Description:
Situated near a tank and
facing a hill studded with Jain temples, Nachna offers to the visitors a
Gupta temple ( dating from 5th century A.D.), consecrated to
Parvati goddess, and the Chaturmukka Mahadeva Temple in Pratihara style,
IX century whose interior contains a magnificent linga with four faces
of Sada Shiva. In this way Krishna Deva describes the temples in Temples of North India
National Book Trust, New Delhi,
2005 ( prima edition 1969).
The Parvati Temple :“ The
second group of temples, characterised by the addition of a roofed
ambulatory round the sanctum and otherwise following the plan of the
preceding group, is represented by the Parvati Temple at Nachna (
District Panna in M. P), and a ruined temple at Baigram ( District
Dinajpur, Bangladesh).The wall and the roof of the once-covered passage of the Nachna Temple have now disappeared
leaving an opened promenade, where the ambulatory is lighted by
trellises. The Nachna
Temple is also
notable for carrying a square, flat-roofed cell as an upper chamber placed
above the sanctum. The plain façade of the Nachna Temple
was originally relieved by a few
sculptured niches and a continuous relief imitating rock formations and
grottos, containing figures of birds and animals.”(pgg.8-9)
The Chaturmukha Mahadeva Temple "The
Chaturmukha Mahadeva Temple at Nachna, in District Panna,
famous for its diamond fields, carries over its sanctum a developed
northern shikhara, of pancha-ratha design. The Temple preserves
only a square tri-ratha, sanctum with a plain interior and a
richly decorated exterior. The interior, lighted by a doorway in
the east and trellis-windows on the remaining 3 sides, enshrines a
powerfully rendered chaturmukka Shiva -linga , noted
for the sublime expression of its 4 faces. Externally, the trellis-windows
on the cardinals offsets s are surmounted by a pair of niches, depicting
Vidhyadaras ( divines attendants) with their consorts, crowned by a
pediments of chaitya-dormers. Each corner buttress of the wall
show a niche carrying an image of the Regent of the cardinal point,
surmounted by an elaborate pediment. Of 5 storeys, the shikkara
is covered with a developed mesh of chaitya-dormers. All
its buttresses project beyond the shoulder of the spire, which is
surmounted by a heavy amalaka. While the windows and
doorways of the temple are carved with friezes depicting dwarfs,
scrolls, river-goddesses and the over-door design in the Gupta
tradition, its moulding and shikkara design, the treatment
of the Regents, and decorative architectural motifs like the pediment,
hearth-shaped flowers, garland-loops and square rafter ends
carved with convention lion heads are in the developed
Pratihara style of the 9th century." pg.23
Beyond the temples there
is a nice adivasi village, now
uninhabitated because of the migration, of whom are very beautiful
the buildings around the wide stretch.
