Temple de Nandi

Le temple de Nandi (Devanagari: नन्दी मंदिर) est dédié à Nandi ou Nandi Devar (tamil: நந்தி - sanscrit: नंदी) qui est la monture (en sanscrit: vāhana) de Shiva, ainsi que le gardien de la porte de Shiva et de Parvati dans la mythologie hindoue. Il est situé à Khajurâho dans l'état du Madhya Pradesh, en Inde. L'édifice fait partie du groupe situé à l'Ouest du site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO au titre de l'Ensemble monumental de Khajuraho. Le temple a été classé « Monument d'Importance nationale » par l'ASI. Histoire Les temples dédié à Shiva et à Parvati ont en commun de présenter des statues de pierre de Nandi faisant face à Shiva. Le taureau est généralement représenté couché devant l'entrée des temples dédiés au dieu. Le taureau placé ainsi, peut intercéder auprès du dieu. Les dévots adressent leur demande à l'oreille de Nandi et comme il est situé face à Shiva, il lui transmet la supplique du shivaïte. A Khajurâho, conformément à la tradition, le temple de Nandi est donc situé en face d'un temple dédié à Shiva, le temple de Vishvanatha. Description Le temple est de taille modeste et de plan rectangulaire (chabutara). La structure principale est une combinaison de croix et de rectangles, où le rectangle forme le sanctuaire et les croix forment les quatre balcons (un de chaque côté). Le dôme est soutenu par des pilastres. À l'intérieur, la statue du taureau mesure 2,2 m de long et 1,8 m de haut. Des sculptures « érotiques » de couple sont également visible sur le toit, ainsi que la représentation de Shiva avec son trident sur l'épaule droite et le serpent Nâga sur l'épaule gauche.

New Yamuna Bridge

The New Yamuna Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge located in Prayagraj. The bridge was constructed by the end of 2004 with the aim of minimizing the traffic over the Old Naini Bridge. The bridge runs north–south across the Yamuna River connecting the city of Prayagraj to its neighborhood of Naini. The construction was consulted by COWI A/S, a Danish consulting company. Main construction was done by Hyundai and was successfully completed in 2004. The structure spans 1,510 meters with a main span of 260 meters, featuring six traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways. History The New Yamuna Bridge was constructed to ease congestion from the older Naini Bridge and improve connectivity between Prayagraj and Naini, especially due to increasing commuter and pilgrimage traffic. The construction began in the early 2000s and the bridge was completed in 2004, officially opened for public use the same year. It was built by Hyundai Engineering and Construction with engineering consultation from COWI A/S, a Danish engineering consultancy with expertise in large-scale civil projects. The project was one of India's earliest modern cable-stayed bridges, reflecting a shift toward international infrastructure collaboration and urban modernization in northern India. Structural Specifications The New Yamuna bridge is a cable-stayed structure with a main span of 260 m and a total length of 1,510 m, designed to withstand high vehicular loads while minimizing disruption to the Yamuna River's flow. It features a six-lane carriageway, with two additional pedestrian walkways flanking both sides, accommodating both motor and foot traffic. The pylons rise to a height of 151 meters, with cables arranged in a harp pattern, that us visually enhancing the Prayagraj skyline while ensuring even load distribution.

