Lago Manimahesh

O lago Manimahesh (também conhecido como lago Dal) é um lago de grande altitude (4080 metros) situado próximo ao Pico Manimahesh Kailash, na cadeia de Pir Panjal dos Himalaias, na subdivisão Bharmour do distrito de Chamba, no estado Indiano de Himachal Pradesh. O significado religioso deste lago é similar ao do lago Manasarovar no Tibete. O lago é o palco de uma peregrinação altamente reverenciada, realizada durante o mês de agosto/setembro correspondente ao mês de Bhadon de acordo com o calendário Hindu, no oitavo dia do período da Lua Nova. A peregrinação é conhecida como 'Manimahesh Yatra'. O Governo de Himachal Pradesh declarou-a como um movimento de peregrinação de nível estadual. Lenda De acordo com uma lenda popular, acredita-se que Xiva criou o lago Manimahesh depois de ter se casado com a deusa Parvati, que é adorada como Mata Girija. Existem muitas lendas que conectam Shiva e suas demonstrações de desagrado com avalanches e nevascas que ocorrem na região. A etimologia de Manimahesh significa uma "joia" (Mani) na coroa do "Senhor Xiva" (Mahesh). De acordo com uma lenda local, os raios lunares que são refletidos na joia podem ser vistos do lago Manimahesh em noites claras e límpidas de lua cheia (que é uma ocasião rara). No entanto, foi inferido que tal fenômeno poderia ser o resultado da reflexão da luz da geleira que cobre o pico da montanha, na forma de uma serpente que envolve o pescoço de Shiva. Características geográficas O lago, de origem glacial, fica no alcance superior de Ghoi nala, um tributário do rio Budhil, que por sua vez é um tributário do rio Rauí, em Himachal Pradesh. Aém disso, o próprio lago é a origem de um outro riacho tributário do rio Budhil, chamado de Manimahesh Ganga, que se origina do lago como uma catarata. O lago, considerado uma depressão glacial, se alimenta por água proveniente do derretimento de neve das colinas que o cercam. Próximo ao fim de junho, com o gelo começando a derreter, diversos pequenos córregos surgem ao redor do lago. O campo de neve na base da montanha é chamado pelos habitantes locais de "playground de Shiva", de acordo com uma crença de que Shiva teria ficado no local junto com sua consorte Parvati. Referências
Sonnentempel von Martand

Die Ruinen des Sonnentempels von Martand liegen im Distrikt Anantnag im indischen Unionsterritorium Jammu und Kaschmir und sind von großer historischer und kultureller Bedeutung für das Kaschmirtal. Darüber hinaus sind die frühen Hindutempel Kaschmirs von großer politischer Bedeutung im anhaltenden Konflikt zwischen Indien und Pakistan um die Zugehörigkeit der Region. Lage Der Tempelkomplex von Martand liegt zusammen mit dem – wahrscheinlich erst später hinzugekommenen – Dörfchen Mattan auf einem Hügelplateau in einer Entfernung von etwa 8 km östlich der Stadt Anantnag in einer Höhe von ca. 1720 m; die Entfernung von Srinagar beträgt etwa 65 km in südöstlicher Richtung. Geschichte Der dem hinduistischen Sonnengott Surya (anderer Sanskrit-Name: Martand) geweihte Tempel wurde von König Lalitaditya-Muktapida (reg. ca. 723–760) aus der Karkota-Dynastie in der ersten Hälfte des 8. Jahrhunderts – möglicherweise an der Stelle eines Vorgängerbaus aus dem 4. oder 5. Jahrhundert – errichtet. Zuvor durch Erdbeben beschädigt, zerstörten zu Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts die Truppen des muslimischen Eroberers Sikandar Butshikan (reg. 1389–1413) den Tempelkomplex endgültig. Erst im 19. Jahrhundert entdeckten die damals über Indien herrschenden Briten das Bauwerk und seine Bedeutung; sie unternahmen in der Folge umfangreiche Sicherungs- und Restaurierungsmaßnahmen. Architektur und Bauzier Der mehrere Stileinflüsse aufnehmende Haupttempel erhebt sich in einem versenkt liegenden und von etwa 3 m hohen Mauern umgebenen rechteckigen Innenhof, dessen Seitenlängen etwa 67 m × 43 m betragen. Der peristyl-artige und ehemals überdachte Umgang barg insgesamt 81 Nischen, in welchen sich vierarmige Götterfiguren befanden; die Nischen wurden von je zwei reich geschmückten Halbsäulen gerahmt und hatten jeweils ein trapezförmiges Kraggewölbedach, innerhalb dessen ein Dreipassbogen Kopf und Schultern der Figur rahmte. Die tieferliegenden Wände der Innenhofs waren ebenfalls mit kleinen Figuren (Musikanten, Tänzer etc.) geschmückt. Der Haupttempel bestand aus einer kleinen Vorhalle (mandapa) mit seitlichen Annexbauten, einem Vorraum (antarala) und der eigentlichen Cella (garbhagriha), die wahrscheinlich von einem gestuften pyramidenförmigen Dach bedeckt wurde; er war umgeben von mehreren kleineren Tempeln, so dass eine panchayatana-Anlage entstand. Die erhöht liegenden Eingänge von Haupttempel und Hof befinden sich jeweils im Westen; die Cella weist demzufolge nach Osten.

Mehrauli Archaeological Park

Der Mehrauli Archaeological Park im Süden der indischen Metropole Delhi gehört zu den weniger bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt. Die zahlreichen verstreut liegenden Bauten (Moscheen, Mausoleen, Stufenbrunnen etc.) stammen zumeist aus der islamischen Zeit. Lage Der Park liegt im Stadtteil Mehrauli in einer Höhe von ca. 250 m; er grenzt südlich an den vielbesuchten Qutb-Komplex an. Die nächstgelegene Metro-Station ist Qutb Minar. Geschichte In mittelalterlicher Zeit hieß das gesamte Gebiet des heutigen Stadtteils Mehrauli Lal Kot nach einem Fort, welches im Jahr 1180 vom Chauhan-König Prithviraj III. erobert wurde; die Stätte wurde danach Qila Rai Pithora genannt. Im Jahr 1192 eroberte der muslimische General Qutb-ud-Din Aibak im Auftrag Muhammad von Ghurs die Stadt – er wurde zum Begründer des Sultanats von Delhi. Im Lauf der Zeit verlagerte sich das Interesse der jeweiligen Herrscher und folglich auch der Einwohner weiter nach Norden in das Gebiet des heutigen Old Delhi. Aus Lal Kot wurde zeitweise eine Totenstadt mit zahlreichen Mausoleen. Wichtige Bauten Anangtal-Baoli (um 1060) Gandhak Ki Baoli (13. Jh.) Wall-Moschee (14. Jh.)
