Kankaleshwar Temple

Kankaleshwar Temple is a temple located in the town of Beed, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. History The temple bears no inscription, and therefore the exact date of its erection is unknown. However, from the style of its construction, it was probably built between the 10th and 12th centuries. Firishta mentions the locality of the temple as a site where a battle between a Hindu and Muslim kingdom took place. The temple fell into the hands of the Muslim kingdom, however, they made no changes to the structure except for the construction of a parapet wall on the roof. The Muslims would utilize the roof for their prayers, while the lower portion remained in possession of the Hindus. The temple was known as the Khanqah temple, or Khanqah Deval, during this period. Description The temple is located in the middle of a tank. The tank, square in shape, has a pavement running along its sides. The temple is to be approached by a causeway which leads to a flight of steps, leading to the temple building. The building is star-shaped, with elaborate carvings of Hindu gods and goddesses arranged in niches. The roof is domical-shaped, and is supported by 24 pillars. References

The fort is situated 180 km from Nagpur and 80 km from Chandrapur. History This village is supposed to have been established in Dvapara Yuga by a king named Vairacan (Son from a moon family). The city was ruled by the Mana chiefs, who about the 9th century fell to the Gonds. The Gonds ruled it along with Garbori and Rajgad. Vairagad once possessed diamond mines and are referred in the Ain-i-Akbari of Abul Fazal. On a hill at the foot were supposed to be a mine, now an old Idgah, and 108 Musalman tombs which appear to be of those soldiers killed in the battle when Ahmad Shah Bahamani of Bahmani Sultanate raided Vairagad around 1422. In 1925 the fort was declared as protected monument Places to visit The fortress lies north of the village spread over a 10-acre (4.0 ha) area. There are three gates at the entrance of the fort.

The step well with two arches, still containing water, is in a ruined state. there are two rectangular wells with large stone coverings. Presently the Archeology dept artment has taken up work of reconstruction of the main entrance. Outside the fort proper is the tomb of the Gond Prince Durga Sah and a grave of unknown English Girl who is believed to be the daughter of a British commandant of the garrison between 1818 and 1830.

Daitya Sudan Temple

Daitya Sudan Temple is a temple near Lonar Lake in the Indian state of Maharashtra. History Henry Cousens dates the temple to the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th centuries CE. He is of the opinion that the construction of the temple was never completed due to invasions of the Delhi Sultanate. Legend The legend associated with the temple states that a giant named Lonasura (or Lavanasura) used to reside in the area. The giant terrorized humans and animals, and threatened to overthrow even the gods. The gods then beseeched Vishnu to assist them, who took upon the form of a handsome youth in order to gain assistance of the giant's two sisters. He discovered the giant's underground dwelling, threw the lid open, and then slew the giant, burying him within the same pit wherein he used to reside. Therefore, the Daitya Sudan (giant-slayer) incarnation of Vishnu is worshipped here. The Lonar lake is supposed to be the pit within which the giant had resided, with its water representing his blood. A nearby hill is supposed to be the lid which Vishnu had thrown open. Description The Hemadpanthi temple has a plan in the shape of an irregular star. Towards the east is a flight of ten steps, which leads to the terrace, where the principal entrance is located. The temple is incomplete. A standing image of Surya occupies the niche at the back of the temple. This indicates that the temple might have been originally intended to be dedicated to Surya. The doorway to the sanctum is carved elaborately with an image of Ganesha on its lintel. Within the sanctum is the idol of the principal deity Vishnu, in his four-armed form, holding a conch, a chakra, a club, and a man by the hair. References

Jama Masjid (Junagadh)

