Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Deoguna – sometimes spelled as Devguna – is a small village southwest of Satna city. It is the site of a group of three Hindu temples variously dated between the 8th and 10th century.
The three temples share a platform (jagati). The main central temple is dedicated to Chaturbhuj Vishnu, the second to Shiva, the third to Ganesha. Locals sometimes refer to the entire group as Vishnu mandir samuh. All three temples have a square plan, phamsana style pyramidal roof. The walls are largely plain, the doorway to sanctum have Ganga, Yamuna and minimal artwork. Near the temples are several historic statues, many beheaded or with chopped limbs, in a manner similar to many iconoclastic damaged temples in this region. These and the statues inside the sanctums include notable artwork such as of Dasavatara, Durga Mahisasuramardini, and Shiva. One lintel features Trimurti. |
