Muslim Temple Ruins at Mandu Pradesh (Original)

The Painting

The Muslim Temple Ruins in Mandu Pradesh are a sight to behold. Located amidst the lush green hills of the Vindhyas, the ruins are a silent reminder of India’s glorious past and a great source of inspiration for watercolour artists.

The Muslim Temple ruins offer a great opportunity to capture the beauty of the place on the canvas. The ruins provide a great variety of textures, shades and shapes that can be used to create a unique watercolour painting. This also allows me to create a unique interpretation of the temple’s past grandeur and its place in history.

Some History

The Muslin Temple was built around the 11th century by the Parmar dynasty. It was a grand temple complex that was dedicated to the goddess Mahalakshmi. The temple was embellished with intricate carvings, sculptures, grand arches, domes, and pillars. It was said to be a masterpiece of temple architecture and was a popular pilgrimage destination for centuries.

Unfortunately, the temple was destroyed during the Mughal invasion of Mandu and has since been reduced to ruins. However, despite its sorry state, the ruins still boast of a majestic grandeur. The crumbling walls, arches, and pillars are a testament to the craftsmanship of the Parmar dynasty and serve as a reminder of a glorious past.
