The main ones are: Jain Enclosure, Parswanat Temple, Shantina Tajan Temple, Adinata Temple, etc. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Khajuraho Temple West, East and South Temple Complex Location Map Copyright Group Jain Temple Group in East Temple Group This is a Jain temple complex located about 18 km east of the West Temple.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu came here to visit first in the afternoon. Known as the Jain Enclosure, the grounds are home to three Jain temples. In the Jain paddock cloister, I saw some naked statues of the Jain Tenyi sect, which is a special feature of this place. The Parswanat temple resembles the main pagoda of several Hindu temples in the western temple complex.

There are similar statues of gods on it, but without those naked love themes. Next to the entrance to the Jain temple complex in the Qundong temple complex, there is a lintel beam on a building with statues of Vishnu and the gods. Perhaps the old objects of which temple were abandoned and moved here.

The temple of Tina Tajan in the mountains was built in the last century and has a courtyard surrounded by a square cloister. The cloister** is enshrined with statues of some Jain patriarchs, like a Jain museum. There is a large courtyard outside the gate of the temple of Tina Tajan in the mountains, and the surrounding buildings are all light yellow, and the courtyard is neat and clean.

A pink triangular plum tree adorns the area in a pleasing color. The temple of Tina Tajan enters the inner courtyard, which is surrounded by a cloister with marble statues of ancient Jain patriarchs. Interior view of the cloister of the temple of Tina Tajan in the mountains.

The walls are all pale yellow, which looks very holy. A statue of a Jain patriarch at the Tina Tajan Temple sits in a pagoda carved from white marble on a beautiful five-tiered pedestal. There are a total of 24 patriarchs in Jainism, and only the last Mahabita is revered as the founder.

The idol of the Jain patriarch enshrined in the cloister of the Tina Tajan temple in the mountains. The body of the idol is naked, with eyes closed and meditating, and the expression is serene. There is only a Hindi logo, so I don't know which Jain master it is. This white marble shrine is very delicately carved inside and out, and it is well preserved.

The white marble statue of Nobita, the founder of Jainism, in the Tina Tajan Temple in Gunsan, has a white body with an ivory-like texture and luster. The completely naked statue of the god of non-eros was seen for the first time, and let Xueluo know for the first time that there is a school of Jainism in India called "the Heavenly Clothes School", which advocates that "saints do not wear clothes".

Jainism is divided into the White Clothes and the Heavenly Clothes. The white-clothed sect wears white monk's robes, while the Tianyi faction wears nothing and uses the sky as a garment to achieve complete "liberation". The Tianyi faction discriminates against women, so it is made up entirely of men. A white marble statue of the founder of Jainism enshrined in the Temporal sect of the Tinatha Jane Temple in the mountains.

A white marble statue of the founder of Jainism enshrined in the Temporal sect of the Tinatha Jane Temple in the mountains. The statue of the temple resembles the Buddha Shakyamuni, who was actually Adinatha, the first patriarch of Jainism. The relief decoration around the idol is beautiful. By the way, Shakyamuni was reduced to an incarnation of Vishnu in Hinduism.

The largest and most beautiful of the eastern temple complexes of the Parswanat Temples. It was built in 954 AD by King Dangadiff of the Chandra dynasty and is a millennium old. Earlier it was a Hindu temple dedicated to Adinath, and it is currently dedicated to Parswanat. The temple is located on the north side of the temple of Shantina Tajan.

Dedicated to Adinata, the first patriarch of Jainism. From the outside, it looks like a Hindu temple in the western temple complex. The main tower is in the shape of Mount Meru, and there are many small towers to defend it. There are three ribbon-shaped sculpture areas on the outside of the building under the tower, and the appearance of the relief carvings inside is similar to that seen in the West Temple Group, the image is vivid, the posture is colorful, and the work is meticulous.

The temple of Palswanath looked up, and his eyes were full of gods, and he was directly stunned. After seeing the sculptures of the West Temple, it is difficult to look at this place without aesthetic fatigue. The temple of Parswanat is still the most eye-catching image of the fairy in the middle. Just ask me, who can have the ability to lift the soles of their feet like this?

The Celestial Maiden of the Parswanat Temple. The standard statue of the "heavenly robe" in the middle of the Parswanat temple is not found in the Hindu group statues in the western temple, showing some differences from Jainism. The inner chamber of the group Parswanat temple is dedicated to the idol of Parswanat.

