#ChaturbhujTemple, dedicated to Vishnu, is situated at #Orchha in #MadhyaPradesh, India. The name Chaturbhuj is a combination of 'chatur' meaning "four" and 'bhuj' meaning "arms" which literally translates to "one who has four arms" and refers to Rama an Avatar of Vishnu. The temple has a complex multi-storied structural view which is a blend of temple, fort and palace architectural features.

The Chaturbhuj Temple right in the heart of Orchha dominates the village quite unlike any other temple I have visited in India. It’s a magnificent, huge, tall, skyscraper-like structure, the impressive towering shikaras in the shape of pine cones almost seem to reach out to the sky. Construction of the temple was started in 1558 by Madhukar Shah who built it for his wife, Rani Ganesh Kunwari. It was subsequently completed by his son Vir Singh Deo. So why did Madhukar Shah build the Chaturbhuj Temple on such a grand scale for his wife ? Here we now have to delve into local legend. One night, Queen Rani Ganesh Kunwari had a dream visitation by Lord Rama, who instructed her to build a temple for him. Her husband, Madhukar Shah, approved the building of the temple and work commenced whilst the queen traveled to Ayodhya and returned with an image of Rama that was intended to be housed in the newly built temple. Upon her return the temple was still under construction, hardly surprising as it’s a massive building and I suspect may have taken decades to complete. So while everyone waited for the temple to be completed, the idol of Rama was placed in her palace next door, the Rani Mahal. Upon completion of the Chaturbhuj Temple, attempts were made to move Rama’s idol out of the Rani Mahal, but all efforts failed – the idol “refused” to be relocated. So the Chaturbhuj Temple remained without an idol in its sanctum, and as the Rama idol was now being actively worshiped in the Rani Mahal palace, the building was converted into the Ram Raja Temple. Today the Chaturbhuj Temple houses an image of Radheykrishan. The interior of the 105m high temple is as impressive as the exterior. Here the footprint of the building becomes even more obvious, with its cross shape representing the four arms of Rama (an avatar of Vishnu). In many respects the layout of the temple is very similar to that of a western Basilica. #swiggywala #localguides @googlemaps #incredibletemples #madhyapradesh #madhyapradeshtourism #mptourism #thegenuineindia #templesofindia #orchha #Chaturbhuj #Chaturbhujtemple #vishnu https://www.instagram.com/p/CcA4eSNvV2M/?utm_medium=tumblr

In my typical travel sense I had to reccie the land before an in-depth immersion into the place. Here are some of the iPhone captures of the Chaturbhuj Temple in Orchha, India.

#ChaturbhujTemple is the most imposing and magnificent structure in #Orchha and is one of the ancient architectural marvels of that time . It was built by king Madhukar in between the years 1558 and 1573. The temple houses an idol of Lord Vishnu with four arms but was originally meant for Lord Rama’s idol. Legends say that when Lord Rama’s idol which is placed at the Rani Niwas, the private residence of Raja Madhukar’s wife- Maharani Gansh Kunwar, rejected to move to the temple, an idol of Lord Vishnu with four arms was kept in the temple and this is how the temple came to be known as Chaturbhuj Temple ! https://www.instagram.com/p/B75L4JcB_t9/?igshid=1386hbg4gwn7j

The Chaturbhuj Temple (also known as Jatkari Temple) is situated south of Khajuraho, about 650m south-west of Jatkari village not far from the airport. By far the best time to visit is around 4:30pm, for reasons that will become very clear in the second image. This is a modest sized and much restored temple, similar in plan to the Javari Temple, and consists of a sanctum, vestibule, mandapa and porch. The sculptures set within three bands on the exterior of the temple are considered somewhat stereotyped, which suggests this temple was probably built not long before the Duladeo Temple, around 1100 A.D. Despite what may be a slightly disappointing temple exterior by Khajuraho standards, the real wonder of Chaturbhuj is held within the sanctum. Here is possibly one of the most majestic icons of northern India, a 2.75m high four-armed statue of Vishnu. Unlike most other temples at Khajuraho, Chaturbhuj faces west, as does this magnificent sculpture. If you visit the temple at around 4:30pm you will be treated to the icon being lit by the golden rays of the setting sun, which is simply magical. There is some debate as to whether this really is an image of Vishnu. The head appears to have the Jata (hairs) of Shiva, but the posture with one leg resting on the toe is similar to that of Krishna (the eighth avatar of Vishnu). #swiggywala #khajuraho #khajurahotemples #incredibletemples #madhyapradesh #madhyapradeshtourism #mptourism #unesco #worldheritagesite #worldhistoricalmonuments #thegenuineindia #templesofindia #ChaturbhujTemple #vishnu https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbcq4cBPjYC/?utm_medium=tumblr
