Summary
[edit]DescriptionPolpully Shiva temple, Palaghat Kerala 023.jpg |
English: The Polpully Shiva temple in Palghat district) is a mid 9th-century Hindu temple ruin in central Kerala. It is an east facing nirandhara temple whose base was built of granite. The upper section and some structures of the temple have been restored. The most notable feature of this temple is a stone slab with a Sanksrit inscription in 9th-century Nagari script. This inscription records a donation of fifty kalanju of gold for perpetual lamps and pilgrim community kitchen. The Nagari script attests to the exchange of ideas and gifts between north India and Kerala by the 9th-century.
The adhisthana of Polpully Shiva temple includes an upana, jagati, kumuda, kantha, kampa, upper kantha, pattika and undecorated vedi. The sopana of the Shiva temple depicts a lion. To the north of the historic temple are traces of a lost square temple. The temple compound has damaged Hindu artwork. The village of Polpully has several other ruined temples site – attesting to its historic importance. The locals believe that the destruction and desecration was caused by the soldiers of Tipu Sultan. |