Although the temple is 1,000 years old, the statue was only installed here more than 100 years ago in the last century to replace the original worship of Adinath. A small temple located on the north side of the Parswanat Temple. Dedicated to Adinata, the patriarch of Jainism.

There are also two rows of demigod reliefs on the tower, and some of the reliefs on them are also very good. A graceful little fairy, delicately carved. Numerous statues of mythical beasts. Two small pagoda temples in the courtyard of the Qundong Temple, the Jain enclosure temple complex. The temple is located about 400 meters north of the old village and about 14 kilometers from the Jain paddock.

After seeing the Jain paddock, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu first went to visit the Tulado Temple, which belongs to the South Temple Group in the south, and then came here to visit. Because this temple belongs to the Eastern Temple Complex like the Jain paddock, it is narrated first. The temple of Qunvamana was built in 1050~1075 and is dedicated to Vishnu.

The architectural form is similar to several in the West Temple, with relief bands on the outer walls. The main tower has stone carvings of lions and elephants. The sacred lion high above the temple of Gunwamana. The temple of Gunvamana is layered with roofs decorated with reliefs. A stone elephant carved on the tower of the temple of the temple of Qunwamana. Stone statues on the walls of the temple of Gunvamana.

The carving of the incarnation of the boar Vishnu on the right is proud. The god above is gone, and he is still talking about love. Stone statues on the walls of the temple of Gunvamana. I saw the fairy statue of the twisted and spurred foot again, and it was still two. Statue of Lord Vishnu in the temple of Güvamana. The image of the fairy in the temple of Gunvamana turned to look in the mirror is very vivid.

The inner chamber of the temple of the temple of the god of Gunvamana. The inner chamber of the temple of Gunvamana enshrines the idol of one of the incarnations of the dwarf Vamana Vishnu. Vamona, also known as the three-step god, asked the demon king Barry for three steps, and as a result, he crossed the three worlds of heaven, air, and earth in three steps and defeated the demon king. The Gunjawari Temple is located not far south of the Varmana Temple, on the north side of the old village.

It is also a small pagoda temple, built in 1075~1100 years, dedicated to Vishnu. There are also two layers of semi-relief decorative bands on it, and the reliefs seen are much the same as the previous ones. There are also several small temples within the confines of the East Temple Complex near the old village, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu did not have time to see them: Hanuman Temple, a small yellow temple, built around 955.

Enshrine a 25-metre-tall statue of Hanuman, a monkey. The temple of Brahma is enshrined in the four-sided lingya. One of the oldest temples in Khajuraho. It was built around 900. The Gohantai temple is named after the chains and bells on the pillars. Inside is closed for tours. Khajuraho South Temple ComplexThe South Temple Complex is located in the south and there are three of them.

The nearest temple of Tulado is about 600 meters south of the Jain temple paddock junction, and the farthest Chadubiya temple is 4 kilometers away. There is also a Biamandar temple in the vicinity of the Chadubiya Temple. Located on the north bank of the Kuda River, the temple was built in about 1100~1150 and is the closest to the west temple in the Khajurahonan temple complex.

Because of the time, the tuk-tuk driver only took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to visit this temple in the South Temple Complex. From the outside, the appearance and size of this temple is a bit like that of the western temple complex. There are reliefs on the façade. The relief statues on the walls of the Tulado Temple are similar to the sculptures of Lord Shiva and the goddess of the snow-capped mountains in the Tulado Temple.

Slightly rough. The sculpture of Lord Shiva in the temple of Quntulado has a somewhat hideous appearance, which is in line with Shiva's character traits. It's a pity that there is damage. To the south of the Tulado Temple, there are also two temples belonging to the South Temple Group: And, both on the east side of the airport, where Li Xueluo and Liu Jingshu live, are too far away to see.

The old village is located on the east side of the town of Khajuraho, and the entrance of the village is about 1 km away from the West Temple, and the East Temple Group is scattered around it. The buildings in the village are all low, two-storey buildings with red brick walls, and some houses are painted white on the exteriors. The shape of the houses is not distinctive, and most of them are very simple, reflecting the low standard of living of the locals.

Standing on the roof of the second floor of the tuk-tuk driver's house, I saw the appearance of the courtyard, the furnishings in the yard were very simple, and there were not even many flowers and plants, but there were many clay pots placed on the wall as decorations. The driver's home is in this small village, and after seeing the Tulado Temple, he took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to his house to sit down, and by the way, he had close contact with the living environment of the locals, which was rare.

