Mukhalingam in the Brahma Temple, Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh

Kevin Standage wrote : The Brahma Temple is likely to be the first monument you visit when touring the eastern group of temples at Khajuraho. It’s positioned on the banks of the Khajur Sagar tank, a pretty spot with the village as a backdrop.

This humble little temple holds a bit of a surprise within. The temple was originally dedicated to Vishnu, an image of the god takes center stage on the lintel. Aside from that and figures of the river goddesses Ganga and Yamuna on either side of the door, there is no sculptural adornment on the temple walls. The temple has a simple plan, consisting of just a sanctum and porch, the later now completely lost. The roof is a pyramidal sikhara, with two side walls containing pretty latticed windows. This temple belongs to the same conception and early structural phase the more ruined Lalguan Mahadeva temple. It shares a common plan, design, ornaments and building material, and is consequently dated to around 925 CE. So why is a temple so clearly dedicated to Vishnu now called the Brahma Temple ?

The answer to that lies inside. This temple is miscalled Brahma on account of a four-faced Shiva lingam, mistaken for the four-faced Brahma, that is now enshrined in the hugely atmospheric sanctum. The lingam is a much later addition to the temple but I have no idea when it was placed here, neither Alexander Cunningham nor T.S. Burt make any mention of it.

This is form of lingam known as a mukhalingam, they generally have one, four or five faces carved on the stone. The four and five faced mukhalingams represent the five aspects of Shiva, those having just four faces carved on them are believed to have an invisible fifth face at the top of the linga, facing upwards to the universe. The faces carved on the cardinal points of the lingam are not completely identical, there are very subtle differences. For example, the face looking south has the mouth open, and with a distinctly angry expression, representing the Destroyer aspect of Shiva.

Built circa 960 C.E. during the reign of the Chandela king Dhanga and originally dedicated to Adinatha, Parshvanatha Temple is one of the finest Khajuraho monuments. The temple is rectangular in plan, with an east projection containing the entrance porch, and the west projection housing a shrine attached to the rear of the sanctum. The temple has an inner ambulatory, but unlike many other Khajuraho temples, it has no transepts with balconied windows. As a result, the outer wall of the temple is more solid, and the sculptors made maximum use of this blank canvas to apply their expertise. Beautiful carvings adorn the temple exterior, in particular of apsaras caught in the act of activities such as applying eye make-up. Their voluminous nature, size, and poise, draws many parallels with the Lakshmana Temple (western group). There’s also a vast array of vyalas with different heads, some of parrots, elephants, lions, and other creatures. The upper row of carvings is a little more animated, with varied scenes including flying figures and musicians. Nobody is quite sure why this Jain temple contains so many images of Hindu deities on the outside wall, a theme also mirrored by the adjacent Adinatha Temple. It is believed the earliest idol to be enshrined here was Adinatha. When Alexander Cunningham visited the temple in 1852 he found the main sanctum empty, and described it as merely “Jainatha Temple”. He also noted the temple was repaired by a Jain banker in 1847. 13 years later in 1860 a Parshvanatha idol was installed in the main sanctum. An inscription (dated 954 C.E.) on the left door jamb of the temple records gifts and endowments of gardens by Pahila as a devotee of Jainism, and states that he was held in great esteem by king Dhanga. The image installed in the shrine to the back of the sanctum is Adinatha, who the temple was originally dedicated to. I presume this a later installation as Cunningham made no reference to it in 1852.