Die ehemalige Jama Masjid („Freitagsmoschee“) in der Stadt Junagadh im Süden der Halbinsel Kathiawar/Saurashtra im indischen Bundesstaat Gujarat ist einer der eigenwilligsten Bauten ihrer Art. Lage Die ehemalige Freitagsmoschee von Junagadh liegt im Bereich des Uparkot-Forts zu Füßen des Mount Girnar. Die meisten anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt liegen in der Nähe und sind zu Fuß oder per Motor-Riksha zu erreichen. Geschichte Die Moschee wurde an der Stelle eines zerstörten Hindutempels oder Palastes nach der Einnahme der Stadt durch die muslimischen Truppen des Sultans von Gujarat Mahmud Begada (reg. 1458–1511) im Jahr 1472 erbaut. Ihr Bau blieb jedoch in Teilen unvollendet. Architektur Die zum Teil aus wiederverwendeten Baumaterialien (Spolien) erbaute und – trotz vieler Jali-Fenster – insgesamt eher blockhaft wirkenden Moschee ist von einer bis zu 10 m hohen zinnenbewehrten Mauer bzw. Außenwand umgeben; die Moschee selbst besteht aus einem kleinen Hof (sahn) und einer überdachten Gebetshalle mit einer nach Mekka orientierten Qibla-Wand, in die mehrere Mihrab-Nischen eingelassen sind. Vor dem Hauptmihrab mit einer im Äußeren in der Art eines Hindu-Toranas reich dekorierten Rahmung befindet sich ein zweigeschossiges, nach oben halboffenes Oktogon mit einem provisorischen Dach. Bemerkenswert ist das Fehlen eines Minaretts; in den vier Ecken der Moschee erheben sich lediglich etwa 2 m hohe monolithisch wirkende und treppenlose Türmchen. Kanonen Zwei im Jahr 1531 in Kairo gegossene Bronzekanonen, denen man die Namen Neelam und Kadanal gegeben hat, wurden nach der Belagerung des von den Portugiesen gehaltenen Forts von Diu durch die Osmanen im Jahr 1538 neben der Moschee aufgestellt.

Jumma Masjid, Uparkot

The Jumma Masjid or Jama Masjid is a former Friday mosque, now in partial ruins, in Uparkot Fort in Junagadh, in the state of Gujarat, India. The mosque was built in 15th century by converting a temple or a palace identified as Ranakdevi Mahal by local people and the Archaeological Survey of India. The structure is a Protected Monument in the state of Gujarat. History The Jumma Masjid (Friday Mosque) was built by Mahmud Begada in 15th century following capture of Junagadh in 1472. It is evidently constructed from the materials of a Hindu or Jain temple or previously existing palace. The palace is now identified as Ranakdevi Mahal by local people attributing it to Ranakdevi, the legendary queen of Chudasama ruler Khengara. The Jumma Masjid and cannons are enlisted as the State Protected Monument (S-GJ-115) by Archaeology Department of the Government of Gujarat. In 2020, the Gujarat tourism department placed a board marking the place as Jami Masjid–Ranakdevi Mahal. The local Rajput community objected to the identification as a mosque and protested. Later the board was removed. As of 2020, the former mosque was being restored under Uperkot Fort Restoration Project of the Government of Gujarat. Architecture The mosque is built on a brick platform and looks like a citadel. It has solid thick walls and a slim column rising from a corner. The column looks more like a turret than a minaret. The mosque was never finished and the part of its hall is open to sky. There is a staircase leading to terraced roof. It was reinstalled during the restoration. Cannons Facing the walls, outside the mosque, there is a huge bell-metal cannon called Nilam which has 25-centimetre (10 in) bore, and is 5.2 metres (17 ft) long and 1.42 metres (4 ft 8 in) round at the mouth. This cannon was brought from Diu, where it was left by the Ottoman admiral Suleyman Pasha following their defeat in siege of Diu (1538) while assisting Gujarat Sultanate against their struggle with Portuguese. There is an Arabic inscription at the muzzle, which may be translated: "The order to make this cannon, to be used in the service of the Almighty, was given by the Sultan of Arabia and Persia, Sultan Sulaiman, son of Salim Khan. May his triumph be glorified, to punish the enemies of the State and of the Faith, in the capital of Egypt, 1531." At the breech is inscribed: "The work of Muhamman, the son of Hamzah." Another large cannon called Kadanal, also from Diu, in the southern portion of the fort, is 4.0 metres (13 ft) long, and has a muzzle 1.2 metres (4 ft) in diameter.
