As the month of Shravan is going on, the Jharkhand Mahadev temple located at Prem Pura Village, Jaipur is witnessing huge crowd of Lord Shiva devotees all day until very late evenings. Many of these devotees are visiting this beautiful temple for the first time ever. Such devotees remain amazed with the beautiful carvings work at the temple. The architectural style of Jharkhand Mahadev temple resembles that of the temples that are found in south India. Built using the Dravid style of the south, this temple has a design similar to the Tiruchirapalli located in Tamil Nadu. Let’s know a bit more about the story behind Jharkhand Mahadev temple and its south inspired design.
How did this temple look like around a century ago?
In the year 1918, when the temple’s construction work started, there was just a sanctum (a sacred piece of land with a shrine). But then in the year 2000 the temple was rebuilt. However, it was ensured that the shrine area is retained as it is without any changes. The temple was constructed surrounding the sanctum, on the outside of it.
How was the outer structure built?
The outer structure was built in the style south Indian temples are constructed. The outer structure of Jharkhand Mahadev temple involved construction of a gopuram (monumental tower at the entrance), mandap (pavilion) and the garbh grah (sanctum). But since a tree came in between of the construction, a bit of gap was kept between the gopuram and mandap.