Large and small clay pots on the roof of the neighbor's house. I don't know if so many clay pots are made for sale or bought at home for personal use, like a bunch of simple handicrafts. The children next door are reviewing their homework in the yard, and adults are guiding them. The child held up the textbook to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, and asked Xueluo and Liu Jingshu if they had any candy.

Of course there is, throw some for the kids. They happily stretched out their hands to pick it up, and circled around the rooftops of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu stations, trying to get a little more. The children are innocent and cute, and they are very malleable, and I wish them a better living environment through their hard work when they grow up.

On the small dirt slope at the entrance of the village, two girls are making beef flour cakes, probably for fire. One after another spread on the grassy slope to dry. Think about the living environment of the children in Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's city, only to cherish it more and be more diligent. A very beautiful kingfisher rests on a power line.

The emerald blue back, dark brown head, tail and abdomen, and the striking white on the chest contrasts sharply with the blue of the predecessor and the back. The long, outstretched beak is used to catch small fish and shrimp. Underneath the bird is a small pond. The big bird that landed on the water pipe in front of me is very beautiful, and its name is very interesting, it is called "Orange-breasted Buddha Dharma Sangha".

It is related to the purple-breasted Buddha and Dharma monks seen in Africa. It is said that this bird has up to seven colors in one, and it is a rare and wealthy bird. However, the top and lower part of its head are emerald blue, with a dark blue band on the outer edge of its wings, and its neck and chest are orange, and its back is light orange. The name "Buddha, Dharma and Sangha" is derived from the Japanese language.

This birdsong is very similar to the Japanese pronunciation of "Buddha, Dharma and Sangha", and many literati have written poems to sing about it. In fact, the sound of "Buddha, Dharma and Sangha" is another kind of bird horned owl sound, when people realize this mistake, it has been rumored for a long time, so they have to make the mistake wrong, and even become the name of the bird family and order.

The beautiful posture of the Buddha, Dharma and monks at the time of takeoff. When the Dharma monk bird flutters its wings, you can clearly see the beautiful dark blue strips on its wings. This beautiful bird does not fly far, but lands on a nearby lamp pole in a circle, and looks at the snow at close range, not too afraid of people. I don't want to compare the length of India and the dragon country, but I want to praise the living habits of Indians who live in peace with wild animals.

It can be seen from the old murals in some royal palaces that before the last century, some people led by princes and nobles were very fond of hunting, and the scenes of shooting tigers, bears, wild boars, deer, etc., can be seen in the paintings.

This is worth learning from the people of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. Respect these lovely creatures in nature who are in the company of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. No buying, no vices, no harm. After watching the East Temple and the South Temple at five o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu had dinner and rest at this restaurant on the side of the street.

Until ten o'clock in the evening to the train station. Xueluo ordered a bowl of egg fried rice 140 + a bowl of chicken soup 140, which is roughly equivalent to 28 yuan, which is about the same as the domestic price. Of course, it is quite economical to eat in India in general, because you basically can't eat meat. Evening view of the streets, there are not many tourists who come to Khajuraho to visit this season, and the storefronts are deserted.

The hotel is also deserted. This is still to blame India's tourism environment is not good, the transportation is inconvenient, the diet is not hygienic enough, the environment is a little dirty, plus some little liars, hindering the development of India's tourism industry, many high-end tourists dare not come. Evening view of the streets. The upper floor of this building is where Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu spend their time eating dinner.

The environment is not bad, the meal is average, there is free. The train at 11 p.m. and 150 a.m. at 10 a.m. took a tuk-tuk to Khajuraho railway station, 8 kilometers away. This trip to India is not a big problem, what safety, what food hygiene, is not a problem, the most headache for Xueluo is the train, the thought of taking the train again.

It's a night train again, and you may be stuck at the station because the train is late, and that feeling of fear runs from head to toe! Amitabha, the train to Varanasi leaves Khajuraho train station at 11:40 p.m. sharp. Moreover, it is unbelievable that they made a pit stop 50 minutes early.

This is because this is not the departure station, which is almost 300 kilometers to the north, in Gwalior. When I got on the train, there was some light rain in the sky, I have been in India for more than 20 days, and it is sunny every day, and it is a little novel to see that it is raining. I found Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's carriage and bunk very smoothly.

This is the ninth train that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have taken in India for more than 20 days, and most of the passengers in this third-class air-conditioned carriage seem to be tourists, so the vigilance of the journey is negligible, not only are they too lazy to take out the chain lock luggage.