Chitragupta Temple, Khajuraho

The Chitragupta temple is an 11th century temple of Surya (sun god) in the Khajuraho town of Madhya Pradesh, India. Architecturally, it is very similar to the nearby Jagadambi temple. The temple is a part of the Khajuraho Group of Monuments, a World Heritage Site. History Based on the epigraphic evidence, the temple's construction can be dated to 1020-1025 CE. It was probably consecrated on 23 February 1023 CE, on the occasion of Shivaratri. The temple has been classified as a Monument of National Importance by the Archaeological Survey of India. Architecture The Chitragupta temple is very similar to the nearby Jagadambi temple. It has a sanctum with a circumambulatory path, a vestibule, a maha-mandapa (large hall) with transepts, and an entrance porch. The large hall has an octagonal ceiling, which is more ornate than the corresponding ceiling in the Jagadambi temple. This suggests that the Chitragupta temple was constructed slightly later than the Jagadambi temple. The building has two balconies, and the ascending scale of the roof is not as impressive as that of the more prominent temples in Khajuraho. The temple is part of the Khajuraho Group of Monuments, designated a World Heritage Site for its outstanding art and architecture. Sculptures The temple's sanctum has a partially broken 2.1 metres (6.9 ft) tall statue of Surya riding a chariot of seven horses. He is shown standing, dressed in an armoured coat and boots, and holding lotus flowers. The door lintel of the sanctum also features three similar but smaller images of Surya. The exterior walls of the temple are covered with erotic couples, surasundari, and various gods, including an 11-headed Vishnu. The Vishnu sculpture shows the god in his para rupa (supreme form) with his ten incarnations: this rare representation is not seen anywhere else, and does not find a mention in any historical text. Other sculptures include figures of couples engaged in mithuna, and the apsaras showing their yoni by holding their garments lower. There is also a sculpture of Shiva's attendant Nandi, who is shown with a human body and a bull's head. These sculptures (and those in the Jagadambi temple) can be dated after the Vishvanatha sculptures and before the Kandariya Mahadeva sculptures. References Bibliography -
Badshahnagar railway station

Badshahnagar railway station is a very important railway station on the Barabanki–Lucknow Suburban Railway. It serves the Badshah Nagar locality of Indira Nagar. The station is located in a very densely populated area; thus, it handles a large amount of traffic. The number of platforms, however, can not be increased due to lack of space. The railway management has provided many services, added a new entrance from Platform 3 side and added facilities to cope up with traffic. Earlier a few trains like Gorakhpur Intercity Express used to originate / terminate here, but now it has been cancelled. Since this is small station with 3 platforms, it is now completely saturated with trains and railway is now compelled to develop Gomti Nagar as a terminal station.

Brahma Temple, Khajuraho

Brahma Temple is a ninth or early tenth century temple and is located at Chhatarpur in Madhya Pradesh, India. Although titled after the Hindu god Brahma, the temple is dedicated to Shiva. This temple, along with many others built during the Chandela dynasty, form the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Khajuraho Group of Monuments. Background The temple is located on the banks of Khajuraho Sagar lake. It is incorrectly called Brahma Temple; the garbhagriha (sanctum) of the temple contains a four faced lingam, the symbol of Shiva, and local worshippers mistook this for a sculpture of Brahma, who has four faces. The western windows and the central positions of the lintels of the garbhagriha contain figures of Vishnu. However, the stones from which they are made are different from the stones which are used to build the temple. The temple was built in either ninth and earlier half of the tenth century. Architecture The Brahma temple is one of the various surviving temples in the Khajuraho temple complex. Unlike most of the other temples, which are made of grainstone, this temple is made of granite. The plan of this temple is similar to that of the Lalguan Mahadeva temple. These temples were built during a period in which a transition was occurring from granite to sandstone. According to the Archaeological Survey of India, the plan of this temple is simpler compared to the other temples of Khajuraho. The shikhara (the tower over the chamber in which the deity is kept) is made of sandstone. The temple originally consisted of a porch and a garbhagriha. The porch has been destroyed and only the garbhagriha remains which is crowned by the shikhara. Externally, the garbhagriha is cruciform in shape and contains projections in each side. Internally, it is square in shape and rests on 12 pilasters of granite. The eastern projection contains the main doorway, and the western projection contains a smaller doorway. Latticed windows are present on the remaining two lateral projections. The main doorway is largely unornamented. It only contains a sculpture of the trimurti on the lintel and Ganga and Yamuna at the base. References Bibliography Deva, Krishna (2002). Khajuraho. Archaeological Survey of India. Dhama, B.L.
